Ice and Fire novel Chapter 76

Cherry then went back home and walked all over the house because she wanted to copy it in her mind. Even though she wouldn't live in it anymore, she would be happy to have a home in her heart.

She stood in front of their wedding photo, and as she looked at the two people in it, Cherry let out a wry smile. The two people in the photo looked very affectionate, but did they really love each other?

The next day, Cherry got up early, and she knew that Jackson would be home in the afternoon.

She went back to the residential compound in the morning. As soon as she got there, she saw John's car in the yard, and immediately realized that John and Lucia might be inside Andrew's house.

Cherry didn't flinch, because she knew that it might be her last chance to see Andrew. She respected him a lot, and Andrew had always treated her well since she had married into the Chu family. She had been wronged only once, but that wasn't Andrew's fault.

When she walked into the house, the butler immediately saw her, and was surprised by her sudden visit. He said, "Mrs. Cherry, why, why are you back here today?"

Cherry looked as usual, and with a smile on her face, said, "I'm free today, and I came back to see grandpa."

The butler then cheerfully said, "Come on, come on in, your sister-in-law is also here now."

With these words, the butler then led Cherry to the living room.

When she saw Lucia and John sitting in the living room, Cherry didn't look a bit surprised, and instead looked towards the direction where Andrew was.

Andrew was very happy when he saw Cherry come in. He smiled happily at her, and said, "Cherr, it's so nice to see you!"

"Morning, grandpa! I've missed you, so I came here to see you, " said Cherry.

"Jackson is still in the barracks, isn't he?" said Andrew. When he saw Cherry alone, Andrew knew that his beloved grandson was at the barracks. Derek was also not in the residential compound, and he figured out that they must be busy in the army.

"Well, he'll be back later in the afternoon. Because I'm free today, I came to see you first, " said Cherry, with a smile on her face.

"Good, good; you're always so considerate, and I'm really happy to see you here, " said Andrew.

"Grandpa, we should visit you as often as we can, " said Cherry. Meanwhile, she heard Lucia whisper, "Such a hypocrite!" Lucia's tone was obviously not kind. Andrew had had a nice chat with her before Cherry had come in on them. Now, Andrew focused all of his attention onto Cherry, and ignored Lucia. 'How could I be so nice to her?' she thought.

Cherry remained calm, and pretended not to hear what she said. She smiled, and said to her, "Lucia, it's so nice to also see you here. Today's all about coincidences!"

"If I had known that you would be here too, I wouldn't have come here today in the first place, " said Lucia with disdain in her voice. She hated Cherry because her son was fascinated by her, and had even divorced his wife because of her.

"Mom, please don't say anything like that!" said John. He knew that his mom disliked Cherry, but he did not want Cherry to be embarrassed, especially in Andrew's presence.
