Rose decided to teach Lola a lesson when she came to the old house.

Although the next day was already Sunday, Harry still went to the company as the business became busier during the peak season.

Therefore, Lola drove to the old house alone. She was a bit nervous.

Instead of going to the company, Rose was also in the old house because she had to take care of Nicole.

Seeing Nicole running around the house, her great-grandfather laughed happily. Kevin was also in the company at that moment. Rose was tirelessly chasing after her. "My dear little Nicole, would you like to come to grandmother here so you could eat some fruits?"

"Nicole, my sweetheart, run slowly and please take care! You might trip and hurt yourself!" Rose looked at her granddaughter who was running fast. Her heart jumped at this as she was afraid that she would get hurt.

Lola pressed the doorbell of the old house and it was Rose that opened it.

After she saw Lola, Rose's happy expression immediately changed into a sour one.

"Auntie, I come to pick up Nicole. I'll take care of her for the time being." Then she handed Rose a bag and said, "This is the perfume I brought you from Canada. Would you like to have a look? It's really a popular brand." Lola looked at Rose with full of expectation.

Rose took the handbag from her hand with a grim face, walked outside then threw it into trash can without even giving a look at it.

......

Seeing this, Lola recalled the first time she saw Rose in Dreles a few years ago. The gift she sent to her had also been thrown away like this. Anger rose inside her.

Lola suppressed the uncomfortable feelings and thought of Harry, the man who cared about her. She remembered that she was doing this for Harry. Then, a smile reappeared on her face as she entered the living room.

"Mommy!" Nicole rushed over to her in a burst of excitement.

Lola immediately squatted down to catch her daughter, "Nicole, Mommy missed you so much! Did you miss me too?" Then she kissed her daughter's chubby cheeks time and time again.

Nicole held onto her mother's neck, "Mommy, I missed you too." She was so happy to finally see her mother! It has been a long time that she was away.

Lola walked in front of Senior Lewis, stopped and put Nicole down.

"Grandfather." She greeted the old man politely.

He looked at her with a smile, nodded and asked graciously, "Well, how was your travel abroad? Did you enjoy every bit of it?"

Lola was happy when she heard his words and nodded. "Well, it was so great, grandfather. Here's the maple leaf tea for you and my uncle. There's some maple syrup but it's really sweet so you can just try a little bit. Then this is the American ginseng. You can soak it in hot water every now and then. I heard that it can protect the cardiovascular system and improve your immune system!"

Senior Lewis constantly nodded with pleasure and took them all. He has always been fond of Lola.

But when she saw her daughter-in-law squinting in anger behind him, he asked gently, "Have you bought anything for your aunt?"

Lola took a look at him embarrassingly. He then interpreted it like she forgot to take a present to Rose.

He quickly pushed the gifts and put them in front of her, "Go and see what she likes. After all, feelings need to be nourished, too."

Lola looked at him and shook her head. She has no intentions to hide the truth anymore. "I actually bought Auntie a bottle of perfume and gave it to her just now, but..."

She did not finish her sentence, but the old man already understood.

As his face fell into disappointment, he replied, "Good girl. Someday, she will like you too. Aren't you coming to pick up Nicole? Go and come back to your home. Nicole misses you both so much! I will come to visit you when I'm free."

"Rose has gone too far." Senior Lewis signed.

"Okay, goodbye, grandpa. Goodbye, auntie. I am going to take Nicole back!" Holding Nicole's hands, Lola walked towards the door.

After Lola left with Nicole, Rose came back to her room as her father-in-law walked outside the house.

There really was a newly-packed handbag in the trash can outside the door. He took it out and recognized the English letters on it, which read "perfume".

He knew his daughter-in-law didn't like Lola, but she was too much this time! She was too rude!

So he took the perfume out, threw away the bag and returned to the house.

When Lola took Nicole back to villa, it was almost dinner time as Kaylee was already preparing dinner in the kitchen.

She took out her phone and sent Harry a message on the Wechat, "Will you come back for dinner?"

"Would you like me to go back? I will if you want me to." Soon, there came a quick reply. Lola didn't know if she would laugh or cry when she read Harry's reply.

After thinking about it, she satisfied him by saying, "Of course! I would like you to come back. And be early if you are not busy. I miss you already."

Harry rushed back at dinner time with a lot of documents, preparing to stay up at night to work in the study.

On the table.

Before he started to eat, Harry picked up some food to Nicole's bowl and then to Lola's.

Looking at him sweetly and lovingly doing this, Lola was very moved. She dug a spoonful of cheese corn kernels and put it by the side of his mouth.

He willingly ate the corn kernels from her spoon with a smile. Then, Nicole started to protest, "Mommy, I also want you to feed me corn!"
