Ice and Fire novel Chapter 453

"They have been busy with wedding arrangements, and buying furniture for Selina and me." Talking about the two of them brought a feeling of helplessness to Wilson. Lately, every night, when he got home, something was new or changed. So far, they had the house repainted, and there was new furniture delivered daily. However, he hadn't seen them so happy in a while, so, he didn't complain.

There was a twinkle of happiness in Cherry's eye when she asked, "Have you set the date for the wedding? Mother and Uncle Jacob are anxiously waiting to receive their new daughter-in-law."

"No, not yet. The photos of Selina and I will arrive in a few days. Then, Derek and I will choose a wedding date and inform Jackson and you." answered Wilson. Wilson was quite busy lately, with business affairs as well as Selina, and taking care of his Father and Aunt Elsa after work. He couldn't recall a time he had ever been as busy. Wilson recalled friends of his preparing to wed, complaining about how much work it was, now Wilson understood. The rewards, being married to Selina, eclipsed the added stress and work because he loved Selina, and it was a joyful occasion to be marrying her.

"That's great! Joe's ready to burst, he keeps asking when you and Selina will be married, " Cherry was excited for her brother. Wilson was so always kind to her, and she was thrilled that Wilson had found his soulmate in Selina.

"What a scamp Joe is!" chuckled Wilson. Thinking of Joe, Wilson couldn't help but smile, but then again, he was such a lovely boy, who wouldn't love him?

Cherry gave Wilson a look of worry, "Look, I know you're busy lately. if it's too much for you, please let me know, and I will handle the affairs here. That way you can focus on the wedding. What's more, Mother and Uncle Jacob are busy, so, you need to help them, so they aren't exhausted."

Wilson was touched by Cherry's thoughtfulness and agreed, "I will see how things go. But, I don't want you to be worn out either. You have your hands full as it is, and have Jackson and Joe to take care of as well."

"It's okay, Joe is a thoughtful, sensitive boy, and Lily is there to help look after him. Even If I were swamped, he has a set routine he follows. You don't need to worry about us. Right now, the most important thing is your marriage to Selina, and getting everything ready so you and Selina have the perfect wedding day, " Cherry said wistfully.

"Alright, " said Wilson nodding.

"By the way, how's Selina doing? I haven't talked to her in a few days, and wondered how she's hanging in?" asked Cherry.

"She's doing well! Derek's giving her a hand at work so that she can relax a little. But, you know how she is! She loves to handle most things herself and goes until she is exhausted, " remarked Wilson. When talking about Selina, he worried. She was a capable woman who took care of each detail personally, not to make more money, but because she took pride in her work.

"Wilson, you need to take better care of her, make sure she's eating regularly and not staying up too late at night, " cautioned Cherry. She knew Selina very well too. She took everything seriously, and at times forgot to eat or sleep.

"Yes, I know. I remind her from time to time, " said Wilson smiling proudly.

When Cherry saw Wilson beaming, she could feel his joy. She chastised him jokingly, "Yes, yes, I know you love her very much! Now, go get your work done. I can easily handle the task you assigned."

"Fine, I'm leaving now, " said Wilson chuckling.

"See you later, " replied Cherry.

After Wilson left the office, Cherry sat down to started working.

Wilson went back to his office. He hadn't been working long when Selina called.

"Hello Selina, " said Wilson answering the phone quickly.

"Hi honey! What are you up to?" asked Selina sweetly.

"I am taking care of some files, " replied Wilson and then in a concerned tone, "What about you?"
