IN LOVE WITH A SOLDIER, VOLUME 2 - Season 10 Episode 54

“It doesn’t matter. We have already met Derek and Wilson. Perhaps Mond thought it would be better for us to meet together,” Cherry responded, as she rose from her seat and made her way towards Jackson.

Jackson stretched out and took her in his arms. “So, are we leaving now?” he asked affectionately.

“Yes. I will go upstairs and change my clothes. Then we can leave,” Cherry answered.

Speaking of changing clothes, Jackson had an idea. “How about I accompany you for shopping? I want to buy some clothes for you,” he offered.

“There is no need. I have already bought many before coming back from Hong Kong. Violet chose them for me and I like her choice. I don’t need clothes for now,” she refused his offer straightforwardly. She was a self-disciplined person and never tried to lead a luxurious life.

“Don’t save my money. You can buy whatever you want,” Jackson said. He still loved to pamper his wife the same way he did in the past. ‘She never splurges money, and that is why she is so special. Sometimes I even hope she acted like spoilt women and created trouble for me. But thanks to her, I can focus on my work. With her by my side, every day is full of excitement and surprise, ‘ he brooded.

“I am not saving money for you. I am doing it for my dear son,” Cherry corrected, putting on a smirk on her face.

“How much can you save? He might not need them at all,” Jackson retorted. His lips curved into a sly smile as he went on, “How about we keep all our savings to ourselves instead of leaving them to our son?”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea,” Cherry opposed.

“We will keep one-tenth of our money and leave the rest for Lawrence,” she declared, as if she was in the office dictating terms to her secretary.

“What about Violet? Have you forgetton about her?” Jackson asked, still worried about his lovely daughter.

“Lawrence will take care of her. Don’t worry about that,” Cherry replied. “If he fails, I will teach him a lesson,” she added.

That was what he really wanted to hear. Lowering his head he kissed her earlobe gently, he then whispered in his sexy voice, “That’s what my woman should say.”

“Who allowed you to come so close to me, Jackson?” Cherry asked pretending in fake anger, as she pushed her husband away from her.

“We have been closer than this. Do you want…” And there he paused but his sly smile gave away what he wanted to say.
Flushing, Cherry punched him on the chest. “What’s going on in your mind? I gotta go now,” she berated.

Cherry broke free and rushed upstairs. Cross-legged, Jackson waited on the lounge. ‘I’d like to see what she looks like after she gets dressed, ‘ he thought with expectation.

Twenty minutes later, Cherry dressed in a dark purple dress came elegantly down the stairs. She looked gorgeous and fabulous with light make-up, medium length layered hair with long bangs.

Cherry came over to Jackson and stopped in front of him. “What do you think of this one? Is it looking good on me?” she asked with a gesture.

“You look gorgeous!” Jackson remarked as he felt his heart skip a beat. Soon he got out of the trance and sat up immediately. He took Cherry by the hand and led her to the front door. “Did you say that Mond had urged us to set off as soon as possible? Let’s go,” he said.

“Come on, Jackson, what’s the rush to go?” Cherry grumbled as she kept moving.

The couple entered the car. Jackson fastened the safety belt for his wife before driving away. He was happy to spend some peaceful time with her.

In a luxurious sports car, Wilson was in the driver’s seat, while Selina sat beside him. He veered his vehicle at a slow speed.

“Do you think Cherry and Jackson will agree if we tell them that we are planning to hand over H King Group to Lawrence?” Selina asked abruptly, as she turned to look towards Wilson.

“I think we should discuss this with Lawrence,” Wilson replied. “After all, it’s his decision. We should ask for his opinion first.”

“But Jackson and Cherry’s suggestion will also be important for Lawrence,” Selina said. She was uncertain whether Lawrence would agree to take over the Group.

“We will discuss with them when we reach there,” Wilson responded. “I don’t think Austin will be in charge of our company. It’s time for us to retire and enjoy our life. We need to find a qualified heir who can handle all tasks responsibly.”

“Exactly. I trust Lawrence’s capabilities. He can handle the job,” Selina nodded as a sign of agreeing to his words. As she recalled the past, she went on, “I have been working since I took over JS Group. Even when I was pregnant, I helped you with the business. Now kids have grown up. I want to give myself a long holiday.”

Wilson held the steering wheel with one hand and reached out his right hand to grab Selina’s. He whispered, “When I handover all the responsibilities, I will keep you company and we can go anywhere you want to go. I always feel I owe you a lot. Ever since you got married, you have always been buried in work. You did not even have a real holiday.”

Selina shook her head as she said, “Don’t say that. You’re my greatest delight. Although I have been busy with work these years, I felt happy because I loved my job. I never got sick of the work. Instead, I feel that I have led a full life. I think I have already achieved the goal I had set for my career. Now it’s time to let it be. My next goal is to set my work aside and give you company. I want to hold your hand and see the sunrise and sunset with you.”

Wilson fixed his earnest gaze on Selina and then looked back ahead. He said firmly, “Let me help you with your goal.” “I will give you the chance,” Selina observed with a bright smile. “I love you, honey.”

“I love you too, sweetheart,” he returned.
