Chapter 672
Ricky quickly ran up to Lulu the instant he saw her, hugging her without a care. "You remember me, right? You wouldn't have given me that look earlier otherwise... I thought I was imagining it, but you came. I was right!"
"Actually, I don't," Lulu said.
It certainly dampened Ricky's enthusiasm, but he did not seem to buy it. " You can forget everyone, but not me!"
He was holding Lulu's shoulders, looking straight into her eyes!
Lulu did not flinch, however, and she met his gaze. "Well, I don't remember you, but I understand that you've been good to me and always told me the truth. I've seen your rage toward Zachary Slate and how excited you were to see me, and I know that you're a good person."
Ricky's eyes welled with tears from excitement.
"I'm not just a good person-l'm the one who loves you, and wants to protect you," he said, taking her hand. "You have to come with me."
Nonetheless, Lulu shook her head. "I can't."
Ricky lost his composure right then. ’ Why? Are you really with Zachary? He dumped you to get married, or do you really want to stay with him after what he did to you?"
"No. I actually lost my memory because Zachary's mother tried to kill me," Lulu explained. "I was saved nonetheless, and thus decided to have my revenge. That's why I can't go with you."
Ricky stared at her. ' Won't you be in danger?"
"No," Lulu said with a determined gaze. ’Zachary doesn’t know that I know what his mother did, and I'm still feigning ignorance. That is why he's defenseless against me, and I would have no trouble against him. I will make him suffer!"
"But won't you be in danger if you were exposed?" Ricky protested. "I can help you with your revenge-just get away from him already."
He was genuinely concerned for Lulu's safety since they almost managed to kill her once before, though he was also worried that she and Zachary would rekindle their relationship if they kept spending day and night together.
"No, I'll do this myself," Lulu smiled. "You don't have to worry about me."
"How could I not?!" Ricky cried in earnesty. "Just come with me-ril protect you."
Lulu shook her head anyway. "You might be able to do it, but this is my problem and I want to do it myself."
Ricky had more to say, but Lulu cut him short. "Let's keep in touch. Do you have a number?"
"Can I see you anytime I want?" Ricky asked.
"When it's convenient," Lulu corrected him.
