The Runaway Groom

"Trouble at work," Lulu replied and stood aside. "Come in."

Suddenly, she hesitated. "If I let you in..."

"Easy. Just say I barged in," Irene joked.

Lulu nodded. "The air outside is good. Wait here."

Lulu hurried to Star's room, putting her down to make sure she did not dirty her diaper, and was comfortable with it.

Everything was fine, so she held Star in her arms and gently walked her.

Star's slowly stopped bawling and after calming her down, Lulu smiled at Irene. "Let's talk out in the garden."

Star seemed exhausted after crying and leaned against Lulu's shoulder as she carried Star to the garden.

Irene smiled even as she stared at Star's little cheeks, which were just fleshing out.

She loved daughters but regrettably had none. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"Let me carry her," she said.

"Didn't you just touch down? You should rest," Lulu said, having a hunch that Irene was already in flight when she texted her. "I'm fine," Irene said.

Isaac left to take a call, leaving smoothly to let the ladies spend some quality time.

"You really came as soon as you said you'd come." Lulu shook her head disapprovingly.

Irene had her own children to take care of but would not be tired since she had her mother and Mrs. Watson's help.

On the other hand, Lulu would certainly have a hard time doing everything by herself.

"Well, Isaac has work stuff that must be handled in the country. I came with him, but mostly to see you."

More importantly, Irene wanted to check out how Lulu was doing at the moment, though she must admit she was relieved to see her in this state. "Then when are you leaving?" Lulu asked.

Irene rolled her eyes she had just arrived, and Lulu wanted her gone already?

"That's not what I mean!" Lulu quickly said, worried that Irene would misunderstand.

"I know. Anyway, I'll be leaving tomorrow night." Irene smiled, looking Lulu in the eye and holding her hand firmly. "Also, I'm happy to see you doing well now. I'm relieved to see you like this."

At the very least, Lulu was able to live her days in peace.

Lulu nodded and told Irene about Zachary.

"There are cameras all over the house. He wasn't like this before, y'know?"

That was why Lulu rather chatted outside with Irene-once Zachary saw the footage and realized she knew Irene, her cover would be blown.

"It's only right for him to be careful." Irene smiled. "He's a dad now."

At her words, Lulu remembered Star peeing on Zachary and could not help smiling.

Irene saw that and teased, "Wow, that's one beautiful smile. What's on your mind? Is it about Zachary?"

Lulu was left speechless and

shaking her head. "I'm just thinking

about Row adorable Star is. My

daughter is the only one who can

make me smile."

Irene pinched Star's tiny cheeks just then.

She would love such an adorable daughter with such rosy cheeks too, but she just was not lucky enough to have one herself.

"You've been staying with Zachary for so long, and he never noticed anything strange?" Irene asked, staring at Lulu.

"You really can't stop going on about

it, huh?" Lulu@ighed. "We're just employer and employee-he's busy with work and usually won't be home until very late at night. I have plenty of freedom here, and I'm able to take care of Star every waking moment. There's nothing inconvenient, and..."

Lulu then remembered last night. Frowning, she thought about Zachary's behavior.

He probably did not suspect a thing, since he was keeping Vivian Crowe around.

And to be fair, having a woman around him was good.
