The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407

“Lulu was staying with us a while ago, wasn’t she? I sensed that Ricky became infatuated with Lulu after that.”

Sheryl was quite experienced herself, and had seen through Ricky’s thoughts for a while now.

And after what she said, Irene started to look at Ricky differently, while the boy did not sense the women’s looks as he called Lulu.

Soon, his call was answered.

“Lulu? It’s me.”

On the other end, Lulu smiled as she asked, “Hey. Have you reached home already?”

“Yeah, I had something to ask,” Ricky said, but paused for a moment. “Wait, hold that thought.”

Covering the receiver, he turned toward Irene and asked, “When’s Zachary Slate getting married?”

“In two days,” Irene said.

With that, Ricky returned to the call, “In two days, please come over first thing in the morning.”

Lulu said, “I’m busy.”

“Actually, this is something important and I need your help. Just this once, and I won’t bother you anymore. Pretty please?”

Lulu was still reluctant. “I’m really busy…”

Nonetheless, Ricky persisted, even humbling himself to do so. “Come on, Lulu, just say yes. Show some pity since I just went over to visit you myself?”

Unable to say no, Lulu said, “Fine, but you have to promise me that you won’t act on a whim, and do something like coming over at the drop of a hat.”

“Okay,” Ricky agreed to it chipperly, and hung up.

Irene then asked, “Why would you want her to come over?”

“Just telling her won’t have much impact. She must see it herself, that Zachary is at the altar with another woman–it’s the only way to get her to give up on him.” Ricky said, and his idea certainly covered all fronts.

Still, Irene stared at him for a while, and asked the obvious, “You really care about Lulu, don’t you? Are you that into her?”

“Doesn’t matter even if I am. Neither of us are married or in a relationship.”

Ricky did not hide the fact that he was interested in Lulu and wanted to woo her.

“She’s older than you, y’know,” Irene told him.

“Older ladies are all the craze with young boys these days,” Ricky countered–age clearly was no issue for him.

With that, Irene stopped going on about it. She should not meddle in their affairs, not to mention that her own relationship was a mess.
