Ice and Fire novel Chapter 942

Cherry's voice echoed in the room engulfing everyone in her love, concern and warmth. She continued, "Violet and you have known each other for a long time. I know your love is true and pure. Take very good care of what you have between the two of you. I trust you both to handle the future maturely, to respect, cherish and love each other dearly."

"Thank you Mom. We'll try everyday," said Violet.

"Brilliant!" said Cherry. She then took a deep breath and smiled, "So then let us have a drink to celebrate this reunion."

"Cheers!" said Derek and stood up.

Others followed suit.

It was a beautiful scene, as the sweet wine flowed, glasses clinked and laughter ensued.

Together, the family and friends enjoyed an evening full of smiles and happiness, chatting all along and making merry memories.

After dinner, Derek and Amy went home.

Alice quickly whisked Violet away, "Violet, let us go to your room. I need to tell you something important in private."

At the same time, Jackson walked to Greg and said to him, "Greg, come with me. I want to ask you something."

Greg looked confused but agreed, nevertheless. "Alright, let's head to the study then?"

As everyone dispersed, Cherry saw the retreating figures of Greg and Jackson going upstairs and she thought to herself, 'Hmmph...well it seems everyone has some or other business but me!'

Just then, Lily walked in with a plate of fresh, juicy fruits, cut just right. She placed the plate onto the table and said, "Lawrence will be with you shortly, my lady. He has gone to see Mr. Derek off."

Cherry smiled at Lily's concern and said, "Yes of course. You know what, I think I'l go upstairs to the second floor. I'll be resting there for a bit. If Lawrence comes, send him up to me, will you?"

"Of course," replied Lily.

In the study, Jackson sat opposite Greg.

"What is it Dad? What do you want to tell me?" Greg asked with genuine curiosity. However, a part of him knew what Jackson wanted to say to him.
