Ice and Fire novel Chapter 209

Jackson didn't pay too much attention to Joe, who was sitting beside him. The only thing that he wanted to know was where had Cherry gone to.

After he arrived in the backyard, Jackson suddenly stopped when he saw that both Lily's and Bill's bedroom lights were still on.

'What's the hell is going on here?' wondered Jackson in his mind.

He then directly walked to Bill's bedroom and knocked on the door.

Bill opened the door, and saw Jackson standing in the doorway with the little master behind him.

Bill immediately greeted him, "Master!"

"How can you be at home?" asked Jackson, in a very inquiring manner.

Bill was somehow confused with what Jackson had just asked him. After all, he was supposed to be at home at that hour.

At that moment, Lily, who was living next to Bill, opened her door, and walked out after she heard the noise coming from outside.

Seeing that Jackson and Bill were standing opposite to each other, she asked puzzled, "Mr. Jackson, what happened?"

Jackson didn't pay too much attention to Lily's words. He kept his eyes on Bill, and asked, "Where did Cherry go?"

Bill was shocked by his question, and didn't know how to answer it. He carefully thought about it, and then obediently replied, "Isn't, isn't Mrs. Cherry in the house?"

"Her car is also missing, " added Jackson. His expression showed that he was already boiling with fury.

Bill and Lily were very surprised to find out that Cherry had left.

As he looked at Jackson's angry, frowning face, Bill couldn't help but tremble, and said, "I don't know. In the afternoon, Mrs. Cherry said that she wanted to go back to apartment to have a look around the place, so I obeyed her command and took her there."

"What did she do inside the apartment?" asked Jackson seriously, with his eyes sharply fixed on Bill's face.

"It seemed to me that she missed the old days. She did nothing in the apartment other than to take your wedding photo from the bedside table when I told her that it was getting late, " said Bill. He hadn't noticed anything weird about her at all.

'The photo?' Jackson thought for a while, but then his expression instantly changed. He asked, "In the bedroom?"

Bill nodded, and said, "Yes, in the one you've lived before."

All of a sudden, Jackson got anxious. He grabbed Bill's pajama lapels, and asked, "Why did you take her back?"

"It was, it was Mrs. Cherry who asked me to drive her there. I don't know, I don't know!" said Bill, too afraid by then to give him an intelligible reply.

Jackson then fiercely pushed Bill away, turned around, and left with his heart filled with fury. 'Cherry, what did you find out? Where are you now? Do you want to run away from me again? Or do you think that the life I provided for you has too much freedom in it?'

Joe didn't leave with his Daddy. Instead, he just quietly stood in the yard, saw him call someone, get in his car and then drive away. He was lost in his thought about his Mommy, and there was no doubt that his Daddy had gone out to look for Mommy. But what about his Mommy? Where had she gone to? Had something already happened to her?

Joe then ran back to the villa as soon as possible, and he used the phone to dial his Mommy's mobile, but no one answered it.
