Harry stood up from his chair as he dived deep into his thoughts.
Joey explained everything in detail for him.
At first, the school boy did not dare to tell the truth as he was scared it would cause him unnecessary
trouble. He was fearful of his own life. Eventually, he spit it all out as he was under so much pressure.
That very day, as he was doing his homework on the balcony, he noticed a masked man climb to the
window of the second floor. This caught his attention immediately. It was rather strange. He looked
closer and saw the man take something out of his pocket and aim it into the room.
The next second, he heard a huge explosion of a gun. Out of panic, he hid underneath the window and
only popped his head out a little bit to see what just happened.
A second explosion came. The masked man threw the weapon inside the room, closed the window and
fled the scene immediately.
......
The office had an awkward silence. It was so uncomfortable. Joey noticed Harry's face having mixed
feelings.
Joy, guilt, excitement and agony.... Harry's expression was a bit bizarre.
Harry remembered her mother's movements the moment she was dying. She was not pointing at Lola,
but she was actually pointing at the window behind her!
That little fool! Why didn't Lola explain everything to him!
However, back then, no matter what she said, he would automatically treat all her words as lies!
"Comply with the police to investigate the masked man. As for the school boy, give him a lucrative
scholarship to ensure that he goes to key universities. If he wishes, he may come and work for my
company directly after his graduation."
Joey pictured this out in admiration as he knew from this moment onwards, the boy has a splendid life
in front him...
The he heard Harry's deep voice murmur to himself. "What can I do to make up to her?" He accused
her of something that she never did. She would never forgive him!
Joey felt sorry for him as he said with hesitation, "Boss, it is hard to tell. Your girl is not an ordinary one!
You really have to do something special this time." She was so hard to deal with!
Harry gave him a bitter smile. Joey was right about it. He had a lot of difficulties coming his way. What
he needed right now was enough patience and a strong heart!
Two days later, Harry took Nicole to A Country. He brought her back to the Li family.
Later, Lola learned from Wendy that Jordan and Harry had a fight that day.
Nicole was then left at the Li family for a couple days as Harry went to the cafe and left for C Country
afterwards.
As usual, Lola returned to the villa. At the gates, she thought she heard Nicole's voice. But she didn't
pay attention to it as she thought that she was just daydreaming.
Was it an illusion? Did she miss Nicole that much?
As she walked into the living room, she saw a girl playing with the baby and she was no other than but
her Nicole!
"Nicole?" She must be at her wildest dreams! How come Nicole was here, right at her home? This was
impossible!
Nicole sprang up and dashed towards her. She was screaming endlessly with excitement: "Mommy,
mommy!" It was indeed her Nicole!
"My dearest baby, how come you are here? Who sent you here?" She embraced her girl warmly and
noticed that she had grown quite a lot since the last time they met.
Nicole cuddled her arms around her neck in excitement as she answered her mother with a sweet
voice, "Daddy sent me here. He said I can stay with granny for a couple of days!"
Lola was quite confused at her words. Why would Harry send Nicole back here? This was really
random and out of the blue.
Just then, Harold and Angie came home. They saw the puzzled look on Lola's face and felt amused. It
seemed that Harry had not contacted her yet. Angie walked up towards her daughter and explained,
"Harry came in today to apologize to us. Your brother even had a fight with him."
.....
So this meant that Harry had investigated the whole incident and got the truth?
Lola was lost in her thoughts. With a hesitant smile upon her face, she wondered if she was no longer a
murderer in his eyes...
"How is my brother now?"
Harry might be fit and strong but her brother was one of the elite soldiers of the army. So it was hard to
tell who would win the fight.
Angie thought about what happened earlier in the study and sighed. "Your brother is fine. Harry did not
fight back much. He left our home with bruises all over his body."
At first, Angie was kind of relieved when her son beat Harry up. Then she felt sorry for him when she
saw that he was not really fighting back. So she separated them in time.
Harold was still mad with Harry as he said scolded his daughter. "No matter what Harry says or does, I
will not forgive him easily!" He could not let it go as Harry has hurt his daughter so much!
Lola, with Nicole in her arms, sat quietly next to the cradle. Her mind was heavy with her thoughts.
She could not forgive him. She simply could not...
Nicole jumped out of her arms and ran towards the cradle. There, she had fun with the baby.
At that moment, Jordan walked downstairs. He saw Lola sitting there with mixed feelings on her face.
He said nothing and just walked past her.
He joined Nicole as they teased the baby in the cradle.
That night, Lola and Angie patted Nicole to sleep. After she felt asleep, they talked for a long time. It
was a good mother and daughter time for both of them. They have not done this for a while now.
Making up her mind, Lola texted Thomas the next day: "I finally cleared my name!"
Thomas stared at his phone for a long time when he received her message. After all, the man had
found out the truth.
So, that was the end of his story. She was no longer his.
"Congratulations! You need to do some preparations as I am going to meet with your parents pretty
soon. I wish to hold the wedding as soon as possible. "
Lola's heart skipped a beat as she read his message. She dug out the ring he gave to her the day he
proposed. She got it out from her bag. Staring at it with a heavy heart, she replied with just a single
word:
"Okay."
Thomas was delighted when he received her confirmation. Although deep inside him, he knew she had
hesitated.
Lola was about to put away her phone when Nicole walked in with a happy smile. "Mommy, it's time for
dinner."
Lola smiled back as she put away both her phone and the ring. She looked at Nicole lovingly and
wanted to tell her something. She thought it would be nice to introduce Thomas to her before the
wedding.
"Nicole, do you remember an uncle named Thomas Herren?" Lola hesitatingly asked her daughter in a
soft voice.
Nicole nodded as she remembered him.
Gathering up her courage, Lola finally put the question forward. "If mommy marries him, would you like
to call him daddy?"
Nicole quickly shook her little head and refused right away. "No, I wouldn't. I already have a daddy. I
don't want to call someone else as my daddy!"
Why would mommy marry Uncle Thomas anyway? Nicole had made up her mind that she would report
this to her daddy secretly.
Lola sighed as her daughter would not comply. But there was nothing else she could do at this stage.
"Fine, then. Let's go downstairs and have dinner."
That night, after taking a bath, Nicole requested to play some video games on Lola's phone. Lola
agreed and downloaded some games for her.
Seeing her mother walk into the bathroom, Nicole quickly found a number on the phone and pressed
the calling button.
As soon as Harry saw the caller's number, he knew it was his daughter. After all, Lola would never call
him.
It was indeed Nicole! "Daddy!" Nicole's sweet voice spoke from the phone. Oh, how he missed that
voice...
"Are you missing daddy already?" In the study, Harry put off his cigarette as he concentrated on his
conversation with his daughter.
Due to the bruises on his face, he didn't go to the company at all. For days, he had been doing work at
home. It has been kind of lonely.
"Daddy, something is up! Mommy is going to get married soon. She is going to find me a new daddy!"
She lowered her voice and kept peeping at the bathroom. She feared that Lola would suddenly appear.
On hearing her words, Harry paused his thoughts. He was startled. Then he continued, "Do you know
who she is going to marry?"
Nicole nodded and quickly gave away the name. "Thomas Herren. Do you know him, daddy?"
