The Runaway Groom Chapter 1136
Ignoring Ken, Lulu stored inside the kitchen and started washing Star's belongings."What would you like for lunch?""What?"Lulu was left staring at Ken in confusion again—the man did not speak with rhyme or reason!"Well, Vivian can't cook, and I suspect you're the same…"Would she have allowed Vivian to blow up the kitchen otherwise?Lulu still held her tongue anyway—Sue Lambert was supposed to return eventually.Seeing that, Ken did press the issue. "I'll make lunch. Tell me if you have something in mind."Lulu was actually caught stunned, and Ken explained even as she appeared pensive, "Now, now—don't judge me because I'm single. I don't mind telling you that I can cook well, and there aren't that many men as successful as I am. That reminds me—are you single too, Ms. Jones? If you are, would you like to know me better?"Lulu frowned—she despised flirty men like him.Once she was done washing everything, she left the kitchen.Ken, however, pressed on. "What would you li

Lulu stared at the man before her in shock—given what he revealed, did that mean Zachary already knew who she was but just did not show it?She panicked at that and did her best to quell her frantic thoughts.She had to keep pretending if she wanted to stay here right beside Star. It was the only way she could keep caring for Star, as she could not stay if her cover was blown.And she would do it, whether Zachary knew or otherwise!"I've been married before," she said as she wolfed down her food. "I hate being tied down and men."Ken sighed. "Birds of the same feather really do flock together. The way you both are being tsundere are identical.""Don't joke around about something like that," Lulu snapped sternly."But I wasn't joking," Ken replied.That was when Star started bawling, and Lulu did not hesitate to put everything down to run to her.Since Star's skin was fair, the redness around her eyes were apparent whenever she cried, and Lulu wiped away her tears while picking

While Zachary watched Star and Lulu like it was perfectly normal, Ken was scowling impatiently for being treated like a phone stand."To the left, Ken. I can't see Star…"When Ken did so, Zachary complained again. "That's too far left! A little to the right!"Ken kept adjusting as Zachary complained, until he had enough. "I'm not a camera stand, Zachary Slate!"Shoving the phone in Lulu's hand, Ken planted himself on a nearby couch, huffing.Lulu held the phone, aiming the camera at Star.The baby's little hands reached out toward the phone, and Zachary's heart could melt from the cuteness.He would like to stay home and give her a bear hug, but work progress had been slow, and it was only today that they were starting to get things done."Just wait for me, Star. Daddy will be home soon.""You're returning already, Mr. Slate?" Lulu asked, exceedingly uncomfortable.She would rather Zachary did not come back so soon since she was fine with spending time with Star like this.S

Still keeping her back to the camera, Lulu said, "My button was loose, and you saw it without saying a word. Is that respect?"Zachary reclined against his seat, perhaps exhausted from work as he rubbed his temples.Still, he said, "But I saw nothing… Or was there something I was supposed to see?"He did not mean it.Moreover, he was a normal, physically healthy man, and she was the woman he loved—he certainly had some funny ideas! Something would be wrong with him if he was unmoved!Lulu bit her lip to repress her displeasure for Star's sake—she just had to be more careful from now on.As she still kept her back to the camera, Zachary got upset and said, "You're working for me. What's the issue with doing as I tell you?"Lulu was speechless—she certainly was being paid as a babysitter and should respect her employer's request.In fact, why was she so repulsed, as if she could not take even a minor offense?Holding tightly onto Star, she slowly turned around, keeping her hea

Not bothered by Vivian's outburst, Lulu turned back into the house. "What do you think you're doing?!" Vivian demanded furiously, feeling that Lulu was being dismissive of her. "Stop right there, Wendy Jones!"Not interested in upsetting her, Lulu turned to look at Vivian pointedly from head to toe. "Don't try to vent all your frustrations on me because Mr. Slate refused to see you. I'm not at fault—and how did you end up like that anyway?""You had to ask?! My car broke down on the way back, and it turns out that my phone was out of juice when I tried to call for a tow truck! I had to stay in the car the entire time and didn't get to wash my face or brush my teeth!"Lulu inhaled deeply. "Then go wash up before going to bed. I'm going to change too.""Hey!" Vivian was too frustrated to let this go, just as she dared to unleash her frustrations on Lulu and no one else. "Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?!"Lulu was at once speechless and not interested in responding,

Glaring sharply at Vivian, Ken demanded, "Do I need your permission to be here? You're just a secretary, and one who only got her job because of pressing circumstances—and you're here telling me how to behave?"Vivian did a double take—she presumed Ken to be agreeable since he was noncommittal about everything, and she really forgot her place!Forcing herself to stay calm, she replied, "Mr. Slate told me to be here.""For what?" Ken asked in return.Vivian was actually left stumped. "To clean the house. He's worried that Wendy can't do it all alone.""Are you sure that's what you're doing here instead of causing trouble?" Ken stared at her pointedly from head to toe, his tone clearly one of contempt. "You look like you're enjoying your time here."Vivian lowered her gaze and realized that she was still in her pajamas, having just woken up because she was hungry.Still, she also became frustrated as she remembered the incident of the roasted goose, which failed to earn her an aud

Ken's eyes widened in disbelief. "For real?""Of course," Lulu replied. "So don't bother me anymore."Ken simply folded his arms before his chest as he looked on interestedly. "Then tell me—are you a top or a bottom?""What?" Lulu was perplexed.Ken laughed out loud right then, and Lulu looked at him as if he was crazy. "Go to the hospital if you have issues.""I'm perfectly fine," Ken replied, shaking his head. "Why would I be sick?"Sighing, he explained, "The fact that you haven't heard of those terms when you're claiming to be a lesbian makes it obvious you're lying. You prefer men in the end."Lulu then realized that 'top' and 'bottom' was some lingo, but she certainly had no idea even if she did not discriminate against homosexuals. Be it men with men, or women with women—preferences are dictated by feelings and boundaries are irrelevant. Who can judge right or wrong or dictate something unlawful even if society dislikes it?Wargh—Star suddenly woke up, and Lulu hurri
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1143
Zachary was worn out since work schedule had been tight for days. He called Ken during his break, intending to ask how Lulu and Star were doing, but Ken never answered.Tapping his fingers impatiently on his table, he thought about it for a while and decided to call Lulu instead.However, since she had put her phone on silent before sleeping last night and was busy coaxing Star to sleep, she did not hear it vibrate.Unable to reach Lulu or Ken pushed Zachary over the brink, and he did not hesitate to drive home immediately.Meanwhile, Ken lay down on the living room couch as if he owned the place—he was not one who would put himself through any suffering anyway.-Vivian was left gaping when she arrived at the place Ken told her to go to.It was a ton of furniture! She was basically told to move houses! And how was she supposed to do it?! She had never moved that many things in a single day, and she would be exhausted!When she whipped out her phone, ready to call a moving co
