Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 411 - Bab 420

Zachary turned around to see Ricky standing nearby, with Lulu beside him.Zachary's face fell as his gaze lingered on Lulu, and Ricky could actually feel her trembling. Reaching out, he held her hand and whispered, "It's alright. I'm with you."Zachary saw that, and he immediately balled into a fist.Irene naturally noticed that Zachary was already holding back, and quickly walked up in front of Lulu to block his line of sight. "Found you. Now, it's time for us to leave—you can go about your business now, Zachary."Zachary did not leave, however, instead strode toward them, stalking past Irene. "I need to talk to Lulu."Lulu held his gaze, and said calmly and impassively, "There's nothing to talk about. You're the groom, so stick to your business. I won't be imposing—in fact, I wouldn't be here if I'd known that it's your wedding today. Ricky tricked me, saying that it's a friend's wedding and insisted that I accompany him., so believe me when I tell you that I'm not here to sab

Irene took the note and asked, "Who was the sender?"The attendant shook his head, because he had instructions beforehand. "I can't say.""Alright, thank you." Irene said, refraining from making things difficult for him.After the attendant left, Irene unfurled the piece of paper and read it.[26th floor, Room 502. There's something you must know.]Once she read it, she crumpled it into a ball and threw it into a trash can nearby, but did not land.Something mysterious and unsigned like that would be nothing good—she was not stupid enough to answer such a call.At the same time, the ceremony was starting.As the mob around Isaac dispersed, he went to sit beside Irene. "You're a busy man," she said. He was just here to attend a wedding, but he was the one who got mobbed. She took another sip of her juice and then put her glass down rather heavily.Isaac glanced at the glass and asked, "Are you upset?"Irene shook her head firmly—she certainly would not dare to get upset

There was a crowd gathered outside, staring up at Central Tower. Zachary and Ember did the same, and saw several banners dangling over the glass walls of the tower.[Zachary Slate is a bastard!][Zachary Slate, kiss my ass!][Ember Lindt is a whore!][Ember Lindt is a bitch!]Zachary was not upset at first, but glowered when he saw that Ember was dragged into it. "Where's security?" he snapped. "Why isn't anyone taking those down?!""Right away, sir!"Nonetheless, the Lindts were already alerted—Ember's parents stepped out as well, and their faces fell when they saw the banners."You'd better have an explanation, Zachary."As a family with a reputation to uphold, the Lindts were certainly embarrassed that something like that happened at their daughter's wedding.Mrs. Slate quickly explained, "It must be a prank—""Everyone knows our families' standing in this city, but they mess with us despite knowing that!" Mr. Lindt barked, and turned toward Zachary. "It's obvious tha

Irene woke up to the faint scent of antiseptic. It was such a familiar scent that she immediately knew that she was in the hospital.As she slowly opened her eyes, the lights on the ceiling were so bright that they hurt her eyes. She closed her eyes, rested for a while before opening them again.Mrs. Watson had Tommy in her arms. Relieved to see Irene open her eyes, she exclaimed happily, "You're awake, ma'am!" Irene wanted to get up, but she suddenly found herself too weak and unable to muster any strength. "The doctor said that you're very weak and shouldn't move. You should rest," Mrs. Watson told her.Irene glanced at Tommy just then and held out her hands. "Can you give Tommy to me?"Mrs. Watson put Tommy on her bed, and Irene said, "Let me have a moment."Knowing that she wanted to be alone, Mrs. Watson asked, "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll get it for you."Irene had no appetite at all, and told Mrs. Watson as much.Mrs. Watson sighed and tried to reason

Irene was actually surprised that Isaac would call her first—he never did that after he went abroad twice.Naturally, it surprised her that he would call her."Why…""Mrs. Watson told me that you were sick."Irene's fingers clenched on her phone—he only called because Mrs. Watson told him that she was ill, not because he missed her?Hanging her head, she said, "I'm fine. I just fainted from fatigue.""Are you feeling better now?""Yeah, much better. You don't have to worry.""Yeah."Silence ensued, and it was so quiet that both could hear each other's breathing. Neither of them spoke, but they were not hanging up either.Eventually, Irene broke the silence. "You must be busy. I'll hang up if there's nothing else.""Yeah," he replied.However, neither did.More silence. Eventually, Isaac said, "Let's just hang up.""Yeah," Irene said, and did just that.As she put away her phone, however, she felt unusually calm—as if all her pent-up frustrations and grief all left he
