Tina’s eyes flickered for a moment before she smiled and said, “Of course not!”
Chapter 138
“I just saw you didn’t want to answer that question earlier, so I took the chance to come in.
“Let me tell you, I can actually see it. When you and Mr. Jensen are together, you guys don’t seem like a couple with an engagement. You two are too polite, or rather, you’re way too polite to him”
Lola was slightly taken aback. Tia’s words were blunt, but they accurately described what was going on between them. “Go on Tell me more”
Lola was struggling to understand her own feelings and wanted to hear Tina’s perspective.
“Well, when I see the two of you together, I don’t feel you two are close. Like you’re business partners or something, not a couple.”
Tina reminisced while analyzing. “And Ms. Lewis, be honest, when you see Mr. Jensen, do you feel even a little spark?”
“A spark” Lola looked puzzled. “What’s a spark supposed to feel like?”
Tina touched her lower lip, thinking. “It’s like…when you see someone and your heart kind of flutters? Your pulse races, your mind goes haywire, or at the very least, you feel something.
“When I see you with Mr. Jensen, you’re too calm. There’s less emotion than when we watch horror movies together.
“So, I’m thinking, maybe you don’t have feelings for Mr. Jensen at all.”
Lola lowered her eyes. She had never really thought about this question before.
Deep down, she wasn’t sure what she should feel about Scott.
Tina was right. There was no spark between them like in the movies.
“Tina, what do I do? We’re engaged. I’m supposed to like him, right?”
Tina shook her head. “Absolutely not!
“It’s a business marriage. You’re the princess of the Lewis family. You don’t need to marry for business.
“If you don’t like him, just say so. There’s no need to get married. You can be with someone you actually love. It’s your choice.
Lola thought about it. Tina had a point, but she and Scott had been growing up together,
“Yeah, I guess. I’ll think about it some more.”
Tina looked worried. “Ms. Lewis, don’t overthink it. You can’t force love. What matters is how you feel.
“If you marry Mr. Jensen without loving him, you’ll be miserable. He will be, too. Neither of you will be happy.
“Maybe it’s for the be
if you move on and find people you are really meant to be with.”
Lola understood this, but she had her own thoughts,
“I know, Lola sighed, “but it’s not that simple. We’ve known each other our whole lives. I heard we were even engaged as kids. It would seem so cold if I broke it off now.
“It doesn’t feel right, so I need to think it through.”
Tina gently shook her head. “No, that’s not right.
Mt Lewis, you’ve lost your memory for so long, and you don’t have any memories or feelings for Mr. Jensen. It’s perfectly
normal not to be into him
“If you suddenly fell for him, that would make you seem heartless”
Tina’s persuasive words seemed to calm Lola down a bit.

‘Oh shoot, I gotta run!“
Lola glanced at the time. Only twenty minutes left. She had to hurry.)
The address Dominick sent wasn’t for his office.
When Lola arrived, she realized it was a cultivated garden. The fragrance hit her as soon as she stepped out of the car.
It was a familiar smell. Lola followed the stone path, the floral perfume growing stronger with each step
Two minutes late. What’s my punishment gonna be?”
Dominick’s voice came from somewhere among the blooms. Lola wasn’t in the mood to admire them and looked around for
Dominick
“Gardenias, all of them. You like them, right?”
Dominick emerged from behind the flower beds. “I imported them from Talondria. Do you like them?
Lola frowned slightly. She did like gardenias, but now she could only feel scared.
“How do you know I like gardenias? Don’t tell me it’s just some coincidence.
“You’d better give me a straight answer. What’s going on here?”
Dominick chuckled, his eyes twinkling with affection, “Ah… Look how fierce you are. No wonder you’re the woman I fell for Lola scowled, her disdain evident. “Just answer the question!”

Dominick’s smirk deepened. “I’ve known you loved gardenias since our past life.”
His gaze was deep and serious, not joking at all, and even his eyes were full of tenderness. Lola was startled by the intensity in Dominick’s eyes. She avoided his gaze and spoke coldly. “Enough! Don’t give me that past life nonsense. Just tell me why you called me here today
Leaning back on the bench, Dominick smirked casually. To smell the gardenias.
Lola’s expression froze, and she couldn’t hold back her anger anymore. “Dominick! Why are you doing this to me? I didn’t do anything to you, so what is all this about?
“I thought you called me for something urgent, but it’s just to smell the flowers?
“I’ve got things to do. Why did you drag me out here?”
Lola’s cheeks flushed with anger, which made her look oddly cute.
“Who were you with? Scott?*
“Why do you care?” Lola snapped, thinking he was overstepping.
“We’re just business partners, Dominick. You shouldn’t meddle so much
Dominick narrowed his eyes with a flicker of jealousy in them.
“I don’t care what you do as long as it doesn’t affect me.”
Lola clenched her teeth, about to retort, but Dominick closed his eyes and lay down on the bench.
“Alrigh, let’s just enjoy the flowers.”
Lola opened her mouth but said nothing. Enjoy the flowers?
Loda looked around. An entire sea of gardenias stretched out before her
They were stunning, with butterflies fitting among the blooms, but she was in no mood to appreciate the scenery

Chapter 1381
Dominick seemed to be asleep, his usually cold and indifferent face now relaxed.
Lola’s gaze followed the butterflies and eventually landed on Dominick.
He was strikingly handsome, like a character straight out of a graphic novel.
The man himself exuded an air of mystery from head to toe.
