Cosset You Forever

Chapter 273 One of My Betrothal Gifts for Lola

Lola went to sleep after hanging the phone up.

In SL Group next day.

When Lola, the acting CEO and the fiancee of Harry Si, appeared in the company, the employees appeared busy.

Lola entered the CEO office with a smile. She felt confident about the meeting scheduled for later.

First though she checked Weibo for any new hot searches via the cell phone.

What a surprising news! The most hottest news listed read: "Joseph Li and Lillian Ye get their marriage certificate!"

Lola hurriedly clicked the screen to read the news and saw that Joseph had posted a picture of the marriage certificate on his Weibo account...... Joseph...... and Lillian!

Marriage is such a big thing. It surprised her that Joseph had decided to take this step without telling anyone.

Lola was excited and immediately dialed Joseph's number.

It had been just over an hour since Joseph posted his marriage certificate, and both the company phone and his cell had not stopped ringing.

He heard the phone ringing, and did not want to look at it, let alone answer it.

Obviously whoever was calling had already read his Weibo post. Why did they bother to call him?

He looked at the caller ID, and answered as soon as he saw it was Lola.

"So, what's new?'' Lola asked innocently. Of course she knew, but could not help herself.

"I am sure you saw already?" he said calmly. Thinking of Lillian, Joseph smiled happily.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Lola was thrilled for her brother. Marriage! A serious matter indeed. Their parents had not yet got the news.

Joseph thought for a moment. "I'm an adult and I have the right to make my own choices. Besides, we will be home in two days, see you soon."

……

Make his own choices? Lola was going to phone her parents and tell them! "You hang up and I will call home and tell father what you have done!" she smirked into the phone, "I think he will use a whip to teach you a lesson!" She felt so devious.

"Sister, you need to pay attention to your actions, keep in mind you are to marry soon, ok?" Joseph did not need to see Lola to know that she was growing red in the face. As sure as he knew she would threaten him.

Lola was left speechless. Sitting in her office, she responded quietly into the phone, "Fine, I leave you alone, it is on you to tell our parents! It won't go unnoticed though that you have told everyone except you parents, and people will assume you do not recognize her as your wife!"

"Is that so?" Joseph was suspicious about what she had said and right after hanging up on Lola, called his grandfather's cell number to tell him his news.

He then called his parents, followed by each family member, one by one.

After he told his family, he felt sure what he would find when he got home were more whips! His father had warned him...

On Tuesday.

According to Harry, Lola waited for him at home.

When Harry's grandfather, Kevin, Harry and Nicole arrived at the Li Manor, they were greeted by the entire family.

Angie knew Rose didn't approve of the impending marriage by her absence.

Nicole was thrilled to see her extended family and fluttered about happily hugging everyone.

After the greetings subsided, Harry and Lola sat together. Harry glanced over at Lola, sitting beside him and pulled something out of his pocket.

He set it down in front of Harold and Angie, "Uncle and aunt, this is one of my betrothal gifts for Lola, a cheque for 666.6 million." He said.

……

Everyone, even Joseph, who was not usually surprised, sat in shock at the gift.

Lola pinched Harry and whispered, "You are crazy?" 6.6666 million! My God! Lola could not think, she was as shocked as the rest of the room.

Harry patted her hands and took out a portfolio.

Inside were many papers, each printed with the Share Transfer Agreement of SL Group.

Harry held 60% of the company shares. He presented percentages in Lola and Nicole's names for 20% of the stock each.

……

20%! This was just like the 6.6666 million. Lola was once more too stunned to respond.

Harry indeed offered a great deal to marry her.

Although, his grandfather and father did not agree, they did not express opinions. This was Harry's life, so he needed to make his own choices.

Harry smiled again. "Grandpa, uncle and aunt, I plan to take Lola and Nicole and settle in Country C."

They would be a family of three living happily.

Harry's announcement silenced the family. They could not bear to think of Lola and Nicole living so far from them.

However much they would miss her, they knew this day would come.

"I am going to apply for the certificate today, and we will hold the wedding in C Country, once the preparations are completed." A large wedding needed to be arranged with care and would take time. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Angie considered Harry's arrangement to be appropriate and she nodded. "What about your mom...?" Angie interjected.

At the thought of bossy Rose, Angie was worried for her daughter in Harry's home.

Harry thought about his mother. "Lola and I will live in the manor. There will not be much contact between them." He would protect his beloved so she will not suffer any further harm.

Kevin added. "In fact, Rose is very kind, she is just soured to me. I will pay closer attention." Kevin thought to himself, his wife is not bad, but she may have misjudged Lola.

Later, the family discussed matters in depth and then Lola took Harry to her room on the second floor to spend time alone before dinner.

The matter that Harry paid an unbelievable price for the betrothal gifts quickly spread across A Country, followed by C Country, and then the world...

Women were envious of Lola.

Lola seized Harry to her room and as the door opened, a tastefully decorated sky-blue room was revealed.

The room was accented by various shades of blue and white and a warm, sweet scent filled the air.

He noted that Lola had a preference for a neat and tidied space like himself.

Her room was uncluttered and clean.

He sat on a white armchair and Lola sat on his lap.

Her arms around his neck, "Actually, you realize... There was no need for such a huge gesture." She would have been satisfied to just have his love.

He placed an index finger on her lips before boldly stating, "I want to do it though." He would always want to give the best to his wife and daughter.

Lola looked at the man silently and said wittily. "Aren't you worried I will take the shares and betrothal gifts and run off?"

He smiled and declared arrogantly, "You can't escape my reach in this life!"'

Well! She rolled her eyes, at his boast, but in truth, she did not want to run.
