Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 1211 - Bab 1220

Stan chuckled. "When did you become so generous? That's not like you."Zachary filled his glass to the brim and asked, "And how was I before?"Stan made a face as he thought. "Can't quite remember, but nothing good.""Quit slandering me." Zachary snorted. "My bride is here too, and if she dumps me because of your slander, you'll have to compensate me with another bride."Stan sighed. "How? When I don't have one myself? But you can have me if you want.""No. Stay away." Zachary refused to play along.Either way, it was a calm dinner and everyone was happy for Zachary and Lulu.It was not easy for them to find each other again and happiness."Here. An early toast to your happiness." Stan raised his glass, and Zachary clinked glasses with him."Hope your dreams come true." James raised his glass as well, and Zachary refilled his own before accepting James' toast.And when that was done, Irene raised her glass of fruit juice as well. "Congratulations for finally getting together.

Zachary stood still, leaning against the doorway with his hands in his pockets. He watched as sunlight spilled in, shrouding Lulu and Star in a golden glow that almost seemed unreal.He walked over to hug Lulu, fearful that it was a dream he would wake up from.Lulu stiffened but did her best to fight her fears and smile at him. "What is it? I'm changing Star's diaper—can't do it if you're clinging to me like this. Let me go…""Don't. Just let me have a couple more moments." Zachary was clearly reluctant, even tightening his arms around her.Eventually, he murmured, "Lulu."Lulu looked up. "Yeah?"Zachary smiled. "I don't know if I'm dreaming, even though I'm hearing your voice and breath.""Are you still drunk?"Zachary rested his chin playfully on her shoulder. "Nope, been sober for a while. I just suddenly feel so happy seeing you with Star… everything I went through is insignificant compared to what I have now."Lulu lowered her gaze as the past played out in her mind.It

Erin pulled Tommy firmly into her arms, "I'm fine, Irene. Tommy loves me—that's why he loves my hugs. How can I refuse him?""Well, you still shouldn't tolerate him too much or you'd spoil him," Irene pointed out."But you only have two children. What's wrong with spoiling them a little?" Erin smiled and tickled Tommy's chin. "Right, Tommy?"Tommy blinked. He soon got the idea and nodded repeatedly. "Yes!"While Irene gave him a spank on the rear, Lulu chimed in as well. "Tommy is the eldest, but he's still just a kid. He should be loved.""You hear that, Mommy?" Tommy grinned. "Aunt Erin and Aunt Lulu are telling you to love me more.""You brat." Irene sighed, shaking her head. "Don't I love you enough?"Tommy leaned into Erin's arms. "Not as much as Aunt Erin does."Irene laughed despite herself. "Alright, then you can stay with her—don't come home. Baby is my only son now."Tommy promptly caved, leaping at Irene, hugging her and kissing her. "Mommy! I love you the most. You

Irene caught his hand and lowered it. "Shush.""I shouldn't talk?" Tommy asked softly.Irene nodded, whispering into his ear, "Let's just watch closely without making noise."Tommy nodded tamely. "Aunt Lulu looks so beautiful."Irene glanced at Lulu and smiled too—she was the most beautiful woman today, especially under the spotlight.-The decoration of the wedding hall was exquisite and dreamlike, creating a romantic atmosphere.Blossoming flowers lined the reception areas, bringing color and life to the scene.As Lulu slowly walked toward Zachary along the carpet covered in flower petals, Zachary seemed to only see and hear her.He held out his hand to her, and she slowly placed her palm on his.The hall erupted in thunderous cheers and applause, with Tommy clapping the hardest, followed by Stan, until Erin leaned in to ask him, "Hey, why are you so excited? It's not you who's getting married."Stan was speechless.Wheeling on James, he snapped, "Mind your wife."James

Naturally, there was an order to toasting guests too—they started from the main table where Zachary's immediate family was seated before continuing to other guests.Zachary had therefore deliberately arranged for Isaac's table at the very end, so they could sit down together with them and eat.Naturally, Isaac, James, and Stan had no reason to excuse themselves from the wedding ceremony."You two must be hungry," Irene said when Lulu and Zachary arrived at their table. "Come sit and eat."Zachary brought a chair for Lulu while he sat beside her.Stan, who was staring at Zachary for a while, asked, "Aren't you full already?"Zachary frowned just as he was about to eat a piece of lobster. "Why not? It's my wedding, I should be eating my share if not more. You're being weird.""More like your happiness should already leave you stuffed." Stan chuckled."You can test that theory yourself.""I have no happiness, so I can't. But you do."Zachary ignored him, eating the lobster and t
