The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 900

Caught by surprise, Martin did a double take.

Still, he soon became serious. "How do you know about Ricky Spencer? Anyway, we've already gathered solid evidence on that case. You know how serious it is too, since he's a murder suspect. You really shouldn't lose sleep over a person like him even if you were close. He's not worth it!"

Lulu stared at Martin seriously in return. "He's Irene's stepbrother. I've always thought of him as my younger brother too."

Martin actually frowned at that and sat down.

That was a real shock, but the law had no place for sentiment.

Anyone who committed a crime must bear the consequences, just like how adults should take responsibility for all their actions.

Even so, Martin tried to assure Lulu. "Maybe there's a mistake. Don't worry about—just focus on the baby."

Lulu understood that he wanted to calm her down, and she held his hand, squeezing it. "Try to think of something."

Martin grinned. "Alright, alright. Just don't worry too much about it and be happy. Anyway, are you craving anything? I'll get it for you… Sweet and sour ribs, maybe?"

Lulu actually liked that dish, but she shook her head since she was in no mood.

She sighed. "Can you promise me? To help him?"

She was undoubtedly making things hard for a straightlaced, righteous man like Martin, who would never bend the law for personal reasons.

Lulu knew that, and that she was not supposed to make Martin forsake his own duty.

He would be punished if it was a minor bending of the rules, but dismissed if it was serious, so she did not want him to take the risk.

"I'll prepare a hot bath for you."

As Lulu got up, however, Martin caught her wrist.

"I'll do it myself. You shouldn't move around while you're pregnant,"

"It's fine," she said, making him sit. "You've been on your feet all day."

There was no way Martin would make her prepare a bath when she was pregnant.

"I can do it myself. You should go to sleep for now," Martin said as he helped her to their bedroom.
