The Runaway Groom Chapter 1161
Zachary naturally wanted to make up with Lulu, but more than that, he wanted her to overcome her trauma and live positively.It was not necessary to suffer for the rest of one's life just because one had suffered once!However, Irene was cooking dinner at the kitchen in Franconia, since Erin Gooding was discharged and coming over. She left her phone in her room and was not within earshot.Meanwhile, Zachary was not one who easily gave up and tried three times.He had to give up for the moment at that point, just as he would not try to push Lulu too far to change her mind."I'm going out later. Take good care of Star," he told Lulu."Yeah," Lulu replied, refusing to breathe one more word than necessary.Zachary allowed his gaze to linger before leaving, while Lulu cleaned up the dining table.She was not feeling an appetite herself, and since things were getting out of hand, she decided to call Irene.Irene did not answer, and she gave up—she knew that Irene must be busy or m

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 blushed even as she placed her palm on Isaac's muscular chest and felt the searing sensation."Stop it." She pouted.Isaac was just teasing her and not actually going for it.Even though they were married and had two children together, she still acted like an innocent maiden—and he liked it.Wrapping his arms around her waist, he asked, "How does a trip to the Swishland with the boys sound? Once I'm not busy—And you were saying that you'd like to go skiing.""I do… And take in the ocean view and maple leaves," Irene murmured as she leaned against his chest.She turned to look at him with her bright, tender eyes that were clear as spring—her body seemed aglow from bliss.Isaac nuzzled her hair and her ear, his voice dulcet as he said, "I'll take you wherever you like, but…"As he trailed off, she kept looking at her eyes, grateful for his care and protection.This peace did not come easy after they had gone through so much.And now, they loved, cherished, and accommodate

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

Isaac pinched her cheek. "You're only praising me now? What about other times?"Irene giggled again and pressed herself firmly against his chest. "I don't have to. I know too well you're the best to me and love me dearly.""It's late. Go to sleep," Isaac told her.However, Irene did not feel sleepy after everything, and Isaac noticed. "Can't sleep huh?"As Irene nodded honestly, Isaac said, "Let's go out.""Now?" Irene glanced at the clock—it was already midnight."This is where the fun begins. Get up—we're going," Isaac said, getting up.Irene was hesitant. "Is that really alright?" "What's the issue?" he asked as he picked her up. "Get dressed."Irene curled up reluctantly. "You're serious?""What do you think?" Isaac asked, raising a brow.Irene's playful side was invoked, since she had not gone out with him like this together.Getting out of bed, she said, "I've never had a nightlife. You'd better show me some fun."Isaac stared at her, sitting on the bed. "How, exact

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

Irene fried the egg, tomato, and ham, cooking everything with the cup noodles and making sure Isaac watched.She really doubted he would not get angry, especially when it was daybreak."Oh, this is so good!" she exclaimed as she ate, twirling the noodles on her fork while grinning ear to ear. "Care to have a taste?"Isaac simply watched in silence, leaving Irene bored. "You're so dull."Isaac frowned. "I'm going to take a nap."Seeing that he was really not hungry, Irene gave up on teasing him. "Okay. I'm going to do it later."-It was nighttime over at Zidonia, but Zachary never came home.Lulu was worried and unsure if he was avoiding her but was afraid to call.If she did, Zachary would have the wrong idea and become convinced that she still had feelings for him and could not give up completely.She did not want to leave him hanging—if anything, she wanted him to give up to start a new life.Star also happened to be bothersome tonight, refusing to sleep. She kept bawling

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
