Chapter 204

The eldest son in the family had never maintained a good relationship with Zoe. The wife of Andrewdidn't like Zoe at all and gave him a hard time.

As raised in a family like that, Zoe developed a serious depression after he moved from Dreles to theDawson family in Ascea.

He refused to take any treatment and said no to one-on-one counseling from psychologists. Hepreferred to take a natural route to getting rid of his depression, but it never happened. Last December,he even took too many sleeping pills to commit suicide and was just fortunate to still live.

Andrew treated his son like a stranger.

Today he had set this mourning hall here as a very pretentious move!

"Mr. Dawson, you know very well how Zoe lived his life. Now that he is dead, I hope you could havesome sympathy and honor him with a decent ceremony. You should also sincerely recognize him andhis mother as part of your family." Harry held the weeping Lola in his arms and stared coldly at Andrewwho apparently felt uneasy at his words. In his eyes, Andrew was feeling uncomfortably guilty.

Without hesitation, Harry continued, "This is not my business to be honest. I am in no position to evenbother. However, he saved the lives of the Newman family and the Lewis family. If you do what I say, Iwill treat you as my friend for the sake of Zoe. However, if you do not follow my instructions on thismatter, you need to bear the consequences of it. Zoe is family to me and I do everything I can for myloved ones."

His threat was so obvious that Andrew changed his face in an instant. He understood the power of the

Lewis family and the Newman family. He didn't dare to fight them both. Therefore, he gave a forcedsmile and replied, "Of course you are right. Zoe was my son. I will surely give him a decent ceremony.Thank you."

With these words, he turned to his eldest son and ordered him to reserve a tomb at the Mountgraveyard. The Mount graveyard was located in the eastern side of the capital of Ascea. It wassurrounded by beautiful mountains and lakes and was considered to be the most expensive graveyardin the whole Ascea.

But in the mind of the eldest son, Zoe was merely a bastard in the Dawson family. He did not deservethis expensive ceremony!

He cast a quick questioning look at his father and just buried his curse inside him. Without sayinganything in return, he went off to reserve the tomb.

It was only after people heard about Harry's visit to the Dawson family, that more of them showed up atthe mourning hall.

Those who arrived early even had the chance to meet Harry in person.

After Harry paid his respect to Zoe's coffin, he took off with Lola, who had now calmed down a bit.

He opened the back door of the Maserati for her and then sat into the car himself.

Many people saw them taking off, but they all kept silent and didn't dare to talk to them.

Inside the car, Harry held Lola in a warm embrace. He could read the sadness in her eyes as she

rested her head on his strong shoulder. How he wish he could just take her loneliness away. He reallycouldn't bear looking at her like this.

They did not talk to each other as Lola kept thinking about the past when Zoe was still alive and howthey used to be so happy when they are together. Harry knew this and respected her silence. Harrylooked at Lola with great pity as she held tightly onto Zoe's letter. Then he broke the silence and said toher, "Zoe would not rest in peace if you keep behaving like this. He did not have any regret in savingyour life so you could be happy."

He loved her. He must have hoped dearly for her happiness!

"He will only rest in peace once you are happy again. Whenever we have some time, we will alwaysvisit his tomb."

Lola closed her eyes. She wiped away the tears as she sat up straight.

Yes! She needed to carry on with her life happily. She needed to be brave and move on! Zoe wouldlove to see her happy, wouldn't he? It was just that all of these had happened so quickly and she hadnot been able to understand why and how.

She tried very hard to control her feelings while Harry's next words made her tears stream down herface again.

"I am leaving tomorrow morning. You need to take good care of yourself once I am gone. You are astrong woman, Lola. I have always believed in you."

Lola bit her bottom lip hard. Her heart trembled as she remembered Yolanda's words that they weregoing to have a wedding in three months' time!

Zoe left her and now it was his turn...

"Oh, just go!" It would be okay because she still had Nicole and her family!

Besides, she was confident to win him back. She could feel Harry coming back to her. She promisedherself that she would try her best as she had nothing to lose!

Harry pressed her head against his chest. She could hear his strong heartbeat, a heart beating only forher. He wanted to kiss her like there was no tomorrow but he controlled himself and let go of hereventually. He did not want to hurt her again.

He hated himself for being like this but he had no choice. He wished that there was another universewhere they could be together…and he could kiss her whenever he wanted to.

Lola stared at Harry with mixed feelings, as she opened the car door and went to sit on the driver'sseat.

Harry opened the car door as well. Maybe this was goodbye already. His expensive leather shoestouched the ground as he was about to leave the car. Her steady voice spoke, "Mr. Lewis, I will see youoff tomorrow as the acting CEO of the company!"

"I look forward to it!" He cast one final glance at her, hoping that she would also look back. She did not.Heartbroken, he left the car.

Harry returned to the Maybach. As Joey started the engine, Harry opened his mouth, "Use my privatejet to send Yolanda and my parents to Uthana. I will take a civilian flight tomorrow myself."

Joey was confused at this. What was he planning to do? The all-powerful and VIP, Harry, had decidedto take a common flight. However, he did not question him at all. "Yes Boss!"

Later that night, while Lola was still discussing business with one of her important clients over dinner,she received a text message that read, "Flight takes off at 10 AM."

She paused as she thought about her remarks earlier. With mixed feelings, she turned the cellphoneoff.

She adjusted her mood, maintained her composure and continued her meeting with the clientprofessionally.

At 9 am next day.

Lola felt restless as she stared at her phone. She had been constantly checking the time and felttortured by her own thoughts.

At 9:20 AM, she could not fight herself anymore. She got off the bed, put on decent clothes and racedher Maserati to the airport.

When she finally reached the airport, it was already 9:48.

"Attention please, we are now boarding the guests of flight C330 to Vleydon in Uthana. Attentionplease…" The sweet voice of the airport announcer echoed in the hall. Lola frantically ran towards the

VIP lounge.

A man dressed in dark blue suit showed up. His hands were in his pocket and he looked absolutelystunning as he wore black elegant sunglasses.

As if he had sensed her presence, he stopped and turned around.

The moment their eyes met, her heart was screaming for him!

She could not hold back her feelings. She fell in love with him because of his look, then she discoveredhis talent and finally got conquered by his personality! Harry had taken over her and she could neverresist him.

But more importantly, she loved him because he was her husband.

The passport was merely a piece of cold paper but it tied them together.

They were bond to share honor and grace ever since.

Her heart was forever connected to him.

They had gone through the good time and the bad times and she sure had beautiful and irreplaceablememories.

His face was so handsome and looked like a perfect masterpiece by a sculptor. Now, he gazed at herwith his unique bright smile.

She did not pay attention to the looks from the other people and started running towards him. She flewinto his open arms.

He felt as if struck by a lightning when her body touched his. The spark between them was undeniable.

Her eyes were so lovely and her soft lips were inviting. She was wearing a neat white chiffon dress andshe had a pair of red high heels on her feet.

They gazed at each other warmly as if the rest of the world no longer mattered. It was like a romanticmovie scene.

Their tongues touched. As his breath steamed against her fragile skin, Lola was completely lost.

They were indeed a stunning couple. Even the sunglasses on their faces could not hide away theircharm.

The boarding passengers all turned their heads towards their direction.

But in the end, he still chose to leave her behind and board the plane.

Lola stood in the departure hall and saw his plane take off in front of the ceiling-to-floor windows.

Ascea had a great weather that day. The sky was clear blue with clouds dotting on it like candy floss.

Lola whispered to herself, "Harry, we shall meet again soon!" With that, she put on a smile on her faceand became excited to face her life again.

Things went back to normal after Harry left.

But Lola could not lie to herself and she felt that life without Harry was kind of pointless.

Every day, she tried to bury herself in tedious work. She kept herself busy by meeting with differentclients. One day, she finished her work as usual and was about to head home.

Next to her car stood a man who she hadn't seen for a long time.

Thomas saw Lola coming and gave her a big smile. She looked even slimmer than last time! She mustbe busy with her new job as the acting CEO. She must have been skipping meals. "Lola, are youfinished working?"

Lola spun the car key around her finger and smiled back. "Hey President Herren, how come you arefree today? This is a pleasant surprise."
