Lillian tucked her baby in and asked Lola, "The wedding day is fast approaching, right? Congratulations! Lola." She felt really happy for Lola, who was finally married to Harry after they had gone through so many difficulties.
Lola smiled at her and replied, "Hope everything will go well this time around. I have my fingers crossed on this one!" She could not withstand more incidents. This would endanger her life and also the babies inside her.
"Yes, everything will be okay. You have suffered enough. It's time for you to enjoy happiness and peace." Lillian patted Lola's shoulder and gently comforted her.
Then they brought up the topic of Joseph and Lillian's wedding ceremony. Joseph wanted to hold the ceremony as soon as Lillian recovered from the childbirth, while Lillian tried to delay it until the end of this year.
"Joseph is not involved in any affair, anymore?" Lola asked jokingly. She remembered the affair Joseph had with a popular actress last time.
Lillian held her daughter's little hands and smiled happily, "He's very loyal to me now. He would go home every night except when he had to shoot a movie in other places. He has been so good to me, Lola." Joseph would hold Shel every moment that he was with her. He even held her when she was already asleep.
"That's good. Do you want to take a walk outside later? We could relax some more." Lola had nothing to do here. She wanted to go out to breathe some fresh air. There were bodyguards protecting him all the way. She would not fear that anything might happen to her.
Lillian had heard about the gunshot Lola experienced last time. She frowned in concern and suggested, "You are now pregnant with two babies. We'd better stay inside for the sake of their safety, Lola." The babies inside Lola's belly were so precious. How could she explain to Harry if anything happened to Lola? Lillian thought worriedly.
Lola hesitated after she heard what Lillian said. Lillian was right! She had to consider her babies! Lola momentarily forgot about them...
"How about I go out to buy some vegetables so I could cook for you? You just stay here and wait for me." Lillian suggested after seeing that Lola was a bit disappointed.
Lola felt excited about the idea and nodded, "Okay, I will take care of Shel for you. No worries!"
"That's good. What do you want to eat?"
"I want to have hot pot!" She was eager to eat hot pot again! Harry has been keeping watch on her diet ever since he found out that she was pregnant. He was rigorous about what she should eat and what she should not eat.
Lillian did not think eating hot pot was good to Lola. But considering that she was making the food by herself at home, she thought that she could make it healthier. So she nodded and said to Lola, "Okay. You just wait me at home. I will go to the supermarket right away."
After they have come up with the decision, Lillian changed her clothes and went to the supermarket.
When dinner was ready, the delicacies on the table made her so hungry. Everything was mouth-watering!
Finally, she could eat some healthy hot pot! She was so happy!
But at that very moment, Lola's phone suddenly rang. It was Harry...
"Hello!" Lola connected with the call.
"Dear, will you come home to have dinner tonight? Please?" Harry asked. He heard that Lola had been with Lillian for a long time and she didn't have the slightest willingness to go home.
Lola looked at the boiling hot pot and shook her head, "No. I will eat with Lillian for the meantime. We will have so much time together in the future."
"What do you have for dinner?" Harry asked casually.
Lola kept silent for a while and stuttered, "... Well... Just porridge and vegetables." She couldn't let Harry know that she was having hot pot now. He would be angry!
Lillian giggled when she heard Lola lied to Harry.
But she really thought it was okay to eat hot pot occasionally. She herself had eaten hot pot several times when she was pregnant. It did not cause anything bad to happen to her.
Harry felt that Lola's voice was very strange. He got a bit suspicious. He frowned and said, "Dear. Don't try to lie to me. I know when you're not saying the truth, Lola." She must be hiding something from him.
Lola did not eat any fish or meat at Harry's place in the last two months. In order to accompany her, Harry also only ate vegetables and some spicy food with her.
Harry remembered that Lola has always begged to eat hot pot. But he had always refused her.
He realized what she was eating now. She was so disobedient. Harry thought.
