Lulu stared at the man before her in shock—given what he revealed, did that mean Zachary already knew who she was but just did not show it?
She panicked at that and did her best to quell her frantic thoughts.
She had to keep pretending if she wanted to stay here right beside Star. It was the only way she could keep caring for Star, as she could not stay if her cover was blown.
And she would do it, whether Zachary knew or otherwise!
"I've been married before," she said as she wolfed down her food. "I hate being tied down and men."
Ken sighed. "Birds of the same feather really do flock together. The way you both are being tsundere are identical."
"Don't joke around about something like that," Lulu snapped sternly.
"But I wasn't joking," Ken replied.
That was when Star started bawling, and Lulu did not hesitate to put everything down to run to her.
Since Star's skin was fair, the redness around her eyes were apparent whenever she cried, and Lulu wiped away her tears while picking her up.
"Oh, Star. Are you hungry?" Lulu asked, and brought a bottle she prepared earlier.
As Star stopped crying after having her fill, Ken entered and picked up a rattle to play with her.
"Hey Star, your godfather is here to visit."
Lulu then watched in surprise as Star's little lips split into a wide smile, leaking plenty of milk.
