Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 180

"It must be true love between Harry and Lola. Otherwise, Harry would have married Yolanda long ago.", one reporter named "Spider Man" gleefully said in her concluding line.

"The only truth is that Harry and Yolanda are engaged, and Lola Li is the other woman!", as quoted from "Jumping Heart".

"Maybe Lola's daughter was born out of wedlock too!"

To make it less worse, the child's photo was deliberately blurred. "Looked like a lovely kid though."

In the living room, Harry's grandfather pointed at the newspapers with his quivering finger, and said to Kevin Si, "Look what your son has done! He just hooked up with his ex-wife! Who knows what this will do to the company! If Yolanda's family didn't call, we wouldn't even have known about this ridiculous scandal!"

Kevin calmly replied, "Father! Harry is almost 30. He is capable of taking care of his own business now. I trust him to learn from his mistakes." Kevin had always been proud of Harry, so he would be firmly on Harry's side no matter what. He knows Harry too well.

Harry's grandfather was obviously even more infuriated. "Is he? The scandal was exposed this morning and he still occupies all the entertainment headlines now. It's almost 3 in the afternoon! This is becoming a nationwide gossip!"

He never used to worry about his grandson, but Harry's relationship had become a huge issue recently.

The love triangle four years ago has happened again! If it kept going like this, his grandson would disgrace himself and the name of the company by squeezing himself in intimate relationship with two women at the same time!

Kevin wiped his glasses and put it back on. "Father! It is not easy to judge things when it comes to relationships. The heart is so difficult to teach. Four years ago, Harry married Lola Li. It wouldn't have become complicated, if Yolanda and Rose didn't bother to meddle in their marriage. With an ex-girlfriend and a mom who insisted her choice of daughter-in-law, how could the couple live a peaceful life?"

Kevin had talked to Mrs. Du, from whom he learned that Lola was a very nice person. He also happened to talk to Harry's assistant, Joey, about Lola and also heard favorable comments.

What's more, he trusted his own son! He understands Harry in a way no other person can.

Harry's grandfather pondered while stroking his beard. Yolanda and Harry had been through a lot with each other for the past dozen years. Even if Harry didn't tell him everything, he could always find out.

Four years ago, not long after Yolanda went to D City, Harry, Lola and her were frequently seen on the headlines. It eventually ended with a divorce but his instinct told him that it was not that simple. Maybe their marriage was not very solid in the first place. Or maybe it was Yolanda's wrongdoings that caused the situation. His mind was playing tricks on him but he feels that Harry has been heavily burdened with everything that happened.

Joey told him that Lola left D City and basically did not let Harry see her again immediately after the divorce.

Since then, his grandson became an irritable person and was more often like an icy, emotionless figure when he was not angry.

Now, after all these years, old stories were raked up again. But, this time a child was involved. Things have become even messier.

Was she Harry's daughter?

If so, why didn't Harry take her to introduce to the family?

Or could it be that Lola was seeing Harry with someone else's child?

He would not allow this to happen!

Harry's grandfather picked up phone, wanting to immediately speak to his grandson. He dialed his number and prepared for the worst.

"Grandfather." Harry Si answered, his eyes fixed on the entertainment news online. Apparently, the call had something to do with the news.

Harry's grandfather cleared his throat. "Aren't you supposed to explain to Yolanda's family?" The two families had enjoyed a long-standing friendship, and Harry's grandfather preferred to maintain this connection.

Harry paused. "I don't think so, grandfather. Yolanda will explain by herself." He didn't want to spare time for people he didn't care about at all. He has always been skeptical as to the motives of Yolanda's family.

Instead, the primary concern now was the situation of Lola's family, especially that her relatives were high-ranking officials in the government.

If Lola was considered as a mistress, she would be a shame in the Li Family! He would not let that happen to Lola.

He had taken action with the spreading news and sincerely asked people to delete all the insulting remarks to Lola.

Harry's response clearly irritated his grandfather once again. "Get married with Yolanda as soon as possible! And I insist that you and Lola Li remain friends!"

This might be the only way possible to have both sides winning, he thought.

His finger gripped the computer mouse and he replied, "Grandfather, it's not fair for anyone!" Both father and grandfather were sensible men, so he sometimes would take their advice about certain issues. But he felt that there are other things that require only his decision.

Harry's grandfather thought for a while and said, "In this love triangle, someone is bound to get hurt. Your engagement with Yolanda has been witnessed by the whole world, so you basically have no choice! Come back home and get married!"

"Maybe after I personally apologize to Lola's parents." He couldn't afford to ignore Lola and her family's pain. If he was going to marry Yolanda soon or later, it would be very unfair for her.

Harry's grandfather nodded. He had sensed that Lola was still the priority for Harry.

He couldn't help but wonder how Rose has forced Harry to get engaged to Yolanda. She must have been so manipulative.

"And about that child...", Harry's grandfather tried to sound as mild as possible.

Knowing what his grandfather is going to ask, Harry cut in. "Nicole is not mine." Harry believed that Lola would not lie to him about that!

Nicole? So that's the name of that child. She was not Harry's daughter? Harry's grandfather stroked his beard again and had a feeling that something was wrong. No! Blood relation is a huge issue. He had to go to A Country and find it out by himself.

Harry's grandfather decided to take this matter in his hands. "I see. Anyway, come back ASAP and get married!" He urged in a tone of desperation.

If it were not his grandfather, Harry would have hung up before he was pushed to get married again and again!

"Yes, grandfather!" He hung up, thought for a while and decided to call Lola.

"I need to see you in my office." He didn't want to but it seemed that he had to choose his mother over Lola...

Lola was terribly distracted and hurt by the news that spread all over the Internet. It all felt like four years ago!

The only difference from four years ago was that she had Nicole now. Thankfully, the paparazzi who probably hadn't lost all conscience, had the presence of the mind to blur Nicole's face.

Receiving Harry's call, she had a hunch that something big was happening.

The fact that she and Harry used to be married and the rumor that she was the other woman was ironic and confusing. It was not a secret in the company now.

Lola fixed her long hair to a bun and walked out of the office. She could see several colleagues whispering to each other.

But they all stopped when they saw Lola. Lola walked to them and calmly said, "Not everything is as it seems. Don't conclude easily. Just do your job!"

Then, in absolute silence, she went into the elevator, her high heels making a loud tapping noise.

As she stepped into the CEO office floor, Joey greeted her. "Miss Li, Boss Si said that you can go in anytime to his office as soon as you get here."

Lola smiled and nodded to him.

When she walked into Harry's office, cigarette smoke immediately blanketed her. Lola frowned and walked to him.

She took the half-finished cigarette from him and threw it to the ashtray.

Looking steadily at Harry, she said, "If you die because of smoking, I will just find another man to spend the rest of my life with!"

Harry jumped to his feet and pushed Lola to the wall, intending to kiss her.

But he stopped at the last moment.

From his behavior, Lola understood right away what Harry was thinking about and planning to do. Her instinct told her to get ready to be hurt.
