Chapter 190 Showing His Love to Her
Chapter 190 Showing His Love to Her
Fascinated by the flickering lights in the distance, she simply nodded in response.
Harry stayed still behind her and put his arms around her waist. Surrounded by an aura of safety and love, Lola willingly fell into his arms, cozy and comfortable. She enjoyed and cherished the serenity of this moment.
Harry held out his hand and pointed ahead.
Confused, Lola squinted and then looked to where his finger pointed. There is a huge electronic billboard. Suddenly, the advertisement changed into a word made up of roses -- Lola, against a background of heart shape and there followed a sentence that said, "Happy Birthday. I love you!"
This breathtaking view was witnessed by many people. Birthday surprises on a huge screen in the city center were definitely not planned by ordinary people. Advertising spaces like this were very expensive!
Lola's heart pounded and there was no way to calm it down. She held his hand around her waist tightly, with her eyes fixed on the billboard.
Was this his way of showing his love to her?
Lola blushed and looked up at Harry who happened to be watching her. She comfortably put her head against his chest.
"Thanks!" There she was, happy and contented. She had never felt like this before. This was something new, and she loved every bit of it.
Harry kissed Lola's soft red lips and looked at the image on the billboard.
He let himself indulge in the moment and spend some time with Lola without being disturbed by anyone or anything.
When Lola finally collected her thoughts and came back to her senses, Harry took her out of the restaurant.
Back at the car, Lola said, "Thank you, Harry. You have made my day complete." With a big smile, she tilted her face and rested her head on his shoulders.
Harry took the chance that the red light provided and gave her a long loving kiss. Lola pouted playfully, "Stop at the next crossing. I'll grab a taxi home." He must have been tired already, from all the issues and stress at work.
Harry gave her a meaningful look, which left Lola wondering about his plans for the future.
She turned around and looked out the window. He was about to drive her home. This beautiful night was about to end.
He was the boss today! However...
This was not the route to her home.
She turned to Harry, puzzled. What was this about? Clearly, this was the way back to Crescent Spring. Lola was good at directions. Was he driving her to Crescent Spring?
"I've called Jordan. He knows that you are staying with me." Harry noticed her confusion, so he explained and assured her.
... He called Jordan? "What did you say to him?"
"That you are mine tonight!" He declared with such pride.
Lola blushed at once. How could her brother say yes to him after everything that happened? "No way. My parents would kill me if I stay out all night again!" She got slightly anxious.
"Jordan will tell them that you have gone to C Country on urgent business. You should need not worry." He skillfully steered the car towards the opposite direction and drove into Crescent Spring.
What else could she say to stop him? She has no other reasons to say no. She has ran out of excuses.
Just when Harry and Lola walked into the villa hand in hand, Joey sneaked out with few other guys.
There was a dim light in the house, but Lola didn't pay attention to it because she was busy changing her shoes.
But the moment she turned around, she was stopped right in her tracks..
She was completely amazed by the scene before her. She covered her mouth with her shaking hands. She didn't know what to feel or think.
A several-meter-long path made of rose petals winded up to the second floor, and jelly candles in goblets were placed along it at both sides. It was such a romantic scene.
Two-tone candles formed letters that spelled "Happy Birthday!"
Harry suddenly became nervous and worried about what Lola would feel. This is just a very simple gesture. He took Lola's hand and led her to the second floor.
When Joey first suggested this plan, he was a bit skeptical. He had not done anything like this before.
Well! He would now double Joey's salary as his reward!
The path of roses and candles, which splendidly lighted up the corridor, led them to Harry's bedroom in the second floor.
The lighting in the bedroom was dusky as well.
Roses were all over the place, surrounding a decorated board saying "Happy Birthday".
Rose petals on the bed creatively formed a shape of a heart.
While Lola was feeling the fresh and tender petals on the floor, she heard Harry calling to her. "Lola."
She turned around. In the dim light, he came closer to her, holding a heart-shaped cake that had two candles representing her age. She had tuned 26 today.
Tears streamed down her face as Harry slowly approached her.
Lola had never experienced such heavenly happiness. This was what love could do and only Harry could make her feel like this!
She never expected a dignified man like Harry would do this sweet gesture for her.
Harry stood before her, putting on his usual charming smile. Watching Lola sobbing, he couldn't help feeling protective towards her.
"Make a wish, Lola." He patiently waited for her as Lola was too excited to think clearly. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Lola wiped her tears, closed her eyes and made a wish. Then they blew the candles together.
When Harry was about to cut the cake, Lola playfully put some cream on his nose and laughed loudly.
Harry put the knife down, took hold of her hand and licked the cream left on her finger.
Lola quivered at his warm touch, and shyly cast her eyes down. Suddenly, she felt something cold was put around her wrist.
She looked down her wrist only to find out Harry putting a lovely-looking watch on her.
She took a closer look and found it mounted with approximately 100 small diamonds!
Then Harry fetched something out of his pocket and gave it to Lola. "Help me wear it."
It was a black version of her watch, except that this one was a man's version. Apparently, Harry had bought a couple watch for both of them.
She took the watch and gently put it on his wrist.
Harry embraced her and whispered, "Happy birthday, Lola!" 'I love you!'
Harry said these words only in his thoughts. He didn't want to give her any more pressure and pain.
Lola held him tightly. "Harry, I'm so happy today!" She was indeed very happy. How she wished this moment of happiness could last forever!
Harry held her delicate face and kissed her tears away. "Do not cry, even if I won't be around in the future!" I love you, Lola.
Even Harry himself didn't know for sure how much he loved her.
Hearing this, Lola was reminded of the fact that he was leaving, and more tears streamed down her already wet cheeks.
But at least, he had given her such a perfect and precious memory as her birthday gift.
She put her arms around Harry's neck and stood on her toes to kiss him gently. This was the best day of her life.
