The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1007

Irene and Zachary boarded the flight to the airport nearest to New Kent, while Lulu packed all of Jean's belongings.

She would be waiting for them, and they would be able to take Jean away once they arrived.

Irene and Zachary's flight lasted eleven hours, and they got a car that took them straight to Lulu's apartment afterward.

Lulu received them with Jean in her arms, and Irene could tell immediately that Lulu got skinnier.

Irene held out her hands. "I can carry her."

"You're tired—I can carry her myself," Lulu said. "Come on in." Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As she turned and went inside, Irene glanced at Zachary to see him pursing his lips and staring at Lulu from the back, with a faraway look in his eyes.

"What's on your mind?" Irene whispered.

Zachary swallowed but said, "Nothing."

That was not quite the truth since he was not feeling calm at the moment.

He decided to get over Lulu and earnestly wished her happiness. Why did her happiness have to be ruined again?

“Is Martin cheating on you or did he die in the line of duty?" Zachary asked.

He was convinced that something serious had to happen to Martin for Lulu to decide on something like that.

Lulu stopped in her tracks in turn, her figure wobbling a little. However, she did not reply and kept walking into the distance.

Irene in turn put a hand on Zachary's arm, gesturing for him to stop talking.

Zachary was not playing along. "If it's the former, I'm going to kill him." "You need to calm down, Zachary," Irene said, frowning.

“I'm calm," Zachary replied.

He remembered Martin promising to take care of Lulu.

How could he not get upset when Lulu was left in this state?!

Lulu never answered and instead led them to the apartment where she stayed with Martin.

The building was a little old, but it was managed well and much better than newer apartments.

They entered the rather dark walkway, and Lulu opened the door for them. "Come on in."

Both Zachary and Irene did.

It was the first time they were there—it was not a large place, but Lulu managed it well, giving it a sense of homeliness.

The windows were open, and they could see the clothes being dried on the balcony, flapping gently with a gust of breeze.

There were succulents blooming over several pots, and their leaves were plum and healthy.

Warm sunlight spilled in through the windows, illuminating the living room and shrouding a stroller.

It was a gentle, cozy sight.

Lulu had already packed up everything for Jean and put them on the couch.

As she brought them drinks, she said, "Jean's stuff is all there."

Irene was staring at her. "What happened to Martin? Is it serious?" Lulu sat on the chair by the dining table, keeping her gaze lowered at Jean as she said, "Don't ask.”

Irene pursed her lips and refrained from saying anything else.

On the other hand, Zachary was less than calm since he saw Lulu. “Then why did you ask us here?"

He was not upset at Lulu, but her refusal to talk made him feel like Lulu was protecting Martin, which made him further convinced that Martin had done something wrong.

“That's the man you chose?" he huffed. "He's no better than me! You're really blind, aren't you, messing up with the men you choose not once, but twice—"

“That's enough from you," Irene said, putting a restraining hand on Zachary.

However, he was plenty upset inside and pointed at Lulu just then. "Can't you see that she's still defending that man?"
