Ice and Fire novel Chapter 367

She said, "I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'll go and sleep with Joe now, and I think you should also go to bed early." She believed that if they continued to talk they would end up arguing with each other and fighting. She knew what kind of person Jackson was, and to avoid quarrelling with him, she had to find an excuse to sleep with Joe tonight, to let Jackson clam down by himself. It was better to wait for his anger to pass and to talk again with each other a few days later.

She then took her clothes and intended to leave the room.

When Jackson saw that she was going to leave, he tightly seized her arm and directly threw her on the bed.

Cherry fell onto the bed, but before she could figure out what had happened, Jackson had already moved close to her.

"What're you doing?" asked Cherry. She was suddenly alert, clutching her clothes tightly to her chest and looking into his eyes.

Jackson gradually approached her. He lifted her chin with his hand, and ordered her, "Cherry Shen, always keep in mind that you are mine! You're my wife!"

After she heard his demand, she answered, "I always keep that in mind. Jackson, I can assure you that I've never cheated on you since we got married, so your warning is useless! You don't need to tell me this! All you need to do is to mind your own business!"

"I'm minding my own business right now!" said Jackson arrogantly. He was even more aroused to fight with her whenever she resisted him.

Cherry retorted, "I don't need you to take care of me!" She thought that Jackson had gone mad for the moment.

"You're my woman, so of course that I have to take care of you!" Jackson was very close to Cherry, and as he stared at her, she could feel his warm breath blowing against her cheeks.

"Then why did you meet with another woman? You knew that I hated Sally, and that if you met with her I would certainly be angry. Why did you meet her anyway?" asked Cherry, irate.

Looking at Cherry and seeing how distressed she was, Jackson believed that she must care about him very much, and he felt very happy because of that.

"Baby, please, I'm so sorry! I'll never see her again!" promised Jackson. He thought to himself, 'Only I'm to blame for what happened today. Seeing Sally was a mistake, and so was not telling Cherry immediately. Because she and Joe were in the amusement park at that time, I thought that there was no need to tell her about this; oh, I would have never expected that she would show up there and see me with Sally.'

At that moment, Cherry was the one who was in a stronger position, so she pushed Jackson away from her and got out of the bed. After she briefly fixed her dress, she said, "We'll talk about this after you show me how you keep your promise."

She then hastily left the bedroom.
