Ice and Fire novel Chapter 469

"Okay. Let Derek drive you home, " said Jackson.

"Yes, I'll do that!" happily responded Derek. He then looked at Amy, saying, "Let's go."

After they left the Chu house and got into the car, Amy saw that Derek was not in a good mood, so she gingerly asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just worried about Jackson. This wasn't his fault at all, " complained Derek, helplessly.

Amy didn't know what exactly had happened to Jackson and Cherry, so she just spoke her mind, "It seems that it is not as easy as we ordinary people expect, to live in a wealthy and influential clan. In others' eyes, Mr. Jackson is living a glorious life and he never needs to worry about anything. Actually, since I've known him, I find that that he is just like our common people who also feels pains and joys like every one of us does."

"You're right, " agreed Derek.

"I do think they are a happy family. Especially since they have Joe, what a lovely and smart boy! They should cherish each other and live happily forever!" said Amy.

"But things usually happen because of the people in their social lives. Especially the Chu family. It enjoys great fame in the city and no wonder troublesome things happen from time to time, " said Derek sadly.

"I know. But I feel that Mr. Jackson is a capable man, who can handle it. If anyone could resolve the situation, it would be him, " said Amy confidently.

"But there are always some tough guys that are hard to deal with, " said Derek. What could Jackson do with people like Mond? Stephen previously also had been against Jackson, but Jackson didn't worry about it at all. However, Mond was different. He was an evil person with malicious heart and his way of doing things was beyond imagination of Jackson and Derek.

Amy didn't say another word, but nodded lightly.

In Mond's villa, Cherry sat in the chaise lounge on the balcony, quietly looking at the starry sky, unwilling to go back to her room.

When Mond went down from the second floor, he saw that Cherry was still on the balcony. Worrying that she would be cold, he took the blanket from the sofa and went towards the balcony.

Mond squatted beside Cherry and gently covered her body with the blanket.

"Why not go back to the room? It's a little cold outside, " said Mond worriedly. After all, she was pregnant and she should take better care of herself. Additionally, she was weak and shouldn't catch a cold.

"If I can feel cold, it means that I still have consciousness, " indifferently replied Cherry. She finally decided to opened her mouth to speak, even if it was to Mond. She didn't want to isolate herself.

Hearing Cherry's words, Mond felt a little distressed. She was probably still thinking about Jackson.

"Do you miss him?" asked Mond bluntly.

When she heard what Mond asked, Cherry suddenly turned to stare at him. Not answering his question, she scolded him, "You knew that Sally was with him, why did you ask me to go there?"

Tears flowed from her eyes as she asked.

Seeing Cherry's tears, Mond was suddenly bemused, not knowing what to say.

"Well, I..." Mond had no idea how to reply to Cherry. He had not expected this. He had just wanted to create a rift between Cherry and Jackson so that she would divorce him. What he wanted was to break Jackson's family up because he hated seeing him so happy. But he had not expected Cherry to be pregnant and this news had totally changed the situation.

"If I hadn't know about it, I would be lying on my bed right now. Previously, I had believed that Jackson loved only me and I would hide myself in his warm arms to see my son laughing happily in front of us. I even felt that I was the happiest woman in the world, " Cherry narrated her illusion, while staring at Mond fiercely.
