Lola curled up at the back seat for half an hour before she went back to the driver's seat. As soon as she got comfortable in the seat, she drove away quickly.
She felt all kinds of pain everywhere on her body. That monster was so cruel!
She was so much in pain...
She finally arrived home and bumped into Lillian who was walking downstairs to fetch some water.
Lillian curiously looked at Lola. She saw that her face was pale and sorrowful.
"What's the matter, sister? What happened?" She put down her glass and embraced Lola.
Lola waved her hand immediately and reassured her, "I'm okay. I will go the upstairs. I'm just kind of tired." She felt that her ears was swollen because of his bite. She didn't want it to be noticed by anyone.
So she tried her best to hide it and then went upstairs.
Looking at her back, Lillian felt that Lola was acting very strange. She asked, "Sister, did your leg ache again? You shouldn't exert too much weight on it." She called out to Lola, who was already in the middle of the stairs.
Lola was moved by her concern. She turned her head and replied, "I'm okay. I just went to see Nicole... I was probably a little excited and emotional." Lillian understood why she was like this when she heard about Nicole.
She just nodded and answered, "Then have a good rest." The poor mother and daughter... they missed each other so much but could not see each other. She has pestered Harry about this matter. She suddenly felt so guilty.
Watching Lola disappear into the hall, Lillian decided in her mind that she would always take care of her in the future.
But Lola was sleepless and restless that night. She was troubled and anxious as to whether she could see Nicole tomorrow or not. If she went to see Nicole, she would be caught up again with Harry.
Which she didn't want. She was growing tired of that man... She really didn't want this. She thought that Harry has gone too far this time.
A few years ago, the lack of faith and trust between them led to the divorce. Then she left.
Four years later after the divorce, it was still because of his lack of trust that led to her ruined wedding day.
Right there and then, she decided not to go to see Nicole, because she can't see Harry anymore.
But Nicole needed to see her real mother too. How can she get rid of Harry?
On the early morning the next day, Lola went to the hospital first to get some medicine. Then, she went to her coffee shop.
The store has already started decorating the interior. She has hired a professional designer to create the blueprint for the refined decoration.
Nicole called her again that day. But she made an excuse that she could not make it to see her. It really broke her heart that her voice trembled a bit.
Nicole seemed very angry and disappointed. She immediately hung up the phone after hearing it.
Lola sat there looking at her cellphone, thinking deeply.
Was she too selfish? In order to avoid seeing Harry, she gave up the chance of seeing her daughter.
A month went by in mere sadness.
The store has finished the decoration process, and Lola named it LN.
The meaning was very clear: Lola and Nicole. Her daughter would always be her inspiration in running the business.
The weather was very fine on the opening day. She simply put several flower baskets at the door and declared it open.
She hired several young girls and boys as crew. They were all very nice and hardworking. She felt so satisfied.
Joshua heard about the news that Lola has opened her own coffee shop. He took his wife to the store and advertised it in the company.
But only a few people came. Because everyone has heard the news about the scandal that Lola killed the mother of her fiance, most people hesitated to support Lola.
They all tried to avoid being connected with her. But Lola didn't mind at all. She has foreseen this already.
In the SL Group, C Country
Harry sat in the chair with cigarette in his hand while he listened to Joey's update. "Lola opened a coffee store in A Country. Her store seemed to be gathering popularity... Joey wiped the sweat on his forehead.
He wondered why these two loving people would end up like this. They were just about to get married some time ago.
Harry kept silent after hearing the news. He lit another cigarette and ordered, "Open a new coffee store just opposite hers with lower price and better decorations."
...
Joey looked at his boss, feeling puzzled. Was he going to corner Lola to defeat?
