Lola couldn't believe the power of money. If things were different between her and Max, then forever would have been the deal. But she has to keep in mind that she did this because of her dire need of his money to save her brother.
She was happy to see that her brother was receiving special treatment and was deposited to a VIP ward and the best surgeon was taking care of him. James threw a lot of questions about the things he found confusing to him, especially her sudden marriage with Max, but she couldn't explain everything to him yet. He made her promise to do that when he's fit and discharged from the hospital.
When Ralph pulled up in the carport, she stepped down with her handbag hanging over her shoulder. She deliberately touched the flowers that lined up the pathway, then admired the beautiful structure that was Max's home. Now her home as well.
