Ice and Fire novel Chapter 46

In the morning, Cherry felt the warm body beside her leave the bed. She opened her eyes and saw Jackson dressing, and then she looked at the clock on the wall and found that it was only six o'clock.

"Why did you get up so early? Are you going back to the camp?" said Cherry.

Jackson saw Cherry wake up, and while he bent over and kissed her, he said, "Well, I've been quite busy recently, and I have to go back to the barracks to deal with some work. You can sleep a little longer."

"Did coming back yesterday influence any of your work?" asked Cherry suddenly, worried.

Jackson fondly stroked her hair, and said, "No, and don't think too much about it. Sleep a little while longer. I've left a bank card on the table for you, you can buy whatever you like with the money in the account."

Cherry nodded, and then gently closed her eyes.

After that, Jackson got up and left.

It was already at noon time when Cherry opened her eyes again. She sat up and stretched, and as she gently uncovered the quilt, she found Jackson's traces from the previous night. She put on her pajamas with a wry smile, and then walked into the bathroom.

After she washed her face and brushed her teeth, Cherry had a simple breakfast, and planned to visit Andrew at the military's compound. They had the responsibility to look after their grandfather, but now that Jackson was so hard-pressed, the responsibility was passed onto her.

Before she went to the residential compound, Cherry went to a supermarket and bought a lot of fruit. Just before she arrived the Chu clan house, she saw the butler cleaning at the door.

When the butler saw Cherry coming, he smiled, and hastened to greet her. "Mrs. Cherry, how are you doing?" he said.

"I'm good. How are you?" cheerfully replied Cherry. When people are in good moods, they often treat others nicely.

"Where's grandpa?"

The butler respectfully replied, "He is in the living room with your father."

"My father?" Cherry then suddenly stopped, because she hadn't heard a word from her father in a long time. It sounded strange for her to hear that he was there, and wondered if she should call the man who had hurt her father, or by his name, Harrison?

"Yes, Mr. Andrew especially invited him here to have a talk. After all, we are relatives by marriage, and the relationships between the two clans are even closer, since your sister has just married Mr. John, " said the butler, with a smile on his face.

Cherry didn't think that was the case, and wondered what the hell Harrison actually wanted. Did he want to take advantage of the Chu clan? He had always been in the commercial circles, but when had he become interested in the military circles as well?

"I'll go inside then, " and with these words, Cherry walked straight into the house.

When she entered the living room, she saw Andrew and Harrison chatting together. She put on a big smile on her face and then walked up to them.
