The room was quiet and breathed in her scent.
Lola laid with her head on his shoulder while absently playing with a button on his shirt.
She wondered if they were finally past the difficulties and if they would enjoy happiness.
Harry kissed her hair and asked, "Have I told you?"
"Hmmm?" Lola raised her head looking at him suspiciously.
Harry looked at her with gentleness and said seriously, "Lola, I love you."
... Her heart skipped a beat at his words.
The affection on his face made him even more attractive and moved her.
She replied flatly, "I don't love you."
His heart sank, but after a few moments he said, "That doesn't matter, It's enough that I love you," he
paused smiling, "Besides, you will fall in love with me." His face was calm, his eyes gleamed, but his
tone was arrogant.
"That will depend on your actions!" She uttered and stood up then went to lie on her bed.
However, it was inappropriate to be lying there on the bed.
So she hurriedly stood up, but it was too late. He had already closed the distance between them.
He did not fall on her, instead he lay next to her and held her in his strong arms.
"I want to arrange that our wedding is on my birthday." He whispered the words into her ear. A large
wedding ceremony needs time and energy to prepare.
His birthday? She did not recall celebrating his birthday before. She felt ashamed.
His birthday was on November 9th, so he was a Scorpio.
His birthday was still a long way off. Lola didn't mind the wait, as long as she could marry him, any day
would be perfect.
She nodded her head, "Okay, you go ahead with the arrangements!" They would have wedding photos,
hee-hee.
She was excited thinking about having wedding photos of the two of them.
She thought about how handsome he is and felt a pride about appearing in photos with him.
She put her arms around his neck and said, "I thought you wanted to hide our marriage." She said it on
purpose to upset him.
Harry laughed, "No, I don't. Besides, everybody in the world now knows that you, Lola, are my woman.
Everyone will think I am stingy if I don't give you a large wedding ceremony." Of course, this was not
the reason why Harry would hold the wedding ceremony. Every man in the world wants his wife to be
happy.
Lola raised her eyebrow, "So you're giving me the ceremony because you want to show how generous
you are?" If he said yes, she would not agree to marry him! She hoped he didn't agree.
Harry changed his position so he could hold her in his arms, "Of course not, it is because I love you!"
He was so clever! Just admit it, all women like to hear sweet words.
They whispered for a while, before hearing someone knock the door. Nicole's tender voice from the
other side called out, "Daddy, Mommy, why didn't you take me with you?"
Hearing Nicole's words, Lola giggled, which drew Harry's attention.
He put his big palm on her neck and held Lola near him. He kissed her red lips without asking.
After stealing his kiss, he got up and opened the door for Nicole.
Lola's face was flushed. She hurriedly stood up and walked toward the door.
Nicole was standing alone. Harry scooped his little girl in his arms and kissed her on both cheeks.
"Daddy? will you take a walk with me?" Nicole was asking excitedly, "We can take Mommy too and
walk outside!"
Harry saw there was still more than two hours before dinner so, he brought Lola and Nicole, as they left
the house, Joseph and Wendy joined them for a walk outside.
The atmosphere was harmonious as they walked through the town and in the mall. When they arrived
at the hotel the engagement party had not yet begun.
In the Five-star hotel.
Harry had ordered the private room in advance. The seating arrangements had the two most senior
members together, with Harold and Kevin on their left and right sides. Then Harry, Nicole and Lola.
Angie was seated next to Jordan and Wendy, which meant Lola and Wendy were together.
The atmosphere of the dinner was amicable. It was not influenced by Rose being absent.
The dinner settled the engagement.
The wedding photos would be taken in the coming days, and the wedding day was finalized for
November 9th.
After dinner, as they left the hotel, Harry sent Lola and Nicole to the mansion.
Harry then drove his grandfather to the Crescent Spring.
Outside the mansion.
Lola watched as Harry walked in the opposite direction. She had been reluctant to say goodbye, but
having Nicole with her tonight was a great comfort.
"I will call you when I am back." He had offered and kissed his wife and daughter's foreheads before
driving away.
Lola took Nicole upstairs. She was looking forward to telling her bedtime stories after Nicole's nighttime
routine.
Nicole was too excited to sleep for a while but eventually she fell sound asleep.
After a shower, Lola held her daughter while waiting for Harry to call.
Why hadn't he called? Bored, Lola browsed her phone.
It made her wonder, if Harry knew this, would he laugh at her? She missed him even though they were
just together.
She thought for several minutes. The cellphone startled her when it finally rang.
She picked up the phone pouting, "How come it took so long for you to call?"
He laughed. He was discussing the wedding with his father and just getting to his room now. "If you
missed me, why didn't you call me?"
Lola feigned helplessness, "I wanted to, but what if I had interrupted you and another woman?" What
then?
"Exactly so, but she just left. So, do you want to come join me now?" It was rare that Harry joked, how
could Lola not comply?
"Oh, I do not know." She teased, "I'm not sure you can handle so many women, Ah! I guess, I'd better
look for someone else." Her tone was of remorse and regret.
Harry rubbed his aching temple, and rolled his eye realizing, this woman was his Achilles' heel! "You
find one, I will eliminate him and if you find two, I will eliminate both!"
She could not help but to laugh, "Mr. Si, I'm cuckolding you! Just like the red-apricot, whose twig will
creep out of the wall." The image of Lola clambering away filled his mind.
"Honey, I will catch you if you do so." He spoke the words gently, but left a veiled threat tucked in them.
Lola immediately straighten her back. She absolutely knew that Harry was a vigorous and resolute
man, If he said he would come, he would.
She responded, "Boss Si, I'm sorry, I was wrong. You are so powerful, how dare I go out to find another
man?" She had compared herself to a red-apricot.
Harry nodded with satisfaction. He looked at the computer, a devilish smile growing on his face.
He spent the night in a hotel. Because the only two cleaned rooms were occupied by his father and
grandfather now.
"Let me see Nicole." He hung up the phone and made a video call through wechat.
Lola answered and put the camera on Nicole, who was sleeping soundly.
One minute later, "Ok, now I want to see you." This was his real purpose.
