Chapter 739
Since Ricky was impulsive and easily got into conflicts with others, he was naturally on edge when he saw Zachary.
Irene quickly turned to Zachary. "It's late. You should head straight home."
She barely finished when a blur darted toward them and punched Zachary in the face.
Irene quickly caught Ricky. "What are you doing?! Both of you are hurt!"
On the other hand, Zachary wiped his lips and looked at Ricky askance.
Still, he said. "It's fine... I'll be giving up on Lulu, Ricky. Just do what you will with her-you don't have to be hostile with me now."
Although he did not hit back, Ricky snorted. "You're despicable, Zachary Slate. Playing goody two shoes now after what you did? She wouldn’t have left if you'd let go of her sooner!"
Left? Where to?" Zachary, who was completely in the dark, was naturally surprised by what Ricky said.
After all, Lulu did not have relatives, and her only connection was her best friend, Irene.
He quickly turned toward Irene and asked, "Where did she go, Irene?"
"I don't know," Irene admitted. "When Lulu regained her memory, she told me she wanted to start over and would marry if she finds the right person."
Zachary turned flustered, his tone urgent. "How could you just let her? You could have called me..."
"She made up her mind, Zachary, and I think it's the right choice. Do you really think you still have a chance with her? How is she supposed to stay with your mom? Just let her go!"
Neither Zachary nor Ricky spoke-a curiously similar reaction.
"Anyway, it's time you both left. Don't make a ruckus when my children are sleeping," Irene said, but neither moved.
Ricky then spoke. "Look, she left because of us, and it's clear she's determined because she didn't tell Irene. She's probably never coming back."
"So?" Zachary asked.
"Whoever finds us gets to be with her. The other stays away."
Though Ricky spoke his mind, Zachary stayed silent.
After all, he believed that they must respect Lulu's decision instead of making their own call.
What if she did not like the first person who found her?
