Harry suddenly turned around and looked right through her eyes. "How about you become my wife again?"
Again? Was this for real? Lola was stupefied as what he meant was... They would remarry?? Looking at his eyes, she thought that this could be a trick all over again.
But the last time she proposed to him, he refused, right? So she blurted, "No!" She refused straightforwardly.
The man's face darkened. "Lola, that's just awful! That's stupid of you!"
Then he sat up again, lazily leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes so that Lola could not see the emotions in his eyes. He was hurt.
She's stupid? Lola pursed her lips. It was him who was really stupid!
She had proposed to him and he said no. Of course, she would not just believe that what he says right now is true. Apart from the ring, the most important thing would be sincerity, right?
Didn't he refuse as well? Shame on him by saying how stupid she was!
"Mr. Si, you're the one who started this. You are the one who acts stupid."
He still didn't open his eyes, but grasped her small hands and enveloped it intensely with his big palm.
It could have been a romantic scene, but Harry intensified his grip, and Lola began to scream, "Ouch, ouch!!"
Nicole, who was playing with some toys beside them, looked at them strangely. She immediately said, "Daddy, don't hit Mommy."
She thought Mommy was screaming because Daddy was beating her.
Hearing what Nicole has said, Harry relaxed his hand a little, and rubbed her aching little hand.
The woman looked at him silently. Is this the so-called "slap and kiss?"
Just at that very moment, there was a knock on the door of the room, and Harry said in a faint voice, "Come in."
Then the manager came in with several waiters behind him. They started serving.
This first dish was Nicole's favorite fried silver carp. The shrimps and the fish dishes were served afterwards.
Just like before, the mother and the daughter enjoyed eating together.
The dinner ended before 8 PM. They went back to the Lamborghini, and Harry drove the car out of the parking lot.
Lola was caressing the hair of her daughter. She was really reluctant to leave. Then she said to Harry, "You leave me at the front crossing of the road. I'll take a taxi back to the hotel by myself."
Tomorrow, she would fly back to A Country on the earliest flight. It just pained her that she didn't know when she would see her daughter again.
After she finished her words, there was an uncomfortable silence in the car. Harry looked at her from the rear view mirror, while she was watching lovingly at Nicole. Their situation was really complicated.
"Tonight, you are allowed to stay with Nicole."
Lola's eyes glowed. "Then you just make a stop at the corner. We will take a taxi back to the hotel." Wonderful. Tonight Lola could hold her daughter and sing her to sleep.
Looking at her ungrateful ex-wife, Harry immediately darkened his face.
Not giving her any chance to say any nonsense, he directly drove the car to the manor.
At the entrance to the manor, there were glowing lights. Lola realized that Harry brought them to the manor.
After getting out of the car, Harry carried Nicole out of the child's seat. Lola thought for a while and the words came out from her mouth. "Is Lillian in your house?"
Feeling a flash of killing shot from Harry's eyes, Lola acknowledged her mistake. She really intended to make him feel guilty.
However, she can't let him be so intimate with Lillian!
She continued to repeat the words intentionally, "She's not at home? It's not good to take another woman in this house! What if she catches us? She'll break up with you."
Harry put Nicole on the ground, and gently said to her daughter, "Nicole, go to the living room. I'll be right there."
