Lola knew what she needed as well as what she wanted, but she was still at a loss...
Thomas couldn"t help lowering his head to kiss her.
But the moment his lips touched Lola"s, Lola pushed him away. "Give me two months." She said while wiping her tears off.
If she couldn"t fix her problem with Harry within two months, she would leave that man for good!
"That"s too long." Dissatisfied, Thomas muttered with his hands still on Lola"s shoulders.
Suddenly, a beam of car light sliced through the darkness. Harry drove back...
He turned dauntingly cold upon seeing Lola and Thomas stay close in the dark night.
Harry unfastened his safety belt, got out of the car, scooted to them and pulled the teary Lola aside.
In a second, Harry took off his suit jacket and threw it onto the ground.
Seeing that, Thomas did the same thing, in no fear of the trouble that might arise.
Looking at the two exchanging blows, Lola closed her eyes helplessly. How childish they were! Why did Harry turn hot-headed every time he met Thomas Herren? Lola wondered.
They punched each other with all their strength. Didn"t they feel hurt?
"Stop! Enough!" Lola shouted at them. But Harry and Thomas kept fighting with the slightest intention to stop.
Half a minute later, another car light shone on them. "G.o.d! It"s dad"s car!" Lola really wanted to hide somewhere.
Seeing the two fighting over there, Lola got anxious and thought about how to separate them. She didn"t dare to approach them because she was afraid of getting injured.
"Harry Si, Thomas Herren, stop now. Don"t disgrace yourselves!" She shouted at them again. Still neither of them stopped.
Harold and Angie got out of the car soon. They were shocked to see Harry and Thomas punching each other.
Harold glanced at Lola with confusion. Then he scooted to the men in fight, trying to separate them. Thomas Herren was the President. If his fight was caught on camera by reporters, he would be impeached!
As an experienced solider, Harold was good at martial arts, but he still got punched by accident. Ouch! That was really painful!
"President Herren, Boss Si, please behave yourselves!" Looking at Harry and Thomas, who were at the top in their respective field, Harold couldn"t figure out why their fought.
"You two leave now!" Lola scooted to picked up their suite jackets from the ground and threw them into their arms. Those two bruised men embarra.s.sed Lola in front of her parents.
Thomas came up to Lola, "OK. I am leaving now. But Lola, don"t forget your promise!" Then he nodded at Harold and Angie politely, straightened his clothes and left.
Lola turned to Harry and said, "And you. Leave!" Harry"s look was horrifyingly cold. So what? She was angry with him, too!
Harry ignored Lola. He walked to Harold and Angie and looked at them naturally, "May I talk to Lola for a few minutes?"
Harold had already investigated Harry after that night. But what he could get was quite limited. He only knew that Harry was rich and powerful, and most importantly, Harry had been engaged to the International Queen Yolanda Mo!
Harold didn"t wanted to interfere in their affairs. As long as Lola could be happy, he respected all her choices. "Ten minutes. It"s too late today after all!" He said.
"Thank you." Harry said. Angie patted Lola"s hands to comfort her. Then she got back into the car with Harold and drove towards their villa.
"Is it possible that both President Herren and that guy lose their hearts to Lola?" Angie asked. After thinking for seconds, Harold nodded, "Maybe. They bear no resentment against each other before, but fight in front of a woman. Only rivals in love will do that."
Realizing their a.s.sumption was very likely to be true, they wondered if they were supposed to be happy or feel sorry for Lola. "Maybe one of them is Nicole"s father. I guess it"s Harry Si. Nicole takes after him!" Harold added. Speaking of that, Harold and Angie were lost in thought.
At the doorway of the manor, Harry lit a cigarette and smoked silently.
Minutes later, he finally finished that cigarette and snuffed out the b.u.t.t. Lola glimpsed her watch. There were seven minutes left by then.
Harry gazed at Lola. Then he swooped her up in his arms and kissed her pa.s.sionately.
Lola didn"t push Harry away. Neither did she kiss him back.
Three minutes pa.s.sed. Harry stopped and said, "Lola Li, you are mine. We are destined to be together at all times!" Harry pinched Lola"s chin violently and kissed her again.
Lola struggled to free herself with all her strength and gave him a slap. The whole world was in dead silence suddenly.
Harry glared at Lola, who pulled a long face, with flames of fury in his eyes. It was the second time that Lola had slapped him.
"Harry Si! How shameless of you to say that! I am your ex-wife and you are engaged to another woman now. What are you up to? Do you want me to be your mistress all my life?" Lola shouted at Harry hysterically. How could him keep badgering her while he had been engaged. That was unfair to her! Couldn"t he be in her shoes and consider her?
Lola"s words made him speechless. After a long silence, he said, "Lola Li. You are a vicious woman. So you could only be my mistress!"
Lola raised her hand to slap him at once, but was stopped by Harry.
"Being your mistress? I would rather be Thomas Herren"s wife. What makes you believe I will be trampled by you and that woman all my life?" Lola smiled wryly and looked at Harry with scorn.
Harry gritted his teeth and pressed Lola"s head against his chest furiously, "Lola Li, I said we are destined to be together at all times. If you dare to be with another man, I will let him disappear in this world, no matter who he is and how powerful he is!" Harry"s horrifying look scared Lola. When did he become so cold?
Suddenly, an idea occurred to her. She blurted out, "Harry Si. Nicole is my child, my child with Thomas!" Lola sneered and went towards home, leaving Harry standing there in shock.
It was getting darker and darker. Lola had already left. Standing in the darkness alone, Harry was heartbroken.
That pain in his heart this time was far more intense than that Yolanda had brought to him years ago.
Lola walked into the villa with a mixed feeling and found Harold and Angie sitting on the sofa and waiting for her.
Looking at Lola"s pale face, Harold and Angie glanced at each other out of worry. Angie stood up and came to Lola, "Lola."
"Mother." Lola looked at Angie vacantly.
"What"s going on?" Seeing Lola was inconsolable, Angie asked out of concern.
