Chapter 473 Why Did You Fight To Save Me Then (Part One)


    Bowing his head, Jackson sat with Sally in the private room, "I''ll give you 50 million, if you leave, and


    never reappear in my life, " he offered.


    Sally''s jaw dropped, and she gave Jackson an incredulous look. She couldn''t believe her ears, had she


    heard Jackson''s words right? "Wha...? What did you just say?"


    Sally shook her head. She wouldn''t believe what was happening. Was Jackson driving her out of the


    city? How could he do this to her? Where would she go if she left the city? If she left Jackson?


    "Didn''t you understand what I said? If you are not satisfied with the amount, I can offer you more. I can


    help you get an apartment and a job, " Jackson didn''t want to have to repeat his offer.


    Sally jumped up suddenly and stumbled backwards. There were tears making her eyes glimmer as she


    stared at Jackson and asked, "Jackson, why? Why are you doing this to me?"


    The painful expression Sally had told Jackson that he had taken Sally by surprise. Jackson stood up


    and stepped closer to her, but, keeping his distance from Sally at the same time. Seeing her teary eyes


    moved Jackson a little. After all, she was his childhood friend, even if he no longer loved her, he


    understood her feelings and he wasn''t heartless.


    "Sally, I''m sorry, I can''t keep it going like this anymore, " apologized Jackson, guilt softening the tone of


    his voice.


    "Is this because of Cherry? Are you making me leave the city because she doesn''t want me near you?


    How can you do this to me?" Thinking of the past, Sally stared at Jackson, "In the past, no one could


    change your mind, not even Andrew, and he was the closest to you. Yet you make all these changes


    for Cherry?"


    "I am willing to make changes for her; she deserves it, " Jackson blurted out his innermost feelings. He


    would do anything for Cherry. She held his heart and made him rethink his principles.


    "Bah, " Sally sneered and suddenly burst into tear. Emphasizing her words to him she said, "I would do


    anything, make any change, for you. My only wish is to be with you, to grow old with you, to remain at


    your side, looking at you and loving you, do you realize that?"


    Listening to Sally''s resolve, Jackson didn''t know how he would persuade her.


    It was quiet in the private room. With neither person speaking, they were both lost in thought. Sally


    stared at Jackson, but he looked off to the side and wouldn''t make eye contact.


    Sally slowly walked up to Jackson, and suddenly wrapped her arms around Jackson''s neck, and


    looked closely at the details of his face. From the time they were young, she could close her eyes and


    retrace every inch of this handsome face, it was something she wouldn''t forget. Even as he grew older


    and matured, and became more masculine, every detail was familiar to her. The happy times they


    shared in the past and the troubles now showed little change.


    "Jackson, if I admit that I staged the scene so Cherry would think we did something that never


    happened, would you let me stay?" Sally softened the tone of her voice to purring, which made it


    difficult for Jackson to say no to her.


    Jackson felt conflicted when Sally pleaded in such a soft manner, so he didn''t look at her.


    Standing in the doorway of the private room, Mond and Cherry watched the two people standing in the


    room, entwined intimately together. Sally was clinging to Jackson looking at Jackson doe eyed.


    Cherry didn''t think she could stand quietly for long, hearing Jackson ask Sally to leave, and seeing the


    devastation on Sally''s face. Cherry heard Sally admit to Jackson that nothing had happened the day as


    she approached Jackson. Cherry stood there, seeing and hearing everything, but she wasn''t angry.


    She didn''t call out to Jackson either. She held herself in check wanting to watch the scene unfold.


    Behind Cherry, Mond was a little surprised that Cherry wasn''t interrupting Jackson and Sally. From


    what he knew about Cherry, she loved Jackson so much, Cherry was jealous when other women got


    near Jackson.


    Just then, a waiter approached Cherry. He was about to greet Cherry. But when he saw what was


    urring in the private room, the stunned waiter immediately carefully and quietly asked Cherry, "Are


    you okay?"


    Although the waiter lowered his voice, Jackson and Sally heard the quieted voice from the hall.


    Jackson whipped his head to see who was at the door. He saw Cherry''s face, the waiter standing next


    to her and caught a glimpse of Mond standing behind her.


    Jackson looked in Cherry''s eyes as panic rose in his heart. He was sure that she would misunderstand


    what was going on, and he wouldn''t have a chance to exin what happened the other day. But now,


    this scene would just add fuel for the fire.


    Sally pulled her arms from around Jackson''s neck and stepped back when she saw Cherry and Mond


    standing there.


    Jackson rushed over to Cherry and nervously said, "Babe, please, don''t take this wrong. There is


    nothing going on here, I swear!"


    "I didn''t say anything, " Cherry said in an even tone. She had a serene look on her face when she


    looked over at Sally who was left standing in the room alone. Sally was dressed to the nines and


    wearing luxurious jewelry, but Cherry could only see how sad and pitiful she looked.


    Jackson was at a loss for words. He looked behind Cherry to Mond and then back at Cherry, "What are


    you doing here?"


    "What do you mean? I came here to see you because I missed you. Is this how you wee a visit


    from your wife?" Cherry asked keeping her tone even still.


    "No, no!" said Jackson.


    Cherry ignored Jackson and instead, walked by him into the private room, and one step at a time, she


    slowly approached Sally.


    Standing in front of Sally, Cherry looked at her without malice. Cherry''s heartbeat was steady and calm.


    She knew Sally was her husband''s old me and Cherry didn''t know Jackson when Sally and he were


    young kids and in love. What could she do about Sallying to her husband now? She could handle


    it and deal with the ordeal ording to her will, but, she had no interest deciding how to treat these


    people.

    "Do you love him that much?" Cherry''s question came out of the blue.


    Sally looked at Cherry not knowing what Cherry was going to do. Why would Cherry ask something like


    that?


    "Yes, I love him that much, " replied Sally unafraid. Sally believed Jackson used to belong to her, and


    always would.


    "But, Miss Sally, I love him too, " said Cherry confidently. She no longer felt inferior to this woman. She


    no longercked confidence like in the past when she first married Jackson because they had no


    feelings for each other at that time. She knew how much Jackson loved her after five years and she


    believed she was lucky. She wanted to guard her family, her child, and her beloved man. She


    considered her future and wanted to do something she enjoyed.


    Looking at Cherry, Sally couldn''t believe what she was hearing. This woman was actually so bold


    enough, with a look of confidence, as though she had always been superior to Sally.


    "Sorry you and I love the same person, but, he is my husband and the master of our family. He is the


    hope of my child and me. If it''s okay, please give up your hopeless endeavors now. He has a family and


    isn''t single anymore. You should be kind. I believe in you and I know you will make a right choice,


    correct?" Cherry told Sally.


    Cherry''s words surprised Mond and Jackson. Jackson never thought Cherry would talk to Sally like


    that. She was brave enough to confront Sally face to face, and every word Cherry said was now


    engraved in his heart. She had said that she cared about their child, family and loved him.


    It was then that Mond finally understood Cherry was a woman who would get what she needed in life.


    She needed to change, and be strong to face people like Sally. He couldn''t believe the woman


    standing there now was the same vulnerable woman who he saw earlier that morning. But just then,


    she had no choice other than to be strong.


    "Cherry, did you tell Jackson to send me packing?" Sally asked vehemently, "Listen, I grew up here,


    and you can''t make me move! I won''t leave."


    "I didn''t ask him to tell you to leave the city. My only hope is that you will leave my husband alone, "


    Cherry was full of determination, "My love for him is no less than yours. I gave him my youth, thest


    five years we have been married, and over the years we have grown together, and love each other. We


    have a child together, and my name has always been listed on the Chu Family household register. With


    all this, do you think my love is less than yours?"
