"You'll know what your father looks like when you see him. I'm getting up. You may wait a second, OK?" Lola Li ran her fingers through her hair and sat up in bed. Well, she felt quite sleepy...
Nicole Li shook her head and got herself out of bed. She knew her mother was busy and she went to her nanny Mrs. Yuan.
Lola Li felt relieved when she saw her docile daughter. She was really thoughtful.
Lola remembered that when she was about to wean her daughter, she held the baby and said, "Nicole is a big girl now. A big girl doesn't drink breast milk." Nicole nodded obediently and she hadn't ever drunk breast milk from then on.
Without breast milk at night, she somehow felt emotionally insecure. She woke up several times a night, but she didn't ask for it.
Lola Li was greatly touched when her baby neither cried nor protested. Joy welled up in her heart every time she thought of her daughter. Nicole was truly her sweet heart!
It was almost half past seven after she fed Nicole at breakfast. Lola asked Joseph to take Nicole to the kindergarten first, while she went upstairs to get herself changed.
Joseph seated Nicole in the child car seat and buckled her up. Then he moved onto the driving seat and set off.
Harry was waiting out of the Li's Manor twenty minutes ahead of time.
He paid little attention when he saw a car coming out. But when the little girl in the back seat smiled at him, his heart rate was skyrocketing.
Though casting one glance, Harry was impressed
By her round face, big black eyes, small mouth and straight teeth. Even he was far apart, he could see the girl in a pink blouse through the car window. What a cute girl she was!
If Lola Li hadn't had the induced abortion, his child would have been older than this girl!
He noticed Joseph on the driving seat. Was that girl the goddaughter of Lola Li? No, it was weird.
Lola Li came out of the villa and it took her all of ten minutes to reach the gate. It was already twenty-five to eight. She was five minutes late.
Harry's car had been waiting at the gate. Lola Li trotted and opened the car door.
As soon as she got in the car, she sensed that Harry was in a bad mood. With his eyes closed, he leaned back on the seat and looked poker-faced. What he said tensed Lola Li right away. He saw Nicole?
"I just saw a very cute girl. Is she your goddaughter?"
... She was freaking out! "...Uh, yeah!"
Harry advanced his head close to Lola Li, "Lola Li, if you hadn't had the induced abortion, I would be a father now. How could you be so heartless!" He looked gloomy. Thinking of Nicole, Lola Li didn't even dare to meet his gaze.
Harry thought she felt guilty because of her past abortion, which dejected him.
"I... I didn't." She opened her mouth, but was unable to give a convincing explanation.
Harry simply glared at her, but said no more then. He started the car and drove towards his company.
In the general manager's office.
Lola Li patted her chest to calm down. She never expected Harry to see Nicole one day. She even forgot about that when she asked Joseph to take Nicole to the kindergarten.
Fortunately, Harry wasn't aware that Nicole was his daughter. She must be more careful next time. She would never let this happen again.
