Isaac frowned at Neil's short fuse."Your father was murdered. The police are building a case as we speak." Neil did not buy it at all. "You're only making excuses for your wife. Do you think I'd believe something so outrageous? Do I look that stupid and gullible to you?"Isaac really wanted to tell Neil he certainly was—he certainly was reluctant to speak with Neil's type, who always seemed to lack something in his cranium. They even discovered that he was working at a Fortune 500 company when they did a background check on him. How did he even get his job, with that measly bit of intelligence?And how did he not get fired?That was when James arrived with a policeman, who was the officer in charge of this case.Neil was cowed a little right then. "You don't have the right of reason even if you get the cops. I'm not afraid."James shot him a cool look. "Listen to what Officer Jenkins has to say first before you keep yapping.""What…" James's eyes flashed, but he stayed si

"Know what?" Martin asked.Lulu pursed her lips. "You know what I'm talking about."Martin blinked. "No, I really don't.""Anyway, I'm getting sleepy." He yawned and wrapped his arms firmly around her. "Let's sleep!"However, Lulu felt uneasy and her heart was pounding. Still, she said determinedly, "I wouldn't have married you if I was convinced I can reconcile with my ex. I hope you can trust me when I say that you're my refuge, alright?" "Yeah, I know," Martin said, kissing her hair. "I misspoke and made you uncomfortable. I'll be more careful next time.""That's not it," Lulu said, shaking her head. Still, she took a while to prepare herself before saying, "The man we met at the lobby the other day? That's my ex.""I know," Martin said. Lulu was not surprised, and she lowered her gaze. "I should've known you'd pick up on it. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to feel upset…""Cut that out," Martin said, holding her hand. "I knew you had a past even when I ch

Zachary did not follow them since he had his pride. If he still tagged along after everything Lulu said, he would cheapen himself! So what was he still obsessing about?Lulu had already started over! As he stared at Lulu and Martin holding hands, he suddenly hung his head and chuckled self-deprecatingly. Maybe he had just made himself a joke for them, showing up here?He strode out of the hotel and drove away.Since she was happy now, he should not bother her.He could make amends by offering her his blessing anyway.…Irene was meeting Lulu at home.Mrs. Watson brewed a pot of tea for them, while the rest of the hilltop mansion was quiet—Tommy was still obsessively playing with his Bumblebee walker outside, while Irene's second child was asleep. "So? How is the case going?" Lulu asked directly. Irene had yet to ask Isaac for an update, but since he had returned home very late last night, it was probably resolved."I think it'll be resolved soon," Irene said, lookin

Isaac brought James home.James had not been texting Erin much since he had been busy over the last few days, and he planned to go to Minerva once the Dennis Turner case was resolved.However, Isaac stopped him and told him to have dinner at his house since he had guests.James had no choice but to put his plans on hold, and he sat down on the couch to text Erin. [I'll come tomorrow to visit you. I've already booked a flight tonight.] Erin, who was playing with Irene's baby, whipped out her phone for a look when she felt it vibrate. She then saw James's text, and the contents left her smiling, but she replied: [You don't have to since you're busy. I'm not that important—just do your job properly.]James frowned. [Are you upset?][Yeah.]At the same time, Erin was carrying Irene's baby and sneaked behind him before leaning in to blow her warm breath into his ear.Startled, James sprang to his feet."Who the…"…hell was messing around with him?! Still, he was left gaping

Zachary stiffened. He was silent for a while, before saying quietly, "I'm fine."Opening his car door and getting into his car, he told Irene, "You should go back inside.However, Irene strode up and put a hand on a window, struggling for a while before eventually saying, "You should give up."Zachary looked up at her with sadness in his eyes. "I did."Irene would have liked to offer more comfort, but she could not find the right words. All she could have said would have been 'there's plenty of fish in the sea.'But even if Zachary did find someone better, would he loved her more than he loved Lulu?The hardest thing to do was to meet a person you genuinely loved, after all."I'm fine, don't worry. I'm not that weak," Zachary said as he started the car. "You should go back inside."With that, he drove off, and Irene watched as he did.For some reason, her heart ached a little for him now…That was when she felt a hand on her shoulder, and she turned to find that it was Is
