The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78

“Lulu,” Irene greeted the other woman and gave her a hug. “Sorry for imposing this time.”

One of the reasons Irene had decided to come to Sunny City was because Lulu Adams was here, with the other being an artist‘s studio located here, which she had found online-she was interested in taking over.

After Lionel pushed her to learn so much, she developed an interest in painting aside from medicine.

She was more or less coming to an agreement with the seller online, and she would be going there to finalize everything after her meeting with Lulu.

“You‘re never imposing,” Lulu said politely, patting her on the back. “I just showed your mom around when she arrived.”

Then, her tone shifted and she asked, “Why are you suddenly moving here? Your family seemed rooted in Cloud City before.”

Irene smiled bitterly. “It‘s a long story.”

“Well, anything on the menu catching your eye? Order away–it‘s my treat.”

Lulu did not press Irene for details and even changed the subject–everyone had their own burdens. Indeed, Irene would have a good reason why she was not saying anything.

They were close friends despite their two–year age gap, and Irene had never once told Zachary about her even though they never lost contact after Lulu left Cloud City.

In Irene‘s mind, Lulu had her own reason for leaving back then.

“How is life here treating you, Lulu?” Irene asked then. “You‘re getting skinnier again.”

Lulu smiled. “Just busy with work. You know the nature of my job.”

Irene was naturally impressed with Lulu‘s job, as well as her efficiency.

Even after they were done eating, Lulu never mentioned Zachary as if he had never been involved in her life.

“Just come to me if you need anything,” she said.

Irene nodded. “Thank you, Lulu.”

Suddenly, Lulu‘s phone rang–it was a call from her precinct.

Standing up, she said, “I have to go now.”

“Another case?” Irene asked.
