Harry checked his cell phone but didn't find anything unusual. He didn't believe Lola used his phone just to see the time, but what else could she do? Well, just let it be!
Although it was Sunday, Lola hurried to the company to attend the morning meeting.
Harry wore a white casual shirt today with the sleeves tucked up above the elbow. There was an precious watch on his left wrist, but the right wrist drew more attention for there were two rows of bite marks right on the middle of it.
Wasn't it left by Lola? Was it so serious? Well, although it was no big deal, he shouldn't expose it… Lola pretended she didn't see the marks while the others already knew what their CEO had done last night.
Lola pulled her collar to cover her neck with embarrassment, for fear that the mark on her neck was seen by others.
After the meeting, Harry glanced at the blushed Lola on purpose.
Lola looked away in a hurry. OMG! Why did she begin to feel she was having an affair with him…
At Crescent Spring.
After a busy day, Yolanda checked her phone casually and saw the WeChat message from Harry.
She was so infuriated by the picture received that she smashed the cellphone onto the ground and clenched her clothes with both of her hands.
Harry slept with that woman again last night and the photo was certainly not sent by him! It was sent by that bitch absolutely after they had sex. Did she wanna show off? Lola Li!
She couldn't send Steven to deal with Lola now, but she could ask Harry's mother for help!
She picked up the phone. Its screen was broken but she could still made a phone call.
Before calling, she received a picture from Nael on WeChat.
In the picture, Harry was holding a little girl in his arms with a tender look on his face. However, the girl was mosaiced and Yolanda couldn't see her appearance.
How could Harry hold a child? The child looked three or four years old.
Whose child was this? Lola and Harry's? Thinking of this, Yolanda felt freezing cold from head to toe.
No! That was impossible! If she was really Harry's child, he would surely take her home!
Perhaps she was just the daughter of his friend. Yes, it should be.
She had known ten years ago that Harry wanted to have a child…
So it must be her that bore him a baby, not Lola!
She had to find a way to bear him a child...
After the morning meeting, Lola was wondering whether she should ask for a leave.
She hesitated because she had to deal with the endorsement of Joseph and Yolanda. At last she made up her mind to leave since the company still had CEO and general manager in charge after she got days off. There would be no problem.
She sent an email to Harry, asking for a four-day leave from the next day.
At noon, Harry replied, "Wanna go to X City? I'll go with you!"
......
It was a leave application to CEO, not a schedule to husband!
She refused of course, for she would also take Nicole there and didn't want Harry to be with the little girl. There was a natural intimacy between father and daughter. What if Harry found out the truth?
But Harry's reply was even more simple: he wouldn't approve Lola's leave if she didn't allow him to go together! He added he would pick her up in the manor of Li Family at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
......
Lola rubbed her painful temple and accepted. Anyway, it was difficult for her to take a child to travel alone.
Lola called her parents in the army and the old couple both supported her to bring Carl back.
At night.
Lola lay prone beside her daughter who was playing the blocks. Her earnest look reminded Lola of Harry...
"Nicole, I'll tell you something." Lola was going to tell her daughter ahead of time to make sure she would be mentally prepared for what would happen tomorrow.
Nicole looked at her and said, "Go ahead, mommy!"
"Tomorrow, mommy will take you to see your grandpa. I was brought up by him." She would bring Carl to A Country if he was willing to come with her. Therefore, she wouldn't need to worry about him since they lived together.
"How many dads do you have?" That's a wired question.
Lola smiled, "Mommy has two dads! Grandma has asked a leave for you and do you want to come with me?"
Nicole nodded and said docilely, "I'll go wherever mommy goes."
She stroked her daughter's pigtail happily and said, "An uncle will go with us. Will you mind?" She asked.
Nicole put down the blocks and asked smartly, "Is he the one I see in your phone?" Of course, she'd love to go with daddy.
Thinking of Harry's picture in the phone, Lola nodded, "Would you like him to come?"
Nicole nodded quickly with her eyes flashing with happiness as soon as her mommy finished, "Yes! Of course!" She was so happy that she could go with daddy!
Lola let out a sigh of relief after Nicole agreed. She was confused why Nicole was so excited. Maybe it was just because she liked handsome uncle.
On the next morning, Joseph walked them to the gate of the manor and found a Maybach parking there.
In the car, Harry looked towards Lola and Nicole in the light blue mother-daughter outfits. That was so warm. In Harry's eyes, Joseph beside was invisible.
He took a picture of them with his phone behind the car window. Good one! It would be better if Joseph was removed by Photoshop.
In Harry's mind, Joseph was the person that shouldn't be here. When Harry got out of the car, Joseph shouted with excitement, "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!" His luxury car and villa were around the corner!
Lola blushed and slapped his head, "Who is your brother-in-law?"
As soon as she finished, Nicole loosened her hand and ran towards Harry. "Uncle, uncle!"
Lola was so astonished, wondering why Nicole was so excited at meeting Harry. Watching Harry pick Nicole up with a smile on his face, she felt something was wrong. "Have they ever met each other?" This question was for Joseph!
"How do I know that?" Afraid of his secret being found out, Joseph looked away and headed to the Maybach with the small suitcase.
"Will you go to see grandpa with me?" Nicole hugged Harry's neck tightly, expecting Harry to say "yes".
"I won't tell you unless you give me a kiss!" He didn't answer but kept her guessing.
With no hesitation, Nicole kissed his face.
The sun rose in the east and shone on the gorgeous father and daughter. The scene was amazing and nobody would take their eyes off them.
