Chapter 223 My Woman Is Really Something

While he was taking off his clothes, Jackson replied, "Through the door."

Cherry remembered that she had locked her door, and wondered how did Jackson manage to get in.

Then it hit her that of course he had access to every room, because he was the villa's owner.

When she saw that Jackson was coming closer and closer to her, Cherry retreated to one of the

corners of the bathroom. She looked at him while she had her arms wrapped tight around her chest,

and said, "Don't come closer, stop!"

"Since I'm already here, I think that we should take a shower together!" said Jackson.

He then took Cherry into his arms.

That night both of them went wild with joy in the bathtub.

In the morning, Cherry woke up in a daze, and remembered that she had to wake up her son for school

when she saw that it was already six.

Cherry frowned when she saw that Jackson was sleeping like a log next to her. He had acted like a

beast during the night, and now she couldn't understand how he was able to sleep so peacefully.

Cherry carefully rolled away from Jackson, because she wanted to get up and go to Joe's room to

wake him up.

But Jackson tightly held down Cherry back on the bed when she tried to get up.

Jackson was always cautious. When he sensed that the woman in his arms was moving away from

him, he pulled her closer to him, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Cherry tried to resist him, and while she was trying to break away from his hold, she said, "It's already

six, I need to wake up Joe for school."

"Lily will wake him up, you don't need to be worried about that, " said Jackson, with his eyes still

closed. He wanted to sleep next to Cherry for a while longer, because he felt secure and at peace with

her around him.

"I don't feel alright if I don't check on him myself, " replied Cherry. She didn't want to stay with him any

longer, and she felt angry when she thought about what he had done to her last night.

Seeing that she insisted, Jackson finally gave up and let her go.

Cherry instantly jumped out of the bed the moment after Jackson loosened his grip on her. She then

quickly put on her clothes and walked out of her bedroom.

She woke up her son, and watched him brush his teeth and have his breakfast. Cherry felt relieved

after she saw Bill drive him away to school, because her son was her whole world, as long as he was

safe and sound, she felt secure and at ease.

Cherry then walked back upstairs and went into her bedroom. She saw that Jackson was brushing his

teeth in the bathroom, but she said nothing to him, and instead started to make her bed.

After he was finished, Jackson walked out of the bathroom, and asked, "Did Joe leave already?"

"Yes, " replied Cherry in a low voice while avoiding to look at Jackson.

Jackson then stepped up to Cherry, and as he looked at her, said, "Let's go downstairs and have some

breakfast!"

"I don't feel like eating right now. You can go ahead and eat first, " replied Cherry, still avoiding

Jackson's eyes.

Suddenly, Jackson grabbed Cherry's arm, and as he looked at her, he said, "I want you to accompany

me while I'm eating then."

Seeing Jackson's arrogant reaction, Cherry knew that it would be best not to disobey him, or otherwise

he would get stirred up even more.

Jackson led Cherry out of the bedroom and then went downstairs.

When she saw Jackson and Cherry enter the dining room, Lily quickly served them food.

Instead of sitting on the seat that he usually did, Jackson sat on Joe's, so that he could be more close

to Cherry.

Cherry lost all of her appetite when she saw all the food in front of her, and although she did feel a bit

hungry, she still didn't want to eat anything yet.

Jackson, on the other hand, was busy munching on his food.

After a while, Jackson noticed that Cherry, who was siting next to him, hadn't eaten a bite out of her

food yet. He turned to her, and asked, "Are you going to eat your food?"

"I lost my appetite, but maybe I'll eat some later, " replied Cherry quietly.

"Do you want me to feed you?" said Jackson coldly. Jackson thought that Cherry hadn't eaten anything

since last evening; he also wondered how she wasn't hungry after all the lovemaking that she did with

him during the night. Why did she have to go against her own health? Why did she go against herself

like that?

"No, but I just don't feel like eating right now, " said Cherry. That was true, because she also didn't

know why she couldn't eat either.

Suddenly, Jackson leaned to Cherry and stroke her hair. He gently said, "Tell me right now what you

want to eat! We'll go and eat outside."

Cherry wasn't surprised by what he said. She turned her head sideways, and lightly said, "I'm really not

in the mood of eating anything."

Jackson just looked at her and stopped talking.

Cherry could tell that Jackson was a bit irritated by her answer, so she continued, "You don't need to

worry about me, I'm really okay. You should eat your food, don't mind me."

While she said this, she lightly nudged him, beckoning him to keep eating.

Jackson then started to eat again in silence.

After Jackson finished his breakfast, Cherry left the dining room with him.

"Are you going out today?" asked Cherry.

When he heard what she said, Jackson suddenly stopped walking and turned around to face her. He Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

then placed his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"Do you want me to leave?" asked Jackson, with his head lowered and staring into Cherry's eyes.

"Don't take me wrong, I just want to know your plans for today, " quickly replied Cherry while she turned

her head away, blushing. She was shy to meet his eyes.

Jackson gently pinched her chin with his free hand, and lifted her head to force her to look at him.

"Where do you want to go? We can go for a walk, " said Jackson softly.

Cherry looked at him and couldn't believe what she had just heard. Was he really going to take her for

a walk?

When he saw that no reply came from Cherry, Jackson asked again, "What? You don't want to go for a

walk with me?"

"I do, " quickly replied Cherry.

Jackson then let go of her chin and gently caressed her cheek with his finger. He said, "Then go and

change your clothes, we'll leave the moment you're ready."

"Okay, " replied Cherry, nodding to him.

Cherry turned around and went upstairs, and after some time, she came back with her clothes

changed.

Jackson waited for her at the bottom of the staircase. When Cherry slowly came down the stairs,

Jackson saw that she was in a long dress which perfectly outlined her fine figure, and that her light

makeup was just right. She looked very beautiful!

Jackson was proud of her, and thought to himself that his woman was really something!

Soon after she reached the ground floor, Cherry was quickly pulled by Jackson into his arms.

She was a little confused, and thought, 'Is something wrong about how I dressed?'

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my dress?" asked Cherry, with a puzzled expression on

her face.

Jackson stared into her eyes and slowly shook his head. He said, "No, I was just shocked by your

beauty. Pfew, my woman is really something!"

After she heard that, Cherry pouted and pretended to be angry, and said, "Stop making jokes on me!"

After she said that, Jackson wildly kissed Cherry's lips.

After he enjoyed her lips for some time, Jackson finally let her go. He then looked at her, and said,

"Let's go now, I'll take you for a walk somewhere nearby."

Cherry said nothing, and instead followed Jackson out of the villa with her hand clasped into his.
