Chapter 37 It's Time To Prepare For The Wedding
Soon, she came to her senses, grabbed the phone and answered it.
"What do you want from me?"
Hearing her strange tone, Jacob held his breath and listened silently.
"This is my private affair. I can handle it by myself. Flora have told you. I know that."
"I'll handle it myself. I don't need you to worry about me. You'd better solve your own problem. "
"It has nothing to do with me. Have you forgotten your relationship with me?"
Jacob's eyebrows twitched. Her tone was really suspicious. Who was she talking to on the phone?
"Don't contact me if there is nothing important. Otherwise, all will be blamed on me. Well, it's too late. I'm going to bed. "
After hanging up the phone, Lola threw the phone on the bed, resentful and anxious.
Jacob narrowed his eyes and glanced at her phone, only to see the name "Mr. D"
Who was he?
An intimate man?
It was not Ryan, nor Ivan, nor was it Barry, nor was it any man he knew before, but a person he had no idea at all.
Feeling the air a little stuffy, Jacob strode out of bed and slammed the bathroom door, followed by a clang.
It seemed that Lola didn't notice what Jacob was doing. She turned off the phone and fell on the bed irritably. Thinking of that man, she became more entangled. Then the two of them seemed to be in a subtle environment. They didn't quarrel about who slept on the sofa, but slept on the same bed.
There was a slender doll in the middle.
With their backs to each other and their own thoughts in their minds, they felt that the night was very long.
Jacob thought she must be thinking about the phone call just now.
However, when she slept on this bed with him, she felt that the past two years were like a cycle of reincarnation, and she was forced to come back.
But this time, instead of being forced, he went to the bed himself.
She was getting more and more confused about him.
The sky was clear and bright. Lola stretched herself and looked at the time.
She had asked Flora to arrange work for her in accordance with the normal procedures, but as Grandmother came back, she had to cancel some unimportant work instead had a good rest.
Grandma arrived by plane in the afternoon. There was still half a day left. She also asked Lily and Flora to have a break by the way.
Lily also sent her a message this morning. It was a screenshot. It was said on the Internet that there was someone backed up Lola in her yesterday's press conference. Otherwise, Fiona wouldn't have been forced to explain for her
They all wondered who was behind her.
At this time, Jacob put on his clothes and came out. She smiled and saw her "backer" coming.
"Let's go home directly..."
"Aren't we going to the airport?" Lola asked in confusion.
"Grandma has come back ahead of time. Let's get in the car first."
The two of them quickly got into the car. During this period, Lola was still very hesitant and uneasy. Soon, they arrived at the Gu Family's house. She was still standing at the door, as if her feet were filled with lead, unable to move.
"Why are you standing there?" Jacob looked at her up and down and asked, "Are you afraid that you can't face Grandma when you see her?"
"No..." She hadn't seen her grandma for two years. She was excited to see the person she missed most but still having feeling of nervous, uneasy, and even a little scared.
Squinting his eyes, Jacob walked to her side and gently held her hand. It was cold. "Let's go, my wife."
For a moment, except for her heartbeat, Lola seemed to have no other emotions.
In the living room of the Gu family, there was a lively conversation.
"Grandma, Jacob is too overbearing. He insisted that I go abroad. I don't want to leave."
"Your brother is right. I asked him to make the decision. You can go with me and be my companion. "
"What? Grandma, but my work here..."
"Just take it as a filial duty for your parents in front of me. Grandma has been missing you for a long time. We will leave in a few days. You prepare first..."
"I think it's good to let Fiona study abroad. I agree with you on this matter. Mom, you can rest assured to stay a few more days." The one who spoke was William, the second son of the Gu Family, and the father of Fiona.
Catherine rolled her eyes. Although she didn't want her daughter to leave, she couldn't say anything.
When Jacob took Lola's hand and entered the living room, all the sounds disappeared and fell into an instant silence.
Mrs. Gu raised her head and looked at Lola. Tears welled up in her eyes. She reached out her hand and said in a trembling voice, "Louisa, come here..."
Lola's vision became blurred in an instant filled with tears. The hand that stretched out had a sense of vicissitudes, which made her feel sad.
"Grandma, Louisa is back"
Mrs. Gu pulled Lola to her side, fumbled Lola's head, hair, cheeks, and finally got her hand. With a doting look, she said, "Let me have a good look at you. You haven't contacted me for two years..."
At that time, Mrs. Gu was in danger. She hadn't seen her since she was rescued from the jaws of death, and she was even more unable to contact her after Lola went abroad
Mrs. Gu went abroad to have a good rest. She didn't come back to see Louisa until she recovered as usual. Therefore, the task assigned to Jacob was to take Lola to see her.
"I have been studying abroad and just came back recently. Grandma, I miss you too. I don't do anything these days. I'll be with you, okay?"
Mrs. Gu smiled with relief, "Okay, I won't let you go. You just take a few days off and stay with me."
Looking at their conversation, Fiona was very jealous. She pursed her lips with dissatisfaction and sat back beside Catherine, who comforted her with eyes contact.
"Louisa, we haven't seen each other for two years. You've changed a lot..." Catherine held Fiona's hand and said deliberately, "In the past, you were so honest and sensible. But now, you are wearing such heavy makeup! I don't know what you have learned abroad. "
Fiona raised her eyebrows at Lola complacently. Seeing the expression in Jacob's eyes, she lowered her head again.
"Thank you for your praise," said Lola with a smile
"When did I praise you?"
"You praised me for being honest and sensible..." She raised her eyebrows and looked at the man who was watching the fun. "It's not like putting on makeup and clothes can change my honesty and sensibility."
Of course, Mrs. Gu also realized the change of Lola. She held her hand happily and said, "it's more beautiful now. My little Louisa now has grown up."
Fiona sneered, "No matter how beautiful she is, she is not as good-looking as me."
"In Grandma's eyes, you are both beautiful..." Mrs. Gu smiled and then reached out her hand to beckon Jacob, who took it and sat on the other side. "Grandma, you finally see me..."
"Don't tease me. I have something important to talk to you..."
Lola's heart skipped a beat. She frowned and winked at Jacob, who seemed to be confused as well.
"You have been married for such a long time. It is time for you to prepare for the wedding." Mrs. Gu smiled with love and expectation. 00000000
