Chapter 890 A Talk Between Father And Son (Part Two)

"I know Violet. She will come back as I said to him," replied Selina. She was quite confident about

Violet's coming back as she knew that Violet had only loved Greg and she would come back to him.

In the Lu family's villa, Derek was quietly smoking on the sofa. Amy was sitting next to him and thinking

about something. Alice, who was snuggling herself to her Mother, was worried too.

"Daddy, what on earth should we do now to this tricky situation we are in? Who can help Greg at this

time?" Alice asked. In the face of such grievous news, both she and Tim had no idea what to do to help

him.

Derek said, "Mike has had his men guarding the Xiao family, so they are safe and no more in danger

now. As for Sharon, there is nothing we can do except arranging her funeral. Fred..." He didn't continue

his words.

"All we can do is to pray for him so that he comes out of the pain quickly," said Amy. She actually didn't

care for Sharon, but she was worried more about Greg. After all, Greg is a good man and the husband

of Violet.

"Daddy, when will Lawrence come back?" Alice suddenly asked.

"I don't know, dear. He won't tell us even if he is coming back," said Derek. He knew Lawrence well.

The young man wouldn't tell others about his plan.

"I hope he could come back to the city soon. Even though Mike is powerful, I still believe that only

Lawrence could solve all the problems," Alice said with expectation in her voice.

......

Three weeks later, on a stone bench of a park in the suburb two men were sitting.

Lawrence was gazing at the sight just before him.

"Boy," Jackson gently called him out.

"Yes, Dad?" answered Lawrence.

"Violet is in a much better condition now, what do you plan to do next?" Jackson asked. Lawrence had

stayed here for a long time because of Violet' s health. Now that she was well, Jackson wanted to know

what Lawrence was planning to do next.

"I think, I'll go back to the city tomorrow," said Lawrence, as he turned to look at his Dad.

"Have you told your mother about going back?" Jackson asked. He felt surprised and thought that

maybe Cherry also felt the same.

"Not yet, I am going to tell her tonight," said Lawrence. His heart was aching. Leaving his family was

the last thing that he was willing to do. It seemed that what had happened when he was fifteen was

going to happen again. However, he also had someone he loved and cared for waiting for him in the

city. Besides, he had so many other things to deal with.

"Okay," Jackson nodded and put his hand on his son's shoulder. He then slightly sighed and said, "You

have grown up now. I'll make you in charge of the JC Group, you can do everything you want and

make it more successful. I believe that you can do better than I have done."

"Dad, really? What makes you have so much trust in me?" Lawrence asked.

Jackson looked in his eyes and smiled, "My best fortune in life was to have your Mommy in my life.

What she has given to me is you and Violet both. You are both very good and capable kids. In fact, you

are my pride and joy.

Vivid memories of the time spent with his family flashed in Lawrence's mind all the while that he was

listening to his Dad. Every moment he had spent with his family had been joyful.

"Do you remember what had happened when you were five years of age? That was the first time that I

had got to see you. Your mother and I hadn't broken deadlock at that time," Jackson recalled the

memory.

"I remember that you had come to see me in the JS Group after Aunt Selina had told you about us."

Lawrence kept that part of his memories fresh in his heart even now.

"Yes. I remember I felt both surprised and thrilled when I first saw you. I was surprised because I hadn't

expected to have a five-year-old child, my son. I was thrilled because you are the proof of the love

between your Mommy and me," Jackson said as a smile showed up in his face. It seemed that

happiness was lingering around him.

"Dad, we all have gone through so many ups and downs in our lifetime. I saw Mommy working really

hard; I saw how you have loved Mommy; I saw Violet laughing; I saw we were all having dinner

together. I remember all our past that is over now," Lawrence turned to talk in a low voice, "Now, it

seems everything is in serenity. Both Violet and I have grown up but you and Mommy have aged."

Lawrence hadn't called Cherry ''Mommy'' for a long time now. He himself had no idea when he had RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

changed from Mommy to Mother in front of others. Time just flew away.

"Well, none of us could carry on regardless of the time," Jackson sighed. He then didn't want to talk

about time and aging anymore, so he changed to another topic, "When Violet is better and willing to

come back, the three of us will return. Then we can stay together forever."

"Really?" Lawrence was a bit surprised at that statement. He had never influenced or said no to any of

Jackson's decisions. When he heard such exciting news, he acted like a child, who was watching his

father with esteem and admiration.

"Yes, your mother has made up her mind. She has been longing to go back," Jackson nodded and

said.

"Then you come back as soon as possible. You know that Lily and Bill are waiting for you," Lawrence

said. Actually he himself also wished that his Dad and Mom would come back as soon as possible.

"Lawrence," said Jackson in a grave voice, "Before that, your Mom and I need to help Violet change

and improve herself after all that has happened. We owe her too much. As long as she wants to study

and improve her abilities, I'll try my best to help her out."
