Cosset You Forever

Chapter 478 She Waited Quietly

Could there be gold too? Lola gaped at the vast wasteland before her.

Harry walked around the house with the metal detector, leaving Lola alone to think about the matter.

He could see a low hill behind the stone house.

He walked up to the hill. There was a small hole right in the front. Harry put the detector near the hole. The detector started beeping at once. Sure enough, the gold was here.

When he returned with the detector, he saw Lola was still pensively looking at the diamonds in the pit. She hadn't been able to reach a decision, yet.

When she saw Harry back, she tentatively asked him, "Is there any gold?" Would she become the richest woman in the world by accident?

Harry nodded an affirmative, "There is and quite a lot at that." Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

So, there really was gold to be mined! Lola looked at her elder brother and her husband again. She had made her decision.

"Mine it!" she happily said. After all, Jordan was right. Now that they had found the place, they could not conceal it for long.

Harry looked at the diamonds and thought for a while. "Mining for diamond is the most costly type of mining. If the deposits here are large, the investment required could run into hundreds of millions or even billions of..."

He cut off mid-sentence when he saw Lola's surprised expression. He then smiled and completed the sentence, "...dollars."

Lola was stunned. She innocently looked at Harry and asked, "Do I have that much money to invest?" Harry knew that the investment wouldn't lose money. So, there was no harm in investing.

Harry looked at his wife with disdain. It was the first time he had looked at her in that way. Lola was surprised. She glared at him at once.

Harry smiled and touched her head consolingly. "Hundreds of millions and billions of dollars is not a problem for you now." It was hard to evaluate the worth of the assets that he had given her.

Lola was still in a daze. She pinched her arm hard and immediately winced. Ouch! It hurt so much. So she was not dreaming!

Jordan saw what Lola had done and smiled. "Yes," he said. "You're not dreaming!" He knew what she was thinking. The Li ancestors had been really rich and had left a huge treasure behind.

She chuckled and looked at Harry, "Then just do it!"

Harry nodded. He walked up to the bodyguard and said something to him.

A few minutes later, he returned and said, "Let's go back." He walked Lola to the car with his arm around her shoulders.

Jordan followed them. Two of the bodyguards took out some of the material from their military vehicle and put it in the bed of the off-road SUV.

They then refueled the SUV with the oil they had carried in a big drum.

On the way back, there were only four of them and Thomas Herren's bodyguard, "Will all of them stay there?" Lola asked as she leaned on Harry's shoulder and yawned.

"They would have to protect the mine. Once the phone has a signal again, I'll send more people for backup," he said. He put her on his lap and adjusted her in a comfortable position so that she could rest.

It took them a few days to reach back Mando Bay.

Mando Bay had changed dramatically, with many places bombed and much fewer people.

Harry saw that Lola was shocked to see the change. He told her now what had happened the other day. "Lucien had hidden a lot of weapons in secret places here. When we took action, he set fire to all of them. A lot of people were killed and many were taken away by the Interpol," he explained as casually as he could so as to not scare Lola. But, the scene that day had been terrible. He was even hurt during the action.

They first went to the Soul Killer's headquarters. Very few people could be seen there. They were probably taken away by the Interpol.

Harry went to talk to Joey about the situation. Lola took advantage of the lull in activity and slept in a room. She hadn't slept well in the past days and was really tired.

Early the following morning, all three - Harry, Lola and Jordan, were ready to leave Mando Bay.

Joey accompanied them to the entrance to the Bay, but then turned back. Lola noticed that the red spider lilies were not there any longer.

On the private plane, Lola watched the town get smaller and smaller as they rose in the air and headed home. She felt a little sad. "Why isn't Joey coming with us?" she asked Harry.

He explained that Joey had offered to go back to Mando Bay. Now that he was back, he could not leave.

"Besides, the bay is different now and his parents are old. They need someone to take good care of them."

Lola nodded and looked out of the window at the clouds. She was happy that she could finally see her children after so long.

"Will I become the richest woman in the world soon?" Lola innocently asked Harry. Jordan, sitting in the back, laughed out loud and shook his head at his sister's question.

"So you have finally realized. I need to pay attention to you now," Harry dotingly looked at his wife and tenderly pinched her little nose.

Lola also laughed in an exaggerated manner, leaving the other two speechless.

It was late by the time the trio arrived at C Country.

Lola ignored the two men behind her and ran into the manor. She wanted to hold her babies in her arms as soon as she could.

However, there was no one in either the nursery or Nicole's room.

Jordan and Harry followed her. Harry was on the phone. He hung up the phone when he saw her looking for the babies all around.

"Dad didn't know that we were coming back today. He took the kids to the old house yesterday and will be back tomorrow," he said, taking her in his arms. He knew that Lola had missed the kids a lot.

When they were in the tent, it was not uncommon to hear her talk about them.

Well! Lola was a little disappointed. Harry opened the door to an adjoining room. "Jordan, please stay in this room tonight and I'll send you back tomorrow," he said allowing Jordan to enter the room.

Jordan nodded. He said good night to Lola and retired to the room.

When Lola returned to her bedroom, she saw her big bed. She immediately got excited again. She happily threw herself in the bed. "Finally, I can sleep in my bed!" she purred stroking her bed.

After having slept on the carpet for so many days, she had started missing her big bed also.

Harry took off his coat and adoringly looked at the woman rolling in the bed. He copied her tone, smirked and said, "Finally, I can sleep with my wife!"

Lola glared at the handsome man. She lay in the bed, with one arm supporting her head, and squinted at him unbuttoning his shirt.

She bashed her eyelids and softly called her husband, "Mr. Si!"

Harry's breath caught at the sound of her seductive voice. He stopped unbuttoning his shirt. His deep eyes looked at the beautiful woman in the bed.

Could he understand that she was seducing him?

She waited quietly.

He didn't respond. Wasn't she attractive? Lola got out of bed and began to slowly take off her coat.

Then she unzipped her skirt which fell to the carpet without a sound.

The man came closer to her and she could feel his hot breath. Lola ignored him and quickly ran to the bathroom.

He didn't say anything.

She smiled as she turned on the hot water. She wanted to take a long, soothing bath.

But she could not escape from the man. The bathroom door opened three minutes later.

He had stayed away from her for several days. How could he let her go so easily?

…

Early the following morning, Lola was still asleep in her big bed, when she felt a big hand moving up her body.

"Go away, I'm sleepy." She pushed the hand away. He had tortured her the whole night and she had just fallen asleep. She shyly smiled remembering the sweet torture.

Harry looked at his wife and smiled, "Dad has come back with the kids," he said.
