Within a minute, Harry came out with a trolley. There was a pinkish white two-layer birthday cake on the trolley. It was really gorgeous.
Two candles in the shape of the number 27 were lit brightly on the cake. A piece of chocolate on the cake said: "Darling, Happy birthday to you!"
Harry pulled the cart in front of her and stopped. He went into the room again. When he walked out of the room, he was holding a big bouquet of roses in his hands.
There were 999 roses. White roses were in the inner circle, blue ones were in the middle and red roses in the outer circle.
Harry put the bouquet in her arms. There were too many roses that she could hardly hold them.
Harry kissed her red lips and said to her, "Darling, Happy birthday!" Those beautiful roses were delivered from other countries, and every one of them was carefully arranged in the bouquet by himself.
He would be satisfied only if she have accepted it, no matter whether she liked it or not.
He had already sent Joey to Damascus of Bulgaria to contact a flower estate. He wanted to rent a lot. Then he could bring Lola to the place and plant the roses with her together.
"Thank you!" Lola said sincerely. She felt happy and excited with every surprise Harry has made for her. She felt like a little girl.
"Sweetie, I'm your husband. You don't need to say thanks." He didn't like the way she was being so polite to him.
Harry put the roses on the table and said to Lola, "Let's eat the cake!"
The candles were already melting. Lola closed her eyes and made a wish. She hoped everything could be better from now on.
She blew out the candles. Harry stood behind her and held her hands to help her cut the cake.
Lola ate a small slice of the cake. It was so delicious. She wondered where did Harry order this...
After that, she already ate three plates of cake. Harry handed over the empty plates and put them aside.
He took out a gift box from the cart and gave it to Lola. "Dear, this is my gift for you. Open it."
A big white gift box tied with pink silver ribbon was given to her.
Another surprise? Lola looked at the beautifully decorated box in front of her. She was amazed and at the same time, bewildered. He had really exerted great efforts to prepare for her birthday.
She untied the pink silky ribbon and opened the box. There were three colorful little figures inside it.
Harry took these out of the box for her and put them on her hands.
"These are polymer clay figures I made in my free time. Take a look. Do you like them?" In order to make them, he had specially learned the craft of sculpture.
Seeing this gift, Lola was moved to tears.
The three mini figures she was holding were herself in a white dress, Harry in a black suit and Nicole in a pink dress.
The three of them were holding hands in different poses.
She liked this gift so much. It was very unique and special. Every figure was delicately carved and was vividly presented. He even did this by himself. Nicole looked so lovely in her figure.
"Yes, I like it very much!" She choked with sobs and replied. Tears ran down her cheeks.
She really wanted to forgive him. What should she do? Should she forgive him?
Seeing that Lola has been crying, Harry took the gift from her hands and held her in his arms.
He said to her, "Dear, don't cry. I gave them to you to make you happy. You know that, right?" He didn't want to see her crying.
Lola wiped her tears and patted him. She complained, "Harry, you are so annoying! You always make me cry!" She would shed tears for her either because she was hurt by him or moved by him.
Harry laughed. He apologized to her, "Sorry, my sweetie. It's all my fault. Okay? Don't cry." He was comforting her as if she was a child.
It was quiet in the room. Only the sound of her sobbing and the occasional sound of the sea waves from outside could be heard.
When Lola eventually calmed down, Harry carried her as if she were his princess and took her into the bedroom.
