How could she not say yes to his expectations? Her answer was on the tip of her tongue as she looked at his earnest eyes. However, she said nothing.
Harry continued, "Lola, the maple tree would grow its leaves this autumn. Would you like to be here with me and watch them grow together?" He had some maple trees planted here in the mansion's yard. He was looking forward to an ocean of beautiful red leaves this autumn. He wanted her to be here, with him. Together, they could watch the trees grow bigger and bigger as the years went by and as they also got older.
He was looking forward to decorating the room with her.
He wanted her to watch the trees grow bigger with him.
Every word he said was a cry of invitation. He was asking her to move back and live with him as before.
For a moment, Lola hesitated, but she wanted to forget all the past and to return to him. Together, they could build a new future.
He noticed the torture sparkling in her eyes, and he added, "You should remember to take the health tonics I bought for you, otherwise they would go to waste. OK?"
She finally nodded, and said with a serious voice, "Yes, they would be a waste. But I can take them back with me." She could enjoy them at her own house.
...
What a witty girl she was! Harry leaned over and kissed her lips. Then, he held her hands and walked outside.
"Time to get Nicole home together."
"Get Nicole home together?" The thought of seeing her daughter soon made her feel more cheerful, and Lola followed him out of the room with full cooperation.
At the Red Flower Art Kindergarten
Lola sat in the car as she watched Harry go into the kindergarten with a pair of expensive sun glass on his face.
Two minutes later, he came out with a cute little girl in his hands.
Lola was so excited that she instantly opened the car's door and ran towards her. "Nicole!"
Nicole was surprised when she saw that her mother had showed up all of a sudden. She let go of her father's hand and then dashed towards Lola.
With a leap, she ran into her embrace, and cried out, "Mummy, mummy!" She was weeping with excitement.
The other parents outside the kindergarten turned their heads to look at the scene, and they felt happy for the family of three. Both the mother and father were good looking, and they both looked well-off and happy together.
Lola helped her daughter sit inside the car. Then she sat next to her with a happy smile drawn all over her face.
After seeing them with their seat belts on, Harry walked to the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat. As all the other parents were still looking at them, they drove off.
"How about having some western food for dinner today?" He asked them with a joyful grin on his face. Seeing Lola and Nicole happy together made his heart sing and swell.
Lola smiled at her daughter, and said, "My dear baby, daddy said we are going to have western food today. Would you like to?" As long as she was with her daughter, any kind of cuisine would do for her.
Nicole shook her little head; she missed the time when daddy took them to eat seafood. She said, "I want to have seafood with daddy and mummy." She expressed her mind and thought directly to her parents.
Harry nodded, "Sure thing. Daddy will book a table right now."
When they stopped for the green light at the crossroads, Harry called the same restaurant via Bluetooth, and he successfully booked a private lounge for the three of them.
Nicole was delighted, and she giggled as she clapped her hands in excitement, and said, "Mummy, let's ask daddy to peel the shrimps for us. Please?"
Lola paused as she looked at the back of Harry's head. Then she said, "You need to ask daddy for that first."
"My dear wife, I am more than happy to do it!"
... Lola cast her look away from him as she leaned again towards her daughter. "Daddy agreed. How about we order a lot of shrimps?" Since Harry enjoyed peeling shrimps for them, he might just well not eat anything at all.
