Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 971 - Bab 980

Zachary did not argue the point since Lulu was the baby's mother."If you say so. Come on, just let me go already." Irene frowned—he was clearly saying what she wanted to hear, and he would not hesitate to go looking for Lulu."I won't let you go." Irene's attitude was definitive, and she ignored Zachary's howls this time, closing the door behind her as she left.Naturally, Zachary was not about to give up. Even when bound, he kept yelling for Irene until the whole house found out that Eagle tied him up!As Tommy and Sheryl entered the study, Tommy had his palm over his little mouth as he giggled, while Sheryl was speechless!"You're all adults! What are you doing?"Zachary quickly tried to play the sympathy card. "Please talk to Irene. She's really throwing her weight around the house with Isaac away."Sheryl frowned. "Is she really being so unreasonable?"Seeing that Sheryl was almost persuaded, Eagle spoke up. "Mrs. Jefferson wouldn't tie him up for no reason." Sheryl th

Eagle was confused—he was positive that Zachary would never free himself after with the knots he tied around him. "How did you free yourself?"Someone must have done it!Zachary chuckled coldly. "You've been betrayed."Tommy blinked his big, bright eyes. "By who?""Your mommy, of course!" Zachary snapped, not bothered to give chase. "Now get over here like a good boy, and I won't make it hurt. Get stubborn with me, and you'll get a spanking!"Tommy's little jaw hung open. "You're terrible, Uncle Zachary." "Only because it's you—or did you forget what you did to me?" Zachary growled, sitting down on the stairs and beckoning, "Get over here."Tommy, however, turned toward Eagle. "Do you think the two of us can beat him?""I can do it myself," Eagle replied.The exchange left Zachary speechless, while Tommy confidently put his hands on his hips. "Get over here.""You brat!" Zachary snapped. "You should behave, but you want a fight instead? I see you really want a spanking!" T

Zachary almost cursed. "Did he bail?"However, he had just whipped out his phone when he saw Barzel, who had already changed into the clothes Zachary brought.Barzel's hair was now clean, revealing its original dark blond hue. It was quite long and covered his ears.His cheeks were fair and speckled, and his bangs dangled over his brows in front of his cobalt-blue eyes. He was carrying a plate of food and watching Zachary as he said, "Sorry. I was hungry." He left to find food when he stepped out of the bathroom and found no one around. Since it was complimentary, he brought some back to his room.As Zachary lowered his phone, Barzel asked, "Would you like some?" Zachary shook his head and settled on the couch, while Barzel put the plate on the table and continued eating."What's your name?" Zachary asked."Barzel," Barzel replied while keeping his head lowered and continued stuffing his mouth full of food. "Just ask me if you have any questions."Zachary was quite surpr

Zachary refused to answer, leaving Irene unable to stay composed at all.He knew Isaac much earlier than she did, and she scarcely knew a thing about his past.What was Zachary trying to say? [Explain yourself, Zachary Slate! What were you trying to say?!]Zachary simply lay in bed, lifting a brow when his phone jingled with a notification, but he did not check it.He knew that Irene was flustered—and certainly had the capacity for it.As it turned out, no one could stay unaffected when something like that happened to them. He certainly did not believe in empathy—one had to experience the same anguish as the person to really know how it felt, and those who had never gone through it would never understand it.Meanwhile, his phone kept jingling, and he finally picked it up for a look.[Zachary Slate!][Zachary Slate!!!]He was being spammed with his own name.Chuckling, he slowly got to his feet and answered the door.Irene was actually stunned, since she did not expect h

Lulu's phone was on silent mode since the last time it rang, it woke Jean right after she put her to sleep.Jean was crying a long while afterward too, so Lulu always put her phone on silent to avoid that from happening again—at least it meant peace for her baby. Earlier, she left it on the couch while washing the dirty laundry, and she was now in the bedroom to feed Jean.Lulu did not see or hear her phone vibrating repeatedly.And after she fed Jean, she folded the laundry and put them in the closet. Once she was done with housework, she lay in bed and took a nap with Jean in her arms.She did not sleep well, after all—in fact, she had not gotten a good night's sleep after she and Martin consummated their marriage.He would come on to her every night and for hours! She therefore needed her nap to recharge during daytime.Martin returned just then, putting some fish he brought in the kitchen. He was planning to make soup for Lulu since she has not been lactating much, and Je
