He really hoped that there would be some kind of evidence to prove her innocence. He still had feelings for her and she's Nicole's mother. But so far, he got nothing...
She cast a scornful glance at him. "Wow. You'll apologize? Harry, even if there is evidence, I couldn't care less about you! You have caused too much pain for me."
How dare he talk to her like nothing happened? If he could ignore her feelings and cause her sufferings, why couldn't she do it to him, too?
Without giving him a chance to speak up, she continued hastily, "The day I clear my name will be the day I dump you for good. It will also be the day when I and Thomas tie the knot!"
She did not need his love. Love without trust will never be worth it! It didn't matter anymore. After all, she was not sure whether Harry was in love with her or not. It was too risky! Whatever! She sneered and rolled her eyes at him.
Harry was so pissed off that he pinched her chin. "Lola, you are reading too much into my words. Don't you ever think that you can run away from me in this life! I can do all things that can hurt you. Remember that." His tone was aggressive and demanding.
"Yuck! You, douchebag! You only want me because you have needs. What else do you want me for? To torture and hurt me? I am not your slave! Be ashamed of yourself!" She glared at him in anger. She would never forgive him for all the traumatic acts he did!
Harry then ended the conversation with the words, "Douchebag I may be, but I will be watching you until the end of your life!"
...
What an unreasonable asshole! Lola covered her head with the quilt to hide her utter frustration.
She wanted to rip the quilt to vent her anger but it was quite tough.
Eventually she calmed down and thought of falling asleep as she was very tired already. Just then, the door was opened by the house maid. She came in with a bag in her hands.
"Miss Li, Boss Si has asked you to change clothes as your daughter is already waiting for you downstairs. "
Lola was awakened by her words. The thought of seeing her daughter always got her so excited. She nodded to the maid and replied: "Sure, thank you."
Ten minutes later
Lola went downstairs and found Nicole waiting for her. The little girl was so delighted upon seeing her that she immediately leaped towards her.
"Mommy!" Her voice was full of joy and glee.
Lola caught her with open arms. The sight of her daughter put a smile back to her face. Nicole was really a stress reliever.
"Nicole, my dear child!" She embraced her warmly as they kissed each other lovingly.
Harry casually sat on the sofa as he watched her two girls.
The smiles on their faces really lit up the ambiance.
He stood up and walked towards the outside of the mansion.
He took out his cellphone and quickly dialed a number. "Go and investigate Yolanda for me. Check what she did recently and who has she contacted."
He then ended the call and set out for the dinner he had arranged with Samuel and some other friends.
During the dinner
As Harry was staring at his drink in silence, Samuel exchanged looks with their other friends. Something was clearly bothering him. It was strange.
Eason was the one who first broke the silence. "Harry, I heard that you and Cherry are engaged? Is that true?"
Samuel gave him a stern look. Why on earth would he bring up this topic? They didn't want to upset Harry.
"No." Harry replied with just one simple word. He had already found the culprit. He was bewildered.
Chuck had a sip of his drink and added, "Harry. From my point of view, you are in the wrong here."
Putting down his glass, Harry turned his face to him and encouraged him to continue.
"I don't believe Lola is a vicious woman that she would actually kill someone on her wedding day. Your lack of trust gave her no chance to explain and you found her guilty right there and then." Now, they both suffered from the consequences.
"I did give her my trust!" Harry snapped back in disapproval. He would definitely trust her if only his mother was not involved. He was really at a crossroads with this.
