Ice and Fire novel Chapter 251

"Well, as long as Cherry and Joe are happy with it, " said Andrew cheerfully. 'It seems that the house will be more lively in the days ahead, ' thought Andrew, with a smile shining bright on his lips when Joe's cute face appeared in his mind.

Jackson looked at his Grandpa, and after he pondered something for a while longer, said to him, "Grandpa, I still have something else to tell you."

"Okay, just speak out you mind. You don't need to be constrained in front of me in any way, " said Andrew, clearly in a good mood.

"I'm planing to bring Bill and Lily here and to dismiss the other housekeepers, all except for our butler, so that he can keep you company and always be at your side. What do you think about that?" After Jackson finished his words, he turned his eyes to the butler who was standing beside his Grandpa.

The butler happened to look into his eyes at that moment, but he immediately lowered his head and averted his sight from Jackson because of his terrifying stare. It was obvious that Jackson had said those words to warn him, because no useless person could stay in the Chu household.

Andrew pondered what Jackson said, and replied, "Of course you can bring them here, but you don't have to dismiss the housekeepers. We have enough money for all the servants, so you don't need to worry about that."

But Jackson didn't listen to his words, and carried on to say, "Grandpa, I'm just afraid that it will be inconvenient for us with so many people around there if Cherry and Joe come back. Lily is enough for the whole house."

When he saw how persistent his beloved grandson was, Andrew decided to allow him. As he shook his hand, he said, "Fine, fine, do what you want."

"Thank you, Grandpa, " said Jackson. "I'll drive Cherry and Joe here this afternoon."

"Alright, alright. By the way, you don't have to clean the room, the housekeepers do that everyday. All you have to do is to move in, " said Andrew happily.

"Okay."

After he left the family residence, Jackson went straight to the JS Group.

Inside the JS Building, he took the chairman's elevator to Selina's office on the top floor.

Selina didn't have too much work to do in the morning. While she was sitting in the office?with nothing to do next, she started to sort through the document about the new ZM Group and perused.

All of a sudden, the elevator's doors opened, something which caught Selina's attention. She looked out of her office and saw that it was Jackson.

Selina immediately stuck the materials into a drawer, closed it, and then stood up to greet Jackson.

Jackson didn't notice what Selina had just done. He walked into her office and sat on the sofa.

"Brother, why are you here? Tell me, you miss my sister, am I right?" said Selina with a smile on her face.

"What is she doing now?" asked Jackson peacefully.

Selina's secretary Caroline then came in with a cup of tea in her hands, and she put it on the table in front of Jackson.

"I suppose she's working now, " replied Selina, who sat down opposite to Jackson. She said to Caroline, "Tell Cherry to come up."

"Yes, Miss Selina, " said Caroline respectfully, and nodded.

After Caroline went out, Jackson focused his attention onto Selina, and asked, "Are you busy today?"

"No, I'm not at all busy these days. There aren't too many things to do, " said Selina lightly. The only thing that she had to do was to wait for the party next week. Selina wished that she had the chance to meet the president of the ZM Group, and that she might get the opportunity to establish a business partnership with the ZM Group. She believe that if things went well, the JS Group could become even more stronger in the future.

"It's the same with Cherry, right?" asked Jackson.

"Yes, but now she doesn't need to go out to solicit business deals by herself anymore. The deputy director also helps her with her work, and she's also quite free, " answered Selina. She then suddenly found something behind Jackson's words, and said, "Oh, brother, so the one you care about is actually my sister! You never care about me or how I feel!"

"You tell me, " said Jackson with a proud look in his eyes while looking outside the window.

"You..." Selina pretended to look at Jackson irate, speechless with fury.

"I have something to tell you, I'll be moving back to the family residence with Cherry, " said Jackson, sounding unsurprised and looking expressionless.

"What?" Selina was obviously shocked by what Jackson had just said to her. "Move to the family residence?"

Jackson looked curiously at Selina, and asked in a cold tone, "Do you have any problems with that?"

"No, no, " replied Selina immediately, "The family residence is your home too. You can do whatever you like, just do it, I have nothing against that."

Jackson didn't give her any more details.

Realizing that Jackson was looking at the scenery outside the window, Selina continued to say, "I just felt a little bit confused about your decision. Why do you want to move back to the family residence when you already have such a comfortable villa to live in?"

"Because it will be more convenient for us to take better care of Grandpa Andrew. He's old now, and he needs someone to take good care of him, " said Jackson.

"But the butler and all those housekeepers live there, they can do that for you. And you're most of the time away from home. Is there any difference between moving back and not coming back?" said Selina.

Jackson got a little bit angry with Selina's words, and snapped at her, "Are you ignoring my existence?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that, " said Selina. She quickly sat beside Jackson and put up a smiling face to please him. Selina was afraid of Jackson's furious grimace, and every time he snapped, she began to tremble in her heart with fear.

"But it's also a good choice that you decided to go back there. Anyway, the house will be much more lively if you live together with Andrew, and Joe will also have more time to play with his friends in the family residence yard!" Selina felt very happy, and thought, 'The family residence will be much more lively and fun in the following days, that's certain!'

Jackson knew that Selina was trying to cotton up with him, and he deliberately ignored her efforts.

At that time, Cherry also arrived at the top floor. Seeing that Cherry got out of the elevator and walked towards them, Selina immediately rose to her feet to greet her.

"Cherry, you're here!" said Selina, smiling.

Cherry came to Selina's side, held her hands, and said, "Yes, I am."

"I heard that you're going to move to Jackson's family residence. On behalf of the people of the family residence, I'm pleased to welcome you in our home, " smiled Selina, while looking at Cherry delighted.

"Thank you, sweetheart, " said Cherry, with a happy smile all over her face. She then asked, "But Selina, do you also live in the family residence, or do you live in your own apartment nowadays?"

"I live in my apartment, " answered Selina, "But now that you're also moving in, should I also return to the family residence as well?"

"Just come back! I can then come to your place and chat with you when I'm free, " said Cherry, with a smile painted all over her face. Except for Derek and Selina, she didn't know anyone else in the family residence compound.

"Okay, then it's settled! I'll also move back today!" said Selina happily.
