"Kate," Cherry called softly, as she walked closer to Kate and hugged her.
Cherry's friendly hug relaxed Kate a little and the latter started to warm up.
Kate smiled at Cherry then said, "Mrs. Cherry, I know that you helped my daughter because of Emily. I will be forever grateful, for everything you have done." 'Aria is a diligent and very intelligent girl, but I couldn't afford to send her to a good school here in the city to further her studies. This is the opportunity that I won't be able to provide for my daughter even if I work nonstop. This is something that Aria must seize because only the Chu family can help her reach a better future, ' Kate thought to herself.
Chery shook her head and said, "No, don't get me wrong. I'm doing this for my son. He truly loves Aria that's why I offered to help her better herself abroad. That way when they decide to marry, the public won't criticize Aria." She was trying to maintain a poker face, so Kate wouldn't suspect. But Cherry was lying about the real reason.
Kate believed her and didn't ask any more questions. 'She really loves her son and would do anything for him. I can feel her because that's what I would do for Aria, ' she thought.
Cherry gave Kate a subtle smile and said, "Well, speaking of Emily, I have something for you to honor Emily."
"What is it?" Kate asked with a confused look on her face.
"I know that you have a medical background as a nurse. Do you still have your training certificates?" Cherry asked. She was a step ahead and had Kate investigated.

got her point. She clicked her tongue and explained further, "Look, Lawrence means everything to me, and I'm sure Kate feels the same way for Aria. But they lived a tough life so the least we could do is to help Aria and Kate. That would make Lawrence happy. I believe Emily would also be happy if she was alive."
After saying these, she looked out of the car window again and thought to herself, 'How I wish you're here, Emily. I miss you so much.'
With one hand on the steering wheel, Jackson held Cherry's hand and kissed it. 'She's always my queen, ' he thought.
"Honey," Cherry called while still looking out of the car window. "I hope we can live a wonderful life. You know, taking care of Mom and Uncle, and visit Amy and Derek when we want to. A life when we won't have to worry about our children. I want to prepare a grand wedding for Lawrence and Aria. As for Violet, I hope she gets pregnant soon so we can see our grandchildren."
"You should tell that to Violet instead of me," Jackson smirked.
They had been married for decades. They had been through ups and downs. Their marriage wasn't perfect, but it was a happy one. Their faces may show signs of aging, but their love remained true and sincere. They didn't say a word at each other, but the smile on their faces said it all.
