Joseph had a gut feeling that he should say something nice for Harry because he had given him a lot of
favors before. He thought that Harry wanted something in return.
However, he swallowed down whatever he was about to say. He just couldn't be untrue to himself.
Instead, he simply said, "It's Lola's own business. Why don't you ask her yourself? I don't know much
about it either!"
Jordan cast a cold glance at his restless brother and replied, "What's the use of you then? Don't you
know how to protect Lola? She's our sister, for God's sake!"
Joseph felt offended by his remarks. The truth was, he was not always in Ascea. His sister had always
had a wrong temper. She had always been a brave girl. The only person that could actually hurt her
was Harry.
The question was, what could he possibly do to confront Harry about this? He owed that guy a lot of
favors! He just couldn't ditch him like that. He had already given him a car and a flat. He sometimes felt
as if he was Harry's mistress because of how he spoiled him. Even the company he worked for now
belonged to Harry.
On second thought, he did feel like something was really wrong here. He realized that he could be just
a puppet for Harry.
One thing he was sure about was that Harry definitely loved his sister. There was no denying that. But
as it was their own private matter, he and his brother should just stay out of it. Harry and Lola were
already old enough to take care of their problems.
Joseph's mind had just turned to a clutter. He had not solved his own issue and yet here came his
sister's problem. He desperately needed some peace and solace!
Ignoring his elder brother's furious gazing, he stumbled out of the study and returned to his bedroom.
Lola tossed her wet clothes aside and stepped into the bathroom. She felt much better after a hot
shower but emotionally, she couldn't stop hurting just yet.
Thomas's expensive coat looked all ruined. She felt sorry for him and planned to buy a new one
tomorrow.
Wendy sat on the bedside with a hair dryer in her hand. Upon seeing Lola so lost in her thoughts, she
smiled and asked Lola to come closer so that she could dry her hair for her.
She was Lola's sister-in-law but she has always acted just like Lola's mother. Deep down, she felt
grateful for her family as both Lola and her mother-in-law treated her nicely. Wendy felt obliged to
return their kindness every now and then.
The room was quiet, and only the sound of the hair dryer could be heard. Lola didn't feel like talking at
all. Wendy respected that and didn't ask her questions either.
She knew that if Lola wanted to talk, she would have spit out everything a long time ago. It was
pointless for her to bother Lola with loads of questions if she was not in the mood of talking.
But tonight, Wendy will accompany her to sleep. She does not want Lola to be alone in her thoughts
right now. She looked at her healthy, flawless skin and smiled. "Sister-in-law, aren't you super happy
with my brother?" She could tell from her radiant aura that she was in a very happy marriage.
Wendy felt a bit shy and whispered, "Stop it. I would always feel happy once you and mother are
home!" As for her quiet and emotionless husband, she was not that into him!
Wendy blushed as a big smile uncontrollably spread over her face. Lola looked at Wendy and felt truly
happy for her. She has made the right decision back then! How lucky of her...
"Wendy, he won't give Nicole back to me. I miss my daughter so much." Lola finally opened up her
heart and shared her worries with Wendy.
On hearing her words, Wendy frowned and immediately felt sadder. It was really tough to deal with.
Harry was a man of power and limitless capabilities. They had no chance of winning in getting Nicole
back by force. It would be so pointless.
"Why don't you marry each other again?" It would be nice for both of them. Nicole would get to see
both her mother and father more often. More importantly, she would see them together.
Lola thought about marrying him again. However, his attitude was so nasty that it literally drove her
crazy! Besides, he had a new girl now. "I don't know why he was so into Lillian now. I don't know if he
really loves her, or he's just making a point." She murmured to herself.
As far as she knew, Lillian used to be in Dreles all the time. She couldn't understand why she would be
here. Lola was very confused.
"Lillian? Is this true?" Wendy remembered that lady. Long time ago, both Lillian and Lola were
recognized by the upper class of Dreles as the most beautiful women in the city.
Then Lillian faded from the stage. It was not until now that she showed up again. But it was just so
strange that she showed up as Harry's lover.
"You have no idea how much I hate him now. Yolanda was history but Lillian has taken over her role!"
She knew Harry was playing in the field all this time. She couldn't care less. However, both Yolanda
and Lillian were obviously serious in having a relationship with him.
Wendy tried to comfort her. "It is normal. Harry is a well-established man that there ought to be some
women around him trying to win his heart. It's something that you should learn to live with, Lola."
Yolanda and Lillian were two well-known names. She bet there were other women that Lola was not
even aware.
The most important thing here was Harry's attitude.
"I feel so bad now. He really drives me crazy with his attitude. When he showed his love and care to
me, I feel like standing on top of the world. I know he was not pretending it.
But when he was ruthless to me, his coldness could actually kill me. I know he was not pretending it
either! What was he thinking? How could he do that to someone he loves?" It was said that women's
hearts were impossible to guess. Harry's mind was even more difficult to read!
Lying on her side, Wendy gazed at Lola attentively and said, "Don't you think he acts like that because
he is mad at you for keeping Nicole away from him? The more he loved you, the more he felt wronged
by you. The feeling was so strong that eventually he lost control of his heart and all his emotions turned
into hatred! Lola, Nicole is his daughter." That would explain his indifferent attitude towards her.
Lola shook her head in confusion. It never occurred to her that Harry would be this mad. "He is just
overreacting! I did tell him the truth! I thought that he will be happy..." She frowned in distress.
The two women chatted until late that night but Lola was still depressed.
One of Wendy's ideas actually made sense that Lola should pretend dating another man. If Harry still
loved her, he would definitely act on it and prevent it from happening.
After all, Harry was known to be a dominating and selfish man. He wouldn't tolerate her being with
another man.
Lola decided to carry out this plan to see if Harry cared or not. If he turned her down again, she would
really give up forever.
By then, it was no longer his problem if she married another man or not. She deserved to be happy,
too.
Fair enough. It was now battle time for both of them!
The rain stopped the next morning. The weather was brilliant.
Lola went to the company in her brother's car.
To avoid remembering how hurt she was, she devoted herself into the tedious work. By lunch break,
she had some time to call Mrs. Herbert and successfully got the answers she needed.
In the beginning though, Mrs. Herbert was not willing to talk about Nicole. But as Harry did not
specifically forbid her from telling the truth, she gave out the address of Nicole's kindergarten school to
Lola.
Two days later, Lola flew to Uthana.
She didn't contact Harry for days. She missed her daughter to bits as she had not talked to her for
days. Those days were a torture for her.
But thanks to the address given by Mrs. Herbert, Lola finally saw her daughter in the kindergarten. She
became so excited that she burst into tears.
Her Nicole, her sweet baby!
Since she was a new face in the school, Lola had to explain to the teacher that she was Nicole's
mother. Nicole's tight embrace and happy smile eventually convinced the teacher.
She took her daughter by the hand and they left the kindergarten in a hurry. As soon as they left, the
teacher called Harry and explained what had happened.
Harry paused on hearing the news. Then he simply said, "All right."
He didn't need to know more. He has expected that this would happen. He ended the call.
He knew for sure that Lola would not be able to take Nicole with her. He didn't mind that they are
having a mother-and-daughter moment right now.
Lola did plan to sneak Nicole out of the country. She had a scheme that after lunch, she would take
Nicole straight to the airport.
However, her plan failed. Half way to the airport, her taxi was stopped by Harry's car. He came out of
nowhere!
The cold, murderous look in his eyes scared her!
... She and Nicole were immediately brought back to the mansion.
Inside the mansion.
The gate of the mansion were changed into two ebony planks. They looked taller and bigger. It seemed
like Harry had already learned his lesson.
Harry made it clear to the security team that not a single person should be given permission to leave.
With these words, he returned to the company to finish his work.
Lola wouldn't let the chance of taking her daughter home just slip away. However, as soon as she
approached the gate, the security team showed up and stopped her in time.
She had to return to the mansion with her daughter. There, they played some toys together. Lola even
took a bath with Nicole before putting her to sleep.
She fondly gazed at her sleeping face. Lola cherished every moment she had with Nicole. There were
so precious to her. Soon, they would be worlds apart again.
Just as Lola was about to doze off by the bed side, she was woken up by a gush of cool breeze. It was
already eleven in the evening.
She immediately opened her eyes only to find Harry standing next to her, gazing at her with no
emotions on his face.
Her vision was still blurred but she came to her senses within seconds.
She was now in Harry's room. He took her here by force.
She cast a look at her sleeping daughter and screwed up her courage to face Harry. Lola touched the
thing in her pocket as she bravely held up Harry's hand. Together, they walked out of the bedroom.
On the balcony.
The stars were shining in the dark sky like millions of diamonds. The cold sea breeze made Lola shiver.
Thinking about her next move, Lola felt cold sweat forming up on her forehead.
Harry was in a gray shirt. He looked relaxed as he leaned against the chair on the balcony.
Lola clenched her fist. She had to do this for the sake of her daughter! Without warning, she knelt on
one knee and said, "Harry, I am going to propose to you! I need you to marry me!"
... Harry was utterly speechless by Lola's move. He felt greatly offended by her proposal. This was the
least of his expectations.
He had no idea that he, as a man, would be proposed to by a woman like this!
Lola panicked and immediately became helpless. Judging from Harry's gloomy face, she had screwed
things up!
Before she realized anything, Harry grabbed her by the arm and lifted her up. He forced her against the
wall and snapped with a deep voice, "Lola, are you out of your mind?"
Lola dodged his angry gaze, pulled over his hand and forcefully put a plastic ring on his little finger. It
was a ring that she had brought from the children's toy store.
The ring was way too small for his finger. It stuck on the first knuckle.
Harry unbelievably looked at the plastic ring. He honestly could not feel more upset.
He took off the ring without saying anything. The next second, he tossed the ring into the deep ocean
with all his strength!
Lola looked at him with great disappointment. Her plan went through as she had expected.
She was not confident at all that her proposal would work. She had expected this, anyway. In order not
to waste money on the diamond ring if her proposal failed, she bought a plastic one just in case.
If Harry did agree to marry her, she wouldn't mind buying him a ten-carat diamond ring later on!
Staring at the endless ocean, Lola tossed her long hair back. Never mind, it still was worth trying!
She had it coming. Since it was a matter between she and Harry, she didn't feel ashamed at all!
Nobody would know.
The thought relieved her. Lola slowly walked back towards the bedroom. However, she was violently
stopped by Harry. He looked so dangerous as he forced her against the wall and snapped, "You! How
dare you insult me and just walk away? No way!"
... Lola was surprised by his accusation. She definitely didn't mean to insult him. Fine. Maybe her ring
was cheap. But she only bought it in case he turned down her proposal. A real diamond ring would be
a waste of money, wouldn't it? She was just being practical.
She shook her head and said with a depressed voice, "Mr. Lewis, please don't get me wrong. But I only
did that for the sake of Nicole. I just want her to be with her true parents."
What did she imply? That she only proposed to marry him for the sake of their daughter?
Harry grew angrier by her words. He leaned over, pressed his lips against hers and kissed her
ferociously as a punishment.
Lola pushed him away and ran out of the balcony.
He had just refused her proposal. So why did he kiss her then? What an idiot!
With a grin, Harry secretly put the thing he was supposed to throw into his pocket.
He paced up behind her and pulled her back once again. This time, he forced her to lie back in the
balcony chair.
"Douchebag! Douchebag! Let me go! Hey.... Oh."
Her screams eventually came to a halt as he had sealed her lips with his mouth. In the bedroom, Nicole
has turned around in her sleep. She had a sweet smile on her face.
She was dreaming about her parents. They were kissing. How sweetly embarrassing...
...
The night was long. No more talking was heard apart from muffled, gentle and sweet moans.
When dawn arrived, Harry carried the sleeping Lola into the bathroom. He also ordered his private jet
to wait in the mansion.
One hour later, Lola was carried to the bed on the plane while she was still sleeping.
She finally woke up from her sleep. Realizing that she was actually in the plane, Lola sat up
immediately. She ran to the plane window.
What the hell! That idiot had sent her back to Ascea. The plane had just landed on the land of the
Newman villa. Wow, he had done it again.
She saw her grandfather with crutches walking towards the plane.
Despite feeling weak in her leg muscles, Lola ran out of the plane to greet her grandfather. On her way
out, she grabbed her bag back from the female bodyguard.
"Grandfather!" Lola greeted him with a big smile as she helped him with the crutches. The two walked
back to the villa together.
Landon curiously looked at the plane as it took off and asked with squinting eyes, "Lola, whose plane
was that and where were you last night? You should always take a rest from time to time. Don't get too
caught up with work."
Lola was embarrassed by the questions. She thought about her excuses and explained, "I was on a
business trip to Uthana. I was needed at the headquarters there. As the returning fight was sold out,
the CEO sent me back through his private jet."
Landon nodded as if he was fully convinced. As they were walking towards the villa, he suddenly said
with a smile on his face, "Isn't the CEO Harry?"
... Her grandpa had such a sarcastic smile that Lola knew that he was playing tricks on her.
"Grandfather, I only went to check on Nicole." She said as she lowered her face in embarrassment.
On hearing Nicole's name, Landon paused. "Is Nicole coming back?" The real question was at the tip
of his tongue. He wanted to ask her when they would tie the knot again.
He heard rumors that Uthana would soon witness some good news. Harry was about to get engaged
with the eldest daughter of the Richardson family from Zugrurg. If that was the case, he would never
ever forgive Harry, even on his death bed!
Lola blinked her eyes. She hid her true feelings as she tried to comfort Landon. "Don't worry. We will
sort it out pretty soon. Harry still loves me. I can feel it." But she knew it was just her good wishes. The
truth was her proposal went through and he kissed her by force as a punishment. The thought made
Lola sad.
Landon was old enough to see through her lies. However, he didn't expose her as he simply said,
"You'd better be! No point in dragging the issue. You are an adult now, and I trust that you could make
the right decisions."
"Of course, grandfather." Lola sighed deeply to herself.
Time went by so fast. After some time, it was already a week later.
Lola suddenly realized that she still owed Thomas his suit and a dinner.
She took out her phone and dialed his number. He answered her call right away. It seemed like he was
waiting for her call all day. "Finally you called me! Hope you have not forgotten about the..."
On hearing his voice, Lola giggled. "I am sorry. I have been busy. How about a dinner with me tonight?"
"No problem!" He had been waiting for her invitation for days already. Thomas felt so excited.
