The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 848

Lulu's smile was forced as she quietly replied, "Yeah."

Irene sharply noticed the change in Lulu's expression.

Still, she blinked a couple times but said nothing.

If Lulu was keeping quiet, it meant she did not want to tell Irene.

As such, Irene simply smiled as if she never noticed. "When you stay with us—"

Lulu cut her short before she could finish, "We're staying at a hotel, since there are many people in your home and you'd be inconvenienced. I'll help you out, and I'll be ready to leave once I'm done."

Lulu was right—Irene did not expect her to bring her husband.

Considering that, staying at her home might not be appropriate.

"I'll book a hotel room for you then," Irene said as she whipped out her phone.

Lulu did not stop her this time. "Thank you very much. It's your fault for being rich."

Irene gave her a playful nudge. "Don't tease me."

Once she booked a room and hung up, Lulu asked, "So? What's this favor you need?"

"Look, I didn't know you were pregnant—I wouldn't have called you otherwise," Irene said, looking pointedly at her belly. "I think I'll ask Isaac to arrange for someone else to do it since I don't want to trouble you."

Lulu frowned. "When did you get so cagey?"

"I'm not," Irene replied before touching Lulu's belly again. "I'm just being considerate of the baby."

Lulu had a hunch right then. "So, a post-mortem? Who's the deceased?"

Martin turned around at the mention of a post mortem, clearly worried that she had to touch a corpse while pregnant!

Lulu shot him a glare. "What are you getting worried about? I know what I'm doing."

Martin cleared his throat awkwardly. "Just don't push yourself."

Irene saw their exchange and could not help smiling—they obviously had feelings for each other.

Still, she explained to Martin, "I didn't know that she's pregnant. I definitely wouldn't have asked her to do it otherwise."
