"OK, honey, let's do that," replied Lola. She wore a bright smile on her face, and looked at him with a
pair of seductive eyes.
His eyes shined when he saw her captivating expression.
They entered the bedroom together, and Harry started kissing her immediately, but Lola covered her
mouth with a cunning look now.
She held his hand and walked towards the balcony.
"Hum? On the balcony? I like that!" he thought.
Lola opened the door of the balcony and led him in, and the sea breeze was blowing straight at them.
She now wore a coquettish smile, and as she held him around the waist, she asked, "My dear
husband, do you love me?" She was setting a trap for him.
Harry answered with a series of deep kisses on her red lips.
After a short while, he said, "You tell me..." He gently stroked her immaculate face.
"I don't know, because you never say it," replied Lola. She pouted her lips in discontent.
Harry chuckled, and said, "Honey, I love you with all my heart!" Lost in the romantic scene, Harry totally
forgot about her anger.
Lola pointed to the ground, and said, "If you love me, kneel on the crisp instant noodles."
Harry cast a surprised look at her. She gloated, and added, "Be careful not to crush them."
...
"Kneel on the noodles?" Harry was now helpless. He thought, "Wow, she really doesn't play by the
rules! I got away with the durians, but now... How did she even think of instant noodles? Kneel on
them? Aren't they supposed to be food?"
"Dear, can we please release your anger in some other way? asked Harry. "Like having sex," he
thought.
Unsatisfied, Lola cast him a stare, and replied, "No! Harry, I know that a real man will not kneel so
easily. But you don't have to kneel to me; kneel to the heavens instead!"
Kneel to the heavens? No! Harry put his arm around her waist, and said, "OK, I'll kneel, but only on the
condition that you stop being angry with me, OK?"
"Or else all of this will be in vain!" he thought.
Lola stared at him with an arrogant look, and replied, "It depends. If I'm pleased, you can stand back up
in 10 minutes. If not, you'll have to stay on your knees till tomorrow morning!" She pulled his waist, and
demanded, "Hurry up!"
"It would make me look bad," he thought. When he was just about to say something, Lola started
sobbing and was just about to weep. She asked, "Who made me end up in a wheelchair last year?"
Her words made Harry feel instantly guilty. Without uttering another single word, he walked to the crisp
instant noodles and was just about to kneel on them.
But he was then stopped by a pair of soft hands.
When he turned his head to look back, Lola kissed him on his lips, and said, "All right, I'm pleased now.
I forgive you!"
"I never wanted him to kneel. After all, he is the acting CEO of an international company, and if
someone ever knew about it, we would make a fool of ourselves!" she thought.
Harry stood up and kissed her back on her red lips. "She really is adorable. How can I ever stop loving
her?" he thought.
In the next few days, Lola would sometimes take the twins to visit Harry's grandfather. In the rest of her
time, she would stay in the manor, and take care of her children.
In the SL Group
Joey knocked on the door and then entered the office. He said, "Boss, our Canadian partners will arrive
in C Country this evening. The welcoming banquet will start at 6:30 PM."
"OK," replied Harry.
"Also, Thomas Herren's grandfather has just arrived from A Country and wants to see you." Thomas
Herren was in his late thirties but was still a childish troublemaker for his family.
"Herren's grandfather?" thought Harry. He frowned, and thought, "If someone else from Herren's family
had asked to see me, I would have definitely turned them down. But Thomas Herren's grandfather
offered a helping hand to me when I started my business. I owe him, and I can't say no to him..."
"Schedule a time and place for tomorrow," said Harry.
"OK," replied Joey.
"By the way, how is everything going with the lease on the rose garden in Bulgaria?" asked Harry.
Joey recalled the contract, and replied, "Everything is going well. We have already signed the contract,
and now is a really good time to go there."
"Harry is so romantic. He rented a rose garden in Bulgaria only to please his wife," thought Joey.
Harry nodded, and thought, "I'll take her there in two days after I get all my work done."
The Dominator cafe in the New District was named LN Cafe by Harry, after Harry reunited with Lola.
In a corner up on the second floor sat a dignified, grave old man. He had his eyes closed meditatively.
There was a scar on his face which he had acquired in a war when he was young. The scar was like an
honorary mark to him.
"Mr. Herren..." Harry gently greeted him. He opened his eyes and nodded to Harry.
Harry then sat opposite to him.
He said, "Mr. Si, thank you for taking the time to see me. It's an honor!"
"Mr. Herren, it's my pleasure to see you!" replied Harry. They greeted each other and then spoke for a
while.
Then, Aaron Herren got right to the point of his visit. "Thomas has made a great mistake and offended
you and Mrs. Si. I want to personally apologize to you for him." He knew about almost everything that
Thomas had done.
Harry looked at Aaron, who had lowered his head to apologize. He knew that he had been a proud man
all of his life, especially when his grandson had become president, and had been flattered by everyone
for his successes.
But now he had to apologize to a young man for Thomas's mistakes. Harry felt that indeed it was not
that simple for him.
"Mr. Herren, you don't have to apologize. I hope that he can take full responsibility for his mistakes,"
said Harry. Harry didn't want Aaron Herren to be involved in this.
Aaron heard his unspoken words and secretly sighed. He begged, and said, "I know my grandson
more than anyone else. If it's OK, please do me a favor and keep him alive, no matter what happens in
the future."
Two hours later, Harry walked out of the cafe.
He fixed his gaze on Aaron while he slowly disappeared in the distance.
"It's not that simple. Thomas Herren is a threat to Lola," thought Harry.
The last words that he had spoken to Aaron Herren were, "I need to discuss this with my wife first."
He thought, "Thomas Herren had my wife and son imprisoned for a month. For Aaron's sake, I
promised I will let it pass. But I cannot make that decision in Lola's name. Whether she will be willing to
let him live or not, that all depends on her."
He drove back home to the manor, pondering on this matter.
At the manor
Lola was planting a flower seedling in the garden.
Next to her was Mrs. Du, wheeling the baby stroller with the twins in it around.
Harry remembered his mother. If she were still alive, she would have been really happy to see her
three grandchildren!
