Ice and Fire novel Chapter 93

When he saw that Cherry was nervous, with a smile on his face, Wilson said, "I've sent my assistant to fetch him, they'll arrive later. Then we can go home together."

Cherry was relieved to hear that.

A week later, Cherry was familiarized with the business at the JS Group. With some help from the older staff, Cherry had successfully closed two orders, a feat that astonished everyone in the sales department. It was a miracle for a new-comer to get two orders completed in half a month.

On hearing the news, Selina assumed that Cherry must be a talent, and she decided to retain her at the JS Group to prevent other companies from poaching her.

In the afternoon, while Cherry was occupied with her work, her mobile phone suddenly rang. Cherry glanced at the screen, and happily answered, "Hi, Wilson!"

"Cherry, are you busy?" carefully asked Wilson.

Cherry said, "What's up? Has something happened?"

"Can you go to the airport after you finish work? I'm picking up Joe now, and afterwards we'll head for the airport. My father and Aunt Elsa will arrive at 7 o'clock, " answered Wilson.

Immediately, Cherry was startled, and thought, 'Right! Mom and Uncle Jacob are due to arrive today! How could I forget?'

"Okay, Wilson, but I still have to stay at work for a while longer. I'll meet you at the airport, " hastily answered Cherry.

"Well, there's no need to rush. Take it easy, you have time, " replied Wilson.

"Right, okay. I'll call you once I'm there."

"Alright!"

After she hung up the phone, Cherry hastened to finish her work. When it was time to leave, her other colleagues were already gone, and Cherry quickly cleared her desk, grabbed her handbag, and then left the company.

Cherry drove all the way to the airport, and when she arrived, she saw her lovely baby cheerfully running to her.

Joe rushed to Cherry, and he threw a tantrum. He asked, "Mommy, why are you so late?"

"Am I too late? Have your grandpa and grandma already arrived?" anxiously asked Cherry.

Wilson walked up to her, and promptly answered her, "No, not yet. We came too early, so we've been waiting here."

Cherry took out her phone and looked at it. It was only 6 pm, and after she breathed a sigh of relief, she said, "Thank God I've caught up."

Cherry then looked at her son in her arms, and asked, "Joe, have you been waiting for long?"

He nodded heavily, and answered her, "Yes, mommy, I'm already hungry!"

When she saw that her son was getting more pettish by the minute, Cherry said, "Alright, alright! We'll have a big meal after your grandpa and grandma arrive, okay?"

Joe immediately answered, "Great! Hurray! I wanna have fried rice with eggs, mommy!"

"Well, anything you want, " said Cherry.

Wilson looked at them, and with a smile on his face, said, "Okay, let's go inside and wait for them."

"Okay, " nodded Cherry. She held her little treasure's hand and entered the airport with Wilson beside her.

They waited for a long time, and when the two familiar figures came into sight, Joe couldn't help but cry, "Grandpa! Grandma!"

When they heard Joe's voice, Jacob and Elsa cast their eyes towards the direction of the sound, and saw the three of them together.

Elsa delightedly said to Jacob, "It's Joe!"

Jacob put his arm around Elsa's shoulders, and said, "Yep, I see him. Let's go to them."

Cherry eagerly walked up to Elsa, and as she embraced her mother, she cheerfully said, "Mom, you're finally back! I was dying to see you!"

"So was I, my silly little girl. Anyway, I had to wait until your Uncle Jacob settled down his business there, " graciously Elsa said. Her daughter had always acted like a spoiled child in front of her.

"Yeah, tell me about it!" childishly said Cherry.

After she left her mother's arms, she said to Jacob, "Welcome back, Uncle Jacob!"

"Ah, thank you, my dear!" He regarded Cherry as his own daughter, and he knew that she was the most precious treasure in his wife's mind. He was also fond of her, and of her own little darling, Joe.

After he greeted his father, Wilson looked at Elsa, and said, "Welcome back, Auntie Elsa! Let's have dinner first, because Joe's already starving, and then we'll go home together. You and my father can move in your own house after it's finished cleaning, but for a couple of days you can live at my villa."

Elsa gladly answered, "Right, okay, " and continued to praise Wilson, "You're always so considerate! Maybe we could just live together all the time in the same house. Things would then be more convenient for all of us, and I could also see little Joe every day."

Wilson didn't know how to reply, and instead he glanced at Cherry, and thought that if she agreed, then he would turn out to be very happy. He had done everything just for her.

Facing such an embarrassing situation, Cherry didn't want to give any opinion on the matter, and instead quickly said, "Mom, Uncle Jacob, let's go and have dinner now! Joe's been hungry for a long time already."

"Absolutely! Grandpa, grandma, I'm starving!" added Joe.

"Okay, let me take my grandson to dinner, " said Jacob, as he scooped Joe up from the ground into his arms. The whole family then left the airport together.

After they had their happy dinner, they all went home together.

Before going to bed, Elsa brought Cherry to the balcony, and wanted to know if her daughter was getting along well after her return from abroad.

Elsa worriedly asked, "Cherr, you can tell mom now everything. How are you these days?" She knew that her daughter was straightforward and stubborn all the time, and was afraid that Cherry would get into some kind of trouble.
