The Runaway Groom
Chapter 965

Martin quickly averted his eyes. "Nothing."

Lulu certainly doubted that and reached out to turn his face so that he faced her directly. "Tell me. What was that about?"

Martin came clean right then. "Well, you know who the father is. I won't mind if you want Jean to be named after him..."

Lulu glowered right then and turned to leave the room.

For some reason, her heart hurt.

Martin followed her outside. "Are you upset?" Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lulu kept her back to him. "No."

“You are," Martin said, exposing her right then.

Lulu said nothing to that and kept her gaze lowered.

Martin walked up in turn and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist from behind, and he brushed his cheek against hers. "I misspoke. Please don't get angry, alright?"

Lulu pursed her lips and turned to face him. “I'm not that cold, Martin. I know you've been good to me, so why would you mention him?"

"I was just trying to say that I'd respect whatever you decide on. I wasn't deliberately mentioning it to upset you," Martin explained, and added apologetically, "I'm sorry—"

He was cut off mid-sentence as Lulu suddenly kissed him.

Taken aback, he was left staring blankly at her as she put her arms around his neck and went deeper with her kiss!

Martin's hands remained at her waist, breathing in her faint sweetness and that tinge of milky smell.

He did not move, however—it was not as if he did not want to respond, but he was not sure if Lulu was mentally prepared.

And he was certainly worried that he would not be able to hold back once he got in the mood!

Meanwhile, Lulu kissed him until her lips went numb, only for him to not react at all.

She slowly pulled away from her lips, not quite understanding what Martin's intentions were. "Don't you want to consummate our relationship?"

Martin pursed his lips and gulped.

“I'm really into you," he said. "There's no way I wouldn't want that. In fact, I'm restraining myself every moment I'm with you, but I can't do it when you're not ready. I don't want you to think..."

Pausing as if to find the right words, he continued, "I just didn't want you to think that I was helping you just to sleep with you. I would scream how much I love you if I could, but I won't until you're ready to accept me, let alone do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.” Lulu threw herself into his arms then, keeping her head lowered as her tears gushed. "You big dummy."

Martin held her in return. "I just want to take good care of you, so that you won't have to suffer from now on."

Lulu sniffled and looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "Do I look like I'm suffering?"

“I mean, I can improve on my shortcomings from now on," Martin said seriously. "You just have to tell me—"

She laughed. "You're making me feel as if I'm charmless as a woman." Their eyes met, and the room was suddenly silent, as if even air itself had turned still.

Even their breaths could be heard with such clarity!

And in the very next instant, Martin leaned in and kissed her ferociously.

He was so forceful that Lulu frowned from the pain the instant he kissed her, but she embraced him nonetheless.

The kiss grew in passion, as they seemed to be secreting copious amounts of dopamine into each other!

Martin kept kissing Lulu as he moved her to the couch, inadvertently knocking off a box nearby.

They had put the many gifts they received from their colleagues during Jean's christening in the living room beside the couch.

Lulu turned toward the box.

Before she could reach it, however, Martin scooped her up in his arms, put her on the couch, and moved on top of her!
