Ice and Fire novel Chapter 361

Joe looked up at his mother's face and understood what she was feeling at that moment. The boy agreed with a nod and said,"Okay."

Before they left, Joe glanced at Mond and thought to himself, 'So this is Mond, the CEO of ZM Group. He is the same age as Daddy and he protected my Mommy from that angry woman. He looks lonely. What has he been through?'

When Mond saw that Cherry and her son had left, he said to Jackson,"Jackson, don't think that you've won. This is not yet over."

Then he left in a hurry without hearing Jackson's answer.

Jackson saw that Mond was in a hurry and he knew that Mond was going to try and catch up with Cherry and Joe.

Watching Mond leave, Sally angrily said,"Fool! Mond must be insane! He must have fallen in love with Cherry, that bitch!"

Jackson, not liking what Sally called her wife, said,"Sally! Watch your mouth!" He thought to himself, 'How dared she curse my wife in front of me! She totally disrespected me!' Jackson thought that Sally was so different from Cherry. She had no breeding. It seemed that nothing pleasant came out of this woman's mouth.

Sally noticed that Jackson was angry for what she had just said. She needed to help him cool down and forget what she said against her wife. Sally approached Jackson, held his arm and gently said,"Jackson, please don't be mad at me. What happened today was just an accident. I..."

Before she could finish what she wanted to say, Jackson shook her hand off. He slowly walked back to his seat and sat down. His eyes looked glassy, he stared straight ahead and was deep in thought.

Jackson was annoyed and worried at the same time. Things that he dreaded had finally happened. What should he do? What actions must he take to correct today's mistake? What should he do in the future? His main problem now was Cherry and Mond. What actions must he take that would inflict the smallest pain towards these two people?

Mond walked as fast as he could and he was to be able to catch up with Cherry and her son. Mond didn't have to walk that far since the mother and son walked a bit more slowly than before. Cherry's pace showed that she was deep in thought and was not really present at the moment. He reached out for her arm to stop her from walking.

"Cherry!' shouted Mond. Cherry was surprised, stopped walking and stood still. She turned her head and saw Mond standing beside her. Mond was thankful that he caught up with her, he breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, he was trying to control his emotion.

Cherry shifted her gaze away from Mond. She didn't want to see him.

Joe was holding his mother's hand. The boy turned around when he felt her mom stopped walking. He looked at the guy in front of him and studied him carefully.

Mond's full attention was on Cherry. He had forgotten about the boy who was holding her hand. He didn't notice Joe was looking at him. Mond asked,"Why did you not accept my apology?"
