Ice and Fire novel Chapter 22

Before Cherry could respond, Jackson had already carried her on his arms and walked towards the bathroom.

At the shopping mall, Cherry was in such a good mood that she held Jackson's arm. They went window-shopping. She tried on every dress she liked and bought everything that fit her. Anyhow, Jackson was paying and she did not have to care about money.

Cherry was busy trying on various items she liked, but Jackson was feeling exhausted. Looking at her happy face, he also felt happy, even though he had a few complaints. He thought it was a happy thing to go shopping with Cherry and seeing her smile.

A thought occurred to him. He hoped that his love would help Cherry forget all the previous pain in her life, and allow her to live a happy life with him from now on.

With both hands holding shopping bags, Jackson, arm linked with Cherry's, walked out of the shopping mall.

When Jackson and Cherry passed by Jade, they did not notice her at all.

But Jade saw them. She kept a close watch on them, until they faded into the distance.

"Jade, isn't that girl your younger daughter? I heard she married into the Chu family. Look how happy they are! Her husband is also very handsome and he is said to be a capable man," exclaimed one of rich ladies beside Jade.

"Exactly. Look how much stuff they have bought. Her husband is so good to her," added another rich lady.

"You are right. Cherry is very lucky. Chu family's power is well-known in elite circles. And Jackson is treating Cherry so well, Cherry must be loved dearly in the Chu family.

"I agree."

Hearing the ladies' chatting, Jade's heart filled with rage. How could Cherry live so happily? How could a slut like her have the pedigree to live like an elite? Only Jean deserved such a high life. And Cherry? No way!

Jade was so angry that she excused herself saying she was not feeling good. She returned home.

The moment she reached home, she asked Jean, who was sleeping, to get up. She wanted to discuss Jean's wedding plans. Holding her daughter's hands, she and Jean sat on the sofa in the living room.

"Jean, I think your wedding with John should be held as soon as possible," said Jade, in a huff. "You should have seen Cherry shopping with Jackson today and the smile on that slut's face. Jackson even bought her lots of stuff. All my friends said that she was lucky and happy to have such an outstanding husband. I was so furious that I really wanted to slap Cherry. I don't understand why someone would love that bitch."
