The Runaway Groom
Zachary did not follow them since he had his pride.
If he still tagged along after everything Lulu said, he would cheapen himself!
So what was he still obsessing about?
Lulu had already started over!
As he stared at Lulu and Martin holding hands, he suddenly hung his head and chuckled self-
deprecatingly.
Maybe he had just made himself a joke for them, showing up here?
He strode out of the hotel and drove away.
Since she was happy now, he should not bother her.
He could make amends by offering her his blessing anyway.
…
Irene was meeting Lulu at home.
Mrs. Watson brewed a pot of tea for them, while the rest of the hilltop mansion was quiet—Tommy was
still obsessively playing with his Bumblebee walker outside, while Irene’s second child was asleep.
“So? How is the case going?” Lulu asked directly.
Irene had yet to ask Isaac for an update, but since he had returned home very late last night, it was
probably resolved.
“I think it’ll be resolved soon,” Irene said, looking at Lulu just then. “Are you in a hurry to get home?”
“No,” Lulu replied. “I’d rather wait until your case is resolved, or I’d be worried.”
Sheryl Harris then arrived with a plate of sliced fruits, placing it in front of Lulu. “You should eat more
fruits while you’re pregnant—for your baby’s skin.”
Lulu looked up at her and smiled. “Okay.”
Sheryl then gave her hand a squeeze. “This is good… Getting married, and now having a child.”
As Lulu smiled, Sheryl turned to Martin. “Lulu is a good kid, so you have to be good to her. I’ll be the
first to come after you if you ever bully her—even if she’s lost her mother and her father neglected her
as a child, she still has us. Irene and I are her family now.”
Martin understood right then why Lulu was willing to return and help Irene despite her pregnancy.
They were more than just friends, and Martin was glad that Lulu had someone like Irene in her life.
“Don’t worry, ma’am,” he said with a grin. “Though you can come knocking on my door and beat me up
if I ever hurt her. I won’t hit back.”
“I’ll remember that,” Sheryl said.
Lulu felt her nose turn runny just then, and she felt tearful although this was something one could be
happy about.
Still, she did her best to hold back her tears and pursed her lips into a smile.
Sheryl patted her head. “Alright, I’ll leave you be now. Chat as much as you want.”
She headed to the nursery, where the baby had just woken up.
He did not like staying in the house these days, so Sheryl fed him a bottle of milk before putting him
into a stroller and headed outside.
After Mrs. Watson left, Martin asked, “Both sons?”
Irene nodded. “Yeah.”
“Well, I prefer having a daughter myself. I’d be happy Lulu had a daughter.”
As he spoke, he took Lulu’s hand in his.
Irene watched them and smiled. “Why do all men prefer daughters?”
Isaac told her he wanted a daughter too.
Still, he did not have such hope, while Martin did.
Reaching out to pat Lulu’s belly, she said, “If this one’s a girl, I’ll have her as my daughter-in-law.”
Lulu gave her hand a smack. “Your son’s still a toddler, and you’re already looking for a daughter-in-
law? You’re really eager to become a mother-in-law, huh?”
“Can’t help it.” Irene shrugged. “Too many sons.”
“You only have two. Say that when you have five.”
“I’ll pass,” Irene retorted, then turned to Martin. “Have a few more on me.”
Martin simply smiled. “Sorry, but she’s the boss.”
“Oh, you,” Irene rolled her eyes, forced to see them being lovey-dovey.
Ding-dong—
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Irene answered the door since Sheryl and Mrs. Watson were out, and she was surprised by the new
arrival when she opened the door!
