The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 984

"Yes, she is," Martin said.

He was watching Jean too, and he was certain she would grow up to be like Lulu—a woman of loyalty and sentiment.

Once she was willing to help a person, she would even be willing to put her life on the line.

How could someone like that not be loved?

"Well, I guess you're just luckier than I am." Zachary sighed as he handed Jean back to Martin then, since he could not carry Jean off no matter how much he wanted.

Martin did not deny it.

After some thought, Zachary whipped out a debit card—financial support was about the only thing he could do for her now. "Here. It's for the little one."

Martin did not reject it since it was for Jean and he had no right to decide for her.

He would keep it and give it to her when she was older, telling her that she had the freedom to choose.

Likewise, she had the right to know her real father, as well as the right to choose her life!

Zachary was actually impressed by Martin's composure and generosity, and he decided that he had no qualms about losing.

"You said you were going to buy me a drink?" he asked just then.

If he did not drink a little, he would never douse the fiery envy in him!

With that, Martin carried Jean back upstairs, where Lulu was waiting.

Handing Jean over to Lulu, he said, "I'm sending him off."

Lulu nodded.

Martin took Zachary to a cheap bar, asking, "Is this alright with you?"

After all, he had always been an average Joe and lived as such, never visiting any expensive joints.

Zachary shot him a look. "What's wrong with this? You know I'm jealous of you."

Martin smiled, looking blissful but saying, "What's there to be jealous about?"

"Showing off, are you?" Zachary snorted, and handed him a shot glass. "This is your punishment."
