The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 869

Zachary ignored her question. "Is Lulu with you?"

Irene got up and left the dining room. "Just stop it, Zachary—"

"I'm not messing around—I could've done that at the hotel the other day if I wanted to instead of biding my time. And I'm sure you know that Lulu and that man are close, so I can't separate them no matter what I do. What are you so afraid of?"

"Lulu is pregnant," Irene retorted. "I'm afraid you'll hurt her child and affect her life—"

Zachary cut her short right then. "She's there with you, right? I'm driving there now."

Irene frowned. "Zachary—"

Beep, beep, beep…

He already hung up.

Irene quickly dialed her number, but he refused to answer, leaving her utterly frustrated.

After thinking about it, she decided that the only option was to tell Lulu and discuss what they should do.

She texted her: [Zachary is coming.]

Lulu saw the text and peered into the living room for a moment before replying: [It's alright.]

Since Lulu said that, she must have been mentally prepared and perhaps even had a plan.

As such, Irene returned to the dining table with a smile. "Sorry. The research center had some questions."

While she spoke, she slid a peek at Lulu, but Lulu simply put a slice of beef on her plate.

Although Lulu was not nervous or affected about Zachary's impending arrival, she was still worried that Martin would misunderstand.

Throughout dinner, Irene's heart was racing and the food was tasteless although they were supposed to be delicious.

Isaac saw that she was acting weird, and he ladled her a bowl of soup and put it in front of her. "What's on your mind?"

Irene quickly pulled herself together and shook her head. "Nothing."

However, the doorbell rang even as she picked up the bowl.

Mrs. Watson got up to answer it, but Irene quickly stopped her. "I'll go, Mrs. Watson."

She headed to the porch and opened the door, asking softly when she saw Zachary, "What are you doing?"
