Irene came to a realization right then. "Tommy did that?"Still, she soon realized that only a child would do something so nonsensical."Let me go already!" Zachary urged."Swear you won't go looking for Lulu and I will," Irene said."I swear..."Irene undid the hair knots while waiting for him to swear it… but that was all he said.Speechless for a moment, she said, "Swear it.""I just did," Zachary replied, holding her gaze.Irene said nothing, and rose to her feet. "You can keep enjoying the couch, I guess!""You women are troublesome." Zachary sighed feebly."Lulu is a woman too. Why would you like her so much?" Irene asked in return.Zachary was at a loss for words and frowned. "Fine, I give in—I really can't beat you in an argument. I swear I won't go looking for Lulu, or…"Irene stared at him. "Or, what?" Zachary pursed his lips. "I'd choke on my food and drown from drinking…""What's that supposed to mean? Can't you be more direct?" Irene pointed out."Do I have

Eagle was confused—he was positive that Zachary would never free himself after with the knots he tied around him. "How did you free yourself?"Someone must have done it!Zachary chuckled coldly. "You've been betrayed."Tommy blinked his big, bright eyes. "By who?""Your mommy, of course!" Zachary snapped, not bothered to give chase. "Now get over here like a good boy, and I won't make it hurt. Get stubborn with me, and you'll get a spanking!"Tommy's little jaw hung open. "You're terrible, Uncle Zachary." "Only because it's you—or did you forget what you did to me?" Zachary growled, sitting down on the stairs and beckoning, "Get over here."Tommy, however, turned toward Eagle. "Do you think the two of us can beat him?""I can do it myself," Eagle replied.The exchange left Zachary speechless, while Tommy confidently put his hands on his hips. "Get over here.""You brat!" Zachary snapped. "You should behave, but you want a fight instead? I see you really want a spanking!" T

Zachary recognized the man—he was one of the protective details Stan had arranged for them whom Zachary stationed outside.He frowned. "Why are you panicking?"The man shook his head—he was not panicking, but it was urgent."There is someone asking for you outside," the man reported."Who?" Zachary asked."No idea." Why did he bother asking?Zachary started to head outside, with the man in tow. "Let's go take a look."At the gates, Zachary saw that the person looking for him was actually a boy. Standing at a modest five foot four, he looked scrawny and his cheeks were dirty as if he had not bathed for a long time, and he had tied up his long hair.Zachary felt suspicious since the filth hid the boy's face, but asked, "You were looking for me?"The boy nodded."Who sent you?" Zachary asked."A Zidonian named James Cross," the boy said, still staring at him. "He told me about this place."Zachary turned serious since James did know about the place.However, he did not beli

Zachary almost cursed. "Did he bail?"However, he had just whipped out his phone when he saw Barzel, who had already changed into the clothes Zachary brought.Barzel's hair was now clean, revealing its original dark blond hue. It was quite long and covered his ears.His cheeks were fair and speckled, and his bangs dangled over his brows in front of his cobalt-blue eyes. He was carrying a plate of food and watching Zachary as he said, "Sorry. I was hungry." He left to find food when he stepped out of the bathroom and found no one around. Since it was complimentary, he brought some back to his room.As Zachary lowered his phone, Barzel asked, "Would you like some?" Zachary shook his head and settled on the couch, while Barzel put the plate on the table and continued eating."What's your name?" Zachary asked."Barzel," Barzel replied while keeping his head lowered and continued stuffing his mouth full of food. "Just ask me if you have any questions."Zachary was quite surpr

Irene sat down and told him, "Let's be serious, Zachary."Zachary sat opposite her in turn, his eyes fixed on her. "I was being serious.""Then tell me. Are you visiting Lulu to see her baby or were you just lying to me?" Irene asked, looking him in the eye.Zachary did a double take, though he had to admit that he had been feeling troubled because he was not allowed to acknowledge his own child.It was as regretful as it was painful, and he certainly was upset that Irene stopped him.Naturally, he understood that Irene was doing this for Lulu's sake, but did he not have the right to be informed and to the child's custody? "I was lying a little," he replied. Even if he was upset and disappointed about it, he had no genuine intention of ruining Lulu's life now. "I admit that Martin is good and has done better than I have," Zachary said, knowing that it was his own fault things ended badly between him and Lulu.If only he had the strength to protect her from harm and from bre

Zachary refused to answer, leaving Irene unable to stay composed at all.He knew Isaac much earlier than she did, and she scarcely knew a thing about his past.What was Zachary trying to say? [Explain yourself, Zachary Slate! What were you trying to say?!]Zachary simply lay in bed, lifting a brow when his phone jingled with a notification, but he did not check it.He knew that Irene was flustered—and certainly had the capacity for it.As it turned out, no one could stay unaffected when something like that happened to them. He certainly did not believe in empathy—one had to experience the same anguish as the person to really know how it felt, and those who had never gone through it would never understand it.Meanwhile, his phone kept jingling, and he finally picked it up for a look.[Zachary Slate!][Zachary Slate!!!]He was being spammed with his own name.Chuckling, he slowly got to his feet and answered the door.Irene was actually stunned, since she did not expect h

Irene remained composed in spite of Zachary's sharp glare and suddenly smiled."Look, I was just trying to convince you not to bother Lulu.""So what was the point of all that?!" Zachary snapped. "What do you think?" Irene asked him in return."I think it's pointless," he replied.Irene heaved a long sigh and said, "Me too. I mean, if a person likes you, that's basically love, right? Can a person love you without liking you? That's ridiculous."That was why she remained so composed when Zachary told her that Isaac only 'liked' her—from her perspective, that was good enough, since there was not much difference between liking and loving!Zachary pouted. "Then why did you bother giving that crap?""I'm not," she said, but Zachary pushed her out of her room before she could explain. "Fine, I get it. You don't want me looking for Lulu, right? I won't go.""As long as you understand." Irene smiled.Zachary rolled his eyes after closing the door behind her.Why should he listen to
The Runaway Groom Chapter 979
Lulu's phone was on silent mode since the last time it rang, it woke Jean right after she put her to sleep.Jean was crying a long while afterward too, so Lulu always put her phone on silent to avoid that from happening again—at least it meant peace for her baby. Earlier, she left it on the couch while washing the dirty laundry, and she was now in the bedroom to feed Jean.Lulu did not see or hear her phone vibrating repeatedly.And after she fed Jean, she folded the laundry and put them in the closet. Once she was done with housework, she lay in bed and took a nap with Jean in her arms.She did not sleep well, after all—in fact, she had not gotten a good night's sleep after she and Martin consummated their marriage.He would come on to her every night and for hours! She therefore needed her nap to recharge during daytime.Martin returned just then, putting some fish he brought in the kitchen. He was planning to make soup for Lulu since she has not been lactating much, and Je
