Ice and Fire novel Chapter 225

After Jackson and Cherry went into the mansion hand in hand, Cherry suddenly threw a joke tantrum, "My dear, I'm hungry now."

Jackson dotingly held her into his arms, and said, "I'll ask Lily to prepare lunch for us."

Just after he finished his words, Lily came out from the kitchen and said to them, "Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Cherry, lunch is already cooked."

"Really? I'll have it right now, thank you!" replied Cherry as she took Jackson's hand in hers and walked together with him towards the dining room.

Then they had their lunch together. Jackson didn't eat too much, but instead watched Cherry eat. He thought, 'She's had so little food these days, so she must be very hungry.'

As he wiped the few drops of soup off of her lips with a napkin, he said, "Baby, no matter what'll happen next time, you should never go on a hunger strike ever again! Got it?"

"I know. I didn't eat much these days, because I didn't feel like eating, " replied Cherry while she munching on her food.

When Jackson saw her childish behavior, he couldn't help but laugh and look at her.

After they finished lunch they sat on the sofa, and Cherry put her head on Jackson's shoulder.

"I want to go to work, " suddenly said Cherry, while she was thinking of something in her mind. She thought that she couldn't just stay at home like that, because she then would never have the chance to know what she wanted to know. Although Jackson decided not to tell her about anything, she decided that she would try her best to figure it out by herself, because she had a feeling that she was close to the truth, and that she would know them sooner or later from someone, somewhere.

"At the JS Group?" asked Jackson as he dropped his gaze on her.

"Yes! I feel great when I work with Selina, " replied Cherry.

Jackson thought, 'It'll be okay if she returns to work and stays with Selina. I believe in Selina because she's clever and sensible, and she's also capable of taking good care of her.'

He replied, "Okay, I'll arrange it for you." He then suddenly thought of something, and continued to say, "But you can't be Selina's secretary anymore."

"Why?" curiously asked Cherry. She felt very happy when she heard Jackson give his "okay" to her, but now she felt suddenly puzzled by his next sentence.

Jackson stared at her, and asked, "Why should my woman work as her secretary?"

Cherry understood why he said that. After all, because he was such a powerful man, how could he ever let his wife be Selina's secretary?
