"Where are you?" He asked his daughter in a comforting voice. He didn't want to upset Nicole. She was his only way to Lola.
Nicole realized that her mommy had not come out from the bathroom yet. "I don't know. Mommy said that we were at my uncle's." Actually, Nicole was really confused because she didn't see Joseph here.
Uncle? Maybe, Joseph?
"Did mom tell you when you were coming back here?"
"Yes. She told me that we would not go back tonight. We'll stay here." Lola opened the bathroom door and walked out with a towel wrapped over her body.
Then she found Nicole holding her phone. Oh, God! She might be answering the phone and telling everything to Harry.
She ran to grab the phone from Nicole's hand. Sure enough! It was Harry on the call! She was talking to her father.
She immediately hung up and held her daughter on her lap. "Nicole, what did you tell your papa?"
This little fool. She hoped that she had not told Harry where they were right now.
Nicole thought for a while and shook her head, "Daddy asked when we would go back." She could only remember the last sentence.
"Then what did you say?"
"I said we would not go back. You said that, right?" Her mom told her this, right?
Lola did not ask more. She went to another bedroom to get her clothes.
Lola took Nicole out for dinner and went back to Joseph's apartment afterwards.
She parked the car downstairs. When she was about to get her daughter off the car, a man came out from the dark alley.
He slowly came closer to her. Half of Lola's body was in the car preparing to hold her daughter. She could not see who was coming.
Then, a heavy and strong arm took her by the waist and lifted her out.
Just when Lola was about to scream, she inhaled a familiar smell.
Then she was held to his chest and sure enough it was him. How did he know where they were?
Nicole laughed secretly in the car when she saw her daddy holding her mommy.
"Sweetie." His deep, sensual voice rang sweetly in her ears. In an instant, Lola felt so seduced by Harry.
Imagine that the man you loved was extremely handsome, and called you sweetie with a sexy gentle voice. Wouldn't you feel dizzy? Wouldn't you be seduced?
"Hey! Let me go!" She twisted her body frantically to free herself from his arms.
"Good girl, stop it. Let's go home."
Home?
When Lola heard these words, she was stunned for a second. What beautiful words!
For a moment, she was touched, as if all the jealousy and anger were gone. For the first time in her life, she felt like Nicole had finally got a complete family.
The night suddenly looked so beautiful as Lola and Harry embraced.
She looked up and found the man gazing at her lovingly. She nodded in pleasure.
Lola was taken to the car by Harry and sat beside Nicole.
He had driven here personally to pick up his wife and daughter.
Sitting on the driver's seat, he smiled when he saw the woman still in a daze through the rear view mirror.
After a half way's drive, Lola realized that Harry had bewildered her by his beauty and charm. She was supposed to be angry at him!
Back at the mansion, Harry took Nicole to the bathroom for her to have a bath while Lola lay on the bed drowsily, waiting to tell her daughter some stories.
She didn't expect that she would forgive him so easily. She would not be that generous. She knew herself.
When Harry went out and was leading Nicole to the bed, Lola was almost asleep already.
She did not wake up until Harry kissed her on the cheek.
Sitting next to her, Nicole smiled, and was delighted by what she saw.
