"Em...I didn't take my phone with me at work. Are you at home now?" Jordan put his gloves on the table and was about to change clothes so he could leave.

Lola paused and looked at the man in front her, "Brother, I have something to do tonight, so ... I won't go back home. I'll be fine." She used to take an excuse that she would work overtime and stay in the company at night. But now, she couldn't find any excuse for not coming back home. Her family always had an idea already.

Jordan stopped and immediately thought it must be related to the Harry. Otherwise, Lola would not make such a lame excuse.

"You are with Harry." Jordan said in a very positive tone. Except with Harry, his sister never stayed with others at night in Ascea, let alone the whole night.

Lola remained in silence, which meant she admitted it. Jordan took a deep breath and said, "Does he force you to this?! Tell me honestly, Lola!" If the answer was yes, he would immediately let someone bring his sister back. Harry couldn't do anything with the military.

Didn't Harry hurt Lola enough yet? What else did he want to do? He was really a man of violence.

"No, brother, we.... have something to solve. It's urgent. Don't worry, just go home!" Both her sister-in-law and her nephew are still waiting for him at home. His brother should be worried on taking care of both of them.

After hearing that, Jordan didn't persuade her anymore but still be worried. "Call me at once if anything goes wrong."

"I know, dear brother. I will. Thank you." As Lola ended the call, the traffic light turned red and Harry stopped the car.

Harry looked back at Lola, "Since you have behaved so well, I'm considering to cook something really delicious for you today!" He looked at the time, and realized that it was just eight o'clock so the supermarket was still open.

Lola put the phone inside her bag and replied without any emotions, "Since I'm behaving so good, can you just drop me off?"

"Never think of that, Lola." Harry immediately refused. He won't take anything of Lola's constant refusal.

In the supermarket

Lola, lost in her own deep thoughts, threw tons of snacks into the cart when Harry was picking ingredients for dinner.

However, as they have not started to make dinner yet, it must be very late when it was done. They were both very hungry already.


Therefore, Harry chose ingredients which could be cooked simply and quickly for Lola.

It was already past nine in the evening when they finally arrived at Crescent Spring from the supermarket.

Crescent Spring had been cleaned, and all the kitchen utensils were also well-prepared.

Harry put a few big bags on the coffee table in the living room and picked the food ingredients out. "You can eat some snacks first, but don't eat too much as you should also eat the food that I will cook." Then he took the ingredients to the kitchen.

Seeing Harry going into the kitchen, Lola sat on the sofa, opened a few bags of snacks to eat and surfed the Weibo.

Not knowing when he did it, Harry made a comment under her post and the comment was topped out, "He is happy only when you are happy."

Lola was eating dried fruits while thinking about the implied meaning of Harry's comment. Did it mean that Zoe would be happy if she could be happy with him?

She had changed Weibo accounts for several times. And this was a newly registered one after she recovered. How could he know this new account? She actually didn't want Harry to know about it.

So because of Harry's comment, Lola's account won a great number of fans quickly. Soon after, her identity was known.

What followed were mostly flirty comments, while there were a few hints of comfort.

Why did they sympathize with her? Lola clicked on Harry's Weibo, where the top post was, "I owe you an apology. I'm sorry for misunderstanding you, Lola."

There was one comment, among the millions of comments, where Harry replied. It said: "Does it mean that Lola has nothing to do with the death of your mother?" And Harry's reply was, "Yes. She is not guilty of it."

Recently, Lola hadn't paid attention to Harry's Weibo, so she didn't know about this matter before. She checked the date of the post. It was exactly the same day that he sent her the bouquet of roses a week ago.

Looking at Harry, who was busy cooking dinner in the kitchen, Lola was in mixed emotions. He was a public figure so she never thought that he would publicly apologize to her. He was really conservative when it came to admitting his emotions in public.

Lola thought Harry was so unpredictable and this made her feel upset again.

At that very moment, the ringtone of her phone suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

It was Thomas. Lola glanced at the man in the kitchen and realized that he just looked at her. It was so weird that she felt a little guilty.

However, Lola still answered the phone, "Hey."

Just now in his apartment, Thomas saw Lola's Weibo and guessed that she had visited Zoe and was not in a good mood now.

"You have visited Zoe?"

Thomas was rubbing his temples. He was too busy to connect with Lola recently. He was upset at himself because he failed to check up on her.

Lola stood from the sofa and walked to the windows in the living room. She looked at the dim street lights outside and answered, "Yes, I have."

"You can come to Zacrye if you are free. You can relax in here." He missed her so much.

Thomas frowned when he saw Harry's comments under Lola's post. He even wanted to kill Harry when he thought of him. He thought that Harry was a pretentious fool.

After hesitating for a second, Lola decided to tell Thomas the truth as she found no valid reason to hide it. "Thomas, Harry does not want to give up and let me go. But whatever he does, I'm working hard to be with you. I'll do my best to be with you soon." And she was working hard to persuade Harry to let her go. Or even hate her...
