The Runaway Groom
Chapter 902

Ricky's whole body was trembling as he rasped, "Who's the father?" Lulu walked up to him but did not answer, instead asking, "Were you involved in that trafficking ring?"

Ricky's eyes, however, were red and fixed on her. "Did you kiss and make up with Zachary?"

Martin's fork paused just as he was about to reach for another meatball, but he soon carried on as if he heard nothing.

At the same time, Lulu was staring patiently at Ricky. "Don't worry about me. You have to tell me everything right now, so that I know how to help you—"

"Hah!" Ricky snorted. "You're going to help me? How? Can you bend the law to your will?!"

Lulu put a hand on his shoulder. "Ricky..."

"Don't say my name!" Ricky bellowed in agitation.

Martin looked up then. "You don't have to talk if you don't want to do it. Lulu, you can go now."

Lulu turned to him. "Martin, give me some time..."

"Don't you see that he's being hostile?" Martin pointed out. "You won't come to an agreement with him anytime soon.”

Ricky then glanced between Martin and Lulu.

Sharp as ever, he asked, "You... And him...?"

"We're married,” Martin said.

Ricky was left dumbfounded, the rage in his eyes slowly fading, leaving only shock and disbelief!

Lulu then told Ricky, "He's telling the truth. We're married... and I'm having his child."

"Hah. Haha!" Ricky laughed ironically, and at himself. "As long as it's not Zachary Slate."

He would never have been able to accept it if Lulu made up with Zachary, after Zachary and his family hurt her so much.

If Lulu still forgave Zachary after all that, Ricky would probably die from a heart attack!

Ricky studied Martin, who appeared solemn and dignified in his police uniform, which certainly gave a sense of security.

Ricky slowly understood why Lulu would choose Martin instead of him. What he wanted and yearned so much for was ultimately not his.

It was a dream shattered, with nothing left for him.

Deflated and looking like he was done with life, he groaned, "Just ask whatever you want to know!"

It turned out that after he left Cloud City to look for Lulu, he had tried to start his own business while doing so.

However, he was swindled of all his money soon after he left and was bullied terribly, ending up homeless and wandering the streets. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He had thought about going back and contacting Irene, but he was too embarrassed to do so when he had nothing to his name!

"Ricky, tell me you didn't do anything bad," Lulu said, looking him straight in the eye.

Nonetheless, Ricky bluntly said, "I did."

"What, did you kill someone?" Lulu asked half-jokingly.

Ricky, however, paused and murmured, "Yeah..."

His expression was cold and jaded—the bright and cheerful youth from before was no longer seen.

Right now, he did not even seem to care about a thing.

Lulu started to stumble backward at the revelation, and Martin had to quickly catch her.

Clenching on Martin's hand, her voice was shaking. "W-What should we do?"

How could they get Ricky out of this? If there was someone who could do it, who would it be?

She was so nervous that she did not know how firmly she was holding onto Martin.

But despite Lulu's nails breaking skin, Martin remained unmoved and said mildly, "Calm down. You're pregnant!"

Ricky looked at Lulu in turn and said calmly, "It's fine. I get to see you, and see that you're happy. Don't feel sorry for me—I put myself on this path and I won't blame everyone. It's my destiny."

Lulu could not think, let alone decide what to do.

Martin said, "It's not like we are completely out of options."

Lulu's eyes lit up right then and she turned toward Martin with eyes full of hope. "Do you know what to do?"

"He can confess to everything and fight for leniency. And most importantly, we still haven't arrested his ringleader,” Martin replied, before turning to Ricky. “If you can help us apprehend him, that's a contribution on your part, and it would definitely help immensely. There's also the chance for you to gain parole for good behavior while you're serving your sentence, and that's the best option for now."
