The Runaway Groom Chapter 865
Lulu promptly wheeled on the stewards who brought the breakfast cart and snapped, "We don't need this. Take it away!"Martin turned toward her just then.What happened? She usually would never get upset this easily… Still, he did not question her. Instead, he told the stewards, "You can take these away. We've actually been having breakfast here for a while…""Actually, sir, this isn't from our hotel," one of the stewards said awkwardly. "A gentleman had us deliver it."Martin promptly understood why Lulu got upset. The man they met at the lobby must have sent these. "Alright, just leave it here. You may go now," he said.Lulu stared at him in confusion. "Why? Don't you know who sent these?""I do," Martin replied.Lulu was even more confused. "If you do, then…"Martin did not explain, but instead closed the door after sending the stewards away. Then, he walked up to Lulu, and helped her sit down on the couch. "Would you change anything if you throw these away?" Martin

Zachary did not follow them since he had his pride. If he still tagged along after everything Lulu said, he would cheapen himself! So what was he still obsessing about?Lulu had already started over! As he stared at Lulu and Martin holding hands, he suddenly hung his head and chuckled self-deprecatingly. Maybe he had just made himself a joke for them, showing up here?He strode out of the hotel and drove away.Since she was happy now, he should not bother her.He could make amends by offering her his blessing anyway.…Irene was meeting Lulu at home.Mrs. Watson brewed a pot of tea for them, while the rest of the hilltop mansion was quiet—Tommy was still obsessively playing with his Bumblebee walker outside, while Irene's second child was asleep. "So? How is the case going?" Lulu asked directly. Irene had yet to ask Isaac for an update, but since he had returned home very late last night, it was probably resolved."I think it'll be resolved soon," Irene said, lookin

Despite her surprise, Irene quickly pulled Erin Gooding into the mansion."When did you come back?" she asked."Just got off the plane," Erin said, looking inside the mansion. "You have guests?"Irene pulled her along and made the introductions. "This is Lulu, my best friend, and this is Martin. He's a cop."Erin nodded at them. "Hello."Lulu smiled in return, but noticed that Erin was a lot more quiet than before. She certainly was less adorably energetic after what happened.Lulu got to her feet. "It's been a while since I've been in Cloud City, and I was thinking I should show Martin around."She excused herself since Irene had another visitor, and Irene nodded since she was not sure if Erin had something private to ask.As she walked with Lulu out of the mansion, she locked arms with her and said, "Come over and have dinner with us. We have yet to catch up even though you're back.""Yeah," Lulu promised.Irene had her old chauffeur drive them, since it was inconvenient

Isaac brought James home.James had not been texting Erin much since he had been busy over the last few days, and he planned to go to Minerva once the Dennis Turner case was resolved.However, Isaac stopped him and told him to have dinner at his house since he had guests.James had no choice but to put his plans on hold, and he sat down on the couch to text Erin. [I'll come tomorrow to visit you. I've already booked a flight tonight.] Erin, who was playing with Irene's baby, whipped out her phone for a look when she felt it vibrate. She then saw James's text, and the contents left her smiling, but she replied: [You don't have to since you're busy. I'm not that important—just do your job properly.]James frowned. [Are you upset?][Yeah.]At the same time, Erin was carrying Irene's baby and sneaked behind him before leaning in to blow her warm breath into his ear.Startled, James sprang to his feet."Who the…"…hell was messing around with him?! Still, he was left gaping

Zachary ignored her question. "Is Lulu with you?"Irene got up and left the dining room. "Just stop it, Zachary—""I'm not messing around—I could've done that at the hotel the other day if I wanted to instead of biding my time. And I'm sure you know that Lulu and that man are close, so I can't separate them no matter what I do. What are you so afraid of?""Lulu is pregnant," Irene retorted. "I'm afraid you'll hurt her child and affect her life—"Zachary cut her short right then. "She's there with you, right? I'm driving there now."Irene frowned. "Zachary—"Beep, beep, beep…He already hung up.Irene quickly dialed her number, but he refused to answer, leaving her utterly frustrated. After thinking about it, she decided that the only option was to tell Lulu and discuss what they should do.She texted her: [Zachary is coming.]Lulu saw the text and peered into the living room for a moment before replying: [It's alright.]Since Lulu said that, she must have been mentally pre

Zachary stiffened. He was silent for a while, before saying quietly, "I'm fine."Opening his car door and getting into his car, he told Irene, "You should go back inside.However, Irene strode up and put a hand on a window, struggling for a while before eventually saying, "You should give up."Zachary looked up at her with sadness in his eyes. "I did."Irene would have liked to offer more comfort, but she could not find the right words. All she could have said would have been 'there's plenty of fish in the sea.'But even if Zachary did find someone better, would he loved her more than he loved Lulu?The hardest thing to do was to meet a person you genuinely loved, after all."I'm fine, don't worry. I'm not that weak," Zachary said as he started the car. "You should go back inside."With that, he drove off, and Irene watched as he did.For some reason, her heart ached a little for him now…That was when she felt a hand on her shoulder, and she turned to find that it was Is

Irene remained in Mrs. Watson's ward, waiting for the latter to wake up.Mrs. Watson slowly stirred after an hour.Her condition was not serious, but it certainly hit out of the blue.The surgery she had to take was not major, but it would leave her drained.Irene got up and pulled her blanket over her shoulder just then, asking, "Are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?"Mrs. Watson checked and soon decided that she felt fine aside from feeling lethargic."I'm alright."Irene smiled. "Good. As long as you're fine."Looking at her just then, Mrs. Watson said, "Your mother won't be able to manage the whole mansion alone…" As she spoke, she tried to get up, but Irene held her back, keeping her blanket in place. "Don't worry, and just rest. I can help out at home too, and I can get more help if I can't. Either way, you don't have to worry about home—just take your time to rest for now."Mrs. Watson sighed. "How could I not worry? I can't stay here for so long…""You have to a

Irene never saw Erin after she came back from the hospital.She would notice her if she returned—Erin was not the type who would shut herself in her room."Probably not," she told Isaac.Isaac nodded.-After Erin drove James home and gestured for her to get down, he said, "I think I'm sick. Must have drank too much."As such, Erin parked the car and helped him back to his home."Lie down on the couch. I'll get you something for your hangover."James caught her wrist. "Just stay with me."He was not drunk at all—that bit of alcohol would not leave him intoxicated and he could hold his liquor.Erin saw through him then and exposed him too. "You tricked me?"James chuckled, his lips curling into a smile as he pulled Erin toward him, holding her firmly by her waist. "I don't expect you to visit," he said. He was certainly surprised to see her.Erin lowered her gaze and whispered, "Love goes both ways. I shouldn't make you do all the work alone."James rested his chin on her
