Sheryl smiled as Irene pointed at the expensive-looking boxes piling in the living room. "Open them and you'll find out."Irene came to a realization then. "You called me home for these?"Sheryl nodded and Irene started to open the boxes. Even as Sheryl stood nearby, her joy could hardly be disguised. "Many people came in earlier and moved all these boxes in here. I wanted to get you, but you weren't there… Honestly, just look at yourself. How many days has it only been since your surgery? You're going to be a bride, so you really should consider what you want before you do it. Do you think it's good to run around in the middle of night while your face is still covered in bandages?"Irene smiled. "Yeah, I won't do it again."At the same time, she opened a box to find a pair of diamond-encrusted heels. As she raised her brow, Sheryl said, "Those would be your wedding shoes."Irene opened another box to find a tailored gown.There were over a hundred other boxes, all of them

However, Zachary cut his mother short before she could finish.A little frustrated just then, he snapped, "How could you say that, Mom? Don't you remember what you did to her? I didn't hold that against you and I wouldn't have managed to keep her if she didn't lose her memory. And yet you still suspect her after everything that's happened?"Mrs. Slate held her son's gaze. "I didn't want to suspect her, but it's just too much of a coincidence.""The investigation made everything very clear—the fire was just an accident from faulty wiring. How could you blame that on her?"Zachary was naturally unhappy. He felt like he owed Lulu, and he was single-minded about making amends. How was he a man if he still suspected her now?Outside the ward, Lulu turned to leave after hearing that, her expression impassive.But she was certainly not getting soft just because of what Zachary said.Within, Mrs. Slate knew that Zachary would not believe her without evidence, and she hence said, "Just

Zachary was wary about Ricky because he and Lulu were close before she lost her memory.He had no idea if she had fallen for him, but everyone could see that he was interested in her.He pulled Lulu to his side while glaring at Ricky hostilely. "What are you doing here?"Ricky simply ignored him. "I'm not here to see you."Zachary narrowed his eyes with dripping enmity. "I'm warning you—don't you bother Lulu again.""Hah!" Ricky snorted. "And you aren't deceiving her because she lost her memory? I'm going to tell her everything you did to her before—""You're crazy," Zachary snapped, and he quickly took Lulu to his car while telling her, "Don't believe his crap."Lulu stayed silent as she turned around to Ricky.Ricky was naturally too impulsive to just watch as Zachary took her away. However, as he strode forward to argue with Zachary, Lulu stopped him with a look.He was left stumped and he murmured, "Lulu…""Don't come looking for me ever again," Lulu told him and left him

Lulu bit her lip. "Stop it…"Before she could finish, Zachary's lips were already on hers.He was holding her very tightly. Despite Lulu's disgust, she could not refuse for appearance's sake, so she pretended to be embarrassed. "Don't…"Zachary brushed against her cheek. "We're lovers. Kissing is fine."Lulu said, "But I forgot about that.""You'd remember if I kissed you more.""You're such a scoundrel." She pretended to pout and slipped out of his arms.Zachary naturally knew that he should not be impatient, and he simply bore with it. "Why? It's normal for lovers, and I will take responsibility for you—just say the word, and I will marry you right away."Lulu did not want to talk about that, so she quickly changed the subject. "When would you finish work? It's so boring staying here.""I'll be done soon," Zachary said."Hurry," she urged."Yeah."Still, he was only done when the skies were dark and it was almost time for dinner.Zachary looked for a restaurant that offe

Ricky quickly ran up to Lulu the instant he saw her, hugging her without a care. "You remember me, right? You wouldn't have given me that look earlier otherwise… I thought I was imagining it, but you came. I was right!" "Actually, I don't," Lulu said.It certainly dampened Ricky's enthusiasm, but he did not seem to buy it. "You can forget everyone, but not me!"He was holding Lulu's shoulders, looking straight into her eyes!Lulu did not flinch, however, and she met his gaze. "Well, I don't remember you, but I understand that you've been good to me and always told me the truth. I've seen your rage toward Zachary Slate and how excited you were to see me, and I know that you're a good person."Ricky's eyes welled with tears from excitement."I'm not just a good person—I'm the one who loves you, and wants to protect you," he said, taking her hand. "You have to come with me."Nonetheless, Lulu shook her head. "I can't."Ricky lost his composure right then. "Why? Are you really wit

Issac had quickly finished work abroad and rushed back, but he had never expected to be greeted by this scene.Winding up the window, he kept his voice in control as he said, "Drive."The chauffeur quickly drove off.Still, Tommy leapt happily into Isaac's arms once he reached home. "Papa."Scooping Tommy up in his arms, he asked, "Do you miss me?"Tommy nodded. "Yes.""Which part of you miss me?" "Here," Tommy said, patting his chest and giving him a peck on the cheek, leaving his face wet and stinky. Isaac frowned. "What did you eat tonight?"Tommy tilted his head in thought. "Soup and food."Isaac almost laughed. What would he be eating if not food?"Anything else?"Tommy racked his head. "Oh. I also ate poop. It was very sweet."Isaac was speechless.He ate… poop?!Still, Mrs. Watson heard that, and quickly explained, "It's a chocolate croissant."Isaac smacked Tommy's little rump. "You almost scared me there."Tommy giggled and wrapped his little arms around his

Isaac lowered his eyes, leveling a penetrating gaze into hers.Irene smiled. "What? What's that look for?"She stood on the balls of her feet, wrapping her hands around his neck, and kissed him.The touch left him stiffening and flinching.She gently pulled away and murmured, "Are you upset?"Before he could answer, however, she said, "About the diary…"Isaac's eyes narrowed subtly, as if he did not expect her to mention it on her own.At the same time, Irene kept her arms around his neck, and brushed her chin against his chest since he was that tall. "I must've been fourteen when I wrote it, but I was too young and stupid to understand love, and at the phase when I'm curious about the opposite sex. I don't remember Seth after I left that phase.""Really?" Isaac was skeptical."Yes. You were acting weird, and I somehow thought the diary was the reason, so I took a look. That's why I know what upset you—anyway, I threw it away already since it doesn't even have any sentimental

The man in the lead said, "We're from a security company. Mr. Jefferson asked us to make a delivery.""Oh, come in…" Mrs. Watson muttered.She was actually intimidated by their appearance and was relieved when she actually realized that they were not actually thugs. As Irene looked up, the men opened one of the suitcases on the coffee table. "Ms. Spencer, yes? Please confirm you have received these items.""What are they?" she asked."Feel free to take a look." The men spun the suitcases to her end, and Irene was left raising her brow when she was what was inside.She did not know her jewelry, but she could tell that the set lying in the suitcase there was worth a fortune.The man introduced, "It's an antique, and once belonged to the royal household of Yvesia. Mr. Jefferson acquired this set of jewelry in a Minervan auction for 3.8 million dollars. He entrusted it to our company to bring it safely here to Zidonia."Irene had no idea what all of that meant, but the price tag

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

"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

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
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1257
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
