Chapter 6 Just A Marriage Of Convenience
The next day, when Cherry Shen reached the café, she saw that Jackson Chu was already sitting at the same table. She walked over to him.
Sitting down, Cherry Shen took her household register and ID card out of the bag, and gave them to him.
Jackson Chu took the household register and ID card and said, "It will probably take a week or so for the military to approve our marriage."
"It's okay. I can wait." said Cherry Shen. She waved her hand indifferently. It appeared as if she did not care about this marriage.
Cherry Shen's indifference enraged Jackson Chu. He was angry that the woman was ignoring him and their marriage.
Cherry Shen did not want to stay here any longer. She had come here only to hand over the household register and ID card.
"Then I am leaving. I have something else to do." said Cherry Shen. With these words, she stood up and was about to leave.
Seeing her leave, Jackson Chu immediately stood up, grabbed her arm and pinned her against the wall. He looked at her closely and she could feel his breath.
"Why do you want to marry me if you don't love me?" said Jackson Chu coldly, with a hint of arrogance. He did not know why he cared about her feelings. He wondered whether she still loved his nephew.
Cherry Shen looked calmly at him and asked, "Do you love me?"
Her question surprised Jackson Chu. His heart ached. Love?
Cherry Shen smiled and continued, "Why bother asking this question if we do not love each other?"
"You'll be my wife." said Jackson Chu firmly. For him, a wife was someone who would be with him for the rest of his life.
