Chapter 947 A Delightful Family Reunion (Part One)

"I won't tell you," Violet refused to answer Greg's question deliberately as she clung her phone to her

chest. When she realized that Greg backed down a little, she swiped onto her phone screen to answer

the call and greeted in a merry tone, "Oh hello, Francis!"

Greg almost lost his temper when he heard it was a call from Francis. He would want to snatch the

phone out of his wife's hands but then controlled his emotions and took a deep breath to calm down.

'When did Francis start to be this close with my wife?' he thought to himself.

"Oh hey, Violet. So, when did you get back? How come you didn't tell me you would leave China for a

long time? And you know how I found out? I came to your house when I got back from Thailand and

they just told me you're all gone," Francis said without pausing to give Violet a chance to respond.

"Slow down, kid. We're all back in China now," Violet replied. Teasing Greg with a sly glance, she then

continued in a sweet voice, "Hey Francis, you want to come over to my place for some fun? I'll buy you

dinner to make it up to you." Violet purposely changed her tone to make Greg jealous.

Greg pulled a long face upon hearing those words from Violet because it seemed to him that his wife

was flirting with another man in front of him.

On that moment, Greg could no longer control his emotion and immediately grabbed the phone from

Violet's hand and interrupted, "Hello, Francis. This is Greg speaking. What do you want to talk about

with my wife?"

"Oh, hi Greg. Actually, nothing important, I..." Greg suddenly cut him off.

"Okay, then there's no reason for you to call my wife. Good bye and don't ever call back," Greg said

and finally hung up the phone and handed it back to his wife.

"Greg, what are you doing? It's not polite to cut someone off and hung up on them. Francis didn't even

get the chance to explain," Violet complained as she took the phone from Greg and put it back in her

bag.

"This will be the last time that I'll tell you this. Stop associating with other men especially that Francis,"

Greg demanded, pointing his index finger at Violet as if he was her boss that must be obeyed at all

cost.

"But what if I insist on associating with other men? What will you do?" Violet challenged Greg.

"We'll find out by then," Greg sarcastically answered. He then pulled Violet closer and looked into her

eyes. He was desperately trying to make Violet feel that she was his wife and no other man should look

at her the way he did.

Violet, on the other hand, relished seeing the anxious look on Greg's face. She felt glorified knowing

that Greg was jealous and terrified to lose her. A sweet smile crossed her face while looking into her

husband's eyes and she then said, "Greg, tell me you love me."

"Telling you how much I love you won't be enough. I'd rather prove it to you with my actions," Greg

teased, trying to arouse Violet with his hands caressing Violet's back. He pulled her closer with his chin

resting on her shoulder and he whispered, "There's a restroom at the back. I want to sex you up."

"No, I'm not in the mood," Violet said firmly even though deep down she wanted to feel Greg inside her

again. But certainly not in Greg's office. Besides, she didn't want to use jealousy to turn Greg on. "All

right, no more jokes. You seriously need to get back to your work. As for me, I'll stay here and surf the

internet with your computer," Violet proposed as she helped herself in Greg's desk.

"That sounds like a good idea," Greg shrugged in defeat. He picked up the files from his desk, walked

to the sofa, and sat comfortably. He started reading the files with his legs crossed.

And neither spoke a word since. Greg was engrossed studying the documents in his hands, while

Violet watched a South Korean TV series in Greg's computer with a headset. She didn't want to distract

Greg from what he was doing so she was very careful not to make any noise.

The members of the Yuwen Family were at the entrance of the villa waiting for someone. Elsa, Jacob,

Selina, and Wilson were all looking at the direction of the driveway anticipating a car to arrive.

"Where could Cherry be? Why isn't she here yet? So as Lawrence and Violet," Elsa murmured

restlessly. She was excited to see her daughter and grandchildren but started to worry that they

wouldn't show up.

"Mom, just relax. They will be here soon, I know that. Lawrence is just finishing up something in the

office right now and will be here by noon. Violet and Greg are on their way here from the hospital and

will arrive by noon, as well. But as for Cherry and Jackson, they left early and should have been here

by now. I'm not sure what's taking them so long to get here," Selina told her mother.

Jacob noticed that Elsa was starting to get uneasy and tried to calm her down. "I'm certain that they'll

come. I called Cherry this morning and she said that they'll be here by lunch. Maybe they just run into

something while on their way."

"She didn't bother to visit me as soon as she came back, and when I asked her to come here early, she Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

dared to still be late. What a heartless child I have," Elsa remarked. "At least Lawrence was kind

enough to visit his old Grandmother as soon as he got back."

Selina and Wilson glanced at each other and shrugged. They didn't know what else to say to defend

Cherry.

"Mom, just calm down and be patient. I'm sure Cherry didn't intend to be late. She'll be here," Wilson

assured his mother.

They waited by the entrance for quite some time until they saw a car from a distance driving towards

the driveway.

Cherry immediately saw Wilson from the car as they drove to the driveway. She held Jackson's arm in

excitement and said, "Honey, look! Mom and Uncle Jacob are waiting for us."

"I can see that very well," Jackson replied. He peered through the windshield to see who else were

waiting and glanced to Cherry and asked, "Are you happy to see them?"

"Of course, I am. I haven't seen my mother for a long time. And I miss everybody so much," said

Cherry, holding Jackson's arm more tightly as they drove closer.

As soon as Jackson pulled over by the villa's entrance, Cherry quickly opened the door and stepped

out of the car.

"Hi, Mom and Uncle Jacob," Cherry greeted as she briskly walked towards them. She then hugged

Elsa tightly.

Elsa hugged Cherry back and said, "Oh my sweet child, alas you're here." She missed her daughter so

much and looked forward to the day when she could hug her again.

Cherry loosened her hug with Elsa and turned to Jacob to greet him, "Hi, Uncle. How are you doing?"

"I'm doing well, Cherry. Thank you," replied Jacob. He was likewise glad to see Cherry back.

Selina greeted Jackson with a peck on the cheek then crossed her arms pretending to be angry and

said, "So, why didn't you tell us you were coming back yesterday?"
