Chapter 543 Happy Laughter In The Living Room (Part Two)

Lily nodded in happy agreement,"Of course master. My lady takes such good care of me that I couldn't even think of leaving her. And my little master is so cute, I cannot bear the thought of leaving him either!"

Derek sighed,"Well it seems like love is all there is."

But Cherry didn't let that slide. Now that Derek was here, she wasn't going to let even one chance of bullying him, slip away. "She is never leaving us and she will never work for you Derek. You better make your peace with that," she said triumphantly.

Again, at a loss of words, Derek began to stammer,"You, Cherry...you both..."

Amy stood up,"Well, I better go upstairs. It is time for Joe's piano lessons and I don't want to delay him. You all continue, I'll just go."

"Alright!" said Cherry.

Amy hopped upstairs and she said,"See you all in a bit!"

Cherry turned to Jackson and said,"I don't mind if you and Derek want to go upto your study and discuss business. I'll be fine here, watch some TV."

She had been noticing Derek's fidgetiness since a while and figured that he probably wanted to talk to Jackson in private.

He continued,"If she doesn't return, she can actually start a new fresh life, in a new place. She can leave all this behind her and become a new person, wherever she goes." His voice echoed in the study, whereas Derek remained silent and listened.

"But most importantly, I know that with Sally gone, Cherry is completely safe. I have no feelings for Sally, but we were friends. I have known her since we were children and that means something to me. I don't love her but I would have never laid a finger on her.
