"Okay, then what about this house?" asked Cherry.
"Let's keep it, and we can come back here from time to time. I bought it for you in the first place, so I'll never sell it, " said Jackson.
Cherry was a little moved by his words, and as she leaned on his chest, she looked up at her husband and said, "Thank you, Jackson."
Lowering his head, Jackson looked into Cherry's eyes, which were very beautiful, and got lost in them.
"Silly girl, you don't have to thank me for anything. You're my girl, and my greatest treasure!" said Jackson, and as he gently stroked Cherry's hair, love and tenderness clearly reflected in his eyes.
"Me too, my dear, thank you for loving me, " replied Cherry, who knew deep inside that she would love no one else except Jackson for her whole life.
With her face against Jackson's chest, Cherry felt very warm in his arms. 'It's the warmest place in the world, ' thought Cherry.
However, something suddenly occurred to Cherry, and she looked up at Jackson and said, "Oh, Selina told me today that there'll be a party next week. Are we going?"
As he looked at Cherry, Jackson nodded, and said, "Yes, it's a big party, and I need you to go there with me."
Cherry nodded and said nothing.
"I've never taken you to any big parties since you came back, so I hope that you can go with me this time. It won't last long, and if you feel tired, we can always come back home earlier, " said Jackson. He somehow understood that Cherry didn't want to attend the party at all, because she had always hated being surrounded by people, and that noisy party was the perfect example.
"Okay, I'll go with you. Besides, Selina and Derek are going too, so at least I won't be surrounded by a group of strangers. I'll feel a lot less awkward with them around me, " said Cherry while smiling.
"Okay, then I'll take you to buy some evening dresses some day, " gently said Jackson. He truly believed that his girl would be the most beautiful woman at the party.
"No, it's alright. Are you forgetting that we bought some dresses last time we went shopping? I haven't even worn some of them, " said Cherry.
"Those are out of date! We'll buy some new ones this time, and you don't have to save money for me, never! Don't you know by now that your husband has nothing but money?" said Jackson.
After she saw his expression there was no way that Cherry could refuse him any longer, so she finally nodded and agreed with him.
Jackson suddenly looked at Cherry seriously, and said, "Baby, you're my girl, and you'll live a better life than anyone else in the world! I'll give you everything that I have and satisfy all your needs, and I'll never let anyone hurt you!"
"Jackson, I'm more than satisfied with the life I'm living now, " said Cherry. She already had everything that she wanted, and she also felt content.
