Harry nodded and gently looked at his daughter while he held her in his arms. "You can go and discover the old pocket watch secret, I will send people to protect you!" he said. Landon had been injured, and Harry had already visited him.
With her solemn face, Lola looked at Harry, and said, "But I don't want to seek out for any treasures or some incredible wealth; it will cause us too much trouble."
"If you don't seek the secret, you'll get into a lot of trouble anyway, and there will be many people who will cast their covetous eyes on the whole Li family," said Harry. As long as the old pocket watch existed, trouble would be inevitable.
After Harry gently shook Sally for a little while, she fell asleep in his arms.
He then gently put her into another cradle and kissed her cheek.
After that, Harry, who had his arms around Lola, left the baby's room and entered Nicole's.
He turned on the dim light and saw that Nicole was sound asleep. After tucking Nicole in, Harry turned off the light and left.
He now had a wife and three children, and he was satisfied with what he had.
He went back to the bedroom, and placed his arms around Lola again. Since the two babies had been born, Harry hadn't had the chance to hold Lola in his arms anymore while sleeping.
At first, Lola would sleep in their bedroom, but later she slept in the baby's room.
Or she sometimes slept with Nicole to keep her company. She spent most of her time with her three children.
At night
Harry and Lola were silently laid in the bed, listening to each other's heartbeats. Harry kissed her on her forehead, and asked, "Are you still thinking about the old pocket watch?"
After she tossed and turned for a while in bed, and after she finally laid comfortable in Harry's arms, Lola nodded a yes.
Recently, Harry and her three children stayed almost all the time with her. She was so happy that she had almost forgotten the cruelties of day-to-day society.
"Don't think too much of it. Be brave, and go and look for the secret. Just remember that I'll forever protect you," said Harry. If he wasn't able to protect her, if he were to let her get injured one more time, he wouldn't be deserving of his title anymore!
Lola slightly nodded, and thinking that since she eventually had to face this sooner or later, she should man up and face it!
It was late at night, and Lola was now sound asleep. After looking at her slumbering face, Harry carefully got out of bed.
He then grabbed his phone, went to the balcony, and called someone. "How are the preparations going? OK, come to the manor at seven o 'clock tomorrow morning... OK."
After hanging up, Harry put aside his phone and gently returned to bed, falling back asleep with his arm around his wife.
When morning came, and she was still sleeping, Lola felt that someone was helping her get dressed in bed. When she opened her eyes and she saw that outside was still dark, she noticed that Harry was helping her get dressed in bed.
... "Why do I need to get dressed while still sleeping?" She asked him with a slightly hoarse voice.
Harry kissed her lips, and said, "It's all right. I wanted to... open the balcony's door, but I was worried that you would catch a cold." Harry, who wasn't that good at lying, made up a poor excuse.
Lola had kept him company until the late hours of the night; she was so tired that she didn't even have the energy left in her to judge whether his words were true or false.
She let Harry dress her in her clothes, her coat included. Later, when Harry was holding her in his arms, she woke up again.
"Do I also need to go to the balcony?" she asked. She saw that Harry was carrying her in his arms and walking out of the bedroom.
Harry smiled, and replied, "No, there's no need for you to go there. I'm going to put you in Nicole's bedroom so you can sleep with her." She easily woke up, and Harry thought that if he ever had to do such a thing again, next time he should try his best to get her even more tired.
"Oh!" said Lola. "Why is he opening the balcony's door?" Lola fell asleep again while thinking of it.
When he saw that she was asleep again, Harry felt relieved, and thought that it was not easy at all to surprise her!
When Lola woke up again, she found herself lying on a big bed with which she was a bit familiar.
