Ice and Fire novel Chapter 410

When Cherry returned in the bedroom, she found Jackson sitting on the bed and reading a book. After he saw Cherry, Jackson put the book aside and stretched out his hands to her, waiting for Cherry to jump into his arms.

"Have you been waiting for me for a long time? Joe's just fallen asleep." asked Cherry, while she was nestling in Jackson's arms.

"It's okay. No matter how long you're gone, I'll always wait for you, " said Jackson, with love and tenderness reflected in his eyes.

"Well, can you give me some more time then? I'm going to take a shower, okay?" asked Cherry.

"Go right ahead, " replied Jackson.

When he saw that Cherry entered the bathroom, Jackson's heart filled with happiness, because he was satisfied with the life that he was spending with her. At that moment, he wasn't thinking about anyone or anything else except for his woman. He felt that nobody or nothing from the outside could ever darken or break his mood.

Lying in bed, Jackson held Cherry's soft body tight into his arms as he usually did.

"Jackson, " suddenly called Cherry.

"Eh? What's wrong?" replied Jackson.

"What are you going to do next?" asked Cherry.

Jackson knew what Cherry actually meant by asking him this question, because she wanted to know his plans for their future life. Since he had been discharged from the army, he had to make a plan for his future.

Jackson looked up at the ceiling and said, "I think I need to deal first with the things that Grandpa left in his wake. Although we aren't lack of any money, I might also go back into business in the future."

"Business? Do you want to set up a company?" quickly asked Cherry.

"I'm not sure yet, but if I really want to set up a company, me and Derek will have to spend a lot of time and energy on it, " said Jackson. He thought that if he really wanted to get back in business, he should come up with a very good plan beforehand. Holding the title of the Chu Family's heir, he could use that to connect with people from the commercial, military and political circles, but for now he just wanted to run a company and to work hard for it. He only wanted to live a quiet and peaceful life, accompanied with this beautiful woman and their lovely son.

Cherry nodded to him, and said, "I understand."

Jackson then affectionately said, "Honey, I want to ask you a question."

"Ask it, " tenderly answered Cherry.

Jackson then came closer to Cherry's ear, and said in a calm tone. "It's about Stephen. Is he your friend?"

Cherry didn't expect that Jackson would ask her a question about Stephen.

"Why are you asking me this?" inquired Cherry.
