Isaac could read Zachary's mind right away, but Baby was not going to be a bodyguard.
How could Zachary even think of sending Baby to self-defense classes?! Dream on!
Irene came over to tease Zachary. "Your daughter's still in diapers. You're getting ahead of yourself."
Zachary sighed. "It's inevitable when you have a daughter, and I'd like it to be your sons instead of anyone else. At least you and Isaac won't harass Jean and would actually help care for her. And when you're Jean's mother-in-law, you should treat her nicer since she's Lulu's daughter too!"
Irene was left speechless.
She was still very young—becoming a mother-in-law would only happen so far in the future, and it was way too early to think about right now.
"I know," she said nonetheless. "Now let Isaac's rest. His eyes have just recovered."
"Are you saying that I'm pestering him?" Zachary asked.
Irene was speechless.
Even if Zachary did not did not mean it, how could he chase Isaac around to talk about their children? Baby had just learned to walk too… How could they discuss marriage already?!
"What do you think?" she asked in return.
Zachary was left speechless and realized then he worried too much.
Their children were still young!
He chuckled. "I'm just happy that I have Jean now."
Remembering Lulu's text, Irene then asked him, "Did Lulu call you?"
Zachary shook his head.
Irene found that weird.
No matter how busy Lulu was, she would miss her baby, right?
"Contact her when you're free," Irene said.
Zachary took no notice, however—he was convinced that Lulu had her new life now.
Even if Martin was in some sort of trouble, his identity would never permit him to touch a married woman.
