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.

"But why did you do that to me? Don't you know how cruel that was? I don't even want to give birth to my child now that I am alone, because it will be too painful. Do you know how hard it is to go through pregnancy and childbirth without someone by your side?" Saying that, Cherry used her fist to hit Mond. She was so sad that she cried loudly.

Mond abruptly grabbed Cherry's arm and pulled her into his arms. He held her tightly for a long time to calm her down before he apologized, "I am really sorry. I didn't intend for this to happen."

"What's the point of apologizing? I will never forget what I saw and it's been on my mind constantly. I just want to forget it, " Cherry cried her heart out.

Mond could feel an impending emotional breakdown.

"I really am sorry. I don't know things would be like this. If I had known earlier, I certainly wouldn't have done it" confessed Mond. He also felt distressed. Especially when he saw the woman's tears and heard her sobs, his heart broke into pieces.

Cherry fiercely pushed Mond away and shouted at him, "Don't touch me! Get out of here!"

She then wrapped the blanket around herself and didn't let Mond come close to her.

Mond stood there in a daze. Looking at Cherry, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He felt insignificant to her because in her heart, Jackson was the only man for her. And it was just because of Jackson that she was grieving.

They kept silent all the way on the balcony, with no one saying any word. Mond kept his eyes on Cherry and saw that she finally calmed down.

After a long time, in a calm voice, Cherry said slowly, "Mond, you once saved me in the elevator and I don't want to hate you. But..." she paused for a second and then went on, "Don't touch the love between Jackson and me. Otherwise, I will certainly hate you."

Mond felt distressed after hearing Cherry's words. He could say nothing but think in his heart, 'Cherry, I really don't want to hurt you. But you have always broken my expectations and I could hardly not care for you. Tell me, what should I do? If you agree to stay with me, I will not mind that you've given birth for Jackson. As long as you are by my side, I will give up the revenge on Jackson and I'd like to give up everything. Cherry, I just want you to be with me.'

Cherry slowly rose up and intended to go back to her room.

But before she could take a step, she lost her balance and almost fell down on the floor.

At that moment, Mond, seeing that Cherry was about to fall down, hastily supported her and pulled her into his arms.

When he held a fainting Cherry in his arms, Mond suddenly thought about reluctantly letting her leave. It was such a close distance that he could feel her warmth and her breath. How he wished that time would stop and he could hold Cherry all the time. But she was Jackson's wife, his sister-in-law, how could he desire such a luxury?

Mond carried Carry to the room and put her on the bed, tucked her in and sat on the bedside, looking at her, blankly.

At that moment, Jean also walked into Cherry's room and saw that Mond was sitting on the bedside. She felt somehow happy and she found that Mond was not that cold and he had feelings.

Jean walked to Mond and in a low voice, said to him, "Let her sleep. Let's go out."

"Okay, " Mond agreed and then walked out the room with Jean.

They went to the living room and Jean stood beside Mond.

"If you've taken a liking to Cherry, you'd better give up. Don't even think about it. Jackson is the only man for her, " suddenly said Jean.

Mond turned to look at Jean surprised, but did not say a word.

Jean then continued, "Cherry will be happy only when she is with Jackson. We shouldn't destroy her happiness. I used to hurt her and all her childhood was spent under the shadow of hurt by my mother and I. It was not until she married Jackson that she finally got rid of the shadow, " Jean spoke her innermost thoughts. For now, she really hoped that Cherry could be happy. Perhaps she had experienced a lot and now she had realized something. Perhaps it was because of Joe, the lovely boy who had changed her worldview.

"It's really not easy for Cherry to be happy. She has suffered much in her previous life and perhaps God is fair and now she is finally happy. We all shouldn't destroy it, " Jean seriously looked into Mond's eyes and said, "You should know that it was impossible for Jackson to sleep with Sally.

Everything was just Sally's own wishful thinking. Cherry is sad not because she doesn't believe in Jackson. She must still trust Jackson in her heart, but she also believed what she had seen and that's why it is so painful."
