Ice and Fire novel Chapter 944

Still looking a Lawrence, she added, "And it's even more important that your marriage is rooted on the fact that you love each other equally."

Lawrence nodded in reply, still avoiding his mother's eyes. He was expecting that answer from her. 'I knew she had her own requirements for my wife. But I also know that she's hoping for me to marry someone I truly love. She raised me to be a compassionate and grateful person. She would always tell me that a good heart is more important than money and fame, ' he reflected.

"Lawrence, did you..." She stopped and looked at her son expectantly. She was sure that Lawrence knew what she wanted to ask.

"Never mind, Mom," Lawrence quickly replied. He was worried that the longer they stayed on the topic, the more likely he was going to mention Aria to Cherry.

"Okay, I see," Cherry replied as she looked away. "If you finally meet someone you like, make sure to introduce her to me," she smiled and added.

She had wanted to see her son get married for a while now. 'Violet and Alice have both settled down already. But Lawrence still haven't found someone. I've always wanted to see him have his own family, but I can never force him. I know him and I'm sure that if I hint at wanting him to find a wife, he will not forget and feel terrible for not being able to give me what I want. But all I ever really want is for him to be happy and for him to find someone who can give him the kind of love he deserves, ' she mused.

"Of course, Mom. Don't worry, I will," Lawrence looked at Cherry and smiled.

After a while, they went back inside and returned to the living room. They caught sight of Violet and Alice as they headed down the stairs.

Alice waved. "I was just about to go home," she said as she kissed Cherry on the cheek.

"Why won't you just stay for the night?" Cherry offered. 'It's getting late, she should just stay in tonight, ' she thought.

Alice playfully looked at Violet and a teasing smile appeared on her lips. "Someone might not want me to stay here tonight. I think she wants to spend a lovely evening with her husband," she kindly teased as she wiggled her fingers towards Violet.

"Come on, Alice!" Violet responded coyly.

Alice was laughing as she shifted her gaze back on Cherry and Lawrence. "It's okay. Violet and I will hang out and have a chance to catch up another day. I will leave her to Greg. I'm sure they have a lot to talk about."

Cherry smiled and nodded her head. 'It's so nice to see that they are still good friends even though they're all grown ups now, ' she smiled at the thought.

"I'll be going now, Aunt. I promise to come visit another day," Alice said as she smiled and stepped towards Cherry.

"Okay. Drive carefully, okay?" Cherry urged in a motherly tone as Alice gave her a hug.

"I will walk Alice out, Mom," Violet said as she skipped towards her friend. Side by side, they headed towards the door.

As they watched Alice and Violet walk out the door, Lawrence turned to his mother and said fondly, "Mom, I think you should rest now. I'll walk you to your room. You must feel tired after your flight."

Cherry looked at her son and replied, "Oh yes, dear. I do feel worn out. I haven't had a chance to take a rest since we arrived."
