Although the next day was already Sunday, Harry still went to the company as the business became busier during the peak season.

Therefore, Lola drove to the old house alone. She was a bit nervous.

Instead of going to the company, Rose was also in the old house because she had to take care of Nicole.

Seeing Nicole running around the house, her great-grandfather laughed happily. Kevin was also in the company at that moment. Rose was tirelessly chasing after her. "My dear little Nicole, would you like to come to grandmother here so you could eat some fruits?"

"Nicole, my sweetheart, run slowly and please take care! You might trip and hurt yourself!" Rose looked at her granddaughter who was running fast. Her heart jumped at this as she was afraid that she would get hurt.

Lola pressed the doorbell of the old house and it was Rose that opened it.

After she saw Lola, Rose's happy expression immediately changed into a sour one.

"Auntie, I come to pick up Nicole. I'll take care of her for the time being." Then she handed Rose a bag and said, "This is the perfume I brought you from Canada. Would you like to have a look? It's really a popular brand." Lola looked at Rose with full of expectation.

Rose took the handbag from her hand with a grim face, walked outside then threw it into trash can without even giving a look at it.

Seeing this, Lola recalled the first time she saw Rose in D City a few years ago. The gift she sent to her had also been thrown away like this. Anger rose inside her.

Lola suppressed the uncomfortable feelings and thought of Harry, the man who cared about her. She remembered that she was doing this for Harry. Then, a smile reappeared on her face as she entered the living room.

"Mommy!" Nicole rushed over to her in a burst of excitement.

Lola immediately squatted down to catch her daughter, "Nicole, Mommy missed you so much! Did you miss me too?" Then she kissed her daughter's chubby cheeks time and time again.

Nicole held onto her mother's neck, "Mommy, I missed you too." She was so happy to finally see her mother! It has been a long time that she was away.

Lola walked in front of Senior Si, stopped and put Nicole down.

"Grandfather." She greeted the old man politely.

He looked at her with a smile, nodded and asked graciously, "Well, how was your travel abroad? Did you enjoy every bit of it?"

Lola was happy when she heard his words and nodded. "Well, it was so great, grandfather. Here's the maple leaf tea for you and my uncle. There's some maple syrup but it's really sweet so you can just try a little bit. Then this is the American ginseng. You can soak it in hot water every now and then. I heard that it can protect the cardiovascular system and improve your immune system!"

Senior Si constantly nodded with pleasure and took them all. He has always been fond of Lola.

But when she saw her daughter-in-law squinting in anger behind him, he asked gently, "Have you bought anything for your aunt?"

Lola took a look at him embarrassingly. He then interpreted it like she forgot to take a present to Rose.

He quickly pushed the gifts and put them in front of her, "Go and see what she likes. After all, feelings need to be nourished, too."

Lola looked at him and shook her head. She has no intentions to hide the truth anymore. "I actually bought Auntie a bottle of perfume and gave it to her just now, but..."

She did not finish her sentence, but the old man already understood.

As his face fell into disappointment, he replied, "Good girl. Someday, she will like you too. Aren't you coming to pick up Nicole? Go and come back to your home. Nicole misses you both so much! I will come to visit you when I'm free."

"Rose has gone too far." Senior Si signed.

"Okay, goodbye, grandpa. Goodbye, auntie. I am going to take Nicole back!" Holding Nicole's hands, Lola walked towards the door.

After Lola left with Nicole, Rose came back to her room as her father-in-law walked outside the house.

There really was a newly-packed handbag in the trash can outside the door. He took it out and recognized the English letters on it, which read "perfume".

He knew his daughter-in-law didn't like Lola, but she was too much this time! She was too rude!

So he took the perfume out, threw away the bag and returned to the house.

When Lola took Nicole back to villa, it was almost dinner time as Mrs. Du was already preparing dinner in the kitchen.

She took out her phone and sent Harry a message on the Wechat, "Will you come back for dinner?"

"Would you like me to go back? I will if you want me to." Soon, there came a quick reply. Lola didn't know if she would laugh or cry when she read Harry's reply.

After thinking about it, she satisfied him by saying, "Of course! I would like you to come back. And be early if you are not busy. I miss you already."

Harry rushed back at dinner time with a lot of documents, preparing to stay up at night to work in the study.

Before he started to eat, Harry picked up some food to Nicole's bowl and then to Lola's.

Looking at him sweetly and lovingly doing this, Lola was very moved. She dug a spoonful of cheese corn kernels and put it by the side of his mouth.

He willingly ate the corn kernels from her spoon with a smile. Then, Nicole started to protest, "Mommy, I also want you to feed me corn!"

Hearing that, Lola looked at her daughter. She was really cute! Lola had no choice but to hold Nicole's little spoon, get a bit of corn again and feed it into her mouth. Nicole smiled and was satisfied.

"Nicole, after the meal, daddy will take you and your mommy to go shopping. So finish your dinner quickly, okay?" Harry looked at Nicole with a loving smile.

Nicole nodded immediately, and ate her dinner with more enthusiasm.

Go shopping? Lola thought that she just moved here. Indeed, it was necessary to buy some things.

After dinner, Harry carried Nicole to the car as Lola ran upstairs to change to a dress.

After she got in the car, the three headed for the city center.

Every time they go shopping with Nicole, they must get her an ice cream. That was his all-time favorite! "Daddy, I would like to have an ice-cream. Can you buy me one, please?"

Lola stopped her, "It is cold today, so you can't."

Nicole immediately pouted to show her dissatisfaction, "I just want to eat ice cream! Daddy! Please!" Nicole was so smart that she turned to ask Harry instead of Lola. She knew that her father would not be able to resist her.

...... Lola speechlessly looked at her daughter who were trying to please her father. "Harry, you cannot let her eat that. She might get sick."

Looking at his daughter's really cute face, Harry thought for a second and suggested, "How about this? Daddy will buy two ice-cream balls. One for you and one for me?" He always wanted to satisfy her daughter!

Nicole thought about it and nodded. She held Harry's neck and said quietly, "Daddy, we don't share it with mommy." Because mommy always stopped her from having the ice-cream!

Harry smiled and said something nice for his wife, "Mommy does not allow you to eat ice cream because it's really cold right now. It would be easy to get sick if you eat it. And if that happens, you won't get to play anymore!"

Nicole nodded as if she had understood. Then she looked at his mother's serious look and said, "Fine, then we can let her eat a little bit!"

Nicole's sweet voice forced Harry and Lola to burst into laughter.

Harry went to the ice cream shop, and Lola held Nicole as they waited for him.

Soon, Harry came out of the shop with several blushing girls following behind him.

.... This man was really good at attracting women and girls! Those girls looked like they were just 18 years old. And they were following a man like this? Oh, what had happened to the youth...
