The Runaway Groom Chapter 1173
The woman Zachary brought had permed hair and wore a black miniskirt that bared her fair, slender legs.She was an ordinarily attractive hooker, and Lulu turned away with just one look.That was when Zachary asked, "How many men have you been with? I'll sleep with as many women, and then we're square."Lulu turned toward him in shock. "Are you crazy?""I just want us to be equal." Zachary shrugged. "You think we're not, don't you?"Lulu's lips twitched, but she could not say a thing.She did think that, but it was against her will—how could she do this?"I won't change my mind whatever you do," she said, turning away. "Do whatever you like."Zachary stared at her for several beats. "Fine."He took the woman to his room.Seeing that he was serious, Lulu ultimately gave in. "What's the point of being mean to yourself?""What are you talking about? She's smoking hot," Zachary retorted with a twinkle in his eye. "And she's just the first of many. I'd even have a new girl every d
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1174
The stalemate lasted for an hour—Lulu never left the room.Zachary then paid the woman to leave.It was an easy day for her, not having to spread her legs or abide with men who had strange fetishes.Smiling as she took the money, she said, "You can come to me again if you have another job like this."Zachary stayed silent, so she tactfully left with her money.Having worked the streets, she had met and dealt with many rich people, but she also knew her place!In the end, she understood that the rich would never be really interested aside from a fumble, and she had no Cinderella dreams.After all, Cinderella was a maiden while she had nothing, and society was very pragmatic that way.All she would dream of was to save money and marry a down-to-earth man.-Knock, knock…Lulu had no idea why she was crying, just as she had no idea her cheeks were wet.Knock, knock…She finally answered the door.Zachary saw her tear-drenched face but saw her cold look before he could reach

Lulu flinched by instinct even as she felt the coolness over her chest, but she could not hope to win against a man's brute strength.As Zachary pinned her down, she struggled at first and eventually gave up, staring numbly at the ceiling while Zachary did whatever he wanted.If she closed her eyes, she would remember those moments…Terrified, she clenched her jaw, almost clawing through the sheets unwittingly.She told herself to stay calm, that the man was her baby's father and a man she once loved deeply—not those scum!Zachary in turn did his best, stopping in gradual disappointment.Whatever he did, she refused to respond to him at all."Do you feel nothing for me?"Lulu turned to him. "Don't you think I'm dirty?""I don't," Zachary replied.Lulu pursed her lips sardonically. "You really never had women, have you? You're an insult to other men, getting interested in broken goods like me."Zachary pursed his lips too.He could still taste her on his lips—it was a sweetn

Lulu continued, "I was kissed as many times as I was bitten—every scar is a reminder of what happened, and I can't forget. It's a nightmare that would haunt me for the rest of my life, so do you want that pain too? You'll see all the scars on me that would remind you of what happened to me. Do you really not mind that at all? Doesn't it make you think? Stop lying to yourself, Zachary… You're only human."Zachary's eyes were red, and he gulped as he asked, "Did I look like I hate it?"Lulu paused before retorting, "You're just overcome by lust.""If that's what you think, so be it." Zachary shrugged, holding her chin. "I lust for you, and I want you—is that not enough? If you don't want a relationship, so be it. Lust it is."Lulu closed her eyes. "Fine. Just bring Star back here."She had already made herself very clear, and she could not do anything if he still refused to give up. Perhaps he would get bored of her in time and come to understand his own heart.She turned and pic

"That still doesn't mean she can do it," Zachary retorted even as he tickled Star. "Mommy will go bald if you keep pulling her hair, and you won't get to see her pretty side when you get older."Lulu said nothing and headed to the kitchen just to avoid any intimacy with Zachary."You don't have to cook," he said. "Let's eat out.""Yeah," Lulu replied, keeping her back to him.Though she had been distant when she returned, Zachary was not pushy—he was sure that Lulu would understand in time, and would feel again.Walking up to Lulu, he passed Star back to her. "Carry her. I'll drive."Even as Lulu took Star, she avoided skinship with Zachary.She then packed diapers and milk from the nursery—it was necessary to bring truckloads of necessities while going outside with a baby.In fact, she had a full backpack while holding Star in her arms as she stepped out to the car and took the backseat deliberately.Zachary glanced at her from the rearview mirror but said nothing as he drove

Meanwhile, it turned out that Zachary had made a reservation at a luxury restaurant.The environment was good and the food was incredible.However, Zachary did not think he could change Lulu's heart just from that alone. It was only with time that everything, including her mindset, would change.While it was a good plan, Star was not playing along and started bawling as soon as the first course was served.She was simply inconsolable, whether it was Zachary or Lulu holding her.Having no choice, Zachary carried her outside. "You eat. I'll take care of her."However, Lulu could hear Star crying outside too and lost her appetite.She headed outside as well and told Zachary, "Take her home. I think Star isn't used to being outside."Zachary shook his head. "It's alright. You eat—I'll stay with her here."That did not assure Lulu at all. "I'm not feeling an appetite. Let's just go."Zachary wanted to say more, but gave in seeing that Lulu was determined. "Alright."Lulu held out

Lulu picked up her fork and started to eat without quite tasting it.Seeing that she was only eating noodles, Zachary slid an egg into her bowl. "Take it. You didn't even put salt in the noodles."Lulu kept her eyes lowered, unable to eat—even deep breaths did not calm her heart, as all her senses and her thoughts were a mess.Soon, she put down her fork and got up. "I'm not hungry. You eat."Zachary frowned. "Do I make you uncomfortable?""No." Lulu quickly shook her head."If I'm not the problem, then why can't you eat?" Zachary pressed. "Or do I make you so sick you can't eat at the sight of me?""You know I don't mean that." Lulu looked at him in shock, seemingly stunned by his words.Zachary then kept eating. "If that's not the case, sit down and eat"Lulu pursed her lips in silence and sat down after a while, rasping, "Why do you have to keep making things hard for me?"Zachary said nothing, and slowly finished his noodles, drinking the broth as well. He eventually put
