Ice and Fire

When Jackson saw Cherry's worried look in her eyes, he touched her head, and with a smile on his face, softly said, "Baby, don't worry, Grandpa isn't angry with you! I told him about Joe, and he's very happy that he already has a great-grandson. He wants us to go to the military residential compound as soon as possible and visit him together with Joe."

Cherry seemed to be more at ease after she heard Jackson's words. She thought to herself, 'Grandpa has always wanted me to have a child with Jackson, and now that we have already had Joe, he must be so happy that he might not be angry with me anymore.'

Jackson then suddenly grabbed Cherry's hand, and seriously said, "Baby, don't worry, I'll always be there for you, no matter what happens! I'll take care of everything, so you don't have to worry about anything!"

At that moment, Cherry lovingly looked at Jackson, and she thought that she was the happiest woman in the world. She nodded to him, and said, "Okay."

Jackson was also delighted to see the happy look sparkling in Cherry's eyes. He gently said, "Let's go shopping this afternoon; I'll buy you some new clothes and we'll go to the residential compound to see Grandpa in the weekend."

"Well, it's all up to you, " replied Cherry. Joe didn't have to go to school in the weekend, and they could take him with them to see Jackson's Grandpa. Cherry thought that maybe, as soon as Andrew saw Joe, he might be too happy to question her about her running away five years ago.

After they ate their lunch, Jackson and Cherry went to the mall together.

In the mall, Cherry enjoyed herself very much, and she almost totally ignored the man next to her. She tried on many clothes, one by one, as long as she saw them look smart. Jackson was very tired, and like every man, he couldn't understand why women were so into shopping.

However, when he saw that Cherry was enjoying herself, he didn't complain at all, and just helped her pick the clothes that suited her the most.

They spent the whole afternoon shopping together. Cherry bought several clothes, and because of Jackson's strong recommendation, she also bought two evening dresses.
