The Runaway Groom
Chapter 865

Lulu promptly wheeled on the stewards who brought the breakfast cart and snapped, "We don't need this. Take it away!"

Martin turned toward her just then.

What happened? She usually would never get upset this easily... sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Still, he did not question her. Instead, he told the stewards, "You can take these away. We've actually been having breakfast here for a while..."

"Actually, sir, this isn't from our hotel,” one of the stewards said awkwardly. "A gentleman had us deliver it."

Martin promptly understood why Lulu got upset.

The man they met at the lobby must have sent these.

"Alright, just leave it here. You may go now," he said.

Lulu stared at him in confusion. "Why? Don't you know who sent these?"

“I do,” Martin replied.

Lulu was even more confused. "If you do, then..."

Martin did not explain, but instead closed the door after sending the stewards away.

Then, he walked up to Lulu, and helped her sit down on the couch. "Would you change anything if you throw these away?" Martin said patiently, already knowing everything. "These must be your favorites, right? He's trying to provoke me since I don't know, but so what? That's in the past—people, their tastes, and their feelings change with time. Just like you and me."

As Lulu held his gaze, Martin held her hands and continued. "If you've given up on him and have no delusions about him, you should be facing his challenge with composure... and to be frank, I was hoping he wouldn't affect you at all, if you know what I mean?"

Lulu stayed silent for a long while.

Yes.

If she no longer cared about Zachary Slate, why would she get agitated over this?

He was no longer the man who would affect her mood!

Leaning against Martin's shoulder then, she said, "Thank you."

For not berating her over this, and instead comforted her, even guiding her.

As she was enlightened right when, Martin asked, "You must be hungry, right? You should eat before it gets cold.”

"Yeah," Lulu replied. "I used to like these back in college, but not now!" Unlike other pregnant women who preferred more lightly flavored food, she preferred food with strong flavor, and could handle anything spicy or sour.

Still, she showed restraint when the doctor told her that eating spicy food would cause reddened skin for her baby, though she would let loose once in a while.

"This stuff is good. The flavor is not strong," Martin said just then.

Lulu pursed her lips. "Then it's decided. We'll have chili tonight!" Martin was speechless. "Fine, but that's the last time. You're due soon.” Lulu nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, yeah. Just this once."

With that, they had a simple breakfast before Lulu called Irene to meet up.

After they cleaned up and took the elevator downstairs, and ran into Zachary at the lobby... although “ran into’ was stretching it.

Zachary said, "Fancy that."

Lulu held on to Martin's hand and smiled. "Yeah, fancy that."

She knew it was no coincidence, but she did not expose him.

She would no longer lose composure over him, and would instead face him with calmness and composure. "I'm going to meet Irene. Do you want to join us?"

Zachary was actually surprised that she would invite him, and he nodded. "I'm not imposing, am 1?"

“You wouldn't have showed up here if you thought you were, would you?" Lulu said. "By the way, the breakfast was delicious, and my husband liked it too. Feel free to send more tomorrow if you're free tomorrow.”

With that, she started to head outside, still holding onto Martin's hand, leaving Zachary behind, stunned.
