Chapter 740
"It's me," Isaac whispered softly into Irene’s ear.
She turned and smacked him on the chest in annoyance. "You scared me."
Isaac held her hands down. "I'll be more careful next time."
Irene took a moment to calm down then-her heart had almost leapt out of her throat just now, as she thought someone had broken in.
Still, she became worried anyway. "I wonder how Lulu's doing. Where would she go? She's all by herself..."
Isaac frowned slightly and asked, "Aren't you tired?"
Irene flexed her neck in response-it had certainly been a long day, and it was very late.
"Yeah," she replied with a yawn.
"So why bother?"
Irene realized then that he was not concerned, but complaining that she was being a busybody instead.
'They're family," she grumbled. "I can't do nothing-"
"Yeah, now go to bed." Isaac wrapped his arms around her then.
She sighed. "I haven’t bathed..."
"It's fine to skip for a day. Go to bed."
Irene fell in bed and closed her eyes as she spoke. "Fine. I'll do it tomorrow
If
She was so drowsy that she fell asleep soon enough, and Isaac tucked her under the blanket, before putting a hand around her to sleep as well.
She shifted to make herself comfortable and slept soundly.
Zachary left looking for Lulu soon after learning that she left, and he searched every place where she might be.
However, she was nowhere to be found, and she left no clues or anything as she upped and left.
He strode alone on a street aimlessly, remembering the time he kept her with him while she lost her memory.
Even if she had been vengeful, he had the solace of keeping an eye on her.
"No." Mrs. Slate immediately protested. "Stay here with her, so that I can at least keep an eye on her to stop her from hurting you again-"
"She's gone, so don't worry. She's never coming back."
With that, he left.
Mrs. Slate did a double take, but a smile soon crept over her lips.
Lulu was never coming back.
Still, she had her people look into it just to confirm what Zachary said.
On the other hand, Zachary paused when he arrived upstairs and turned to look at the room Lulu used to stay in.
Still, he soon turned away and returned to his room.
Irene arrived at work punctually.
As she mustered her spirit to walk the stairs to the entrance, someone caught her by her jacket and pulled her firmly to a quiet hallway!
Stunned, she exclaimed, "Who is it?!"
