Martin was staring at Lulu. "I'll feed her."

"No, it's fine," Lulu said, walking over to him and getting out of bed. "Give her to me."

Martin pursed his lips and stared at her but Lulu kept her hands outstretched toward him without moving, and both of them remained in that position for a while!

Zachary returned in a bad mood.

Irene did not ask him anything, while James was still bedridden.

The house was therefore gloomy, and only Erin would be moving around.

Since she had been learning to cook, she had to buy a lot of food ingredients.

Zachary was half-reclined on the couch when Erin left the kitchen with soup she just made, but he called out to her just as she was about to bring it to James in his room. "Is James the only person living around here? There's others here too, y'know?"

Erin shot him a look. "You're nuts."

Zachary chuckled. "Come on. I just wanted to try that soup you made."

"There's more in the kitchen," Erin replied. "Get it yourself."

    James shrugged. "He's just messing around—that's just what he's like, so just ignore him. He's not that bad either."I know," Erin replied while helping James button his shirt. "If he were that terrible, you wouldn't be hanging out with him."As James looked at her, Erin smiled. "And you're not that bad either."James brushed her hair with his fingers then. "Aren't you going home yet?""My leave isn't over yet," Erin said, and she picked up the bowl of soup to hand it over..James always humored her and would finish the food she cooked whether it tasted good, while never forgetting to praise her. "Your cooking is getting better. I don't think I can eat anyone else's cooking soon."However, Erin was staring at him seriously. "I think I should resign. You're hurt, and you need someone to take care of you…"James put the bowl down to look at her then.He naturally wanted Erin to stay at his side, but he was unsure if she just wanted to take care of him or if she had gotten over he

    Zachary smiled. "How'd you know?""You were acting very strange," Erin replied. "There's either something bothering you, or you're just crazy."Zachary was speechless. "You're just a girl. Don't you have any respect for your brother?"Erin could roll her eyes right then. What even made him her brother? Zachary remained serious as he broke it down for her. "Isaac, James, and I are as close as brothers, right?"Erin nodded. "Yeah."She knew that all too well."And of us three, Isaac is the eldest and a brother to you, but I'm older than James. Whether it's because of your connection to Isaac or to James, I'm a brother to you and should be addressed as such."Erin was speechless. The man made sense, but having to call him 'brother' was too cringeworthy!"Can I call you something else?" Erin asked."What then?" Zachary asked in return. Erin thought about it. Brother was definitely not going to cut it, just as 'uncle' was wrong. "I think I'll just stick to 'Zachary'," Eri

    Zachary turned to find James standing nearby, and he smiled awkwardly. "You're still hurt. Why did you come out here? You should be staying in your room.""If I did, I won't be able to listen to you embarrassing yourself," James said, scowling. "Over here, Erin."Erin quickly walked to his side, blinking. "Are you upset?""Not at you," James replied. Zachary reclined against the couch and asked, "Then, at me?""Who else is there?" James snapped while Erin helped him sit. Zachary pouted. "You're a cripple, man. Why don't you stay in your room instead of coming out here?""Watch your language!" Erin snapped, unhappy with the personal attack.James clapped her on the shoulder. "Calm down. Don't you know why he doesn't have a girlfriend? It's because of that rotten mouth of his." Zachary was speechless. "Your personal attacks are worse than mine."James chuckled. "Pot, meet kettle."Zachary clicked his tongue. "Whatever you say."He got to his feet, ready to leave since he o

    Irene blinked. "Well, it would be weird if I called you something else," she admitted.Getting the advantage right then, Zachary puffed himself up. "See? I'm her senior.""How so?" Irene asked."I'm younger than Isaac, but you married him," he explained, pausing for a moment before continuing, "Since I'm your upperclassman, he should defer to me too, right?"James and Erin were speechless, with the former rising to his feet. "Come on. Let's go back to my room."The way Zachary kept talking, he would have to defer to Zachary too!"Stay here. You should listen to see if I'm right," Zachary grinned smugly. "Honestly, my junior is really the best!'James really wanted to punch him right then—that face definitely needed one."You're right," Irene suddenly said. "But you'd have to ask Isaac first to see if that applies."James stared at Zachary in turn. "You heard her."Zachary was speechless—Isaac would throw him out of his own house if he so much as breathed that.Yes, that wa

    James placed a hand on Erin's shoulder to direct her to his room, and she nodded.After she left, James turned toward Zachary. "Sit.""What is it?" Zachary asked, eying him skeptically."I can tell you're in a bad mood. Anything you want to say to me?" Zachary smiled but said nothing despite taking his seat. "Come on. Don't jinx me like that."James did not press him, probably sensing that Zachary had trouble talking about it.Zachary then added, "Let's go get a drink when you're feeling better."James nodded.-In his room, Tommy was writing his own name on a notebook.Irene told him to learn it by the day and to make it look nice.While he did, she stood by the bed to call Stan, but no one answered. She put down the phone and returned to the table to check on Tommy's handwriting.Around an hour later, her phone started ringing. It was a return call from Stan, and when she picked it up, she asked, "Why weren't you answering?"On the other end, Stan shot a look at Isa

    Stan pretended to be absolutely afraid. "Okay, I won't move. Please don't hurt me."Hector pulled off his face mask then."Piece of sh*t," he snapped at Stan in disdain, before walking up to Isaac's bed, watching him as he said, "Your lackeys are just so incompetent."Isaac did not answer as he calmly opened his eyes.His vision was still dark, but he could imagine how savage and smug Hector's face would look right then. "How lucky can you get, surviving a plane crash?" Hector said as he pulled a chair over to sit beside Isaac's bed. "I wonder how you're going to escape now, what with your blindness and an incompetent subordinate."Isaac remained nonchalant. "Do you think you can stop me if I want to leave?""Still talking tough in this situation?" Hector laughed and licked his parched lips. "I've lost my life's work because of you! I'll take you down with me even if it kills me, get it?!"Isaac simply ignored him as if he had completely expected this.After all, Hector had b

    Hector's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?"Isaac spoke calmly, as if he was just talking about the weather. "How did the pilots in that plane crash die?"Hector was dumbfounded. Even if he had only murdered the flight captain, he knew that Isaac had what it takes to have him charged for the co-pilot's death too.However, he was not exactly innocent—he was planning to kill both pilots after they killed Isaac anyway, but his plan failed. He killed the captain so that anyone searching for Isaac would presume his death and give up on searching while he searched secretly. He thought he would reach Isaac first and kill Isaac without anyone knowing, while staging his death as if he died from the crash. It was only regrettable that the plan failed!"It's a life for a life," Isaac said flatly, leaving Hector clenching his knuckles and glaring at him so hard he could bore a hole in him!"I'll haunt you forever, Isaac Jefferson!" Hector cursed Isaac. "You'll die horribly!"

    Zachary then asked, "Isn't Lulu your friend? Aren't you going to ask after her?"Irene shot him a look. "She's having it better than me, with Martin taking care of her."In fact, Irene felt like things were a mess for her right now.There was no telling how Isaac's treatment was going, and he was not letting her visit. Eyes were so important to humans, after all, which left her with a nagging worry even though the doctors claimed that the condition was treatable. Zachary could not deny what she was saying either.Irene turned toward him and asked, "Finally giving up?"Zachary reclined against his seat, looking nonchalant as he softly muttered, "Yeah.""That just means you have nothing tying you down when you find someone you like," she told him.Zachary chuckled, however, suddenly finding love pointless. Once things changed, it would simply not feel the same way again. Irene watched his despondent reaction in return. "As long as you understand."Zachary said nonchalantl

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    "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

    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
