No Escape From Mr. CEO's Dangerous Love

Harry made his way over to the chair and sat on it. As he gazed into the distance, he noticed that the thin ice had already formed on top of the ocean.

His mind was full of her. He even memorized the way she smiled and the way she frowned. He even thought about how cute she looked when she was mad at him...

He slammed his fists so hard on the window that the bullet-proof glass moved a little.

Lola, how could you hurt me so much? How could you do this? Now he felt hundred times more hurt than that time when she was not around in those four years!

What a mean woman! What kind of spell had she cast on him that he was now suffering in great agony?

She made him suffer like this! He wouldn't let it be easy for her as well!

It was the night before the Chinese New Year's Eve. Lola was now able to walk on her own for a few steps.

Wendy and Lillian were busy helping Angie making traditional dumplings in the kitchen. The two women have been trying so hard to move around because of their baby bumps.

Lola stood on the second floor, staring at her cellphone screen aimlessly. The picture with Nicole and Cherry on the phone hurt her eyes and heart. They were smiling happily together on the picture. Cherry had posted it on Weibo.

Lola had been reading Cherry's Weibo. Through this, she was able to get hold of her daughter's updates.

From numerous tabloids, she could also read about how Cherry and Harry went to parties and banquets shoulder to shoulder. They were already a sweet couple.

The papers were reporting that the two would soon tie the knot. Harry was about to marry the daughter of Mayor Lawrence.

Some of the papers even published reports about when Cherry stayed overnight at Harry's mansion. One of the paparazzi even took a picture of her leaving the property. It seemed that everything was real, not something made-up.

Lola also found a place close to home to open a small cafe. The cafe was cozy and decent.

She had paid all the necessary funds and planned to refurbish the store as soon as the New Year was over.

She cast a quick glance at the card lying on the table. It was a gift money from Harry. The total sum was a shocking 666.66 million.

However, she never touched a penny of it. Lola was trying to figure out a way to give back the money to him.

She hoped to give it back when she saw Nicole or Cherry next time. That was her only opportunity.

This was the first time that the Newman family celebrated the Chinese New Year without Nicole. The mood was not as joyful and festive as before. They could not deny that Nicole was the energizer of the family, especially in feasts like this.

Fortunately, Angie was still pleased over the fact that both her daughter-in-laws were pregnant and would give her more grandchildren.

Just then, Lola's phone rang. She felt instantly nervous.

She anxiously prayed for it to be Nicole.

It worked! The familiar number was indeed from Nicole.

Lola excitedly pressed the speaker's button. "Hey, Nicole!"

"Mommy!" Harry was not home. Nicole took the chance and called her mom immediately.

"Nicole, did you miss me or not? How are you?" Lola's voice was transmitted to Harry's office in SL Group's headquarter through a monitor. The technology had been upgraded in Harry's company. He could hear everything loud and clear.

"Mommy, of course I miss you greatly! Tell you what, daddy is going to Ascea after the New Year to attend some important meetings. Anyway, daddy is taking me to Ascea!" Harry puffed on his cigarette as he listened carefully to the dialogue. He was amused that his daughter was turning into a little traitor. She was just like her mother.

Lola tried to hold back her emotions and not sound over-excited. She answered, "My dear baby, can we meet up in private?"

Nicole shouted with joy as she quickly agreed: "Sure thing! But mommy, how can we meet up?" She was over the moon when she realized that she could meet her mother soon!

Lola knew for a fact that Harry would send someone to look after Nicole all the time because she was still young. So she simply said, "I will come and find you. You may ask your daddy where he will be going to take you. If he won't tell you that, it is still okay. You just let me know your whereabouts when you are actually in Ascea."

"Alright, mommy. I really miss you. I hope I can see you soon." The little girl's voice suddenly sounded very sad and was full of longing.

Lola felt sad as well. She sniffed and replied, "Don't worry baby, you still got your daddy and a pretty auntie with you. Just be a good girl." Through the monitor, Harry could clearly sense the sadness from her voice.

A pretty auntie? Was she referring to Cherry? But the only woman he viewed as pretty was actually...

"But mommy, I wish you and daddy can be together. Plus me..."

Lola almost burst into tears when she heard this from Nicole herself. She cleared her voice, tried to control her emotions, and said, "Nicole, stop thinking like that. Daddy and Mommy are not going to be together. Not anymore. It will never be possible... When you grow up a little bit, come and visit mommy." With these words, she could no longer hold back her tears. They both started weeping over the phone.

Never possible... Harry puffed on his cigarettes one after another. He was getting sad, too.

"Nicole, don't cry. You will be very happy living with your daddy. You can have everything you want, right? I will visit you whenever it will be possible. Will that be okay?" Whenever possible? Lola felt her chest cringe as she did not really know for sure when she would get a chance to visit Nicole.

Nicole sobbed as she reluctantly agreed with her mother, "I will listen to your words, mommy. How is your leg?"

Lola was pleased by Nicole's words. Her baby daughter was growing up so fast that she now knew how to comfort others. Her daughter cared for her! "It is getting better. When I fully recover, I will visit you in private. How about that?" She just decided to visit her in private so that she would not cause further inconvenience.

"Sure! Mommy, I love you!" Nicole imaginatively blew a kiss to Lola over the phone.

Lola smiled through her tears. What an adorable girl! "I love you, too. My dearest Nicole. You are my baby!" Nicole was the apple of her eye. That will never change anymore.

The phone finally ended. Harry put down his cellphone and fell into deep thoughts. The cigarette was burning between his fingers, yet he did not notice anything but his thoughts of Lola. He was so carried away by his own feelings.

The New Year ended. Lola was recovering rapidly. She was now able to walk normally but not for long period of time.
