Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 183

"Hey, Jordan." Jordan stopped when he heard the deep familiar voice.

He turned around and saw the man leaning against the Maserati. Jordan's eyes had something very complicated and anxious in them.

"How long have you been here?" He noticed the cigarette butts on the ground and thought to himself that Harry must have been waiting here for hours. But how come would he actually let Lola stay in the same room with another man? Knowing Harry, he could not risk something bad to happen to Lola.

Harry put out another cigarette butt and reached for another. He was getting very worried and smoking was his only way of repressing his emotions. Unfortunately, the cigarette case was already empty and he had run out of cigarettes. He slightly shook his head and looked at Jordan: "Just go and pick her up. Pretend that you never saw me here."

Jordan thought of what happened during the day, silently nodded and briskly walked into the hotel.

Inside the hotel suite, Zoe wiped Lola's face with a warm towel and helped her with the sheets.

Just at that moment, somebody knocked on the door and he went to answer it. Outside the door stood a man in a tidy military uniform. He must be Lola's elder brother, thought Zoe.

"Hello. I am Lola's elder brother." Jordan briefly examined Zoe from head to toe. This was the first time they met. He heard his sister mention that she had a close male friend. He must be the one then.

Zoe stepped aside and said: "Hi. Lola is now sleeping inside. You'd better take her home then."

Jordan nodded and walked into the suite. He saw his sister lying on the bed. Next to the bed, there were a basin full of water and a clean towel.

He carried his sleeping sister in his arms and started walking towards the door: "Thank you for taking care of her. We'll pay you back for whatever expenses you must have had." He extended his sincere gratefulness to Zoe.

"No need for that. Lola and I have been friends for ages. It is my obligation to help her out." Zoe picked up Lola's bag and decided to take off with them.

The two carried the sleeping Lola out of the hotel and stopped by the road. Zoe asked, "Where is your car? I'll help carry her bag." He walked a few meters ahead and saw a military jeep. That should be it.

However, he also noticed a black luxury car next to the jeep. A man was leaning against the car with his hands in the pockets of his trousers. The figure seemed to be familiar.

Harry saw Jordan and a girl in his arms. He made sure that Lola was doing fine and then sat in his car. He couldn't risk Lola seeing him right now. Without saying anything, he started the engine and drove off.

Zoe's eyes followed Harry's car as it disappeared into the distance and then he opened the door of the military jeep. Jordan helped lay Lola into the jeep along with her bag onto the back seat and then he bid goodbye to Zoe.

The jeep drove off as well.

Zoe stood still as both cars went out of his sight. A strong sense of desolation seized him and he felt a tinge of loneliness.

He was in love with her for so many years and yet he never dared to show her his love. He did not have the guts to let her know.

He would smile when she was happy and he would feel sad when she cried.

He would never forget the day when he first met Lola. She was such a charming girl with a very bright smile.

With one look at her, he knew that he has given his heart to her forever.

However, she never returned his love. She first had a crush on Mike and then on Harry. She never loved him back. Never did she paid any special attention to him.

A speeding car dashed pass him. Zoe's desire of freeing himself from all the disappointment got even stronger.

He tried hard to pull himself back to reality. He convinced himself that it was not the right time for him to go crazy. The company needs him and Lola needed him even more. He just had to be the best friend that she could have.

Jordan brought Lola back to the villa without waking up someone. After laying her in bed, he returned to his study room.

He sat in the chair and lit up a cigarette. In the darkness, Jordan remembered that his sister also had a close friend Wendy and another woman.

He thought of all of these and finally came to the conclusion that he would forget that woman and marry Wendy instead. He would treat Wendy with full respect. He should not let his marriage upset his sister.

It was getting dark and late.

Meanwhile in Crescent Spring, Harry could not fall asleep as well. He worked very late in his study. Before he left, he wanted to sort out all company matters so that Lola would not stress herself anymore. He needed to relocate two capable assistants from the headquarters for her.

The workload of a CEO was really overwhelming. She would get very busy. The only thing he could do for her was to get two skilled assistants to help her out.

In the middle of all these, his mind eventually got a bit exhausted. He thought of Lola's beautiful and adorable face and could no longer concentrate on his work. He frowned and closed his eyes in distress.
