Chapter 386
The business was exceptionally good even though the coffee price was at least two-thirds higher than that of LN.
Being absent in the company for two months, Harry had accumulated so much work that he needed to dealt with it day and night.
As it is, he decided not to contact Lola for the meantime. He thought that this would also give her a chance to think matters over.
How time just passed by! Lola suddenly realized that she would be twenty-seven years old, as her birthday was just around the corner. It was the day before her birthday.
Last year, Harry gave her a birthday celebration that she would never forget, and Zoe gave her a crystal bracelet as his gift. She also received many lipsticks from Herren, and many of them were still kept there and unopened.
When Lola got back home at night, she opened a drawer. There was a delicate jewelry box inside.
The crystal bracelet that Zoe gave her was in that box. She had kept it carefully all these months...
Zoe had passed away for almost a year, and yet Lola didn't have the courage to wear the bracelet. It was a thing that would make her think of Zoe. Whenever she thought of him, she would just drop into grief, like now...
Every time she saw the bracelet, Lola would feel that Zoe was just around her. "Zoe, I will be 27 years old tomorrow. What gift will you give me this year?" She muttered to herself. What responded to her
was the mere silence.
Early the next morning, Lola went to Strinas Cemetery with a bouquet of chrysanthemums.
After visiting the grave of Zoe, she came back to LN.
At noon, all her relatives were with her, except for Joseph and Lillian. They went to a restaurant to celebrate her birthday.
They were very happy, but Lola felt a little emptiness in her heart. It was because Nicole and Harry were not here…
Did he forget my birthday? Lola was having doubts already. For more than a month, except some several calls with Nicole, she hadn't heard from Harry. Not even a single call.
After lunch, Lola left the restaurant with her little nephew in her arms.
At the time she turned her little nephew over to his mother, her phone rang. There was a message from Thomas on WeChat.
"Lola, Happy Birthday!"
She smiled. Even Herren could still remember her birthday, but Harry…The emptiness overwhelmed her again.
She answered the message quickly, "Thank you! Take care of yourself. You have too much work to do." When she stayed in Zacrye, she always saw Mr. Herren working from morning until night. At times,
Herren would also be on a business trip for several days in a row. He really needed to take good care of himself or he would always get sick.
A new message notified soon after: "I will. You too." Herren found out that Lola and Harry were not together now. However, he was already married and could do nothing about Lola.
"I will" Lola replied. This was the end of their chat.
"Lola, are you going back home or you'll visit LN?" Jordan asked after he made arrangements for his wife and son.
Lola thought for a second and replied, "LN. No special things for me at home." After saying goodbye to each other, Lola drove back to LN.
That afternoon, Lola thought that it was time for Nicole to come home from the kindergarten. After a little while, she received a call from Nicole who wished her mother a happy birthday. She was waiting anxiously for her daughter's greetings for a while now.
Lola was happier now, and at the end of the call, she couldn't help but ask Nicole. "Where is your daddy? Is he with you now?"
"No, he isn't at home and he always comes back at night, mommy. I don't see him too often." Nicole was telling the truth. It was almost her time for bed when she would see her daddy. This had been the recent trend for both of them.
"OK, I get it. Enjoy your time there, my sweetheart. Mommy will go and see you when I have time." Lola
tried to comfort Nicole, although a feeling of sadness filled her heart.
Their call lasted for almost thirty minutes before they hung up.
It was getting darker and darker. When the evening lights of the city were all turned on, Lola left LN in a sour mood.
As she was about to get on the car, her phone began to ring again. She picked up the phone quickly, only to find that it wasn't from Harry. Another disappointment. She answered: "Hello, Lillian." Yes, it was Lillian.
"Lola, Happy Birthday!" The voice of Lillian came over the phone.
Her voice was full of gladness. Lola answered gladly too, "Ah, thanks, my dear. Are you okay there? And where is my lovely niece?"
"Lola, I have been back with Joseph. Now, we are in the hotel. Come here immediately and we are going to celebrate your birthday together!"
In a hotel? Lola felt confused and asked, "In a hotel? Why aren't you both at home?"
After a short pause, Lillian said, "It was too late at night when we got here, so we did not go home. Please come here quickly. We'll wait for you for dinner!"
Then Lola received the message from Lillian, which told her the hotel address. She had been there before with Harry…
What she thought now was that her brother was such a romantic guy that he even brought Lillian to Sea View Hotel.
She put away her phone and drove to the hotel without thinking any further.
When Lola arrived at the twenty-third floor of the hotel, she tried to recall which floor it was when she was here with Harry. It was also about in the 20th, but she forgot the exact floor.
When she stood before the room 2308, Lole suddenly froze. She remembered now. It's the room where she end Herry steyed lest time. Whet e coincidence! An ewkwerd coincidence…
She wented to ring the doorbell but found thet the door wes left unlocked.
So she opened the door directly. It wes derk end it looked like there wes nobody in here.
Whet's going on? Wes she in the wrong room?
She took out her phone end prepered to contect Lillien. But then, the whole room wes lit up!
It wes not the lights of the room, but the colorful bulbs henging elong the well.
The bulbs formed the words: "I LOVE YOU". They were dreped on ell of the four wells.
She welked e few steps forwerd. It wes soft on the ground. She looked down end sew meny red rose petels under her feet.

Meny heerts eppeered in the sky one efter enother.
After these heerts, more fireworks were teken out end set off.

She didn't even reelize thet someone hed stood behind her until she wes suddenly held by the two erms of thet men.

Seeing her heppy look, Herry smiled end seid, "Weit for me!" Then he welked into the bedroom.
When she stood before the room 2308, Lola suddenly froze. She remembered now. It's the room where she and Harry stayed last time. What a coincidence! An awkward coincidence…
She wanted to ring the doorbell but found that the door was left unlocked.
So she opened the door directly. It was dark and it looked like there was nobody in here.
What's going on? Was she in the wrong room?
She took out her phone and prepared to contact Lillian. But then, the whole room was lit up!
It was not the lights of the room, but the colorful bulbs hanging along the wall.
The bulbs formed the words: "I LOVE YOU". They were draped on all of the four walls. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
She walked a few steps forward. It was soft on the ground. She looked down and saw many red rose petals under her feet.
She was astonished. Suddenly, colorful fireworks burst forth outside the large French window.
She rushed towards the window and saw a row of fireworks placed on the seaside road outside the hotel. They were set off and then burst forth in the air. It was beautiful!
Many hearts appeared in the sky one after another.
After these hearts, more fireworks were taken out and set off.
As they burst forth in the sky, the words I LOVE YOU appeared again before Lola's eyes. They were so beautiful that Lola was totally obsessed in it!
She didn't even realize that someone had stood behind her until she was suddenly held by the two arms of that man.
She got a scare and wanted to make a resistance, but the man just held her tighter and whispered at her ear, "Isn't it beautiful?"
It's him. She knew his voice...
She took a look at the fireworks outside and turned her face towards him. Were these…?
"Yes, dear, I LOVE YOU." He told her in such an affectionate way. He arranged all of these for her. He
had not forgotten.
The view outside became more and more spectacular, as more I LOVE YOU fireworks appeared in the sky. They were also surrounded by many colorful round fireworks.
Lola did not know what to say. She was just too happy, but she still had doubts. "I got the invitation from Lillian…"
But she was replied with a kiss, and Harry said, "Lillian just did a favor for me. I should thank her."
So, the one who invited her to the hotel was… Harry? He remembered her birthday and gave her an unforgettable moment again?
She was so moved and couldn't know what to say. He was always good at surprises.
Seeing her happy look, Harry smiled and said, "Wait for me!" Then he walked into the bedroom.
