Chapter 34 Let Me Take You Away (Part One)

Jackson walked straight to the hotel, dragging Cherry along. Asking for the room key from the waiter,

he pulled her into the hotel room.

"Jackson, what are you doing? Let me go." Cherry struggled to set herself free and kept shouting.

Jackson kicked the door shut, lifted up Cherry and entered the bedroom. He threw Cherry on the big

bed and got on top of her.

They were so close, but Cherry still kept on resisting, "Jackson, release me, you bully, what are you

going to do?"

"What do you think I'm going to do?" Jackson said, grabbing Cherry by her waist. It had been so long

since the last time he touched her. How he wished he could now devour her completely.

"Stop it, this is a hotel, " Cherry screamed.

"What's wrong with the hotel? Didn't your first time happen in a hotel?" Jackson said.

Cherry instantly froze. She did not fight against Jackson anymore. She lay underneath him quietly,

staring at him with dazed eyes.

Jackson was scared by her behavior. What was the matter with her?

Cherry began to gaze at Jackson, with dread in her eyes. That first time was her personal nightmare.

How did he know about it? Had he sent people to investigate her? Then he must know who that man

was.

"How do you know my first time happened in a hotel?" Cherry asked, without concealing her surprise.

Anyway, since there was no affection between Jackson and her, who cared about the first time?

Jackson did not know how to reply. Cherry was not aware that the man who had deflowered her was

none other than Jackson. Recalling that he had forced himself on her the first time, Jackson was a bit

worried that Cherry would hate him if she knew the truth.

Seeing that Jackson had not said a word, Cherry pushed him away and kept her distance with him.

She stood up and Jackson did the same.

Cherry turned round and looked at Jackson. She said, slowly, "Did you investigate me? Then you must

know who that person is, right?"

Jackson looked into Cherry's eyes, unsure about what to tell her.

"You must tell me who that man is!" Cherry could hardly maintain her composure. She was even ready

to kill the man who had robbed her of her most precious thing.

Realizing that Cherry was a bit agitated, Jackson said, tenderly, "Don't be so excited."

Cherry grabbed Jackson's arm, looked at him with her whole body trembling. She couldn't help being This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

scared whenever she thought of that night.

"Jackson, you find me to be promiscuous. So you don't want to love me, right?" Cherry looked at him

earnestly.

It had never occurred to Jackson that Cherry would come up with such a question. Shaking his head,

Jackson said, "No, I have never thought this way, believe me."

"Hehe, " Cherry sneered. Releasing Jackson's hand, Cherry stepped back several paces. Then she

said, hopelessly, "I'm such a fool. You know all these things about me. You know that I have been

abused in the Shen house since I was small, as well as the fact that I have been raped in a hotel. How

could I look forward to your love? That's ridiculous."

Cherry felt pessimistic, looking back on the past events. Her heart was filled with anguish. Not until now

had she understood the ground reality. Her aspirations had turned out to be too high.

Jackson's heart ached when he saw Cherry's state. He wanted to tell her that he was the demon from

that night. It was all because of what he had done to her that made him want to marry her, want to love

her and want to take care of her. These words were on the tip of his tongue, but he could not speak

them out.

After a while, Cherry settled down and Jackson's expression looked better, too.

Jackson walked close to Cherry, petted her hair, and said lovingly, "Listen to me, go home."

Jackson had reserved his incomparable tenderness only for her.

Staring into Jackson's eyes, Cherry said, "Can you come home with me?"

Though Cherry had said that he did not love her, she still hoped to have him around her in spite of

losing his heart.

After waiting a minute, Jackson started to talk, "You go back first."

Cherry had already guessed this answer, but she still felt hurt when it came out of Jackson's mouth.

Pushing Jackson's hand away from her hair, Cherry changed her tone and her expression. She

become cold.

"Whether I go home or not, has nothing to do with you." Cherry's cold tone stabbed into Jackson's

heart.

"What do you want to do?" Jackson asked.

"I'm going for accompanying Stephen for the rest of the party. Since the party is not yet over, how can I

leave him alone and go back home?" Cherry said.

Hearing what Cherry had said, Jackson's face turned gray, "Do you care about Stephen so much?"

"Yes, " Cherry said, without thinking, "Just the way you feel about Sally."

"Cherry, what do you really want to do?" Jackson was angry. He looked at Cherry. Why did this woman

have to do the opposite of what he said?

"There is nothing wrong with me. You take part in your party and I will attend mine. No need for

interference at all, " Cherry finished. She seemed to recall something, and continued, "Well, do you

remember what I have told you before? We are a couple in name only. What you do is not my concern,

and my affairs have nothing to do with you."
