Chapter 245 Harry''s Attitude


    Joseph had a gut feeling that he should say something nice for Harry because he had given him a lot of


    favors before. He thought that Harry wanted something in return.


    However, he swallowed down whatever he was about to say. He just couldn''t be untrue to himself.


    Instead, he simply said, "It''s L''s own business. Why don''t you ask her yourself? I don''t know much


    about it either!"


    Jordan cast a cold nce at his restless brother and replied, "What''s the use of you then? Don''t you


    know how to protect L? She''s our sister, for God''s sake!"


    Joseph felt offended by his remarks. The truth was, he was not always in A Country. His sister had


    always had a wrong temper. She had always been a brave girl. The only person that could actually hurt


    her was Harry Si.


    The question was, what could he possibly do to confront Harry about this? He owed that guy a lot of


    favors! He just couldn''t ditch him like that. He had already given him a car and a t. He sometimes felt


    as if he was Harry''s mistress because of how he spoiled him. Even thepany he worked for now


    belonged to Harry.


    On second thought, he did feel like something was really wrong here. He realized that he could be just


    a puppet for Harry.


    One thing he was sure about was that Harry definitely loved his sister. There was no denying that. But


    as it was their own private matter, he and his brother should just stay out of it. Harry and L were


    already old enough to take care of their problems.


    Joseph''s mind had just turned to a clutter. He had not solved his own issue and yet here came his


    sister''s problem. He desperately needed some peace and sce!


    Ignoring his elder brother''s furious gazing, he stumbled out of the study and returned to his bedroom.


    L tossed her wet clothes aside and stepped into the bathroom. She felt much better after a hot


    shower but emotionally, she couldn''t stop hurting just yet.


    Thomas''s expensive coat looked all ruined. She felt sorry for him and nned to buy a new one


    tomorrow.


    Wendy sat on the bedside with a hair dryer in her hand. Upon seeing L so lost in her thoughts, she


    smiled and asked L toe closer so that she could dry her hair for her.


    She was L''s sister-inw but she has always acted just like L''s mother. Deep down, she felt


    grateful for her family as both L and her mother-inw treated her nicely. Wendy felt obliged to


    return their kindness every now and then.


    The room was quiet, and only the sound of the hair dryer could be heard. L didn''t feel like talking at


    all. Wendy respected that and didn''t ask her questions either.


    She knew that if L wanted to talk, she would have spit out everything a long time ago. It was


    pointless for her to bother L with loads of questions if she was not in the mood of talking.


    But tonight, Wendy will apany her to sleep. She does not want L to be alone in her thoughts


    right now. She looked at her healthy, wless skin and smiled. "Sister-inw, aren''t you super happy


    with my brother?" She could tell from her radiant aura that she was in a very happy marriage.


    Wendy felt a bit shy and whispered, "Stop it. I would always feel happy once you and mother are


    home!" As for her quiet and emotionless husband, she was not that into him!


    Wendy blushed as a big smile uncontrobly spread over her face. L looked at Wendy and felt truly


    happy for her. She has made the right decision back then! How lucky of her...


    "Wendy, he won''t give Nicole back to me. I miss my daughter so much." L finally opened up her


    heart and shared her worries with Wendy.


    On hearing her words, Wendy frowned and immediately felt sadder. It was really tough to deal with.


    Harry Si was a man of power and limitless capabilities. They had no chance of winning in getting Nicole


    back by force. It would be so pointless.


    "Why don''t you marry each other again?" It would be nice for both of them. Nicole would get to see


    both her mother and father more often. More importantly, she would see them together.


    L thought about marrying him again. However, his attitude was so nasty that it literally drove her


    crazy! Besides, he had a new girl now. "I don''t know why he was so into Lillian now. I don''t know if he


    really loves her, or he''s just making a point." She murmured to herself.


    As far as she knew, Lillian used to be in D City all the time. She couldn''t understand why she would be


    here. L was very confused.


    "Lillian? Is this true?" Wendy remembered thatdy. Long time ago, both Lillian and L were


    recognized by the upper ss of D City as the most beautiful women in the city.


    Then Lillian faded from the stage. It was not until now that she showed up again. But it was just so


    strange that she showed up as Harry''s lover.


    "You have no idea how much I hate him now. Ynda was history but Lillian has taken over her role!"


    She knew Harry was ying in the field all this time. She couldn''t care less. However, both Ynda


    and Lillian were obviously serious in having a rtionship with him.


    Wendy tried tofort her. "It is normal. Harry Si is a well-established man that there ought to be some


    women around him trying to win his heart. It''s something that you should learn to live with, L."


    Ynda Mo and Lillian Ye were two well-known names. She bet there were other women that L was


    not even aware.


    The most important thing here was Harry''s attitude.


    "I feel so bad now. He really drives me crazy with his attitude. When he showed his love and care to


    me, I feel like standing on top of the world. I know he was not pretending it.


    But when he was ruthless to me, his coldness could actually kill me. I know he was not pretending it


    either! What was he thinking? How could he do that to someone he loves?" It was said that women''s


    hearts were impossible to guess. Harry''s mind was even more difficult to read!


    Lying on her side, Wendy gazed at L attentively and said, "Don''t you think he acts like that because


    he is mad at you for keeping Nicole away from him? The more he loved you, the more he felt wronged


    by you. The feeling was so strong that eventually he lost control of his heart and all his emotions turned


    into hatred! L, Nicole is his daughter." That would exin his indifferent attitude towards her.


    L shook her head in confusion. It never urred to her that Harry would be this mad. "He is just


    overreacting! I did tell him the truth! I thought that he will be happy..." She frowned in distress.


    The two women chatted untilte that night but L was still depressed.


    One of Wendy''s ideas actually made sense that L should pretend dating another man. If Harry still


    loved her, he would definitely act on it and prevent it from happening.


    After all, Harry was known to be a dominating and selfish man. He wouldn''t tolerate her being with


    another man.


    L decided to carry out this n to see if Harry cared or not. If he turned her down again, she would


    really give up forever.


    By then, it was no longer his problem if she married another man or not. She deserved to be happy,


    too.


    Fair enough. It was now battle time for both of them!


    The rain stopped the next morning. The weather was brilliant.


    L went to thepany in her brother''s car.


    To avoid remembering how hurt she was, she devoted herself into the tedious work. By lunch break,


    she had some time to call Mrs. Du and sessfully got the answers she needed.


    In the beginning though, Mrs. Du was not willing to talk about Nicole. But as Harry did not specifically


    forbid her from telling the truth, she gave out the address of Nicole''s kindergarten school to L.


    Two dayster, L flew to C Country.


    She didn''t contact Harry for days. She missed her daughter to bits as she had not talked to her for


    days. Those days were a torture for her.


    But thanks to the address given by Mrs. Du, L finally saw her daughter in the kindergarten. She


    became so excited that she burst into tears.


    Her Nicole, her sweet baby!


    Since she was a new face in the school, L had to exin to the teacher that she was Nicole''s


    mother. Nicole''s tight embrace and happy smile eventually convinced the teacher.


    She took her daughter by the hand and they left the kindergarten in a hurry. As soon as they left, the


    teacher called Harry and exined what had happened.


    Harry paused on hearing the news. Then he simply said, "All right."


    He didn''t need to know more. He has expected that this would happen. He ended the call.


    He knew for sure that L would not be able to take Nicole with her. He didn''t mind that they are


    having a mother-and-daughter moment right now.


    L did n to sneak Nicole out of the country. She had a scheme that after lunch, she would take


    Nicole straight to the airport.


    However, her n failed. Half way to the airport, her taxi was stopped by Harry''s car. He came out of


    nowhere!


    The cold, murderous look in his eyes scared her!


    ... She and Nicole were immediately brought back to the mansion.


    Inside the mansion.


    The gate of the mansion were changed into two ebony nks. They looked taller and bigger. It seemed


    like Harry had already learned his lesson.


    Harry made it clear to the security team that not a single person should be given permission to leave.


    With these words, he returned to thepany to finish his work.


    L wouldn''t let the chance of taking her daughter home just slip away. However, as soon as she


    approached the gate, the security team showed up and stopped her in time.


    She had to return to the mansion with her daughter. There, they yed some toys together. L even


    took a bath with Nicole before putting her to sleep.


    She fondly gazed at her sleeping face. L cherished every moment she had with Nicole. There were


    so precious to her. Soon, they would be worlds apart again.


    Just as L was about to doze off by the bed side, she was woken up by a gush of cool breeze. It was


    already eleven in the evening.


    She immediately opened her eyes only to find Harry standing next to her, gazing at her with no


    emotions on his face.


    Her vision was still blurred but she came to her senses within seconds.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    She was now in Harry''s room. He took her here by force.


    She cast a look at her sleeping daughter and screwed up her courage to face Harry. L touched the


    thing in her pocket as she bravely held up Harry''s hand. Together, they walked out of the bedroom.


    On the balcony.


    The stars were shining in the dark sky like millions of diamonds. The cold sea breeze made L shiver.


    Thinking about her next move, L felt cold sweat forming up on her forehead.


    Harry was in a gray shirt. He looked rxed as he leaned against the chair on the balcony.


    L clenched her fist. She had to do this for the sake of her daughter! Without warning, she knelt on


    one knee and said, "Harry, I am going to propose to you! I need you to marry me!"


    ... Harry was utterly speechless by L''s move. He felt greatly offended by her proposal. This was the


    least of his expectations.


    He had no idea that he, as a man, would be proposed to by a woman like this!


    L panicked and immediately became helpless. Judging from Harry''s gloomy face, she had screwed


    things up!


    Before she realized anything, Harry grabbed her by the arm and lifted her up. He forced her against the


    wall and snapped with a deep voice, "L, are you out of your mind?"


    L dodged his angry gaze, pulled over his hand and forcefully put a stic ring on his little finger. It


    was a ring that she had brought from the children''s toy store.


    The ring was way too small for his finger. It stuck on the first knuckle.


    Harry unbelievably looked at the stic ring. He honestly could not feel more upset.


    He took off the ring without saying anything. The next second, he tossed the ring into the deep ocean


    with all his strength!


    L looked at him with great disappointment. Her n went through as she had expected.


    She was not confident at all that her proposal would work. She had expected this, anyway. In order not


    to waste money on the diamond ring if her proposal failed, she bought a stic one just in case.


    If Harry did agree to marry her, she wouldn''t mind buying him a ten-carat diamond ringter on!


    Staring at the endless ocean, L tossed her long hair back. Never mind, it still was worth trying!


    She had iting. Since it was a matter between she and Harry, she didn''t feel ashamed at all!


    Nobody would know.


    The thought relieved her. L slowly walked back towards the bedroom. However, she was violently


    stopped by Harry. He looked so dangerous as he forced her against the wall and snapped, "You! How


    dare you insult me and just walk away? No way!"


    ... L was surprised by his usation. She definitely didn''t mean to insult him. Fine. Maybe her ring


    was cheap. But she only bought it in case he turned down her proposal. A real diamond ring would be


    a waste of money, wouldn''t it? She was just being practical.


    She shook her head and said with a depressed voice, "Mr. Si, please don''t get me wrong. But I only did


    that for the sake of Nicole. I just want her to be with her true parents."


    What did she imply? That she only proposed to marry him for the sake of their daughter?


    Harry grew angrier by her words. He leaned over, pressed his lips against hers and kissed her


    ferociously as a punishment.


    L pushed him away and ran out of the balcony.


    He had just refused her proposal. So why did he kiss her then? What an idiot!


    With a grin, Harry secretly put the thing he was supposed to throw into his pocket.


    He paced up behind her and pulled her back once again. This time, he forced her to lie back in the


    balcony chair.


    "Douchebag! Douchebag! Let me go! Hey.... Oh."


    Her screams eventually came to a halt as he had sealed her lips with his mouth. In the bedroom, Nicole


    has turned around in her sleep. She had a sweet smile on her face.


    She was dreaming about her parents. They were kissing. How sweetly embarrassing...


    ...


    The night was long. No more talking was heard apart from muffled, gentle and sweet moans.


    When dawn arrived, Harry carried the sleeping L into the bathroom. He also ordered his private jet


    to wait in the mansion.


    One hourter, L was carried to the bed on the ne while she was still sleeping.


    She finally woke up from her sleep. Realizing that she was actually in the ne, L sat up


    immediately. She ran to the ne window.


    What the hell! That idiot had sent her back to A Country. The ne had justnded on thend of the Li


    vi. Wow, he had done it again.


    She saw her grandfather with crutches walking towards the ne.


    Despite feeling weak in her leg muscles, L ran out of the ne to greet her grandfather. On her way


    out, she grabbed her bag back from the female bodyguard.


    "Grandfather!" L greeted him with a big smile as she helped him with the crutches. The two walked


    back to the vi together.


    Landon curiously looked at the ne as it took off and asked with squinting eyes, "L, whose ne


    was that and where were youst night? You should always take a rest from time to time. Don''t get too


    caught up with work."


    L was embarrassed by the questions. She thought about her excuses and exined, "I was on a


    business trip to C Country. I was needed at the headquarters there. As the returning fight was sold out,


    the CEO sent me back through his private jet."


    Landon nodded as if he was fully convinced. As they were walking towards the vi, he suddenly said


    with a smile on his face, "Isn''t the CEO Harry Si?"


    ... Her grandpa had such a sarcastic smile that L knew that he was ying tricks on her.


    "Grandfather, I only went to check on Nicole." She said as she lowered her face in embarrassment.


    On hearing Nicole''s name, Landon paused. "Is Nicoleing back?" The real question was at the tip


    of his tongue. He wanted to ask her when they would tie the knot again.


    He heard rumors that C Country would soon witness some good news. Harry Si was about to get


    engaged with the eldest daughter of the Ye family from Z Country. If that was the case, he would never


    ever forgive Harry, even on his death bed!


    L blinked her eyes. She hid her true feelings as she tried tofort Landon. "Don''t worry. We will


    sort it out pretty soon. Harry still loves me. I can feel it." But she knew it was just her good wishes. The


    truth was her proposal went through and he kissed her by force as a punishment. The thought made


    L sad.


    Landon was old enough to see through her lies. However, he didn''t expose her as he simply said,


    "You''d better be! No point in dragging the issue. You are an adult now, and I trust that you could make


    the right decisions."


    "Of course, grandfather." L sighed deeply to herself.


    Time went by so fast. After some time, it was already a weekter.


    L suddenly realized that she still owed Thomas his suit and a dinner.


    She took out her phone and dialed his number. He answered her call right away. It seemed like he was


    waiting for her call all day. "Finally you called me! Hope you have not forgotten about the..."


    On hearing his voice, L giggled. "I am sorry. I have been busy. How about a dinner with me tonight?"


    "No problem!" He had been waiting for her invitation for days already. Thomas felt so


    excited.
