Ice and Fire novel Chapter 197

Cherry waited for a long time, but she got no answer from Jackson. She was slightly disappointed, and all of her expectations vanished in an instant.

"Why can't you leave her?" asked Cherry. She was eager to get an answer out of him, and couldn't wait any longer.

Jackson looked at her, and slowly said, "Honey, it's my fate, and I just can't simply cut her out for the rest of my life."

After she heard his words, Cherry guessed that something definitely happened between Jackson and Sally, and she had been afraid of that ever since she had talked to Stephen and Sally last time.

"Can't you just tell me what happened between the two of you?" asked Cherry, and after she thought about it more, she added, "Why did she leave you in the first place? Why did she come back again?"

Jackson wasn't going to tell Cherry anything about it. She was the one that he tried his best to protect, and he thought that it was best for Cherry to keep those things hidden away from her.

He said, "Baby, you don't need to know about those things, okay? The only thing that you need to know is that I love you with all my heart." Jackson tried to evade answering her question; he wanted her to never know the truth.

Cherry knew that Jackson was keeping something hidden away from her, and that he refused to tell her about it. She couldn't understand why, and even though she wasn't part of his former life, she now was, after all, his wife. Why couldn't he just tell her the truth? She wanted to know his past, and she also loved him with all her heart. Cherry wanted to be with him, there was no question about that, but why wasn't he honest with her?

Cherry then pushed Jackson away, and coldly said, "Then go and sleep in your own room!"

"Baby!" called Jackson, while he pulled Cherry back into his arms. He never wanted to leave her side.

"Let go of me!" shouted Cherry, as she fiercely refused him. She then said, "Since you can't forget Sally, you should go and see her!"

Jackson's face then fell. He couldn't understand how she could punish him to go to another woman when he loved her so much.

Cherry turned her head away and refused to look at him any longer. She then grabbed the quilt and wrapped herself tightly in it.

Jackson was somehow hurt when he saw Cherry's reaction, but he still recklessly held Cherry tight in his arms from behind.

There was no chance for Cherry to escape his embrace, and she had no other choice than to let him sleep with her in his arms.

In the morning, Cherry got up early and went downstairs to help Lily Wu prepare the breakfast. She liked cooking for Joe, and she enjoyed seeing her son eat the food that she had prepared for him with so much love and care.

When he was on his way downstairs, Joe saw that his Daddy was sitting on the couch in the living room. He lovely said, "Morning, Daddy!"

"You got up already? Let's go and have some breakfast, " answered Jackson, while he looked at his son. He then put down the newspaper that he was reading, and walked towards the staircase to wait for Joe to come down to him.

Joe held Daddy's hand after he arrived downstairs, and then they walked together to the kitchen.

"Morning, Mommy!" said Joe happily when he saw that Cherry was busy preparing the food in the kitchen.

"Joe, you're up! Come and sit here, breakfast is on it's way!" said Cherry, without paying any attention to Jackson.

Cherry laid down the food in front of Joe, and gently said, "Dig in, Mommy made this just for you! Try it and tell me if you like it."

"Wow! Thank you, Mommy!" said Joe with a big grin on his face as he started to eat the food that his mother had cooked for him.

Jackson was sad when he saw that Lily served his food instead of Cherry. Why did his son get to be served by Cherry, and he by Lily?

Cherry didn't look at Jackson once, and instead watched her son eating with her eyes filled with love.

"Mommy, you're awesome, this is amazing!" said Joe enthusiastically while he ate the breakfast his mother had prepared for him.

Cherry then stroked his hair, and fondly said, "Then have some more, you need to eat to grow up!"
