The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 866

Zachary did not follow them since he had his pride.

If he still tagged along after everything Lulu said, he would cheapen himself!

So what was he still obsessing about?

Lulu had already started over!

As he stared at Lulu and Martin holding hands, he suddenly hung his head and chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Maybe he had just made himself a joke for them, showing up here?

He strode out of the hotel and drove away.

Since she was happy now, he should not bother her.

He could make amends by offering her his blessing anyway.

…

Irene was meeting Lulu at home.

Mrs. Watson brewed a pot of tea for them, while the rest of the hilltop mansion was quiet—Tommy was still obsessively playing with his Bumblebee walker outside, while Irene's second child was asleep.

"So? How is the case going?" Lulu asked directly.

Irene had yet to ask Isaac for an update, but since he had returned home very late last night, it was probably resolved.

"I think it'll be resolved soon," Irene said, looking at Lulu just then. "Are you in a hurry to get home?"

"No," Lulu replied. "I'd rather wait until your case is resolved, or I'd be worried."

Sheryl Harris then arrived with a plate of sliced fruits, placing it in front of Lulu. "You should eat more fruits while you're pregnant—for your baby's skin."

Lulu looked up at her and smiled. "Okay."

Sheryl then gave her hand a squeeze. "This is good… Getting married, and now having a child."

As Lulu smiled, Sheryl turned to Martin. "Lulu is a good kid, so you have to be good to her. I'll be the first to come after you if you ever bully her—even if she's lost her mother and her father neglected her as a child, she still has us. Irene and I are her family now."

Martin understood right then why Lulu was willing to return and help Irene despite her pregnancy.

They were more than just friends, and Martin was glad that Lulu had someone like Irene in her life.

"Don't worry, ma'am," he said with a grin. "Though you can come knocking on my door and beat me up if I ever hurt her. I won't hit back."
