Ice and Fire novel Chapter 931

Alice couldn't hide her excitement driving for her swornmother and Violet to lunch. While driving, she started sharing with them the things that had happened around the city while they were abroad to help them catch up.

"Aunt Cherry, I couldn't tell you enough how my Mom missed you when you're abroad. Now that you're finally back, you two can spend time together to catch up," Alice said with a smile on her face, glancing at Cherry through the rear view mirror.

"Oh, I missed her too," Cherry said and smiled back to Alice. She was sitting at the back of the car with her daughter and enjoying a nice view of the city. "Every time we talked over the phone, I wished we were sitting together enjoying an afternoon tea and chatting face to face." A smile was still on Cherry's face as she was recalling fun times with her friend when their children were young. She continued, "I could still remember when you girls were little, and we used to take you to school every day."

Violet smirked at her mother and said, "Mom, how could you ever forget? We're like an extended family. You're Alice's godmother and her mother's my godmother." Violet was quite pleased to see her mother this happy for a long time since they stayed abroad. She looked at her mother and continued, "And I loved hanging out in Alice's house because Uncle Derek and Godmother made me feel at home."

Speaking about their childhood, Alice and Violet started recalling how fun those days were. "That's right! I loved when we would go to school together and do homework after school at our house," Alice said while laughing in between. "And the times when we bullied Lawrence."

Alice and Violet started laughing hysterically. Violet then added, "Oh, yeah! Back then, Lawrence was so young that he would always follow what we said without complaint and wouldn't answer back even if we bully him. But look at him now, he won't even listen to us anymore."

"That's not true!" Alice said, smiling back at Violet from the rearview mirror. "He doesn't listen to me, but he does listen to you. You have always been Lawrence and Uncle Jackson's princess and they are always at your disposal."

"Well, why don't I organize a party for our families so we can bully Lawrence again. Just like the old times!" Violet said. Both girls laughed so hard that they were running out of breath.

Cherry loved it when these young ladies were having fun like they were children, she smiled and helplessly shook her head and said jokingly, "I feel bad for Lawrence knowing he was bullied by you two." She added, "And as his mother, I am bound to protect my little boy from the two of you."

"Mom, I'm starting to get jealous because you're always helping my brother," Violet teased, pouting her lips to look cute. "Have you forgotten that I'm your daughter?" Violet asked as she folded her arms and slouched on the seat like a spoiled brat.

"Godmother, you don't have any idea how bossy Lawrence was. Or should I say is?" Alice laughed. "He always decides everything by himself. The only chance I can bully him is with the help of Violet but it's unfortunate that you won't even allow it," she continued and pretended to be sad.

"You're both bullies. I won't have a problem if you bully him one at a time. But if you start ganging up on him, it would be too much," Cherry said, pointing her two fingers to her eyes and then to the two girls as if warning them that she'd be watching.

"Mom, trust me when I say that no one can bully your son," Violet reassured her mom. She looked out the window, puckered her lips, then said, "I'd still hope Lawrence will spoil me like he used to." Violet could still remember how her brother supported her and tried to cover up for her mischievous actions at times when they were young. Her heart leaped with joy as she recalled those times. She used to believe that there was a person who truly and deeply loved her. But she started questioning his feelings for her as time passed by.

Alice was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang. With her left hand holding the steering wheel, she grabbed the phone on the passenger seat with her right hand. She quickly glanced on the display screen to see the caller ID. It was from Tim.
