Cosset You Forever

Chapter 272 So I Let You

Lola smiled, a sly grin, thinking, of course, she was going back to her room, Harry was still on the phone waiting.

"Good night, Wendy!" She said over her shoulder as she slipped back to her room.

Wendy felt lucky to have a friend who would go to such lengths to help her.

She thought as she closed the door and climbed back into bed.

Jordan saw the color returning to her cheeks and was curious, "What did Lola whisper to you?"

Wendy lay with her back to him smiling happily. She rolled over and kissed Jordan's cheek.

Jordan touched his face, amazed as he looked down at Wendy's back. He wondered what was it his sister had said to his wife.

He thought momentarily to let it go, but no, he must know!

Holding her by the waist, he leaned against her back and whispered in her ear. "Tell me," he teased, "or I may not let you go today." He urged her playfully.

Wendy rubbed her ear; it felt tickled and itchy after he had spoken softly into it. She turned back once again to face him and looped her arm around his neck.

She looked at him seriously and told him, "I will trust you in the future."

Through this incident, Wendy realized, that couples need to trust each other to be happy.

Jordan smiled with satisfaction, "You believe me that the child is not mine then?" Jordan wondered whether Lola had investigated that.

Wendy nodded, her heart heavy, "I am sorry, you are my husband, and I should have had faith in you. I will only trust you in the future." She kissed him, and Jordan swallowed the words that he had wanted to say, instead, enjoying this moment reaffirming the intimate bond of trust between husband and wife.

Lola closed the door and flounced on the bed as she grabbed the phone. She smiled into the receiver excitedly exclaiming, "Hello!" to her fiance on the other end.

Harry turned his attention away from his computer's monitor when he heard her voice.

"Did you tell them?" He asked.

"Yes!" she replied, her joy could be heard bubbling over in her voice. "Thank you, Mr. Si!" she said coyly. Lola rolled over, laying on her back, she listened to him on the other end.

Hearing her refer to him as Mr. Si, Harry smiled. She had a lot of names for him.

"Call me darling!" He demanded.

... Lola blushed, "Not now, it is too soon!" After all, she had only just accepted his proposal, and they were not married yet.

"You must, now, honey" The words sounded so natural, and reminded Lola that he had called her honey four years ago in the D City.

Lola procrastinated, drawing the silence out longer, before she almost whispered, "Honey."

Just then, it was like he was in the same room as Lola.

Harry was a traditional gentleman, and enjoyed the simple marital terms of endearment.

"I want to see you now!" He said before hanging up.

Lola looked puzzled at Harry hanging the phone up suddenly.

Just as sudden, she received a WeChat request for a video call. Looking at the incoming request she smiled, so that was it! Lola smiled sweetly and pressed the answer button.

Harry aimed the camera, so only his computer appeared on the tiny screen while he watched as the small image of Lola came into view.

"Where are you?" she pouted. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

His breathing was her only answer and listening to his; she could not help but blush.

She looked at the phone, confused. What was he doing, she wondered

"Turn on the lights." He ordered coolly.

...

Speechless at his behest, Lola reached to flick the light on obediently.

Harry made a few more requests...

After a time, Harry set the phone down on the table and went into the bathroom.

... Lola was lying in bed silently thinking.

A few minutes later, the black screen grew brighter when Harry picked his phone up and finally she was looking at him, instead of the computer.

His handsome face smiled back on the screen. She saw he was wrapped in a bath towel.

"You should go to sleep. I'll go to the bedroom to work." Nicole couldn't stay alone for too long.

As he walked towards the door with his laptop, Lola looked at the clock and saw it was past ten at night.

She warned, "Don't work too late."

He opened the bedroom door and offered in a hushed voice "Okay."

"Wait a minute!" Lola added anxiously, "Aim the camera at my baby and let me see her please." Harry set his laptop on the table and walked across the room.

Nicole's slumbering face appeared on the screen, with Harry standing at her bedside.

"My lovely baby, bisou."

Then the phone was shifted, and she saw him looking at her playfully, "I want one too."

...

Lola said at once, "Alright, my husband, bisou!" "Satisfied? My husband?" Lola thought.

Harry nodded. "Get some sleep now. I will send Hans Zhao to replace you at work as soon as possible." He was sending Hans Zhao who was the deputy CEO of the company.

Lola thought a moment and asked, "Are you sending Hans Zhao so he can take over my job right away after we are married?"

"Ah, you see that now do you?" He said casually to the phone while he sat and perused the emails on his computer.

Lola looked at his profile on the tiny screen, speechless. Had he planned this all along? "Why did you allow me to go to court if you had planned to marry me?" She complained.

He chuckled. "You wanted to do that, so I let you!"

It dawned on Lola suddenly and she remembered the lawyer who took the initiative to make an appointment but did not contact her later. "Was the lawyer sent by you too?" She jumped up from the bed angry at his cool response.

"Smart girl, yes."

"Harry Si!" she was infuriated now. She glared at his image on the screen. His actions and now his calm demeanor made her want to beat him. "Why are you not here?" She said through gritted teeth.

"Why, be at your side?" He asked, "So you can bite me?" She exploded again as he watched, smiling. She was quite hot-tempered. He was amused.

Lola was paralyzed all of a sudden, wondering, did he know everything?

All right, she calmed herself down, for the sake of his proposal she put it aside and said, "Don't work too late and get to sleep soon."

Harry listened to her tone and looked at her with raised eyebrows. What? Was she so unhappy, she would not even argue?

"I'll bring Nicole to A Country in two days. Tell your family to expect us." He reminded her.

"For what?" she asked curtly, still thinking, this stinky guy! The bad part of a long-distance relationship was that she couldn't snap at him!

"What for? To make you my wife right and proper!" His smile lit up his eyes.

Lola grinned. That was more like it. "Well, if there's no decent betrothal gift and grand wedding, I will not!" "Marry!" she paused between each word for emphasis. "You!" She added willfully.

Harry smiled. "If I had nothing to offer but me, would you marry me?"

"Humph, no, I would find a sugar daddy! I would ride on the coattails of rich men!" She annoyed him deliberately.

Even though he knew she was not serious and she was saying things she knew would annoy him, his smile vanished. "Lola Li, I will fly there now and take you!" He threatened.

Lola stuck out her tongue. "Fine, I am going to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow!"

"Good night!" He looked at his watch and it was past eleven pm now. She should have been to sleep already.
