No Escape From Mr. CEO's Dangerous Love

Chapter 371

After bidding Mrs. Herbert goodbye, he reminded her to take care of Lola and not let her do anything. Harry then hung up the phone in relief. He decided to come home early tonight. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Lola took Nicole out for shopping so they had dinner outside.

They returned to the mansion at past eight that evening. Telling from the silence inside, Lola guessed that Harry hadn't come back yet.

She could hardly move because of her wounded arm. But she still managed to help Nicole take a bath and got her to sleep. When these were all done, it was almost 10 o'clock p.m..

She silently crept from Nicole's bed and walked out. Harry's bedroom was all dark, and so was his study room. Maybe he was still not back.

She passed by the room full of their pictures. When Lola looked closer, she saw several new photos in which Nicole was playing happily in her school.

Then she closed the door. After a short while, she heard the familiar sound of a car engine from the ground floor.

It must be Harry's car. When she thought of Harry coming back, Lola's heart began to race really fast. She rushed to Nicole's room, jumped onto her bed, hugged her and closed her eyes.

Harry walked in with big strides, then rushed upstairs without even taking off the blazer hanging on his arm.

He opened Nicole's bedroom door. It was totally quiet, as he had expected.

Lola and Nicole embraced each other and slept sound together----a scene he wanted and was most happy to see. Just seeing them like this made his stress and exhaustion just go away.

As long as he would see this every day, he could work all day without feeling tired.

He then leaned down and kissed both of them. Instantly, Harry's familiar smell filled Lola's nose. Lola, though pretending to be asleep, still couldn't help but blink.

He then gave a glance at Lola's arm. It was still in a cast. He might as well go back to his bedroom and take a shower first. Harry thought to himself.

The door was closed gently, so Lola was a bit relieved. But what would Harry do? Did he go to work or did he sleep already? She could sense that Harry was already tired...

She was deep in her thoughts for almost an half hour. In the end, she sat up from the bed and decided to take a stroll.

The door opened from the outside again. Hearing the sound, Lola hurriedly went back to bed. Yet her movement did not escape Harry's eyes.

With a big grin on his face, he walked over to her. Her eyes were closed again.

Harry carried her to their bedroom.

He put her gently on his bed and tried to kiss her.

Lola put her right hand between them to block the kiss.

"Lola, I miss you." His sweet but tired voice echoed in her ears, making her nervous again. She bit her lips and tried to gather courage.

"Mr. Lewis, we... We are not familiar with each other. I don't know you." Now, she had to pretend to have amnesia again. It was tiring actually.

Harry nibbled her lips as punishment. "Don't call me Mr. Lewis. I am your husband." He emphasized his identity to her again.

Under the dim light, Lola lowered her head, seducing Harry to his wildest fantasies.

"Mr. Lewis..." She hadn't even finish her words before Harry's kiss covered her lips again.

After a long while, Harry corrected her again, "If you don't want to call me 'Honey' or as your husband, you can just call me by my name." He could tell that the way she called him now was different from before.

Just several days without each other's presence, he already missed her so much. Whenever he was free at work, his thoughts would be full of her.

He stood up and turned off the lamp, throwing the whole room into darkness. He cuddled her in his arms and comforted her, "Sleep now." He didn't want to press her too hard. Maybe she need some time to accept him.

"Well, Harry... Can we talk about one thing?"

"What is it, honey?" He kissed her again on her lips, then rested her head on his shoulder.

Lola grasped his bath robe and asked, "Nicole is my daughter. Can I take her back to Ascea?" After they would return to Ascea, she would never come back and see Harry again. Lola decided.

Lola's request made Harry frown. He replied, "You are my wife. Nicole is my daughter. You can stay here forever as long as you want. The three of us will live happily together. You don't have to worry about being with her." Why? He didn't force her, but still she wanted to escape from him?

"But now for me, we are just strangers. And I don't want to be with you. I really don't know you that much..." She complained. What should she do to make him let her go?

She didn't want to be with him... Lola's words made Harry upset. "If you don't want to sleep now, I don't mind doing something else to distract your attention. I can do anything that I want." Yes, he didn't try to have sex with her, but that didn't mean he didn't want to. He gave her a break only because of her wounded arm.

"I'll sleep right away." She shut her eyes immediately. Harry kissed her lips in satisfaction, then hugged her tight.

Looking at his handsome face, Lola felt stuck in crossroads. She couldn't make up her mind.

All her decisions of rejecting him vanished the moment she saw him.

When Lola woke up the next day, Harry has already gone to work. Beside her, Nicole was playing toys by herself.

She glanced at the clock. It was already past 9 o'clock. She hastily got off the bed and said, "Nicole, wait for a minute. After mom takes a bath, I will take you and we'll go somewhere nice."

Nicole nodded excitedly. "Mom, I will wait here. Can you take me to the amusement park today?"

Lola kissed her forehead and answered happily, "Sure. But you may wait for a while." She waved her wounded arm to Nicole.

Lola played with Nicole the whole day just like what they did yesterday. It seemed that both of them can't take their eyes off from each other.

She found Nicole to be quite sweet sometimes. For example, when they ate smoothie together, Nicole would take the spoon and feed Lola. Only then that she will have a spoonful for herself.

And when something fell to the ground, Nicole would walk before her to pick it up.

Nicole often said sweet words to her as well. "Mom, I love you so much."; or "Mom, you are so pretty."; or "Mom, you are awesome."; Things like these would melt Lola's heart...

She was away from Nicole only for a short time. But Nicole seemed to have grown up a lot.

At dinner, Nicole got some food with her chopsticks and put them on her dish. "Mom, your arm hurts so let me take care of you." Her thoughtful words nearly made Lola cry.

When the maid was giving shower to Nicole that night, Lola played with her beside the bathtub. But Nicole was not a little baby now. So basically, they were just chatting.

The maid then left after putting Nicole on bed and cleaning the bathroom.

After thinking for a while, Lola asked, "Did daddy spend time with you and play with you recently?" She knew how busy Harry was. But she didn't want Harry to ignore Nicole just because of his work.

Nicole nodded and answered seriously, "Dad went to see me every day. When he is busy, he would always call me. He is really a great father."

Nicole's answer set Lola's heart at peace. After putting Nicole to sleep, she took a quick shower.

Leaning on the sill of the bathtub, she sighed and thought of how time just flew in her life. She has already stayed here for two days. Time just flies when she was with Nicole.
