Ice and Fire novel Chapter 926

Cherry felt bad for her son. She sighed and replied, "No, don't worry. I don't think we will leave again. Our home is there and that's where we'll stay. Your father has already handled all international affairs of the JC Group. After everything goes well, he will transfer his power to you. Then we will both retire." As she said this, she was worried for her son. She knew how stressful this was all going to be for him. But at the same time, she knew that Lawrence was ready. She knew that her son was capable enough to handle the things that will be handed down to him. Besides, something could only be decided by her son.

Lawrence closed his eyes and took a deep breath, promising, "Okay, mother. You and father should just stay at home and enjoy your lives. I will handle our company, I will make sure to continue all that you and father worked hard for."

"Wow! Very confident," Cherry laughed as she lightened the mood.

This made Lawrence smile more. He pictured his mother smiling and laughing and it made him look forward to seeing her again.

Cherry then proudly said, "My baby, my son. Lawrence, don't worry. I'll be with you from now on. We won't be apart anymore. We're family and we will always be together."

"Yes, mother. I agree. We won't be apart anymore." Lawrence's voice broke as he continued, "I can't wait to see you, father, and Violet again."

They finished off their conversation with a good bye. Lawrence looked outside and felt relaxed and contented. He could not help but smile. His family had always made him feel safe. They had always given him the support that no one else could provide. He longingly reminisced his memories with them.

His memories of his childhood was not all clear. But he vividly remembered the time when he was just five years old and he was living abroad with his mother. His mother had always been strong and independent. She raised him on her own, refusing the help of her own parents. She was the most hard working woman he knew. His uncle often accompanied them, acting just like his father. Back then, Lawrence had hoped that his uncle could truly be his father. But he never mentioned that to his mother, because he did not want to annoy her. He also did not want to force her to do anything she did not want to. To help his mother, he observed everything quietly. He considered things carefully. He learned from all these. He was very determined to be the best because he believed that this was the only way he could help his mother. This was the only way to relieve her of some of the burden she was carrying alone.

After they returned to the city, they met his father. Lawrence saw the tears and the smiles of his mother. He finally saw her happy. His father had been a very powerful man since then. He grew up with a loving mother and an influential father. He also met his great-grandfather who had spoiled him too much. Looking back now, he realized he could not remember his great-grandpa's face. Try as he might, it was all vague. But he remembered clearly how much his great-grandpa loved him and it made Lawrence miss him terribly.

Lawrence treasured all the time he spent with his mother. But there came a time when he made mistakes. He was young and he could not forgive himself. He felt ashamed so he ran away and gone abroad. When he saw his little sister crying, it felt like a knife cutting through his heart. He wanted to take away Violet's pain, he wanted to give her all the happiness she deserved. She was their little princess, the apple of his family's eyes. He hated anyone who caused her harm. But he was sad that he had unintentionally and indirectly caused her childhood suffering and he could never forgive himself for that. He knew that the accident had totally changed Violet's life.

Lawrence could not handle his regrets. He knew he should make up for them, but he did not know how to face his little sister. Therefore he ran away and left his family. He had been a coward. But when he was living alone, he missed his mother terribly. He had always wished to be with his family again. He knew he had taken for granted all of the things and all of the people he loved the most.

Lawrence eventually grew up and became matured through it all. He became stronger. Everything was changing and time flew by, and before he knew it, he was a different person. He learned a lot and had been even more powerful. But deep in his heart, he was still longing for his family. They were still the most important people in his life.

Standing on the balcony, Lawrence smiled wistfully as he remembered it all. He lost track of time and forgot about where he was and who was waiting for him. He was brought back by the vibration of his phone in his pocket. He shook his head and looked at his phone. He saw that it was a text from Mike.

Lawrence suddenly recalled that he was still in the bar and that Mike was downstairs waiting for him.
