Chapter 29 Divorce Agreement (Part Two)

"Come on, Cherry! I know I have been ignoring you these days. Could you please give me some time?

I can assure you that I'll handle this thing. Now, let's go upstairs, okay? It's ten o'clock and let's go and

rest," Jackson said. Then he pulled Cherry by her arm and wanted to go upstairs.

"Jackson!" Cherry shouted. She stood up but she had no intention to go upstairs.

Jackson helplessly looked at Cherry and did not know what he should do to make her happy.

"Will you go to see Sally He after I fall asleep?" Cherry looked into Jackson's eyes and asked.

Jackson had to admit that it was exactly what he wanted to do. He wanted to leave after Cherry had

fallen asleep. Actually, he had meant to leave after he had accompanied Cherry for a while. When he

was not around, Sally He might make trouble.

Cherry looked at the silent Jackson and thought she had guessed right.

Cherry helplessly laughed, looked at Jackson and said,"Jackson, you really keep one eye on the bowl

and the other on the pan. Do you want me to wait for you when you are with the other woman?"

Jackson looked at Cherry and his heart ached. It was his fault that he had not taken good care of her.

But he had no other choice. If Cherry gave him more time, he would definitely make arrangements for

Sally He. After that, he would spend more time with Cherry and take good care of her.

Before Jackson could answer, Cherry lowered her head, took a document and handed it to Jackson,

saying,"This is our divorce agreement. I've signed it, and you should sign it when you have the time."

It felt like she had dropped a bomb. Jackson thought he had misheard her.

"What did you say?" Jackson couldn't believe what he had just heard, so he asked again. He thought to

himself, 'What? Cherry wants to divorce me? I've never wanted to divorce her. Never!'

"Can't you see the words on it? This is a divorce agreement." said Cherry, calmly. She appeared

dispassionate about it. Then she continued,"Since you love that other woman, I can help you and let

you be with her. Haven't you waited for her for so many years? Now that she has been back, shouldn't Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

we divorce so that you can marry her?"

"Cherry Shen!" Jackson stared at Cherry and his look, as usual, was icy-cold. He was dissatisfied with

what Cherry had just said.

Cherry ignored his expression and continued,"Jackson, though we don't love each other, I really thank

you for having accompanied me all these days. I know myself clearly. Since Sally He has come back,

it's time for me to leave."

When Cherry said this, her heart ached. Only she knew that she did not want to leave Jackson and

their home. She wondered, 'Where could I go after I leave here? I can't go back to the Shen household,

so where can I go?'

Jackson furiously snatched the divorce agreement, ripped it apart and threw it on the ground. He

glowered at Cherry and yelled,"Cherry Shen! Do you think it is that easy to divorce me, a military

personnel? You can't divorce me without my consent!"

Seeing Jackson's reaction, Cherry couldn't control her emotions. So she went one step further,

approached Jackson and said,"Jackson, can't you divorce me by using your considerable power and

influence?"

"Don't push my limits!" Jackson was serious. He would never divorce this woman.

"Haha! Your limits?" Cherry asked with a wry smile,"Aren't you tired? Even if you are not, I'm quite tired,

Jackson."

Jackson did not want to argue with Cherry, nor did he want to be angry at her. He really cherished her,

so how could he be angry at her?

"Come on! Let me take you to the bedroom so that we could rest." Then Jackson pulled Cherry and

went upstairs.

This time, Cherry did not resist him and instead followed him upstairs.

Jackson tucked in Cherry. He knelt besides the bed and tightly clutched Cherry's hand with scald. His

heart ached. He lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand. His heart was torn apart.

"Jackson Chu," Cherry called his full name but her voice was gentle.

"Baby, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault." Jackson became gentle, too. He had promised to protect this

woman, but what he had done was actually hurting her.

Cherry had wanted to ask about Sally He, but looking at Jackson, she resisted the urge.

"Can you stay here tonight?" Cherry asked. She looked into Jackson's eyes and waited for his answer.

Jackson looked into Cherry's eyes, pulled out his hand, gently touched her cheek and finally said,"You

shall sleep."

Hearing Jackson's words, Cherry knew that he would not stay with her.

Cherry closed her eyes to prevent her tears from falling down. She turned her head and did not look at

Jackson anymore.
