Ice and Fire novel Chapter 458

After a little while, Derek couldn't wait any longer. "Cherry, when will the piano lesson end?" he asked, eager to meet Amy again.

"Just wait, Derek! There's still more than an hour left in Joe's lesson, " Cherry replied impatiently. She took Jackson's arm and snuggled closer to him.

Derek's face fell. "More than an hour? Such a long time!" he whined.

Her eyes didn't even leave the TV this time she addressed Derek. "You can go now if you don't want to wait. I can just ask Bill to drive her home after class."

"No, no, I'll wait! I'll wait for her every time!" he hastily replied.

Cherry just smiled.

Derek turned to Jackson, and pleaded in a childish tone. "Jackson, you're spoiling her!"

"She is my wife. Who should I spoil if not her?" Jackson replied calmly and coldly.

That silenced Derek immediately.

An hour later, Amy had finally finished Joe's piano lesson. She was surprised to see Derek watching TV in the living room with Cherry and Jackson when she came downstairs.

"Have you finished your class?" Derek stood immediately to greet Amy.

Amy blinked. "Yes, " she said softly.

Standing as well, Cherry and Jackson greeted Amy again.

"Amy, how was the class? "Is it hard to teach Joe to play the piano?" Cherry asked with concern.

"Not at all. Joe is very smart. He easily understands whatever I teach and he does it very well, " Amy replied with admiration. "It's much easier to teach Joe, he is much better than my other students."

Smiling as a proud mother, Cherry gestured at Derek. "Amy, thank you so much. Derek just happened to be here tonight. He's offered to take you home tonight. Is that okay?"

Amy nodded gratefully at Derek. "Thank you, Mr. Derek."

Remaining silent, Derek simply smiled.

By the time they were in the car on their way to Amy's home, Amy had guessed that Derek had made a point to wait for her at the Chu Family residence.

"Were you deliberately waiting for me there?" Amy finally gathered the courage to ask the question burning on her mind.
