Chapter 926 Family Will Return (Part Two)


    Cherry felt bad for her son. She sighed and replied, "No, don''t worry. I don''t think we will leave again.


    Our home is there and that''s where we''ll stay. Your father has already handled all international affairs of


    the JC Group. After everything goes well, he will transfer his power to you. Then we will both retire." As


    she said this, she was worried for her son. She knew how stressful this was all going to be for him. But


    at the same time, she knew that Lawrence was ready. She knew that her son was capable enough to


    handle the things that will be handed down to him. Besides, something could only be decided by her


    son.


    Lawrence closed his eyes and took a deep breath, promising, "Okay, mother. You and father should


    just stay at home and enjoy your lives. I will handle ourpany, I will make sure to continue all that


    you and father worked hard for."


    "Wow! Very confident," Cherryughed as she lightened the mood.


    This made Lawrence smile more. He pictured his mother smiling andughing and it made him look


    forward to seeing her again.


    Cherry then proudly said, "My baby, my son. Lawrence, don''t worry. I''ll be with you from now on. We


    won''t be apart anymore. We''re family and we will always be together."


    "Yes, mother. I agree. We won''t be apart anymore." Lawrence''s voice broke as he continued, "I can''t


    wait to see you, father, and Violet again."


    They finished off their conversation with a good bye. Lawrence looked outside and felt rxed and


    contented. He could not help but smile. His family had always made him feel safe. They had always


    given him the support that no one else could provide. He longingly reminisced his memories with them.


    His memories of his childhood was not all clear. But he vividly remembered the time when he was just


    five years old and he was living abroad with his mother. His mother had always been strong and


    independent. She raised him on her own, refusing the help of her own parents. She was the most hard


    working woman he knew. His uncle often apanied them, acting just like his father. Back then,


    Lawrence had hoped that his uncle could truly be his father. But he never mentioned that to his mother,


    because he did not want to annoy her. He also did not want to force her to do anything she did not want


    to. To help his mother, he observed everything quietly. He considered things carefully. He learned from


    all these. He was very determined to be the best because he believed that this was the only way he


    could help his mother. This was the only way to relieve her of some of the burden she was carrying


    alone.


    After they returned to the city, they met his father. Lawrence saw the tears and the smiles of his mother.


    He finally saw her happy. His father had been a very powerful man since then. He grew up with a loving


    mother and an influential father. He also met his great-grandfather who had spoiled him too much.


    Looking back now, he realized he could not remember his great-grandpa''s face. Try as he might, it was


    all vague. But he remembered clearly how much his great-grandpa loved him and it made Lawrence


    miss him terribly.


    Lawrence treasured all the time he spent with his mother. But there came a time when he made


    mistakes. He was young and he could not forgive himself. He felt ashamed so he ran away and gone


    abroad. When he saw his little sister crying, it felt like a knife cutting through his heart. He wanted to


    take away Violet''s pain, he wanted to give her all the happiness she deserved. She was their little


    princess, the apple of his family''s eyes. He hated anyone who caused her harm. But he was sad that


    he had unintentionally and indirectly caused her childhood suffering and he could never forgive himself


    for that. He knew that the ident had totally changed Violet''s life.


    Lawrence could not handle his regrets. He knew he should make up for them, but he did not know how

    to face his little sister. Therefore he ran away and left his family. He had been a coward. But when he


    was living alone, he missed his mother terribly. He had always wished to be with his family again. He


    knew he had taken for granted all of the things and all of the people he loved the most.


    Lawrence eventually grew up and became matured through it all. He became stronger. Everything was


    changing and time flew by, and before he knew it, he was a different person. He learned a lot and had


    been even more powerful. But deep in his heart, he was still longing for his family. They were still the


    most important people in his life.


    Standing on the balcony, Lawrence smiled wistfully as he remembered it all. He lost track of time and


    forgot about where he was and who was waiting for him. He was brought back by the vibration of his


    phone in his pocket. He shook his head and looked at his phone. He saw that it was a text from Mike.


    Lawrence suddenly recalled that he was still in the bar and that Mike was downstairs waiting for him.


    He read his friend''s text, "Greg is here. We''re waiting for you in the private room. Come back down


    after you''re done."


    Lawrence had to read the text over before he understood. He remembered their conversation from


    earlier, before his mother called. Sighing, Lawrence put his phone back in his pocket. He calmed down


    and turned to leave.


    Lawrence did not need to ask which room Mike was talking about. He knew where they were. There


    was a room in the bar they had always used privately. It was a room they could take whenever they


    wanted and it was only given to them.


    So Lawrence went to their private room. He opened the door and stepped inside. Mike and Greg were


    already drinking by the time he got there.


    Mike looked up as Lawrence entered, "Hey, you''re back."


    Greg immediately asked, "Hey, Lawrence. What''s going on? Mike told me you were pissed." As


    Lawrence sat in front of him, Greg looked at him and continued, "But you don''t look pissed at all?"


    Mike was still looking at Lawrence. He fixed his gaze on his friend, his brow furrowed. Lawrence''s face


    looked cold, as usual, but he did not look angry anymore.


    Bemused, Mike tilted his head and asked, "What happened? Why the sudden change? You don''t look


    as terrible as you were earlier. You has been so sad and angry. I guess that phone call changed your


    mood?" Mike badgered on, "Come on, tell us. Was that Aria? Was she the one who called you? So will


    she be going here?"


    Lawrence had no ns of exining what happened. He just looked straight ahead as he drank from


    his ss.


    Greg decided to implore some more, "Look, Lawrence, you don''t have to be angry because of Aria. I


    assure you that she will eventuallye to you. She won''tst a week without seeing you. We all know


    how much she loves you."


    Mike looked at Greg and nodded, "Yes, he''s right. Aria''s obviously yearning for you. How could she


    possibly decide to leave you?"


    They were taking turns as they tried to persuade Lawrence. Greg was nodding as he added, "Just look


    at it this way, Aria''s angry with you because of your affair with Anna. Why would she be angry if she''s


    not jealous, right? So it''s evident that she cares for you very much."


    Again, Mike quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, that''s correct. I mean it makes sense, Lawrence.


    You''re right, Greg. Quick thinking, huh."


    Greg looked at Mike and smiled, "You know I think I''ve learned a lot from you. I hope I could still learn


    more."


    Lawrence rolled his eyes and wanted to kick them both out. He could not bare to hear them ttering


    each other. He noticed Greg''s smile. Suddenly, he hesitated. He wondered whether he should tell Greg


    that Violet would be back soon.
