Ice and Fire novel Chapter 431

After a long drive made worse by the intense traffic jams, they reached the huge, daunting gates of Wilson's house. They saw Joe dashing towards them with an ecstatic smile on his face. Cherry got overjoyed on seeing her son and rushed out of the car.

Joe happily called, "Mommy, there you are! I'm so glad you finally reached."

"Yes, here I am, " replied Cherry with a smile on her face, clutching her son's hand. Until that moment of reunion, Cherry had not known that she would ever experience such immense joy on meeting another human.

As they walked towards the palatial house, they saw Wilson approaching them.

He greeted them, "Hello, Cherry and Jackson, here you are."

Cherry replied, "Hi, Wilson. I bought a lot of things for Mother and Uncle. Let's take them inside." As she finished, Jackson began to take out things from the car.

Wilson said, "You don't need to buy so many things next time. We don't need anything else here."

Cherry replied, "It's not a big deal, don't worry about it. I bought these things while I went shopping with Jackson."

Watching his Daddy doing all the heavy lifting, Joe suddenly wanted to help him with something. He asked, "Daddy, can you give me this small bag? I can carry it into the house."

Feeling proud that his son wanted to burden some responsibility, Jackson said "Okay, here you go." and gave the bag to his son.

Joe bounded and skipped into the house with the bag.

When Cherry and Jackson walked into the living room, they saw Elsa happily hold Selina's hand.

Cherry smiled and said, "Uncle, Mommy, we're back!" She was overjoyed to see them look so cozy together.

Jackson also politely greeted them, "Hello, Uncle, Aunt."

Selina extended her arms and said with a warm smile, "Jackson, Cherry, it's wonderful to see you. It's been a while since we had the whole family together."

Cherry smiled in return and then put all the things on the table. She walked to Selina, smiled and said, "It seems that my mother also likes you."

Elsa kindly said, "Of course I like her. Cherry, Selina is really great."

Cherry pretended to be angry and said, "Mom, this is the first time you've met her and you're already singing her praises. I'm so jealous. Joe also feels hurt and he has said you don't love him anymore."

Hearing his Mommy's words, Joe ran to his Grandma and continued the charade. He pulled at her clothes and said, "Yes, Grandma, you used to love me very much, but now you have Aunt Selina and you have totally ignored me."

Elsa happily held him in her arms and said, "That's not true. You're still my sweetheart and always will be! I l love you, I love your Mommy and I also love your Aunt Selina. I love all of you. Our family is just getting bigger, you need not worry."
