Ice and Fire novel Chapter 35

"Cherry, do you think you can escape from my control?" Jackson asked.

"What you think? I believe the answer in your heart is more accurate than mine, isn't it?" Cherry said in reply.

Cherry continued to speak, peacefully, "I have never thought about running away. What I want is just to find my freedom. Jackson, isn't it good for us to have our own lives?"

Before Jackson could answer, the door of the hotel room was pushed open. Jackson realized that he had not locked the door.

Sally stood beside the door, and saw Jackson and Cherry staring at each other. The expression on their faces revealed what they were talking about.

"Jackson, " Sally whispered and walked towards Jackson.

Snuggling up to Jackson, Sally tried to narrow the gap between Jackson and her.

This scene was highly offensive to Cherry's eyes. After all, her husband was hugging another woman right in front of her.

Looking at Cherry's expression, Jackson wanted to push Sally away. However, he felt Sally pulling him in so tightly, that he couldn't move at all.

Sally turned her attention to Cherry, "Cherry, so you are Jackson's wife in name, right? Don't you know I am the one Jackson actually loves?"

Cherry just stood there, keeping her body still.

Bowing his head, Jackson looked down at Sally in his arms and said in surprise, "Sally!"

Though Jackson wanted to stop her, he didn't know what to tell her. He was afraid that he would say something that could hurt Sally, making her do something really insane.

After a while, Cherry took a deep breath, struggled to put back a smile on her face, and said to Sally, "I know. Your darling always call out your name when he is dreaming at night. How could I not know that he loves you?"

"You!" Jackson was again surprised. Staring at Cherry, he could not say a word. There appeared to be something stuck in his throat. When did he call out Sally's name in his dreams?"

"So what? Do you want me to say it again? You sleep with one woman, but call the other woman's name." Cherry looked at Jackson, and her heart already felt hard.

Sally's face turned gray immediately. Cherry's meaning was obvious. She had just emphasized that the one Jackson slept with was her. As for Sally, she knew better than anyone else that her relationship with Jackson could not be innocent anymore.

Stepping away from Jackson, Sally took two quick strides forward. Standing in front of Cherry, Sally unexpectedly slapped her on the face.

Crack! The room echoed with the cracking sound of the slap.

Cherry felt sudden pain on her face. Sally had slapped her before she could even react.
