The Runaway Groom

If Zachary was distracted by Vivian, he probably would not have time to manage Lulu.

"It's time, Irene," Isaac suddenly said.

Irene rose to her feet too. "We're going now, Lulu."

Lulu got up too. "I didn't even bring you a drink..."

"No, you keep both arms on your daughter." Irene smiled. "So, do you think we can have our tots betrothed to each other?"

Lulu shot her a look. "Your son's still a boy, and you're looking for a daughter-in-law already? You really do want to get old quicker, huh?"

Irene sighed. "I'm jobless. What else can I think about other than some random stuff?"

Lulu could actually tell that Irene was a little less energetic since she had not been working.

People usually could not see what women did for their families.

It was not the middle ages, where only women with careers would be more vibrant.

Still, she and Irene had lost their past selves and now lived for their children. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Lulu checked her phone at around 4 PM-Zachary had not called, and it was probably because he was busy.

She put Star in her crib-she did not feel lonely just by standing next to Star.

She made milk for Star, who was sharp enough to drink by herself.

Lulu could not help patting her little head-Star was building up an appetite, and she just needed a couple of bottles of milk for each other.

Lulu would replace the rest of Star's diet with other food so that she could wean Star off milk sooner.

Still, while she was pondering over her baby's diet, her phone started ringing, jolting her to her senses.

It was Zachary.

"Mr. Slate," Lulu greeted him as she answered and leveled the phone camera on Star.

"I only have one hour, Ms. Jones... Did someone visit you?"

Lulu's heart skipped a beat, surprised that Zachary would check the cameras even though he was very busy. "Yeah, it's an old friend who dropped by to check on me."

"Hey, Star! Did you miss Daddy?" Zachary then called out to Star.

Seeing his baby drinking fervently, Zachary suddenly felt hungry since he had not eaten.

"Vivian will be dropping by later to deliver a document."

"Okay, I understand."

The doorbell rang again even as they spoke, and Lulu knew right away it would be Vivian.

There was

Lulu took it and started to close the door...

up a huge bag. "Didn't Mr. Slate say I could come by to help? Can n bstay here?"

Lulu did not know what to say and spoke to Zachary about it.

Zachary had wanted Lulu to speak up and refuse, but Lulu would never overreach.

Hence, after Zachary stared at Lulu for a few beats, he said, "If you don't mind, you can let her stay and be an eyesore."

While Lulu was left speechless, Vivian only heard the part where she could stay.

"Sorry for imposing." She smiled and left to get a room.

Noticing that Lulu was staying closest to Zachary's room, she said, "I'll take this room!"
