Lulu frowned after she tapped on the address—she was quite familiar with the place since she used to meet Zachary there!

Over in Franconia, Irene was still more or less concerned after her call with Lulu. After all, Lulu had gone through multiple surgeries without proper recovery, so Irene was worried her body could not take it!
Isaac had arrived home just then and was left frowning when he found Irene distracted. "What is it?"
"You're early," Irene replied, coming to her senses.
"I'm done with work," Isaac replied, his gaze flickering just then—he could not tell her that he would like to spend more time with her now that she was back, could he?
Pierre came up to them, asking, "Dinner is ready, sir. Shall we start serving?"
"Yeah," Isaac said and put an arm around Irene's shoulders as they headed to the dining hall.
"Did you come back early because of me?" Irene suddenly asked.
Isaac was tsundere as ever. "I just finished work early."
Irene smiled. "Really?"
"What's there to lie about?" he said, turning away.
Irene pursed her lips and did not expose him as they sat down.
"Here, eat," Isaac said, putting food on her plate.
As she ate, he said, "After this, I'm checking if you're skinnier after your time in Minerva."
