Ice and Fire novel Chapter 594

The grand wedding came to an end at noon, accompanied by soft music and witnessed by all the guests present.

Amy, adorned in a beautiful white wedding dress, held Derek's arm as they approached Jackson and Cherry.

"Congratulations!" Cherry exclaimed, her delicate face crossed by a wide smile.

Putting a hand over his heart, Derek nodded. "Thank you," he told her sincerely.

"Cherry, thank you!" Amy concurred.

Cherry and Jackson shared a look. Jackson nodded and Cherry smiled in response.

"What's going on? Are you hiding something from us again?" Derek asked suspiciously. Derek felt they had conversed in some way.

"Oh, it's nothing. We want to give you a wedding gift. Your wedding is over, but you didn't ask us for that," Cherry replied. She took out a set of keys and tenderly placed them in Amy's hand, clasping the bride's fingers over them.

"Cherry, what's this?" Amy asked with her mouth agape, staring at Cherry and Jackson.

Cherry's smile grew bright. "Amy, take it. This is a gift from Jackson and I. If you want to go out, you can now drive your own car instead of asking Derek to give you a ride," Cherry answered.

Derek blinked. "But- but Cherry, this is too much," he stammered. He felt it improper to receive a car as a gift, even though he and Jackson were good friends.

"You must take it," Cherry ordered firmly. "I am pregnant now, so you can't displease me. No one can refuse my gift, including you," she added.

"Cherry, but..." Amy stuttered, a shy and hesitant expression on her face. 'I can't receive this. I never thought it necessary to buy a car. I seldom go out, so I don't have that much opportunity to use a car. What a surprise that Cherry would give me such an expensive gift!' she thought to herself.

"Just take it. It wasn't just my idea. Jackson and I both thought you would like it. Besides, you and I are good friends. Derek is Jackson's best friend. It's not a big deal," Cherry persuaded.

Jackson nodded in agreement, adding,"Just accept it. Otherwise I might be angry with you."

The new couple paused and Derek nodded at Amy, giving his blessing for her to accept it.

With a deep sigh, Amy looked on their friends with gratitude. "Cherry, Jackson, thank you!" she exclaimed.

"You're welcome," Cherry replied with a warm smile. "May you live happily together forever!"

Mond and Joe found their way to the happy couple and Joe's parents.

"Dad, Mom, what are you doing here?" Joe asked curiously.

"Giving our blessings to Derek and Amy," Cherry answered. She then looked sternly down at her son. "You naughty boy, where did you go?"

Waving a hand in the air dismissively, Joe smiled innocently. "I just roamed about," he replied casually.

She turned to Mond. "Is that so?" she asked. 'Joe is exceedingly happy today. I don't believe him, especially because of the way he's acting. If I heard these words from Mond, however, I would believe, ' she thought.

"Oh, come on, Mom. I just went upstairs and visited Uncle Derek's room. I saw many men there," Joe confessed. He knew better than to try to hide the truth from his mother's eyes further.

Jackson and Derek burst into laughter at this. They were sure they would have fun tonight.
