Chapter 55 An Encounter In The Restaurant

When morning came, a ray of sunshine shone into the room while the two people were still asleep in

the bed.

Jackson never let the woman out of his arms, and he hugged her even when they were asleep.

Jackson gradually woke up, and when he saw that the woman under him was still asleep, he gently

moved not to wake her up, with his hands still around her. He felt a sense of accomplishment when he

saw the love marks on her body made by him in the night, and he knew that he would be crazy for

Cherry all of his life.

She felt him moving around her and also woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Jackson

looking at her.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Don't you know who I am?" asked Cherry.

"Can't I just look at you?" Jackson's voice was very gentle, the only way that he would treat her.

Cherry looked at Jackson and then looked sideways, and said, "Boring!"

"How? Are you already fed up with me?" he asked. When he saw Cherry's action, Jackson was a little

disappointed at her.

"No, but I just get a strange feeling when you stare at me like that, " replied Cherry.

Jackson then slightly smiled and held Cherry tight in his arms.

They got out of bed, and had a quick and simple breakfast. After they finished eating, Jackson touched

Cherry's hair in a spoiled manner, and said, "What do you want to do today? I'll accompany you."

When she heard him, Cherry was happy that he finally had time to spend with her.

She thought for a while, and replied, "How about we go shopping first and then go watch a movie?"

Jackson thought that Cherry would suggest something unusual and bizarre, and couldn't help but laugh

when he heard her words.

Cherry was a little embarrassed and annoyed when she saw him laughing, and asked, "Why are you

laughing? If you don't like my plan, then I'll ask Emily to keep me company."

When he saw her so irritated, Jackson quickly tried to coax Cherry, and said, "No, no, I love it! How

could I not?"

"Okay. Let's get dressed and go, " replied Cherry.

"As you say!"

Jackson accompanied Cherry to the shopping mall and then watched a movie with her. The day

passed quickly, but after they got back home, Jackson's cell phone rang again.

He answered it and then hung up the call after he said a couple of words.

Cherry vaguely heard that Jackson said that he would go out, and asked, "Who was on the phone?"

"It was Derek. He said some of our friends are having dinner together and invited me to join them, "

answered Jackson.

"Oh, okay, then go!" casually answered Cherry, since she knew that she had already taken up most of

his time today, and couldn't comment that Derek had asked him out with the boys.

Jackson walked up to Cherry and held her arm, and said, "Are you okay to stay at home all by

yourself?"

"Why not? When you're working at the base, I'm always home alone, " she said. Cherry looked at

Jackson, and continued, "Go now, you've spent the whole day with me. Since they have already invited

you, you should definitely go."

As he looked at the gentle Cherry in front of him, Jackson was really happy. He nodded, and then

turned around to leave out the door.

Jackson drove all the way to the place told by Derek, and as he looked at the luxurious and hidden

restaurant, Jackson thought in his mind, "These buddies are really good at finding nice places to eat."

He got out of his car and then went into the restaurant, but just when he was about to ask one of the

waiters for Room 302, he saw Jean.

Jean also saw Jackson, and she was surprised that she met Jackson there. She thought that it actually

was a god-given opportunity, and that she definitely couldn't let it pass.

Jean was going to have dinner with an aristocratic daughter here, but when she saw Jackson, she

hastily said a few words to the woman, and then walked up to him.

When he saw Jean coming towards him, Jackson knew that she wanted to talk to him.

When Jean was next to him, Jackson didn't ask the waiter anymore.

Jean approached Jackson with a charming attitude, and asked, "Oh, is my brother-in-law also here for

dinner?"

Jackson coldly looked at Jean in front of him, and answered, "Do you really have to ask when you

already know?"

Jean smiled obsequiously, but she didn't get Jackson's attention. "I'm just a little surprised to see you

here, " she said.

When she saw that Jackson was looking away from her instead of focusing on her, Jean was a little

angry in her mind. Then she looked around her, and saw that there was no one else.

"Are you here alone? "Where's Cherry, the bit..." but before she finished her sentence, she saw

Jackson's killing gaze and immediately changed her words. "Oh, no, why isn't Cherry together with Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

you?"

Jackson furiously replied, "Jean, that's really none of your business."

She pretended to be innocent, and while she looked at Jackson, she said, "Oh, come on, brother-in-

law, don't be so irritated! I'm John's wife and Cherry's sister, and we're a family. Why are you so

aggressive for nothing?"

Jean's words were equal to nonsense to Jackson. He didn't know what Jean wanted, and didn't want to

talk to her either; he just wanted to leave.

After Jackson took just two steps forward, Jean realized that he was about to leave, and she suddenly

grabbed Jackson's arm in a desperate way.

Jackson didn't respond at first, and instead stopped and looked at Jean.

But before Jean could say anything, they heard a man's voice not that far away from them.

"Jackson!"
