Ice and Fire novel Chapter 933

Soon the Jackson's family reached their villa. When Cherry got out of the car, she saw Lily coming her way.

"You're back, Mrs. Cherry," Lily gushed, smiling ear to ear.

"I miss you too, Lily," Cherry replied. She stretched out, stepped forward and gave the old maid a tight hug.

With a restful look, Cherry leaned her head on Lily's shoulder. She felt like she had traveled to the past when she had lived with the old maid.

"Welcome home," Lily cooed in a motherly tone.

After Cherry let go of the embrace, she watched her intently. 'She got more wrinkles than I last saw her, ' she remarked.

"Thank you for your devotion to our family in the past years, Lily," Cherry said with a guilty air. She felt sorry to have left her alone at home for so many years.

"Mrs. Cherry, please don't say that. I should thank you and Mr. Jackson. You gave me a place to live. I've really enjoyed every day that I spent in the house. I am satisfied with such a life," Lily spoke. As she expressed her gratitude, she held onto Cherry's hand and was reluctant to let her go.

"Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Cherry, Violet, welcome home," Bill broke in gladly.

"Bill, now that we're back, you will get busy," Violet grinned.

"I'm glad to work for you. Just let me know if I can be of any help and I'll be available at your service. I'll try my best," Bill replied confidently, patting his chest.

Everyone burst into laughter in the yard.

"Let's get inside. The lunch is ready," Lily cut in, bringing their bout of laughter to an end, as they all headed towards the house.

Once inside the house, Cherry surveyed the place, beginning from the at the living room and then the dining room. 'So many years have passed, but there is no change in this house, ' she thought, secured and happy.

"I have cleaned up your rooms as Mr. Lawrence instructed last night," Lily said warmly.

"I'm glad that I have a caring son," Cherry commented approvingly as she laid her eyes on her son. She held him by the hand and praised, "Lawrence, you have turned into a considerate, excellent young man. I am so proud of you."

"Come on, Cherry. It's unfair. Every time I cleaned up our room in Hong Kong, you never praised me," Jackson grumbled with feigned displeasure, but he was immersed in joy inwardly.

"Are you getting envious of Lawrence, Uncle Jackson?" Alice put in with a light touch.

The amusing manner of her question brought another round of hearty laughter reverberating through the whole house.

Noticing that her parents and brother were engrossed in a conversation, Violet pulled Alice by the arm and they walked to the balcony.
