The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 316

Episode 316

Lulu sat on her bed, silent for a long while.

Irene waited quietly without urging her, until Lulu suddenly said, “Zachary and I had a fight.”

Irene was left stunned for seconds, before asking in disbelief, “You two fought? Why?”

“His mother promised that she’d agree to our relationship if Zachary returned to his family business and claimed leadership, right? He did, but his mother now insisted that I must give up on my career to be a full- time housewife if we are to get married. She said that I’m supposed to care for and support Zachary, but I don’t want to give up on my job.”

“Well, what did Zachary say?” Irene asked.

Lulu scowled at the mention of Zachary. “He said that he gave up his preferred career for my sake, and asked me why I can’t sacrifice mine for him. But is our relationship only sustained by our sacrifices?”

Lulu certainly knew that she should sacrifice a little for him after what he did, but said, “Look, Irene. I can make it up to him in any other way, but I would have nothing left if I gave up on my career. I mean….

Irene knew why she felt insecure.

Lulu came from a poor family, and she would be fully dependent on Zachary if she did not have a job.

And if Zachary had a change of heart, she would have nothing.

Irene understood her worries, and was herself unwilling to give up on her passion over family.

Fortunately, Isaac was supportive, and she decided to be nicer to him. After all, not all partners could be understanding like him.

“But you’re working in Sunny City. If you didn’t resign, won’t you be living apart even if Mrs. Slate agreed to you getting married to Zachary?”
