Ice and Fire novel Chapter 511

Once the ladies had finished getting ready, Cherry drove them both to the mall.

Cherry had never considered Lily as a servant, so she held Lily's arm warmly as they walked through the shops. They looked more like mother and daughter, than servant and employer.

Despite not wearing expensive brand clothes or high-class makeup, Lily had an air of elegance and dignity. She looked more like a noble lady, instead of a housemaid. The pair of beautiful ladies had attracted the attention of many high-born women in the mall.

"Mrs Cherry, I feel at ease accompanying you here. You not only don't look down upon me for my station, but you are willing to be seen with me as close as this, " Lily gushed gratefully.

Cherry smiled. "Lily, don't say that. We're family, how could I treat you any differently? I really appreciate everything you do for us, " she replied.

"Frankly speaking, people like you are rare in the rich and powerful elite class. I finally understand why master treats you so well. You deserve this, " Lily glanced at her shopping partner.

"May I take that as a compliment, Lily?" Cherry asked, a cute smile adorning her face.

"Yes, my lady. You deserve my praise, " Lily giggled.

Reaching a store that piqued Cherry's interest, she gestured inside. "Let's go in there. Their clothes are quite beautiful."

"Good choice. Be careful, my lady, " Lily answered.

"I will, " Cherry returned.

The two walked throughout the store, Cherry browsing the clothes. Two hours later, she had finally settled on several gorgeous dresses. She took the dresses to the counter, paid for them with Jackson's card and left the store with Lily. As they strolled, Cherry felt satisfied with her purchases. She felt her spirits raising for she had spent some of her husband's money.

"My lady, let's have a rest on that bench, " Lily suggested, gesturing at a nearby rest area.

Cherry agreed, "Okay, I'm a little tired."

Sitting on the bench, the two struck up a conversation.

Lily glanced at Cherry, noticing a purple pendant around her neck. "That pendant is beautiful, " Lily observed aloud.

"Isn't it?" Cherry responded, looking down at the pendant. "Andrew gave it to me. It is the most precious gift I have received from him since I married Jackson, " she continued.

"With your permission, my lady, may I take a look?" Lily asked.

"Sure, " Cherry answered. She unclasped the pendant and handed it carefully to Lily.

As the jewellery touched Lily's skin, her hand shivered slightly, but Cherry didn't notice.

Lily held the pendant and rubbed it carefully. Slightly rough surface. 'This is it. This one is true, " she told herself silently, a small smile appearing at the corners of her lips.
