Chapter 35 Let Me Take You Away (Part Two)

"Cherry, do you think you can escape from my control?" Jackson asked.

"What you think? I believe the answer in your heart is more accurate than mine, isn't it?" Cherry said in

reply.

Cherry continued to speak, peacefully, "I have never thought about running away. What I want is just to

find my freedom. Jackson, isn't it good for us to have our own lives?"

Before Jackson could answer, the door of the hotel room was pushed open. Jackson realized that he

had not locked the door.

Sally stood beside the door, and saw Jackson and Cherry staring at each other. The expression on

their faces revealed what they were talking about.

"Jackson, " Sally whispered and walked towards Jackson.

Snuggling up to Jackson, Sally tried to narrow the gap between Jackson and her.

This scene was highly offensive to Cherry's eyes. After all, her husband was hugging another woman

right in front of her.

Looking at Cherry's expression, Jackson wanted to push Sally away. However, he felt Sally pulling him

in so tightly, that he couldn't move at all.

Sally turned her attention to Cherry, "Cherry, so you are Jackson's wife in name, right? Don't you know

I am the one Jackson actually loves?"

Cherry just stood there, keeping her body still.

Bowing his head, Jackson looked down at Sally in his arms and said in surprise, "Sally!"

Though Jackson wanted to stop her, he didn't know what to tell her. He was afraid that he would say

something that could hurt Sally, making her do something really insane.

After a while, Cherry took a deep breath, struggled to put back a smile on her face, and said to Sally, "I

know. Your darling always call out your name when he is dreaming at night. How could I not know that

he loves you?"

"You!" Jackson was again surprised. Staring at Cherry, he could not say a word. There appeared to be Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

something stuck in his throat. When did he call out Sally's name in his dreams?"

"So what? Do you want me to say it again? You sleep with one woman, but call the other woman's

name." Cherry looked at Jackson, and her heart already felt hard.

Sally's face turned gray immediately. Cherry's meaning was obvious. She had just emphasized that the

one Jackson slept with was her. As for Sally, she knew better than anyone else that her relationship

with Jackson could not be innocent anymore.

Stepping away from Jackson, Sally took two quick strides forward. Standing in front of Cherry, Sally

unexpectedly slapped her on the face.

Crack! The room echoed with the cracking sound of the slap.

Cherry felt sudden pain on her face. Sally had slapped her before she could even react.

Jackson did not expect Sally would do that. He stepped forward, pulled Sally away and looked at her.

He screamed angrily, "What are you doing?"

Ignoring Jackson's anger, Sally continued, "What? Do you feel her suffering? We could have gotten

married but for her. The one you should have married is me."

Sally said, tears rolling down her face, while her gaze remained on Jackson.

Jackson did not know how to deal with the situation. His heart softened again. Holding Jackson's waist,

Sally buried her head into his chest and said bitterly, "She is a bad person, a bad person. It is she who

destroyed our happiness."

Jackson did not say a word.

Cherry's sight dimmed as her eyes filled with tears. It was said that details revealed one's heart. At this

key moment, the person Jackson cared most about was still the one in his arms.

Time went by slowly. Standing near the door, Stephen looked at these three people with anger in his

heart. But when he turned his gaze to Cherry, he showed his incomparable concern, instead.

Stephen's entry broke the silence.

He stepped up to Cherry, holding her in his arms to comfort her. Cherry did not resist.

Seeing Stephen hug Cherry, Jackson got angry, "Stephen, release her."

"What? Do you want to keep one eye on the bowl and the other on the pan?" Stephen did not want to

release Cherry at all.

"Stephen, do not test my limits, " Jackson warned him.

Stephen changed his tone, as well, and retorted, "Jackson, how about my limits? Since you can't

protect her, I will do the job."

"No way, " Jackson said, bluntly.

Paying no attention to Jackson's words, Stephen said to Sally, "Sally, you have been hiding for so

many years. Are you sure you are okay now? If you dare touch Cherry again, I will see to it that you

spend the rest of your life in a military prison."

"Stephen An!" Jackson shouted loudly, unable to repress his anger anymore.

Stephen continued his attack, "What? Do you feel hurt? If you want to protect her well and keep her

from suffering, then do that forever. Be careful that I would do something one day and surprise you. By

then, you'll be too late."

With these words, Stephen said to Cherry, "Let's go."

Cherry nodded, paying no attention to Jackson. Her heart felt completely dead at this moment.

Stephen drove Cherry home as they were no longer in the mood for the party.
