Chapter 693
Lulu flung her wrist, shaking Zachary's hand off, only for Zachary to catch her again, even going further as to wrap his hand firmly around her waist.
’I know you hate me, Lulu, and I know I was wrong-but our love was true. Why do you refuse to give me a chance?"
'Why should I, after you hurt me?" Lulu asked in return.
Zachary did not deny it. "Nobody's perfect. Is there anyone who does no wrong? I admit I was at fault, and I'm willing to change. Isn't that enough?'
Lulu pursed her lips. "What did I ever see in you?"
She was puzzled-was she an idiot in the past to fall for him?
Zachary remained obstinate. "I'm not letting you go whatever you say."
Lulu was incensed. "You're unreasonable!”
"Say whatever you want!"
Zachary did not care!
That was when Mrs. Slate returned from the hospital and she frowned when she saw the commotion in the living room. "What are you doing?"
An idea immediately came to Lulu's mind when she saw Mrs. Slate and she turned toward Isaac. "You want me to stay? Fine! I want the one who tried to kill me punished! A life for a life!"
Zachary froze, while Mrs. Slate's face turned pale.
Lulu's words could not have been clearer, and she continued, ’Just look at you-you want me to stay, but you can't even avenge me? What would I want a man who can't protect me for? Some tabletop trinket for decoration?"
Lulu deliberately said all that just to make Zachary let go, because she knew that Mrs. Slate tried to have her killed.
Naturally he was left speechless-he could not send his own mother to prison, could he?
Lulu simply pushed him away and gave him a look of disdain before striding outside.
Zachary was left frozen in place, stuck between a rock and a hard place.
One was his mother, while the other was the woman he loved-how could he even decide?
At that very moment, Mrs. Slate finally understood the gravity of her mistake.
