Ice and Fire novel Chapter 804

Lawrence chatted with Elsa for a long time. He only drove away when the latest Rolls-Royce Black Badge Wraith that Mike's Family sent to Wilson's house arrived.

Lawrence soon arrived at the Chu family villa. When he got out of the vehicle, he didn't get into the house immediately. Instead, he looked around the place. This was where he spent his happiest days. 'It still looks like an ancient castle. So many years have already passed, but it still looks like the same when I left. This house carries all my childhood memories, ' he thought.

He suddenly spotted two familiar figures inside the gate. Lily was busy changing soil in the flower pot while Bill was pruning a tree.

Lawrence walked inside the villa and laid eyes on Bill and Lily who were very engaged in their work. "Hello, Bill. Hello, Lily," he greeted while taking off his sunglasses.

Bill and Lily both looked towards the direction where the voice came from. When they caught sight of the young man, they were taken by great surprise.

"L, Lawrence?" Lily called out. She was staring at Lawrence, slack-jawed.

"Mr. Lawrence," Bill greeted in shock. He was pretty sure that this handsome lad in front of him was Lawrence.

Lawrence made his way to Lily and took her in his arms tightly without minding the dirt on her hands. She had worked so many years in his house and he already considered her as his Grandma. So seeing Lily again after many years brought joy to his heart.

"Mr. Lawrence, please let me go. I have mud all over my clothes," Lily said in embarrassment.

"It's okay. If my clothes get dirty, you can help me wash them," Lawrence replied with an impish laugh. But he also let go of her. He then stared at Lily with brooding eyes, 'She got older. Time showed no mercy on her. Her face has wrinkled with age. She used to look so elegant and shrewd but now she's just like any other women in a very simple clothing.'

"I'm glad that you're still that naughty Mr. Lawrence I knew," Lily remarked with a bright smile. In her eyes, Lawrence had been a witty and mischievous child. The way he dealt with things and his intelligence weren't fit to his young age. But now, she assumed that he must have grown into an outstanding person.

Lawrence also gave her a bright smile and then turned to Bill. "How are you, Bill?" he asked politely.

"I'm good, Mr. Lawrence. I exercise every day," Bill answered gladly. "You're not leaving this time, I guess?" he added.

"Yes. My parents have already settled in Hong Kong and Violet went there too so I have to come back here and watch over our family," Lawrence replied.

While Lawrence and Bill were talking, Lily butted in and pretended to whine, "Mr. Lawrence, you should have informed us ahead of time. In that way, I could have bought more ingredients and cook some of your favorite dishes."

"Well," Lawrence replied with a shrug. After several seconds, he looked back at Lily. "Now that you mentioned food, I suddenly feel hungry. I actually didn't eat anything at Uncle Wilson's house."
