The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 1140

Not bothered by Vivian's outburst, Lulu turned back into the house.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Vivian demanded furiously, feeling that Lulu was being dismissive of her. "Stop right there, Wendy Jones!"

Not interested in upsetting her, Lulu turned to look at Vivian pointedly from head to toe. "Don't try to vent all your frustrations on me because Mr. Slate refused to see you. I'm not at fault—and how did you end up like that anyway?"

"You had to ask?! My car broke down on the way back, and it turns out that my phone was out of juice when I tried to call for a tow truck! I had to stay in the car the entire time and didn't get to wash my face or brush my teeth!"

Lulu inhaled deeply. "Then go wash up before going to bed. I'm going to change too."

"Hey!" Vivian was too frustrated to let this go, just as she dared to unleash her frustrations on Lulu and no one else. "Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?!"

Lulu was at once speechless and not interested in responding, but she scowled as Vivian kept snapping at her. "It's very early, so you best be quiet. Otherwise, I'd have to tell Mr. Slate that you behaved poorly by yelling and waking Star from her sleep."

Vivian's face contorted in rage, and she was not about to calm down when she was being threatened.

Stamping her feet in frustration, she bellowed, "You're complaining to Mr. Slate? How dare you!"

Lulu studied her calmly in turn. "Men prefer delicate, vulnerable women who depend on them, while here you are shouting like a fishwife with your face contorted uglily. And you were saying Mr. Slate refused to see you? He'd have long since fired you if he saw you like this, don't you think?"

Vivan calmed down right then, since Lulu's words hit her where it hurt.

She certainly had more to say but had to give up as she considered Lulu's advice.

Whatever… she just had to consider that she was building character!

As Vivian turned quiet and soon went to bed since she was basically up the whole night, Lulu was afforded peace to wash up and take care of Star.

She certainly loved the peace of Vivian's absence.

Star had woken up and was bawling, uncomfortable in her diaper since she had soiled it.
