The Runaway Groom Chapter 1127
Lulu was the only one in the house, and no one else would do it if not her."I'm fine. It's not that tiring," she assured Zachary.Zachary scowled. "Sue will need another week to return. I'll have Vivian come by to help then." Vivian Crowe?Lulu was upset, but she could not say anything since Zachary had already made up his mind. "If that's what you have in mind, Mr. Slate."-After playing with Star for a while, Zachary began to pack up for the long stay at Goldpool.When he arrived downstairs, he found Lulu making vegetable juice for Star. The baby was nearby, sitting on her highchair and sucking on her thumb as her big eyes darted between them. As he walked up to Lulu, he asked, "Is there anything I can help with?" "You can help me wash those vegetables, Mr. Slate," Lulu replied, since the man was free anyway.It was the last night he will be seeing Star in a while, and the baby would definitely miss him for the month…"Okay," Zachary said, rolling up his sleeves to

Zachary did not expect to finish it either.He sighed after hearing Lulu speak at length about Star's diet, seeing how meticulous she was about it.Lulu then put a straw in the glass of apple and carrot juice and passed it to Zachary. "I'll do it, Mr. Slate. You'd be leaving soon—you should spend more time with Star for now and play with her."Zachary actually forgot to take off his apron and took the glass to Star."Hey, Star. Let's have a drink, okay?""Ba!" Star babbled, holding out her little arms to be carried since she had been sitting for too long."Okay, good girl…" Zachary picked her up affectionately, holding her even more easily than Lulu did while showering her little cheeks with kisses.While he fed Star, Lulu had made another glass of juice for later.Still, she spaced out a little as she watched Zachary doting on Star—it was the right choice, putting her in his custody."Wendy!" Zachary suddenly cried.Brought to her senses, Lulu hurried to Zachary. "What's wro

Lulu lowered her head, brushing against Zachary when she entered, while her handbag caught a corner of the towel.While Zachary was left speechless, Lulu turned and saw."I, uh…" Zachary quickly wrapped the towel around himself again as he explained, "Your handbag caught my towel. So…"Lulu ran off frantically, grabbed her phone before running out of Zachary's mansion without opening her eyes.In Zachary's perspective, she was fleeing. "It's not like I'm naked…" he muttered, although he was blushing up to his ear.-On the other hand, Lulu kept running for a long while before stopping. "Oh, I slipped up… Well, at least he won't be there tomorrow."It was no big deal, but she just found the situation and the vibes strange.As she calmed down, she wondered if she had overreacted.She was a babysitter, and he was her employer…She turned on her laptop and saw an email invitation to a Franconian nutritional association forum to exchange childcare experiences.She always read

"Trouble at work," Lulu replied and stood aside. "Come in."Suddenly, she hesitated. "If I let you in…""Easy. Just say I barged in," Irene joked.Lulu nodded. "The air outside is good. Wait here."Lulu hurried to Star's room, putting her down to make sure she did not dirty her diaper, and was comfortable with it.Everything was fine, so she held Star in her arms and gently walked her.Star's slowly stopped bawling and after calming her down, Lulu smiled at Irene. "Let's talk out in the garden."Star seemed exhausted after crying and leaned against Lulu's shoulder as she carried Star to the garden.Irene smiled even as she stared at Star's little cheeks, which were just fleshing out.She loved daughters but regrettably had none."Let me carry her," she said."Didn't you just touch down? You should rest," Lulu said, having a hunch that Irene was already in flight when she texted her."I'm fine," Irene said.Isaac left to take a call, leaving smoothly to let the ladies spend

If Zachary was distracted by Vivian, he probably would not have time to manage Lulu."It's time, Irene," Isaac suddenly said.Irene rose to her feet too. "We're going now, Lulu."Lulu got up too. "I didn't even bring you a drink…""No, you keep both arms on your daughter." Irene smiled. "So, do you think we can have our tots betrothed to each other?"Lulu shot her a look. "Your son's still a boy, and you're looking for a daughter-in-law already? You really do want to get old quicker, huh?" Irene sighed. "I'm jobless. What else can I think about other than some random stuff?"Lulu could actually tell that Irene was a little less energetic since she had not been working.People usually could not see what women did for their families.It was not the middle ages, where only women with careers would be more vibrant.Still, she and Irene had lost their past selves and now lived for their children.-Lulu checked her phone at around 4 PM—Zachary had not called, and it was probabl

Lulu made an awkward look—she had just moved all her belongings in there, and she did not have time to clean up again since she had to take care of Star.Still, she saw Vivian's enthusiastic glare and finally noticed that her room was closest to Zachary's.However, Lulu only picked it because it was close to Star's room, so she could take better care of Star."Can I stick to this room?""No way—I like this room. What, are you fighting with me over this?"How dare a babysitter refuse her!Vivian dragged her luggage case back to the living room to complain!"Mr. Slate, I want Ms. Jones' room. It's close to the living room so I can clean up better," she cried miserably, playing up her vulnerable maiden act.Lulu stood behind her, exasperated—men would always go along with women when they did that.Youth and beauty were their greatest weapon.She could not lecture Vivian either—she was just resorting to cheap moves to get what she wanted.Lulu just did not care about those thing

In the end, Lulu did not read Zachary's document.Around 10 PM, she received a text from Irene, saying that they went home."Talk about coming and going in a rush." She smiled.She replied: [Safe travels.]They did not even have dinner together this time, but they had all the time in the world.-Lulu passed the document to the chauffeur early next morning, and it was soon 10 AM after she worked around the house.It was only then that Vivian stepped out of her room, yawning."Is there anything to eat?" She was hungry after sleeping the entire morning."Ms. Vivian, I'm just a care worker, not a chef—I have to take care of Star," Lulu told her.Sue was in charge of cooking, and in her absence, Lulu could only manage to cook for Star and herself. And after she had eaten, she still would not have time to cook for Vivian."Fine! I'll cook for myself!" Vivian snorted, not about to be outdone by some babysitter. "Help yourself in the kitchen. I'm going out with Star," Lulu said

Vivian and Lulu turned at the same time to find a man entering, skateboard in hand.Who else could it be other than Ken Dawson?"M-Mr. Dawson…" Vivian hung her head, surprised that Ken would catch her like this.Mr. Dawson?Lulu was left studying Ken in turn, as Vivian knew him and addressed him so politely.That meant he must be working in the same office and command more than enough respect from even Vivian.Still, why would he show up here?Ken, however, had his eyes fixed on Vivian, as if he never saw Lulu."Are you on a mission to blow up Mr. Slate's mansion while he's away?" he asked, clicking his tongue. "After what you did to his house, I wonder if he's going to chase you away first, or demand that you compensate him."Lulu turned away at the same time. Since those two were acquainted, and the man did not appear hostile, she had no reason to get involved.However, it turned out that Ken was curious about her—before she could head inside the mansion, he said, "You have

The Runaway Groom Chapter 1265
Soon after the wedding, Mr. Fowler proposed for Stan to work at his company to get used to the work over there.He was worried as he did not have much time left, and it would not do if he was gone before the proper arrangements were made.Still, Stan returned to Franconia with Isaac and his family, sorting out things at work and finishing every task he had on hand.While Isaac used to have a lot of free time with Stan around, he was just slightly busier after Stan left. After all, no company should operate in a way that losing a single person would stall all their operations.And after a week, Stan sorted out all the remaining tasks he had in Franconia and returned to Zidonia to start work at the Fowlers' family business.While Stan had property in Zidonia too, he moved into the Fowlers' mansion, but not as a live-in son-in-law. He was simply aware of Mr. Fowler's illness, and Rea wanted to spend more time with her parents.And as the son-in-law, he was obliged to do that much.
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1264
Despite feeling wistful, Mr. Fowler eventually passed Rea's hand to Stan. "I hope you will both cherish each other from now on."Rea told him, "We will."Thereafter, it was the usual proceedings of a wedding, with exchange of rings and vows, the wedding speech, and the luncheon!Though everything went smoothly, Mrs. Fowler could not help shedding tears.She was pleased that her daughter was finally getting married, especially since she was looking forward to this.But now that Rea really did marry, she was worried that her life might get difficult and unhappy.Such was the worrisome nature of mothers.-Later, Stan led Rea to Isaac's table.They were all acquainted, but Stan introduced everyone once again to reacquaint them with Rea.After all, she was no longer Zachary's friend's cousin now, but Stan's wife.Erin was grinning from ear to ear. "Congratulations.""Thank you." Rea smiled in return."Congrats," Baby said, imitating the adults.Rea reached out to stroke his c

Zachary said, "I heard you sealed the deal with Rea Fowler, and her family is preparing for your wedding."Stan smiled. "I'm the look of success—getting a girl couldn't be simpler. See? I'm getting married already.""Well, I guess we're all taken now," Erin said.Tommy poked his head up just then. "Congratulations, Uncle Stan.""Thank you." Stan chuckled, patting his head."Also, I heard that you're marrying into the Fowler family?" Zachary asked.Everyone turned to stare at Stan in shock, but it was understandable.Stan was not that modest that he would have to go that far—he had money and was successful enough to afford a wife.Still, Zachary—who knew the Fowlers—suggested, "To be fair, they do need someone to take care of the family business…"-Either way, it meant that Irene's family would be delaying their return trip to Franconia.After all, none of them had expected to attend Stan's wedding so soon after Zachary's.Stan himself did not expect that either, as he had
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1262
"What's the problem? We've already slept together," Rea said as she put her clothes on.She frowned as Stan was still on the bed and not moving. "What, are you going to stay in my bed forever?""What am I supposed to wear?" Stan shrugged. "You haven't brought my clothes here.""I'll get it for you."Rea remembered his suitcase then and hurried downstairs to bring it up."Wear whatever you like. I'll be waiting downstairs," she said and hurried away.Stan got out of bed and put on a suit—it was only right to dress formally when it came to discussing marriage.After cleaning up and heading downstairs, he found Rea sandwiched by her parents.Stan had no idea if she had already mentioned it, but both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler were both staring at him, leaving him further tense.Clearing his throat, Stan began, "Excuse me, but—""Yes, we agree to you marrying our daughter.""You mean marrying into our family," Rea corrected them.Everyone else was staring at her before asking all at o
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1261
If Rea asked her parents now, they would only get sad, and life would become difficult for everyoneWhat should she do to make them happy?Right, she could get married! Her parents would definitely be pleased. As for the choice of bridegroom, did she not have one readily available here?If Stan could pretend to be her boyfriend, he could definitely be her husband too.They could fake their marriage if they had to!Putting the medical file back where she found it, she wobbled up to her feet and left the room.Stan had yet to step out of the bathroom when she returned, so she sat on the bed and waited.After a while, Stan stepped out with a towel around his waist and paused when he saw Rea sitting there. "Where are my clothes?" He asked, presuming that Rea had forgotten since there was nothing on the bed or the table. "My suitcase is still in your car trunk."Rea turned toward him. "Let's get married."Stan was left speechless for a moment and soon chuckled, "Did you forge
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1260
Mrs. Fowler smacked her daughter, but while Rea thought she was angry, she said instead, "Just do your best."Rea's mind was blown—were her parents bewitched? They were completely different from before! A long time ago, her parents had used to tell her that she did not have to marry as long as she was happy.But later on, they had persistently sent her on blind dates… and now, they were telling her to seduce a man?Touching her mother's forehead, Rea asked, "Are you sick?"Mrs. Fowler slapped her hand off. "Your dad and I are leaving now.""Yeah." Mr. Fowler nodded. "The chauffeur is waiting."Rea walked them to the door and watched as their car left before returning inside.She did not go upstairs since Stan was asleep, and she would be bored—she was the type who just could not sit still.However, it was inappropriate if she left since that would leave nobody home.In her boredom, she thought of pranking Stan. She headed upstairs to find him asleep, and soundly at that.Ca
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1259
Unable to argue against her parents, Rea said, "Fine, fine. Whatever you say."Mrs. Fowler smiled. "Then help Stan upstairs to get some rest.""Which room?" Rea asked.Mrs. Fowler realized with a start and quickly said, "Oh, there's no bedding in the guest room… So let him stay in your room."Rea was left staring at her in shock. "When did you get so open-minded? Letting a man stay in your daughter's room?"Mrs. Fowler shrugged. "What can he do when he's drunk?""Haven't you heard of drunken fumbles?" Rea asked.Both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler shook their heads at the same time. "Nope."Rea was left totally speechless—this was just outrageous!She would think that Stan was actually their son, if it was not for the fact that they were not acquainted before.They were not like this before either—even if they were urging her to get married, they were not throwing her at a man like this!Mr. Fowler then said, "If anything happens, we'll demand that he takes responsibility and marries y
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1258
"I get it," Stan replied quietly. "I wouldn't have been upset even if you didn't explain yourself. But since you did, I forgive you."Rea's brow creased as she pursed her lips. "See? I knew it. We really shouldn't be too nice to you."While Stan was speechless, Mrs. Fowler was enthusiastically putting food on Stan's plate. "This is our family's favorite dish. Try it."Stan nodded after a bite. "It's good."Mrs. Fowler smiled, while Mr. Fowler poured him a glass of wine. "Can you hold your liquor?"Stan smiled. "More or less.""You're being humble now." Mr. Fowler smiled at him. "You're definitely a good drinker.""A little."Rea had enough right then. "Dad, Stan has work to do, and he has to return to Franconia tomorrow. You're going to make things difficult for him."Mr. Fowler smiled awkwardly. "Right…" "You think?" Rea huffed, snatching his wine away. "Everyone only gets to have one glass."Mr. Fowler glared at Rea. "Party pooper."Rea shrugged. "I'm doing this for your

Rea turned her head aside. "Then what's your hobby?"Stan did a double take and remembered his life… which was work and more work.It had been years since he took leave, and he would not get to goof off the last few days if it had not been for Zachary's wedding.Hobby? He certainly did not have anything like that.Now that he thought about it, his life was boring and monotonous, and he did not have anyone very close.That was why he wanted a kind, understanding wife to care and offer him company while he took care of her needs.When he looked up at Rea, he clearly felt that she was not for him—he needed someone to take care of him, but with her, he would be busy taking care of her instead."You're looking at me weirdly," Rea suddenly said."How so?" Stan asked.Rea moved closer, looking him in the eyes and asking solemnly, "Don't tell me—you've fallen for me?""You don't just suffer from a flawed personality—you're narcissistic too."Stan pursed his lips and checked the tim
