Chapter 495 All Secrets (Part Three)
"Derek, this is all I want you to do. I''ll be doing my best to protect my family well in the next few days. If
possible, I also want to bring Mond back into the Chu Family. No matter what Grandpa Andrew said to
him, I want to. Jackson doesn''t hate Mond in his heart, I know that. And that''s enough for me. I want to
find a way to rx their tense rtionship. And even if they can''t sit at one table together, I want them
not to hate each other any longer, " Cherry said earnestly. She honestly didn''t want to see the two
brothers be enemies, hatred would do nothing but hurt them both. Mond had had a hard life, and
so had Jackson. Now that she knew all this, she could stop them from tormenting themselves.
Eventually, Derek nodded in agreement. "Okay, Sister, I promise. I hope Jackson can be happier too. I
will give you my word, so long as this decision will do no harm to Jackson and your family."
"Well, thank you, Derek." Cherry grew excited.
Derek''s promise and her endeavour fuelling her, she tore up the test results papers before Derek. "This
doesn''t exist any longer, " she told him, focusing on his face.
"Sister, I believe you, " Derek replied firmly and gratefully. "But you should take good care of yourself
first. Pay attention to your body."
"I know. I will definitely look after myself well in the future."
Later, once Derek and Cherry had picked up Amy, the three of them returned to Jackson''s home
together. Just as they entered the living room, Cherry saw Joe running on the stairs.
"Mommy, Mommy, you are back!" Joe ran excitedly to his mother.
"Oh, my sweetheart! Mommy''s home now, and I will never leave you again, " Cherry promised lovingly,
holding her little boy in her arms.
Jackson greeted Amy and Derek with a nod. "She seems to be in good spirits today, " he mentioned to
Derek.
"Yes, my Sister must be delighted to be returning home again, " Derek answered with a smile.
Cherry turned immediately to Jackson upon hearing them talk about her. "What''s wrong?" she asked.
"Do I need a reason to be happy?"
"No, no, " Jackson replied quickly. "I was just mentioning it."
Cherry knew deep down that he didn''t mean anything negative about his words, but she felt she should
give him some distance and a touch of hostility. She wanted to see if Jackson truly cared about her,
from his reactions to her.
"Joe, why don''t you head upstairs with Miss Amy for your piano ss now, " Cherry suggested to Joe.
"Okay, Mommy. By the way, can you sleep with me tonight?" Joe asked innocently.
"Of course, I''d be so happy to sleep with my honey, " Cherry replied, shooting him a smile. Jackson''s
face hardened upon seeing that.
Ignoring Jackson''s expression, Cherry turned her smile to Amy. "I''m so d to have you here, Amy."
"Oh, don''t worry about it, Cherry. You''re just too polite. We''ll go upstairs first, " Amy said tenderly. She
took Joe''s hand. "Let''s go, Joe."
Joe followed Amy, hand-in-hand, to the second floor.
Cherry took Jackson to the couch in the living room. They sat together and Cherry snuggled in his arms
as they usually did. Derek felt like a third wheel when they began to be intimate.
"Is it... inconvenient for you with me here? "Maybe it would be better for me to move to the balcony, "
Derek looked away, feeling awkward.
Cherry nced at her husband''s best friend. "You know it''s very cold outside, Derek. The wind is so
strong on the balcony. Of course, if you don''t mind that, you can go outside, " she said pleasantly.
Jackson agreed with her silently, regardless of what she said.
Derek took a sharp inhale. "I''m-I''m just joking, sister, don''t take it seriously."
"Come on, Derek. If you''re waiting for Amy, just wait here quietly. You''ve seen Jackson and I sitting
together like this before. Just make yourself at home, rx." Cherry patted the couch beside them.
Turning his eyes to Derek, Jackson decided to avoid the awkwardness. "When do you intend to get

your marriage license?" he asked happily.
Derek grew visibly excited, like a child at Christmas. "In the next few days. We''ll go to the civil affairs
department when Amy is in a good mood, " he replied quickly, a grin covering his face.
"Then do it quickly! Amy seems very happy these days, " Cherry encouraged. The excitement on his
face gave her great happiness.
"I will, thank you, Sister!" Derek dered firmly. "You are a good example for us. We''ll imitate you and
Jackson, and get married without further ado."
"Imitate us? When I married Jackson, I knew nothing about him except his name, " Cherryughed.
"You and Amy have gotten to know each other, spent time together for some time now. You know each
other''s character now. That''s much better than we did."
Cherry''s expression grew envious as she spoke, making Jackson feel strange.
"You seem to be implying that I didn''t treat you well, " Jackson noted aloud in a suddenly gloomy voice.
"No one knows better than you about how you treated me. You were so arbitrary. You got my ID card
and household register, then we were married, " Cherryined with disdain.
"What else should I have done except take the household register when we were to be married?"
Jackson retorted. He was annoyed that Cherry seemed to be just making trouble for him, but happy
because she was just so cute right now.
"Jackson, if you didn''t force me to marry you with my household register, I would have had more
chances for more blind dates and more handsome men. I could have married someone else!" Cherry
replied proudly.
"Even if you married another, I would have found a way to make your name appear on my household
register. You are destined to be mine, " Jackson dered loudly.
Derek couldn''t help butugh quietly. He still remembered the quiet girl Jackson met in the hotel, and
asked him to find. Jackson had decided all the way back then that Cherry was to be his. Just as
Jackson said, he had the power to have Cherry a part of the Chu Family. She had no chance to escape
him, so long as Jackson wanted her as his wife.
