Jackson then threw himself onto Cherry and pressed her hard under him. As soon as he touched the woman his entire body gradually became hotter and hotter, and he couldn't control himself any longer.
"Jackson, stop it!" quickly said Cherry when she felt the change on his body, distressed that the asshole on top of her treated her like that every time.
Jackson whispered into Cherry's ear, "You love your son with all your heart, but what about me? Do you even care about me?"
"Yes, " said Cherry, as she tried her best to calm herself down.
He suddenly raised his head and looked into Cherry's eyes, and said, "Are you upset because I slapped you earlier in the morning?"
Cherry looked at Jackson expressionless, and replied, "No."
"Then why are you rejecting me? You've already spent the whole day with Joe. Why do you still want to be with him in the evening? Don't you have any spare time for me?" said Jackson, dissatisfied with her. Jackson was very upset. Although he was happy to have Joe around him, he was also jealous of him, because Cherry gave all of her attention to their son, and ignored him instead.
Because Cherry knew Jackson's character well, she also knew that it was wise for her to be obedient to him.
She lowered her voice and softly said to him, "Jackson, our son has just moved in a new home, and everything here is strange for him. He's still a baby, and I have to spend more time with him these days."
When Jackson heard Cherry's soft voice, all of his anger and jealousy instantly faded away; she could always sway him so easily.
"But you can sleep in the same bedroom as I do. Why did you move into this room? Don't you know already that this is the guest room?" asked Jackson. He still didn't want to let her off the hook so easily.
All of a sudden, Cherry wrapped her arms around Jackson's neck, and intimately said, "Didn't you tell me that this house was for me?"
"Yes, I did, " replied Jackson.
"Then I can sleep wherever I want to, " said Cherry.
Jackson fell silent after he heard her, and wondered when had the woman in front of him become so cunning.
"I can't agree with you here, " said Jackson arrogantly. "We're a couple, and we have to sleep together in the same bedroom." He was eager for Cherry to come back to him, because he wanted to sleep with her.
"Well, let's talk about it some other time; I have to stay with our son first, at least for the next couple of days, " said Cherry. She couldn't let Jackson do whatever he wanted, because before she had moved in the house, she had made up her mind that she had to protect both her, and her son. She couldn't allow anyone to hurt her son.
At that moment, Jackson fell silent and didn't say anything more. He wanted to reject her words, but when he heard her soft voice, he couldn't say no to her.
When Cherry saw that Jackson had given his tacit consent to her request, she took her hands off of his neck, patted him on the arm, and said, "Let me go now, I have to go into our son's room and sleep next to him."
"What about me?" said Jackson in a helpless manner. He still wasn't willing to let her go.
"Go back to your room and go to bed, " said Cherry, and with this, she pushed him aside, got up, quickly grabbed her pajamas, and walked out of the bedroom.
The following morning, after Cherry and Joe got up and washed, Cherry took her son's hand and went downstairs.
Jackson was already eating his breakfast when they came down. Cherry didn't greet him, and Joe did the same, because his Mommy hadn't; Jackson was totally ignored by them.
When Lily Wu saw them walking into the dining room, she warmly greeted them with a big smile on her face, "Good morning, Cherry, Joe!"
"Morning, " said Cherry, nodding to her.
Cherry and Joe then sat at the table next to Jackson, and Lily Wu served them breakfast. Before they started to eat, Cherry said to her son, "Joe, why didn't you say hello to your father?"
