The Runaway Groom Chapter 899
Irene could clearly hear Isaac panting heavily as he turned and lay down beside her, pulling their blanket over her.Irene did not move—she needed time to calm herself down. It was a while before she did, and she had always been the cool-headed one.Isaac, however, did not share her temperament. He got out of bed, growling, "I need a cold shower.""That's bad," she said, getting up to put on her clothes. Then, pouring him a glass of cold water, she said, "Here. Drink."Isaac stared at Irene for a while before taking it and having a couple of sips."Can't sleep?" Irene then asked."Yeah, so?" Isaac asked."We still have time," she replied. "Let's go catch a movie with Tommy." Isaac was not going to fall asleep anytime soon, and that went for her as well."Okay," Isaac said, and both of them got up, dressed up casually, and headed downstairs to Tommy. Their son was just about to go to bed and he blinked in confusion. "Mommy, weren't you sleeping?""Daddy and I will take
The Runaway Groom Chapter 900
Caught by surprise, Martin did a double take.Still, he soon became serious. "How do you know about Ricky Spencer? Anyway, we've already gathered solid evidence on that case. You know how serious it is too, since he's a murder suspect. You really shouldn't lose sleep over a person like him even if you were close. He's not worth it!"Lulu stared at Martin seriously in return. "He's Irene's stepbrother. I've always thought of him as my younger brother too." Martin actually frowned at that and sat down.That was a real shock, but the law had no place for sentiment.Anyone who committed a crime must bear the consequences, just like how adults should take responsibility for all their actions.Even so, Martin tried to assure Lulu. "Maybe there's a mistake. Don't worry about—just focus on the baby."Lulu understood that he wanted to calm her down, and she held his hand, squeezing it. "Try to think of something."Martin grinned. "Alright, alright. Just don't worry too much about it an
The Runaway Groom Chapter 901
It was midnight, and a sea breeze blew over the crystalline surface of the waters, sending the salty odor in the air up to the shore.It was so cold that anyone would be shivering, but the police officers hiding in the steel containers at the port remained unaffected. Their eyes were sharp and focused as they monitored the situation outside.They were all concentrating on a certain ship, thanks to a tip from their mole. Once there was movement, everyone would storm it and make arrests. Because their quarries were planning to move the ship to international waters to make their trade, they had to make their move ahead of time—mobility was poor at sea, and they must apprehend everyone in one swift stroke before the ship left!Once the ship started its engine, the lieutenant barked orders to move!They surrounded the ship and kept it berthed in the port, and moved in to make arrests.Everyone on the ship was an outlaw, trading objects and substances that hurt others as much as thems

Ricky's whole body was trembling as he rasped, "Who's the father?"Lulu walked up to him but did not answer, instead asking, "Were you involved in that trafficking ring?"Ricky's eyes, however, were red and fixed on her. "Did you kiss and make up with Zachary?"Martin's fork paused just as he was about to reach for another meatball, but he soon carried on as if he heard nothing.At the same time, Lulu was staring patiently at Ricky. "Don't worry about me. You have to tell me everything right now, so that I know how to help you—""Hah!" Ricky snorted. "You're going to help me? How? Can you bend the law to your will?!"Lulu put a hand on his shoulder. "Ricky…""Don't say my name!" Ricky bellowed in agitation.Martin looked up then. "You don't have to talk if you don't want to do it. Lulu, you can go now."Lulu turned to him. "Martin, give me some time…""Don't you see that he's being hostile?" Martin pointed out. "You won't come to an agreement with him anytime soon."Ricky th

The glow in Lulu's eyes slowly faded. She murmured, "But… is he still going to prison?""That's inevitable, but it's better than being executed." Martin sighed, then turned to Ricky. "What do you think?"Lulu turned to Ricky too. "Ricky…""I'll do it," Ricky said very calmly. He knew how grave his crimes were, and no matter what he did to atone, he would not be free from punishment.In fact, Martin's idea was the best."Go home. Leave the rest to me," Martin said, helping her out of the interrogation room.Lulu understood that she would cause trouble for Martin if he stayed too long as well, and she was certainly not worried with him in charge.Even so…She turned toward Ricky, who pursed his lips and smiled. "You should go."With that, Lulu left the interrogation room, and Martin walked with her out of the precinct."I can't go yet," he told her. "But you haven't slept well, have you? Try to get some sleep. I'll buy breakfast when I get home.""It's fine," Lulu said. "Wha

Smiling, Martin said, "You're being overly sentimental. That's why you feel shackled."Lulu smiled too. "Is that flattery I hear?""Not really," Martin replied earnestly. "Being too sentimental isn't good, because you'll be easily affected by everyone and everything around you. I find that to live unconstrained, a clear mind is needed first and foremost."Lulu frowned. Did that not mean said person would become too unsentimental? A person should at least have a couple of people they cared about, should they not?Watching Martin just then, she said, "If you're that calm, I guess you'll remarry right after I die. All women are the same, aren't they?"Martin was speechless for a moment and stared back at her. "How did you manage to warp my words that badly?"Lulu laughed. "I'm just kidding, You should look at your face."Seeing that she was laughing, Martin laughed too. Her smile was fake back when they first got married, but he could feel that it was earnest now.He happily p

Lulu replied, "Yeah, it's serious."Irene heaved a deep sigh. "How bad is it?""He's involved in murder," Lulu said shortly.Irene's face fell, and she quickly sat down with her baby since her legs suddenly caved. The baby was not staying put, however, and was flailing around, clapping her cheek one moment and grabbing her hair the next."I just want you to be prepared, Irene," Lulu said then. "That's why I'm telling you this. Martin will do his best to help Ricky too.""I'm counting on both of you," Irene replied. "Try to help him whenever possible. I can't go over there right now, with both my children here and Isaac gone…""Don't worry," Lulu assured her. "Martin and I will do our best.""Yeah," Irene murmured softly. "Thank you.""It's fine," Lulu told her.Hanging up, Irene carried her baby back into the mansion, but it seemed that he was reluctant, and he started crying as soon as they stepped inside.As such, she had to stay outside and keep teaching him how to walk.
The Runaway Groom Chapter 906
James did not dare to look at Irene, let alone answer her.It was not as if he refused to offer her any comfort.The truth was that he did not come straight to Irene after he was informed about Isaac's plane crashing, but instead, he sent anyone they had over to the scene immediately. They in turn confirmed the plane had crashed within Dunesia borders, and just before James arrived at the hilltop mansion, he was further informed that they found the wreckage on Darcy's Peak, the highest peak of the country. It was common knowledge that while airplanes were the safest way to travel, a crash was always lethal!That was why he did not dare to give Irene an answer—her disappointment would be worse if he gave her hope!Fortunately, Irene waved him off feebly. "I get it. Just make the arrangements… Can you get us out before sundown?""Yes," James replied. Irene took her baby back from James just then, but it felt like her chest was hollowed out—as if her heart was taken away. She
