"Yes. I need to go up the mountain early tomorrow morning to check again and decide how to develop it." Echo Bay was a remote village. Due to inconvenient transportation, schools there seldom got financial aid. The original village must be of interest to the people outside.
"How do I persuade my father to go with me? And how about my grandpa and grandma? Will they be willing to leave here?" Lola asked while lying in Harry"s arms and stroking his chest.
Harry grasped her hand with one hand and pinched her with the other hand. "Hey, stop!" Harry said in a hoa.r.s.e voice. There arose Lola"s giggle at once. He knew Lola was seducing him deliberately!
"You can ask them first. It will be the best if they are willing to go with you. If not, I can finance schools here to improve father"s teaching environment. And I can also develop scenic spots to improve their living standard. After all, Echo Bay is a good place for them to spend the rest of their lives." Harry replied. If Lola liked, he would take her to live in seclusion. No one would disturb them then. How wonderful it would be!
After thinking, Lola agreed what Harry said.
Life here was no so bad. She really enjoyed the peaceful and happy life with Harry and Nicole here! How she wished this moment could last forever!
In the Crescent Spring in A Country.
Yolanda had been keeping calling Harry, but his number could not be connected at the moment.
She had to ask Joey. According to Joey, Miss Li asked several days off for personal business; Miss Tan would be responsible for their cooperation with Joseph before Lola came back; and Boss Si went on a three or four-day business trip abroad. But she found Harry didn"t book any flight at all.
"Harry didn"t go abroad! Lola Li asked for a leave. There is no such coincidence. They must be together!" Yolanda thought angrily. But she couldn"t find out where exactly they were...
She prepared candlelight dinner for Harry and bought his favorite wine. But he was not in A Country!
Yolanda"s face was distorted in anger. She picked up the prepared take-out steaks and wine and threw them onto the ground angrily.
Harry never informed her where he was going. Who did he take her for? Was she nothing to him?
In the daytime, She saw Joseph browsing his Wechat moment in the photo studio. She glimpsed a photo. It was Lola Li holding a little girl who took after her very much.
"Is she Harry"s daughter? No. Harry would never let his daughter live away from Si Family. Then whose daughter is she? Anyway, no matter whose daughter is she, she is a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. How could Lola Li keep seducing Harry when she has a daughter?" Yolanda thought. She picked up her mobile phone and called Rose Mu.
She concealed the fact that Lola was the daughter of the Li Family in A Country. She just told her that Lola was still seducing Harry when she had already had a daughter.
After hearing Yolanda"s complaint, Rose Mu decided to fly to A Country as soon as Harry went back. She couldn"t believe that Lola Li was working in SL Group again.
Before 7 am next day, Harry got up. Lola felt warm and cosy in bed, so she didn"t want to get up. After wrapping herself in the quilt, she moved to Nicole, hold her in arms and went on sleeping.
However, Nicole woke up too. "Good morning, daddy!" Nicole grinned while looking at Harry who was putting on his jacket.
What Nicole just called Harry awoke Lola. "Nicole, he is your uncle Harry!"
Harry didn"t mind what Lola said. He smiled at Nicole, "Good morning." Harry picked up Nicole, who was in pajamas, and seat her on the edge of the bed.
Lola turned around and found Harry kept emotionless...
It was a little cold in the morning in the countryside. Harry fished out a pair of small trousers and a thick coat from the suitcase.
Then he walked to Nicole, unb.u.t.toned her pajamas and dressed her clumsily.
Seeing that, the sleepy Lola woke up totally! "Straighten the trousers first." She lay on the bed and instructed the unskillful Harry who started sweating.
It was finally done. "Don"t you get up? I am going up the mountain. Are you going with me?" Harry asked while stroking Lola beneath the quilt.
Lola pulled up the quilt to cover her head at once and bit Harry"s hand.
Feeling painful, Harry withdrew his hand at once. There was a row of slight bite mark left.
Harry kissed that bite mark in front of Lola. "You pervert!" Lola rolled her eyes at Harry, but soon smiled.
Nicole kept shifting her gaze between Harry and Lola and asked curiously, "Uncle Harry, are you playing with mommy?"
"No. Nicole. Let"s go wash up!" Harry said while holding her hand.
Minutes later, Lola finally got up. She went to the yard and found Nicole was washing her face by herself under the guidance of Harry.
There was only one tap in the yard. So they used that tap for almost everything, such as brushing teeth, washing face, washing clothes, washing vegetables and so on.
Lola stretched herself and walked to them.
"Mommy. We have brushed our teeth! You are lazy!" Nicole giggled while washing her face.
"I will hurry up!" Harry squeezed paste on a new toothbrush and delivered it to Lola. Lola was a little bit surprised and take over the toothbrush. She remembered that Harry also did that for her if he didn"t have to wake up early for work before they got divorced.
Mrs. Niu was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen and laid out dishes on the dining table in the living room.
"Hurry up. Breakfast is ready!" Carl urged them. Hearing that, Lola nodded at her father. Harry wiped his face with a towel and applied some moisturizer on it. Then he helped Nicole wipe her face. "Uncle Harry, help me apply some." Nicole said in a tender voice.
Harry rubbed some moisturizer in his hands for a long time while staring at Nicole"s little face. He had no idea how to apply it for others, especially for a kid.
"Uncle Harry, be quick!" Nicole said. Then she raised her face, closed her eyes and kept her mouth closed.
"Just go ahead!" Harry decided. He walked behind Nicole, squatted down and then started smearing the moisturizer on her face.
"Uncle Harry, you smeared it into my mouth! It"s sweet. Please smear some on my forehead..." Nicole"s voice resounded the yard.
Lola, who was standing nearby and brushing her teeth, was amused by them. "Nicole, he had never done this for anyone before. You should be content." Lola thought.
After breakfast, Harry told Carl he was going up the mountain to check around.
Carl nodded and asked him to watch out. Then he went to the school with Nicole.
Lola went with Harry. They went across a stone bridge, pa.s.sed several waterfalls and reached the foot of a mountain.
Harry held Lola"s hand and climbed up the mountain.
It was in the early morning. There were dew on green leaves around them. Several villagers carrying heavy bamboo baskets were walking down the mountain.
