Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 1071 - Bab 1080

Irene only shoved at him briefly before responding in kind.They were soon stuck together like glue and pulling away briefly only seemed to send their passion blaring!It was yet another beautiful, stormy night, and Irene was eventually left nestling in his arms, her eyes half-closed like a languid kitten.She felt soft and limp, just as she asked, "How did you send Zachary back to Zidonia?"Isaac caressed her cheek just then, brushing her hair behind her ear. "Work. He's been here for a while anyway, so it's time he returned."Still, Isaac had a feeling that Zachary knew about Lulu but never told him directly. He was only too happy to go back to Zidonia when Isaac told him to—he would have asked something if he did not know or leave so quickly.Irene closed her eyes drowsily then. "I'm going to sleep now."Isaac gently patted her back.-Irene brought several books for Lulu when she visited the next day, since she was afraid Lulu might get bored.The location of Lulu's lod

There was a twinkle in Stan's eyes, but he did not agree to it right away. "I'll call her and speak to her about it… Or should I give you her number and let you ask?""Sure," Zachary replied. "I can get in touch to see if she's suitable.""Okay," Stan whipped out his phone and sent him the number, and Zachary's phone vibrated on the dashboard. -Zachary took Stan to dinner later to celebrate his return—it was just the two of them, and they drank a lot."Now that I'm back, it feels like you're acting weird…" Stan said seemingly nonchalantly, twirling his glass."Really?" Zachary chuckled coolly but did not press the issue and raised his glass. "Perhaps!""Congratulations. You get to come back even though you're always busy!" Stan raised his glass in turn.However, Zachary suddenly mentioned Lulu while they clinked glasses. "How's your cousin related to you?""What cousin?" Stan was confused, though he realized with a start before Zachary spoke."You mean the one with me at th

If she did, Isaac would really get upset with her this time!"Be safe!" Irene sighed exasperatedly but said nothing else.After hanging up, she stared at her door for a long while—she had no idea when it started, but Lulu and Zachary's lives had become two parallel lines, having no chance of intersecting.She sighed again.-On the other end, Lulu received a friend request from Zachary—he probably added her because he could not reach her the first time.[Hello, I'm Stan's friend and I heard you're a child care worker. Are you still in the profession at the moment?][Yes.] Lulu replied almost immediately. [May I see your certification?]Zachary was prudent—but anyone else would be if their child were involved!Lulu's heart skipped a beat, but it was fortunate that she already used a new photo for her certificate. She might be in trouble if she did not![Okay. Please wait a moment—I will take a photo right now!]After a brief wait, Lulu sent him the photo, and Zachary was

"Oh, it's fine!" Zachary smiled and picked up his cup of coffee for a sip.He looked up again after lowering the glass and said, "Stan told me that you had experience with many children abroad. What can you tell me about it? My child has been crying a lot since I've been busy lately, so I have to get a child care worker… Moreover, I'm a single man and not exactly the delicate type, so caring for children can get inconvenient."He certainly was not careless with her child, and he was left sighing upon remembering how Jean kept crying into the middle of the night!Lulu felt warmth in her heart seeing Zachary's attitude—any man who realized that he lacked the delicate touch was certainly giving his best!"I have cared for the children of several families abroad. You may read some of the feedback!" Lulu said, and handed him some of the materials she prepared. "I asked Stan to bring me back since staying abroad permanently isn't doing me any favors either.""Wendy Jones…?" Zachary co

Both Zachary and Lulu hurried into the room, where Erma had Luna in her arms and was coaxing her to sleep.Lulu scowled at the sight of Erma, storming angrily toward her."What are you doing?!" Lulu demanded accusingly while taking Luna off her arms. "Can't you get some training? Why can't you hold the baby right? She's so young!" Luna had been crying for so long her voice was hoarse, and Lulu actually felt the impulse to cry upon seeing Luna. She finally got to see her baby—the baby whom she had carried for ten difficult months and thought of every waking moment.On the other hand, Erma was left stunned—that was how she always carried her children, and no one told her that it was wrong! "Mr. Slate, I…" she stammered, left awkward and unsure what to say."Go back to cleaning the house!"Zachary waved her off dismissively, his eyes fixed on Lulu's nervous reaction.There was nothing wrong with what she said, and she acted just like a childcare worker… But did she have to be
