The Runaway Groom Chapter 1138
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

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

"Of course," Irene replied. "There's Mrs. Watson too."Her mother Sheryl Harris had babysat a lot over the years, so Irene sent her on a trip around the world. Sheryl had been working hard for so long that it was time for her to enjoy herself.Naturally, Isaac arranged for tour guides for her, though it would be more precise to call them bodyguards. As they were multilingual, they could both keep Sheryl safe and plan her trip.She basically had nothing to worry about aside from enjoying herself."I'm always getting sleepy lately," Erin said."That's normal in pregnancy," Irene replied."Did the same happen to you when you had Tommy and Baby?"Irene thought about it. "Not so much, though I did get morning sickness."Erin rested her chin on her hand. "Why do pregnancies last for ten months? It's so taxing, and I was so shocked when I read about the potential risks pregnancies pose to the mothers' health. And there are stretch marks that look like cracks… Do you have those?"Ir

The room was quiet, save for the gentle breeze blowing in through the window.It was not cold and was actually invigorating. Zachary sat by the bed to watch Lulu sleep.Without her lies or pretenses, Zachary found serenity—if only time could stop here.He glanced at Star in turn—was she sleeping soundly as well because she knew her mother was right beside her?It was certainly better for children to stay by their mother's side.As he pulled the blanket over them, Lulu stirred and opened her eyes, then stared at the figure before her quizzically. There should not be anyone here… was it Ken?Still, she soon sat up when she saw who it was."M-Mr. Slate?!" she exclaimed as her head cleared, straightening her clothes as she got out of bed. "Shouldn't you be away for a month? Why are you back so soon?"Worried about her modesty again, she buttoned her blouse. Zachary studied her and kept his voice deliberately cool. "I said I wanted to see Star every day. You didn't answer my v
