The Runaway Groom
Chapter 979

Lulu’s phone was on silent mode since the last time it rang, it woke Jean right after she put her to sleep.

Jean was crying a long while afterward too, so Lulu always put her phone on silent to avoid that from happening again—at least it meant peace for her baby.

Earlier, she left it on the couch while washing the dirty laundry, and she was now in the bedroom to feed Jean.

Lulu did not see or hear her phone vibrating repeatedly.

And after she fed Jean, she folded the laundry and put them in the closet. Once she was done with housework, she lay in bed and took a nap with Jean in her arms.

She did not sleep well, after all—in fact, she had not gotten a good night's sleep after she and Martin consummated their marriage.

He would come on to her every night and for hours!

She therefore needed her nap to recharge during daytime.

Martin returned just then, putting some fish he brought in the kitchen. He was planning to make soup for Lulu since she has not been lactating much, and Jean was mostly drinking formula milk these days. He worked for quite a while, gutting the fish and clearing the innards before he finally put everything into the pot.

He just bought a recipe book for soups as well, since he understood it was difficult for Lulu to raise a child alone.

Since he was still on leave, he decided to spend more time taking care of her.

When he left the kitchen, he saw Lulu’s phone vibrating on the couch and he went over to pick it up.

Seeing that it was Irene, he headed to the bedroom to hand it to Lulu, but he did not wake her when he saw that she was napping.

The phone started to vibrate again, while Irene was almost losing her mind since no one was answering.

Martin hesitated for a moment, but he eventually answered it.

Before he could tell Irene that Lulu was asleep and could not take the call, Irene quickly cried from the other end, "Why are you only answering now, Lulu?! I must have called you dozens of times— Zachary is flying back today, and he's definitely coming to you. You need to find a way to avoid him."

"Hello? Lulu? Are you listening?!" Irene asked.

"She's asleep,” Martin said then.

Irene was speechless, almost suffering a breakdown right then—did she just cause them trouble?!

"Don't worry,” Martin assured her nonetheless. "I know about Zachary and I'll handle it."

Irene was actually not sure how to respond, so Martin chuckled. "Lulu kept her phone on silent while she slept. I wanted to give it to her, but I decided against it since she's still sleeping.”

“It's alright.” Irene could tell that he cared a lot about Lulu, and she was definitely too impulsive in saying so much because she did not hear her.

"Do you have any other messages you'd like me to pass to her, or are you going to call back later?" Martin asked.

“I's fine," Irene replied. "Though I know Zachary, and he'll be coming straight for your house.”

"Understood."

"Have you fully recovered yet?" Irene asked just then.

“I'm more or less fine now... Now that you mentioned it, I should thank you for saving me. I heard from Lulu that the doctor you sent operated on me."

Martin was grateful, and he knew that Irene only helped because of Lulu.

Moreover, Irene had called urgently about Zachary because she was worried Zachary would affect Martin's life with Lulu.

And to assure Irene, Martin said, “Lulu wouldn't have chosen me if she held any sentiment about the past, and I trust her.”
