Ice and Fire novel Chapter 941

"Well...so are you not jealous now?" Derek asked with genuine curiosity.

Greg was taken by surprise with this question and gave them a blank look. But his mind was racing and thoughts flooded in, one after the other, like a rising tempest, 'This Stephen might just be Jackson's rival in love, ' he thought.

"What do I have to be jealous of, I have nothing to envy! Stephen's child is as old as Violet, he's a father! Cherry can talk to him and contact him if she wants to, why would I have a problem with that?" Jackson took a pause and breathed. Everything he had said right now was more than true. As a young, hot blooded lover, he had every right to be jealous of Cherry talking to other men. After all, that was how he had shown his love for her. But now, things were different. Cherry and he had fallen in a peaceful laid back place, where love need not be shown or proven to each other. Now he did not have a problem with her talking to other men.

Derek thought a while and nodded, "Yes, you're right Jackson."

The conversation then turned to banter, as if they had picked up from where they had last left.

Suddenly, Violet sauntered into the room to find the gentlemen engaging in friendly banter. A hush fell over and the men stopped talking to look at her.

Violet paid no heed to who else was there. She barely glimpsed at Lawrence and Greg and directly went to her father. Even in her confident strode, she didn't glance at anyone else. She plonked down next to Jackson and put his arm around her, "What are you talking about Daddy?"

Jackson smiled at his little princess, "Well, if you are that curious to know what we are talking about, maybe you should sit here and find out."

"Oh, no no. I am not here to stay. I only came in to give you Mummy's message. She has said that dinner's almost ready. You can chat for a little time but once Lily serves dinner, I'll call you."

Jackson did not let his smile fade, but instead, he looked towards Greg and pointedly asked Violet, "So, are you going to just talk to me and let others be offended and hurt?"

Violet immediately knew what her Dad meant. She looked at Greg who smiled back at her, his face glowing with hope and eagerness.

"Well I don't care about who's angry at me and who's not! I only care about my Daddy, because I love him the most!"

"Hmm, well okay," said Jackson as he looked at his daughter with love, "So how about you just stay with us then? You can stay with your Mommy and Daddy forever and leave Greg behind, is that what you want?"

The question hit her liked a stone out of nowhere. Violet was stumped, she didn't know how to answer this.

Now all eyes were on Violet. In a corner, Lawrence sneered, he had been put in embarrassing situations way too often by Violet and he was glad it was Violet's turn for a change. He could finally get his revenge! He looked forward to seeing how Violet answered this tricky question.

"Well, Daddy, I'd love to stay with you..." Violet started and trailed off..."but you know I couldn't bear to live with Lawrence! He troubles me too much!"

"Who! Me? Troubles you?" Now it was Lawrence's turn to be hit hard and out of nowhere. Violet got him, like a vicious hunter catches an innocent sheep.

Violet triumphantly said, "Why yes, don't you think so? You'd harass me and disturb me way too much." Violet gave him a mischievous smile.
