The warm sunshine splendidly shone on them, putting them in such majestic scene. The picture was so warm and sweet that it seemed as if they were a real family of three.
This scene reddened the eyes of the man who kept smoking at the windowsill just nearby.
Lola, how did it feel to lose your loved one? How did it feel to miss someone who you could not see anymore?
"Nicole, mommy's so happy to see you again. When you go back, do listen to your daddy and obey him always. When you grow up, come and find mommy. Okay? I'll be waiting for you." She caressed her daughter's little face lovingly and said those sad words.
Nicole nodded but did not fully understand everything. When she grew up and could make money by herself, she would come and find her mother and be with her forever.
The time they spent together was so short. It was just less than ten minutes before Harry had lost his patience.
He coldly glanced at Cherry next to him and she immediately went to the garden.
He must still love that woman. She could see it in his eyes. If not, why did he have to take Nicole here on purpose?
"Nicole." She stood where Nicole had fallen down and softly called the girl's name.
It was the second time that Cherry had met Thomas Herren. The first time was at the birthday party of her grandmother. They nodded to each other politely.
When she saw Cherry, Lola knew that it was time to say goodbye to Nicole. She held her daughter tightly to her chest. "Nicole, call mommy when you are free." Then she read her phone number to Nicole for several times in hopes that she would memorize it.
Nicole was very clever. She had already memorized it when Lola read it twice to her.
Lola kissed her daughter on the forehead and Nicole did the same to her mom.
Nicole was about to cry and reluctantly parted from her mother.
Looking at her daughter's back, Lola told herself not to cry. Nicole would be safe with her father. Why should she cry? She didn't have anything to worry about.
The man next to her crouched down again. Looking in her direction, he saw that Nicole had finally entered the back door of the hotel.
"I'm leaving A Country this afternoon. I want to take you with me. I hope you come and join me." He expressed his idea again to her.
Lola did not refuse, nor promised. She just said, "Please go back by yourself this time. When my leg recovers, we can talk about it again. Okay?"
It didn't sound like a rejection, but she implied something like it.
Looking at her pale face, he suddenly lost his temper and asked in a slightly sharper tone, "Lola, he has treated you so badly already. Why can't you forget him and just have a fresh start?"
Lola looked at him in silence. She didn't get angry. She said to him and also to herself, "There will never be a possibility that Harry and me will be together. The reason I do not accept your invitation is that I haven't completely freed myself from that relationship yet. It's not fair for you."
Thomas heard it and knelt in front of her. "OK, I'll give you time. When you recover from your injury, I'll come back for you."
She looked at him too, but still did not promise anything to him.
"I'll call you, Herren." She would call him no matter whether she promised him or not.
Thomas lowered his head, closed his eyes and gave in again, "OK, I'll wait for your call."
When they returned, many people had already left. Lillian was answering Joseph's call, and was sitting on the sofa. She smiled happily.
On seeing Lola pushed in by Thomas Herren, Lillian hurriedly hung up and approached them.
"Let's go!" Lola looked at Lillian and smiled to her hesitatingly.
It seemed like everyone was happy. What about her? Where was her happiness? Was it gone forever?
