Ice and Fire novel Chapter 366

Jackson immediately replied, "No, no! Grandpa, please let me handle everything. I know the best, and please trust me. I promise you that I will never meet Sally again." He didn't want anything unexpected to happen, because if Andrew also meddled in his affairs, then things would only get worse. Mond had already been too big of a headache for him, and he didn't want to be worried about more things than necessary.

Instead of replying to Jackson's words of promise, Andrew sighed, and ruefully said, "If I hadn't agreed with you to save Sally many years ago, we wouldn't have been in this terrible situation now, the people of the An Family wouldn't have been implicated, and Mond's matter wouldn't have been exposed."

Hearing Andrew's scolding words, Jackson just lowered his head in silence.

He knew better than anyone else what had happened years ago. He had been too young and restless at that time, so he had decided to protect Sally, despite the objections that he got from his friends and family. He had even stood up to Andrew to protect her, and in the end, Andrew had agreed to help him as he wished. He had no way of knowing that things would turn out like they did in present times, and he felt that the current situation was complex and difficult to solve.

Jackson didn't say a word for quite a long time.

Andrew steadily stood up, but before he left, he said to his grandson, "Jackson, you should never let Cherry down. Don't be like your father, and be careful to protect Cherry and Joe, because they are the only family that you can rely on for the rest of your life."

After he said this, he turned around and left.

As Jackson watched him leave, he said to himself, 'Grandpa, don't worry, I will protect Cherry and Joe. They are the most important people for me, and I'll never abandon them.'

When he returned to the bedroom, he found Cherry tidying up the wardrobe. His heart wanted him to step towards her, to hold her from her back and feel her warmth and sweet scent, but his mind told him that he should ask her about certain problems first.

He decided that it would be best to sit down on a chair and to talk with his wife about what had happened.

Cherry knew that Jackson was near her, because she saw him when he came in, but she was unwilling to talk to him first. She was still upset because of what had happened in the coffee shop earlier in the afternoon.

Jackson calmly asked her, "What happened at home in the afternoon? Why was our Grandpa sent to the hospital?" He already knew that the event was somehow related to his son, but he wanted to know how everything happened in detail.

Cherry casually replied to him, "You've already know what happened, so why are you asking me again about it?" She didn't turn her head to look at Jackson, not even for a moment, and instead she pretended that she was busy cleaning her wardrobe.
