Chapter 410 To Fulfill Our Son's Wish (Part One)

When Cherry returned in the bedroom, she found Jackson sitting on the bed and reading a book. After

he saw Cherry, Jackson put the book aside and stretched out his hands to her, waiting for Cherry to Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

jump into his arms.

"Have you been waiting for me for a long time? Joe's just fallen asleep." asked Cherry, while she was

nestling in Jackson's arms.

"It's okay. No matter how long you're gone, I'll always wait for you, " said Jackson, with love and

tenderness reflected in his eyes.

"Well, can you give me some more time then? I'm going to take a shower, okay?" asked Cherry.

"Go right ahead, " replied Jackson.

When he saw that Cherry entered the bathroom, Jackson's heart filled with happiness, because he was

satisfied with the life that he was spending with her. At that moment, he wasn't thinking about anyone

or anything else except for his woman. He felt that nobody or nothing from the outside could ever

darken or break his mood.

Lying in bed, Jackson held Cherry's soft body tight into his arms as he usually did.

"Jackson, " suddenly called Cherry.

"Eh? What's wrong?" replied Jackson.

"What are you going to do next?" asked Cherry.

Jackson knew what Cherry actually meant by asking him this question, because she wanted to know

his plans for their future life. Since he had been discharged from the army, he had to make a plan for

his future.

Jackson looked up at the ceiling and said, "I think I need to deal first with the things that Grandpa left in

his wake. Although we aren't lack of any money, I might also go back into business in the future."

"Business? Do you want to set up a company?" quickly asked Cherry.

"I'm not sure yet, but if I really want to set up a company, me and Derek will have to spend a lot of time

and energy on it, " said Jackson. He thought that if he really wanted to get back in business, he should

come up with a very good plan beforehand. Holding the title of the Chu Family's heir, he could use that

to connect with people from the commercial, military and political circles, but for now he just wanted to

run a company and to work hard for it. He only wanted to live a quiet and peaceful life, accompanied

with this beautiful woman and their lovely son.

Cherry nodded to him, and said, "I understand."

Jackson then affectionately said, "Honey, I want to ask you a question."

"Ask it, " tenderly answered Cherry.

Jackson then came closer to Cherry's ear, and said in a calm tone. "It's about Stephen. Is he your

friend?"

Cherry didn't expect that Jackson would ask her a question about Stephen.

"Why are you asking me this?" inquired Cherry.

"I'm just curious on what's your opinion on him, " replied Jackson.

"You really want to know that?" asked Cherry again. She knew that Jackson and Stephen had despised

each other for a long time, and that there was a fierce competition in their business careers. Cherry

was afraid that Jackson would get angry if she told him her real thoughts about Stephen.

"Yes, " simply answered Jackson.

Cherry thought for some time, and then earnestly said, "I can call Stephen my friend because he

helped me, after all, and never harmed me. Although he's very close to Mond, and I still don't know

what happened between you and them, I still trust my judgment that he's one of my friends. He's never

hurt me."

When he heard her, Jackson kept silent and didn't know what to say next.

After a long time, Jackson sighed, and said, "I don't want to make an enemy of him if it's possible."

After she heard Jackson's words, Cherry looked at him and asked, "Jackson, are you going to do

something to Stephen?"

"Maybe, but I'm not sure now. If I have to deal with Mond, then I will definitely have some trouble with

Stephen as well. I'm not sure what I'll do to them if they plan to meddle in any of my interests, " replied

Jackson.

"Can't the three of you reconcile?" asked Cherry. She knew very well how much Stephen and Mond

hated Jackson, but what had actually happened in the residential compound in that fateful year? Why

did Mond and Stephen hate Jackson so much? She knew Jackson's character, and she didn't think that

he could have done something evil to them, but still, why did they hate Jackson so much? Was it

because Andrew had hurt them?

Jackson shook his head, and replied, "We can never reconcile. What happened between us has

scarred us forever; we can never go back to our childhood closeness."

Cherry fell silent.

"Honey, what would you like me to do if I ever have to be against Stephen one day?" asked Jackson,

who wanted to know Cherry's thoughts on the matter. He wondered whether Cherry would choose to

help her husband or her friend, if there ever was fierce competition between the two of them.

Cherry then suddenly looked at Jackson, and seriously said, "Jackson, I know that you have your

reasons for what you have done or you're going to do, but I still hope that you will make peace with

Stephen if you ever have to be against each other one day. I don't know what happened between you

and him, and why do you hate each other so much, but I don't want to see you fighting each other. I

believe in you, and I also know that Stephen isn't a bad guy, because he was kind to me. Don't hurt

each other; I hope that both of you will always be safe."

After he heard what Cherry said, Jackson's heart immediately filled with warmth.

He then held Cherry tight in his arms, and said, "Well, I'll try my best. Thank you, honey."

"By the way, you asked Selina to work on business abroad. Can you be sure one hundred percent that

the JS Group will be all right if the ZM Group is targeting it?" suddenly asked Cherry.

She was somewhat worried about the JS Group, because the ZM Group had been developing rapidly

in the past few years and had already achieved the strength to compete with the JS Group.

"Don't worry about it. Mond would never think that we already began to expand our business abroad,

and besides, his ability to communicate abroad is certainly not as good as Selina's. He has to accept

defeat on this point, " firmly replied Jackson.

Cherry nodded, and said, "That's right. After all, Selina has stayed abroad for so many years that she

surely must have developed a wide range of contacts; she's also good at managing things."

"You don't need to be worried about me or the JS Group. I'll take good care of the JS's affairs with

Derek, you just need to do your job well in the H King Group, okay?" softly replied Jackson. He didn't

want Cherry to be sidetracked by his affairs in any way.
