Ice and Fire novel Chapter 312

"Well, thank you so much, for saving me, " embarrassedly said Cherry. She then thought, 'I'm not acquainted with Mond at all, how could I stay in his arms? How could we act so intimately? I'm Jackson's wife. I need to behave with my self-discipline.'

"Never mind. As long as you're okay, it's fine, " said Mond.

Cherry thought for some time, and then asked, "Have you been waiting for me for a long time? Did you find out that I was trapped in the elevator because I never showed up to meet with you? That's why you came here and saved me, right?"

Cherry thought in her mind that this was what had happened. Mond had asked her to come there and meet with him in an hour. Since she hadn't shown up in the given time limit, he had went out to look for her.

But Mond didn't answer her.

At that moment, one of the maintenance personnel came out with Cherry's phone and her bag in his hand. He then looked at her, and asked, "Miss, are these your belongings?"

Cherry then walked towards him and took her bag and phone. She said, "Yes, they are. Thanks a lot!"

"It's alright. Do you live here? The elevator won't be running until later this evening, so you'll have to take the stairs now or come back tonight, " said the maintenance man.

Cherry nodded, and said, "Okay."

After she saw that the maintenance personnel walked into the building, Cherry said to Mond, "What should we do? We can't go upstairs now."

Mond looked at Cherry, and calmly said, "You'd better go back and rest; I'll call you some other time."

After she heard him, Cherry firmly shook her head. She tried to be brave, and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."

In Mond's view, Cherry flaunted her superiority because of her love to Jackson. The reason why she had come there in the first place, was that she wanted to learn something about Jackson from him. Although she had been trapped in the elevator for such a long time that her face had become dead-pale, she still said that she was okay. She was very good at pretending.

Mond then looked at Cherry, and in an extremely cold tone, said to her, "Don't you even care about your own life for Jackson?"

After Mond finished his words, Cherry said, "He's my husband!"

Cherry's firm eyes made Mond feel very angry in his heart. He thought, 'Husband? She really loves Jackson! She still sincerely calls him as her 'husband' even though he beats her! What a stupid woman!'

"But what if I don't want to tell you anything today?" said Mond. He had the initiative in his grasp; he could do whatever he wanted to.

"You..." Cherry suddenly didn't know what to say anymore. Was he playing with her?
