Ice and Fire novel Chapter 927

Lawrence went straight to his car as soon as he stepped out of the bar. But, instead of going to his apartment, he drove straight for the Chu family's villa.

Bill was weeding the garden when Lawrence arrived at the villa. He stopped what he was doing and met Lawrence by his car.

"What brings you here, Mr. Lawrence?" Bill asked with a puzzled look the moment Lawrence stepped out of the car. It had been a long time since Lawrence visited the villa, not since he bought his apartment. Why was he suddenly here, without any notice, Bill wondered.

"I have to take care of some things. Where is Lily?" Lawrence asked while he headed for the villa.

"Lily is inside the villa," Bill replied, as he entered the villa after Lawrence.

Lawrence went straight to the living room, with Bill behind him. He settled himself on the lounge without saying anything.

Remembering that Lawrence needed Lily, Bill looked for her. He came back to the living room with Lily in tow.

Lily studied Lawrence as she entered the living room. With his blank, emotionless face, she couldn't figure out what was on his mind. She stood a few feet away from him, not saying a word.

"Lily," Lawrence greeted the old maid earnestly.

"Hello, Mr. Lawrence, welcome back. What can I do for you?" Lily greeted with obedience.

"Clean all the rooms on the second floor and change all the sheets," Lawrence ordered. Lily and Bill were confused and it showed in their faces. Lawrence continued, "Dad, Mom, and Violet are coming home tomorrow."

Bill and Lily both gasped at the news, shock coloring their faces. They couldn't believe what they just heard.

Bill and Lily exchanged glances before Bill asked Lawrence, "Is this really true, Mr. Lawrence? They're coming home?"

"Yes, it's true. Mom called this morning and asked me to pick them up at the airport tomorrow," Lawrence confirmed. "You two need to clean up the house and get everything ready for their arrival."

"Of course, we'll get everything ready," Lily said. A wide grin appeared on her face. She was so excited about Cherry's return and she didn't bother hiding it.

"Take extra care with my mother's room. She wants it to look exactly the way they left it," Lawrence reminded Lily.

"Of course, Mr. Lawrence," Lily agreed.

Bill asked Lawrence, "Would you like me to pick up your family at the airport, Mr. Lawrence?"

Lawrence shook his head. "There's no need, Bill. They want me to do it. Alice will be there also. Just wait here at home," Lawrence told Bill.
