The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 968

Martin said, "I'm fine with anything. You order what you like."

Lulu smiled and lowered her gaze. "It seems that I have to pay more attention or I'd still know nothing of your preferences."

"You have all the time in the world you need to learn about me." Martin grinned.

"Yeah," Lulu murmured, pursing her lips.

In fact, she was both hopeful and expectant of the future.

The peaceful life she wanted was right in front of her, and it was both worth remembering and cherished!

As they waited for their food, Lulu rested her chin on her hand and stared at Martin as he sat opposite.

She was staring so intently that a big man like him got embarrassed and averted his gaze.

"You actually can get shy, Martin?" she asked, smiling when Martin said nothing.

Their food soon arrived, but Martin's phone rang while they ate. He picked it up, responded a couple times to what the other end said, and hung up.

Lulu put a shrimp on this plate while asking, "Who was that?"

"I have to stop by the precinct," he said evenly.

Lulu frowned. "Another case? Didn't they agree to give you leave? It's far from over!"

"Don't jump to conclusions. It might not be a case," Martin replied, picking up the shrimp before peeling it and putting it in his mouth.

"Well, this sure is a taxing job either way," Lulu said—they actually had to disturb him while he was on leave!

"You know what my work is like, don't you?" He quietly assured her while putting a chunk of beef on her plate. "I'll do my best to spend time with you and Jean."

"I know," Lulu said. "I'm just annoyed because you haven't fully recovered yet."

She was worried about his health but he simply smiled.

Lulu stared daggers at him in turn. "Your leave might fade into oblivion and you're still smiling?"

"I'm smiling because you care about me, and that gives me joy in my heart. That has nothing to do with work," Martin said, staring her in the eye.

Lulu could not say anything against that and cleared her throat. "Eat."
