Ice and Fire novel Chapter 172

After she heard her, Cherry was very disappointed, and sighed, "Oh."

She continued to ask her, "Do you know where the Shens are living now? The family who lived here before the Wangs."

The maid shook her head, and replied, "I really don't know, but I think that the owners said that they bought the house from a friend who had bought it at a low price from its original owners that had difficulties."

Cherry's hopes had been shattered completely. She couldn't find any trace of the Shen family, and thought, 'It's been so long already... How could I ever find something here?'

After Cherry said goodbye to the maid, she opened her car's door and was about to get inside it and leave, but suddenly saw a car park next to hers. Curious, she tried to see who it was.

A middle-aged woman was sitting in the car, and asked her, "Aren't you Cherry?"

After she saw her, she immediately cried, "Aunt Eva!" Cherry seemed to stumble into an old acquaintance of hers.

Eva then quickly got out of the car and Cherry happily hugged her. "Aunt Eva, do you still live here?" she asked.

"Yes, I do, " said Eva while looking at beautiful Cherry. She continued, "Cherry you're so beautiful! You haven't changed for a bit in all these years!"

Cherry smiled at her without replying.

Then, Eva suddenly asked surprised, "Why did you come here?"

Cherry looked at her, and said, "I came to look for my father."

When Cherry mentioned about Harrison, Eva's cheerful expression suddenly changed. She said, "Cherry, you know that your family was always in a constant turmoil, I don't need to tell you that. I heard that your father's company had gradually gotten worse after your sister disappeared, and that later had become bankrupt. That Jade divorced your dad and sold the house, and last I heard of her from someone at a party, she's abroad, " said Eva. She paused for a moment, and then said, "As for your father, I really don't know where he is. My husband and I were trying to find him, but we're also busy with our things. We only ask our friends when we're free if anyone of them has found out something new, but nothing yet."

Cherry became very sad after she heard Eva's words. Eva had been her neighbor for many years, and had watched her grow up ever since she had been a child.

She then suddenly sorted out her emotions, and said, "It's okay, Aunt Eva, I'll search for him. My dad should be alright."
