All Chapters of The Runaway Groom: Chapter 1161 - Chapter 1170

Isaac certainly did not want his wife to work to the bone.James smiled. "We don't come by that often anyway.""It'd be worse if you do." Isaac snorted.Erin was thoroughly grateful, just as she knew that she had been imposing on Erin.Wrapping her hands around Irene's arm cutely, she said, "You can take my child as goddaughter if it's a girl in return, and if Irene doesn't dislike it."Isaac, however, felt stung—Erin had to mention the fact that he had two sons and no daughter."Are you sure it's a daughter?" he asked. "Who knows? You might end up with more sons than me."Erin was not upset—Isaac meant to upset her. "You're not jealous because you think I have a chance, are you?" she giggled.-However, it turned out that Erin really took it to heart and asked James to take her to the hospital after they left the castle."Didn't we just leave? Are you sick?"James was a little confused, and nervous at the thought that Erin was sick. "I'll take you there right now."As Ja

Irene asked, "What do you plan to do?""Leave right away," Lulu replied. "But I can't bear to leave Star."Irene was not surprised by Lulu's dilemma—being a mother too, she knew how important her children were to her.As such, she would not voice her opinion when Lulu made up her mind. Lulu was an adult with her own mind on things, and Irene just had to help her when she needed it."Do you want me to talk to Zachary?" Irene asked."No," Lulu replied but turned silent for a while before continuing, "I'm calling you because he's told me, and things are really awkward between us right now.""I think he still wants to be with you," Irene said earnestly. "He's always been loyal to you."Lulu merely pursed her lips bitterly. "That only pressures me. I'd be happier if he were nasty."The better Zachary treated her, the less she would be able to overcome her mental hurdles to face him directly.Irene brushed her fingers through her hair. "You know him. He'd never hate you."And it wa

Rearing her head, Irene's palm-sized cheeks lit up with a hint of mischief. "Don't you like it?"Isaac caressed her cheek. "I do, but I don't like others watching it."Irene giggled as she wrapped a hand around his arm. "Talk about toxic masculinity.""No, I simply love and treasure you that much," Isaac argued.-They headed to a seedy nightclub, and Irene stiffened since she never visited such places."Calm down," Isaac told her. "I'm here."Irene leaned into him in turn. "Why would I be afraid? It's not the wolf's den."Isaac smiled lovingly, and they found a booth seat at the corner, ordering two cocktails.Men and women were brushing against each other in the dance floor ahead, dancing maniacally amidst the deafening music. It seemed to help them forget the mundaneness of life or monetary issues, allowing them to go as wild as they wanted.Such might be the charm and pleasure of a night life—a place to forget life's conundrums and to lose oneself.However, while those w

Zachary turned to stare at her. "Is that concern I hear?" Lulu lowered her head uncomfortably. "I'm paid to do this. You're my employer, and it's only right that I do my best."Her cool, distant reaction left Zachary stung.Chuckling coolly, he said, "You're really up for the job, huh? Taking good care of me and my daughter. Doesn't that mean I should give you a raise to properly reward your performance?"Naturally, Lulu did not take his sarcastic remarks and replied calmly, "I won't refuse if you're offering more pay, Mr. Slate."With that, Zachary's attempt at provocation came up short.Bzzt—Zachary's phone rang in his pocket.Taking it out to see that it was Isaac's number, he headed into his room and closed the door before answering."Hello—""It's me," Stan Hill said from the other end.Zachary thought he was seeing things and checked the caller again, but it really was Isaac's number.So why was it not Isaac?Holding the phone against his ear again, he asked, "Hell

There was a knock on his door—it could only be Lulu since there was no one else.Zachary quickly composed himself, straightening his clothes before opening the door.To no surprise, Lulu was standing outside, impassive, just like a babysitter paid to take care of Star.Even her tone was formal. "I've cooked something. You can have it if you like, Mr. Slate."Zachary did not want to be upset, but it hurt to see Lulu being distant.Restraining his flaring emotions, he said quietly, "I'm not hungry. Don't bother me if there's nothing else."He slammed the door shut with a bang, leaving Lulu surprised.She did not want to bother him since he was in a bad mood and started to leave.But when she did, the door opened. Zachary snapped when she saw that she was going to leave, "Do I have to die before you understand I can feel hurt too, Lulu?"Lulu stopped and turned back, asking in bemusement, "Do you have to sink that low? Do you have to like some woman who was married and has been w
