Chapter 423
Harry drove a Ferrari from the garage, which was initially purchased for Yolanda, but was put under Lola's name later.
Lora bought two bouquets of flowers and then went to the cemetery.
The cemetery in which Catharine's and Lavender's tombs were was very clean.
She put the blooming pot mums in front of Catharine's tomb while looking at her smiling grandmother's photo on the grave. She couldn't help herself, and suddenly and unexpectedly started weeping. "Dear grandmother, Lola's come to see you."
Tears were streaming down her cheeks. Her grandmother had loved her very much...
Harry wiped away her tears, and said, "Please, don't cry. Grandmother is looking at you, and you would sadden her soul if she saw you crying any longer."
Lola nodded, and while wiping away her tears, she said, "I will not cry again, dear grandmother. Look, I am happy now! Look! I am pregnant with two children!" She still could not help weeping, although she had promised not to. "Grandmother will be very happy when she see her great-grandchildren.
I'll also take Nicole here to see my mother and grandmother."
Harry heard Lola say that she was happy, and he smiled with the corners of his mouth pointing upwards. He had to keep her happy forever.
He bowed at Catharine's tomb and then took Lola to Lavender's tomb.
Lavender died when Lola was only a teenager, and although Lola knew that she was not her real biological mother, she still loved her with all her heart.
She would never forget the grace of her true loving and caring upbringing.
She remembered that when she was young, and her family was not that rich, Lavender and Carl had always made sure that they provided her with the best kind of things which they could get and afford. They even avoided spending money for their own needs.
And as time went on, their family's pecuniary status had gradually improved. They then treat her even better, almost provided her with everything she ever wanted.
But Lavender died when Lola was still young.
"Mum, I've come to see you... Are you alright there? I haven't seen you for such a long time." She was murmuring, touching Lavender's grave photo...
When they left the cemetery, Lola was still in low spirits. Harry controlled the car's steering wheel with one hand while grasping her hands with the other.
He came to Dreles one day before he was actually scheduled to arrive to allow her to visit her relatives' graves.
Then he drove the car to a shabby villa.
Lola was in a daze when she saw the villa, and was looking at the man unfastening her seat belt with a bewildered look in her eyes. "Why did he take me here..." she wondered.
After getting out of the car, Harry took a bunch of keys out of his pocket and opened the villa's door.
"Why does he have the key to my former house?"
Every corner of the house was filled with memories, since she had lived there for more than ten years in the past.
And to her greatest surprise, all the things inside had remained unchanged. All the things were in the same as they had left them. The piano, on which she had practiced for several years was in the same place she had always played it, some of her grandmother's oil paintings were in their same place on the wall, the table that was chosen with father...
"Go up to the second floor and have a look." The man's gentle voice rose.
She opened the door of the study and then her own bedroom, covering her mouth flabbergasted.
All the things were in the exact same place, looking exactly as she had left them, with her bed covered with white cloth. She removed the white cloth covering the dresser her father had bought for her when she was young. There were only a few specks of dust on the mirror, but other than that, all things had remained the same.
She looked at the man behind her with full gratitude in her eyes, and said, "It was you, wasn't it?" Was everything done by him?
Harry noticed the surprise and gratitude that showed in her eyes and nodded. He had spent many hours in order to restore all the things in the house in their initial positions.
He was satisfied with the happiness glowing in her eyes.
She hugged the man tightly in her arms. He was really good to her.
"How will I ever repay him for all that he has done for me?" wondered Lola. "Thank you, my dear husband."
Harry smiled and embraced his wife. "I am happy if you are happy." He owed her too much.
Lola opened one of the windows and looked towards east, and a beautiful forest of peach trees caught her eye.
Since it wasn't spring now, there were no flowers blossoming in the trees.
That was the place where she had met with Zoe, and although the peach tree forest had remained unchanged, he wasn't there with her now. "Zoe, are you all right there?" she thought.
"See, that's the place I first met with Zoe." She pointed at the forest and told Harry all about it.
Harry then looked at the forest, remembering the unselfish man. He had given his own life for theirs.
"After you give birth, I will take you to see him." He stood with her and let her lean against his shoulder.
The surroundings were quiet, and Lola felt that she was in a dream.
In her dream, she had come back to her childhood, during her school years...
She felt her father's love for her, her grandmother's care, her mother's happy expression sparkling in her eyes.
But then she suddenly snapped out of it when she saw the man besides her.
After leaving the villa, Harry gave the key to Lola, and said, "I was going to give this key to Carl, but he didn't want to come back to Dreles, so I didn't force it unto him."
The man then drove the car back to Pearl Spring.
Lola, while looking at the rusty key in her hand, remembered of her father, and said, "After I give birth, let's take Dad to Uthana for several days!" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
The man nodded, and then reached out his hand and grasped hers tightly.
"Honey, are you still angry with me?" When the light was red, he seized the opportunity to ask her.
Lola couldn't help raising her mouth, and glanced at him sweetly. "Today I am not angry with you anymore. As for tomorrow, it all depends on my mood!"
He knew she was deliberate with her answer, and so he kissed her and drove on when the light turned green.
Under his request, for the next three months Lola spent all her time laying on the bed or watching the
sea on the balcony.
Lola's body became really heavy when she reached almost nine months of pregnancy. Everyone was now on the alert.
Jemmy had been finally trapped in one of Harry's ambushes and was caught by him.
And Yolanda was touching her belly thoughtfully in a shabby apartment.
She knew that everything was over. But she was unwilling to have her demise in such conditions. Even if she was going to die, she still wanted someone to die along with her.
Thinking of this, she went out of the apartment without caring about the other people's disdainful looks.
She came to the Leroy Manor, and she let the guard tell Lola that someone wanted to visit her.
Lola knew that it was Yolanda, and definitely refused to see her. Yolanda then started yelling and protesting in front of the Leroy Manor's gates, but the guard didn't dare to stop her, considering that she was pregnant.
Harry was in his company. The guard called Lola again.
Lola thought that Yolanda wouldn't make any trouble on her grounds.
And so she let the guard allow her to come in, but entrusted him to come together with her. The guard said yes and came in with Yolanda, and another called Harry to report on what was happening.
Lola then saw the woman, who was also pregnant, entering the manor's door.
