Chapter 729
Irene quickly pulled herself out of Seth Hedge's arms and pulled Ricky along. "Let's go."
Ricky was still too upset to listen, but Irene warned him before he could refuse, "You'd better behave if you want to know more about Lulu."
Ricky immediately did.
As for Seth, he just happened to come to the same restaurant, and he did not expect to run into Irene here.
He did not dare to approach her, but could not stop himself from helping when he saw that she was about to fall.
"I saved you there, Irene, and you're leaving without so much as thanking me? Do you think that's right?"
The clear voice from behind only left Irene annoyed, while Ricky whispered, "Wasn't he our neighbor? Seth Hedge, right? I thought he went abroad...
When did he come back? Have you met him earlier?"
"No," Irene said coolly.
Ricky was skeptical-why would she hate him so much?
There had to be a reason, but he was not in the mood to probe into Irene's affairs at the moment.
"Just be honest. Where's Lulu? I'll go to her right now."
Irene stopped just then and took the check from her bag, leaving Ricky puzzled. "Why are you giving me money?"
"It's not from me-it's from Lulu.
That left Ricky even more puzzled. "What?"
"Lulu won't forgive Zachary, but she's not choosing you. She left to start over, and I support her decision even though I don't want to see her go. She's just going to end up tied down by the past if she stays, and she won't ever have peace. It's just better for her to leave, and this money will make
up for the trouble she caused you. She wants peace of mind, so just take it!"
"No, I won't!" Ricky shook his head, refusing to accept it. "I don't want compensation... How could she just up and leave?!"
Suddenly, he looked up at Irene with scarlet eyes. "You have to know. You know where she is, don't you?!"
