Chapter 423
On the floor, Ricky was lying on his back. His bath towel–which must have loosened from his waist–was just covering his privates.
Lulu was standing at the living room, a glass of water in hand as she stared impassively at him.
Sheryl was nearby as well, gaping at Ricky in shock
Irene was speechless.
What was going on here?!
Nonetheless, a resounding scream soon followed, and she had to cover Tommy’s ears. “Aaarrrggghhh!!!”
Ricky’s fair buttcheeks were bare even as he held his towel against his groin as he fled. Bang!
The door was shut so loudly that Tommy jumped in surprise.
Irene stood at the stairway and looked downstairs, asking, “What happened there?”
Lulu calmly drank her glass of water before telling her.
“He came out of the shower with just a towel around his waist, and asked me for water since he saw me drinking. He wasn’t watching where he was going while he drank, and knocked into the table, tripped, and fell, breaking the glass…”
Irene was at a loss for words–Lulu cared more about the glass, and not whether Ricky was hurt?
“Ricky has been kind to you. You should show some concern,” Irene told her.
With Zachary married, there was no chance for Lulu to be with him now.
On the other hand, even though Ricky was younger than Lulu, he really liked her… and a relationship might not even be out of the question, and the fact that Ricky inherited his mother’s good looks was a plus.
Lulu could tell that Irene was trying to get them together and really wanted to roll her eyes at her friend.
“Dream on.”
Irene blinked. “What’s wrong with Ricky?”
“I’m older than him, and you want me to become your sister–in–law?”
Sheryl could not help chuckling. “Age isn’t an issue. All that matters is that you both like each other.”
While Lulu was left speechless, Irene chimed in, “Hear, hear…”
“Quit it. Also, I’m not into him,” Lulu growled. “I have to go now.”
Irene headed downstairs while still carrying Tommy. “I’m just kidding. Don’t get so upset.”
