"Trouble at work," Lulu replied and stood aside. "Come in."
Suddenly, she hesitated. "If I let you in…"
"Easy. Just say I barged in," Irene joked.
Lulu nodded. "The air outside is good. Wait here."
Lulu hurried to Star's room, putting her down to make sure she did not dirty her diaper, and was comfortable with it.
Everything was fine, so she held Star in her arms and gently walked her.
Star's slowly stopped bawling and after calming her down, Lulu smiled at Irene. "Let's talk out in the garden."
Star seemed exhausted after crying and leaned against Lulu's shoulder as she carried Star to the garden.
Irene smiled even as she stared at Star's little cheeks, which were just fleshing out.
She loved daughters but regrettably had none.
"Let me carry her," she said.
"Didn't you just touch down? You should rest," Lulu said, having a hunch that Irene was already in flight when she texted her.
"I'm fine," Irene said.
Isaac left to take a call, leaving smoothly to let the ladies spend some quality time.
"You really came as soon as you said you'd come." Lulu shook her head disapprovingly.
Irene had her own children to take care of but would not be tired since she had her mother and Mrs. Watson's help.
On the other hand, Lulu would certainly have a hard time doing everything by herself.
"Well, Isaac has work stuff that must be handled in the country. I came with him, but mostly to see you."
More importantly, Irene wanted to check out how Lulu was doing at the moment, though she must admit she was relieved to see her in this state.
