The Runaway Groom Chapter 1095
Lulu stared warily at the woman. "You're the maid from before, aren't you?"She did not let down her guard even though she recognized Erma—why would Erma return after she was gone?Moreover, considering how impatiently Erma treated her baby, Lulu's expression became stern as well. "Didn't Mr. Slate tell you not to come anymore? What are you doing here?""Hello, miss," Erma said fawningly. "May I ask for your name? And you don't look that old… Others might think you're the mother with your pretty face—""Shut up!" Lulu suddenly snapped, cutting Erma short.She was surprised by her own reaction, despite knowing that Erma's flattery was exaggerated. Nonetheless, she calmed down, realizing she had lost her composure there."This is my employer's baby. Why would she be related to me?" Lulu demanded, rearing her head. "I was an hired employee like you, and if you have a problem, take it up with Mr. Slate—not me!"She more or less understood from Erma's fawning that Erma wanted her t

Erma started bawling right then. "Please, I'm begging you! I really can't lose this job, or my family would die! We're all employees—from now on, you take care of the baby, and I'll take care of the housework! Can't we make this work?!"As the occasional people who passed by stared at them, Lulu took a deep breath and stopped struggling.Looking down at the hysterical Erma, she asked, "Could you stop embarrassing yourself? This is where Mr. Slate lives—the people living around this apartment are either rich or powerful. Are you sure you want to keep this up?"Erma did a double take at that, and Lulu promptly seized the moment to pull her leg out of Erma's grasp.Seemingly startled, Luna started bawling in her arms, and Lulu promptly patted her back, coaxing, "It's alright, it's alright!"Once Luna quieted down, she turned around toward Erma."I'd encourage you not to do this, since Mr. Slate would never suffer the likes of you. Don't hope that I'll get a good word in for you eith

Erma looked sharp, but she could not even persuade that babysitter?"If words don't work, pay her!" Vivian snapped.Zachary had hired that woman as a babysitter anyway, and she was probably not that rich!"Pay… her?" Erma stammered. "But where would I have the money?""What…" Vivian choked and had to take a deep breath to calm down. "Go talk to her again tonight, and name a price within thirty grand. Once you come to an agreement, I'll wire her the money!"Thirty grand! Erma was delighted to hear the number and nodded repeatedly. "Okay, okay—don't worry, I'll find her again!"She was delighted even as she hung up. Others notwithstanding, if Vivian did pay her that much, she might be able to siphon off some of it.Hence, ignoring the curious looks others were giving her, she hurried towards the gates—if she recalled correctly, there was a nearby store for baby products. That babysitter must have gone there!-At that shop, a store assistant promptly approached Lulu when she

While the store assistant was away, Erma returned.Dropping to a crouch and grabbing Lulu's leg, she cried, "Please, lady! I'm begging you—let me keep working for Mr. Slate! I promise not to mess up!"Many people outside were quickly drawn by the commotion, and upon seeing the plainly-dressed woman crouching on the floor, they were immediately in an uproar!"What is this, bullying?""No way. Carrying a baby?""Should we record this and post it online?"Sensing danger, Lulu promptly lowered her head, glared into Erma's flustered eyes, and cleared her throat. "Look—Mr. Slate will be leaving work soon. I'll call him and talk about your situation, and I won't argue if he agrees to take you back!"People would misunderstand if they kept tussling and causing a scene!And as soon as Lulu was finished, Erma briskly rose to her feet, grinning ear-to-ear. "Thank you, lady! Don't worry—as long as Mr. Slate is willing to meet me, I won't bother you ever again!"Just then, the store assist

"Bleurgh…" Luna twitched and reached out to grasp Lulu's hair with her tiny hand!"It's alright." Lulu could not help smiling when she saw that and turned back to Zachary. "It's alright, Mr. Slate—we're right outside the apartment compound. I'd like to take Luna out for a stroll, and I'll just walk inside."While neither Zachary nor Lulu were looking at Erma, Erma started to reach for Lulu.Lulu took a step forward just then and stayed out of her grasp by chance!Zachary reacted right then, grabbing Erma's wrist and shoving her aside, almost knocking her off her feet.He glared icily at her, leaving her petrified!"Your severance fee has been paid," he growled. "So I don't want to see you near this place ever again. Do you understand?"His intimidating glare left Erma petrified and hanging her head in fear.And with that warning, Zachary strode into the apartment himself.-Meanwhile, Lulu had already brought Luna back to the apartment, feeling curious even as she opened the

Luna was awake.After being taken out for a stroll, she was excitedly flailing her stubby arms, looking utterly adorable.An almost imperceptible tenderness showed on Zachary's face as he looked at Luna. "You're that happy, huh?"Lulu handed him Luna's bottle just then, and he started feeding the baby.The baby must be hungry, too—she started to claw at the bottle when she felt it, her tiny pink lips searching for the nipple."Ms. Jones, is there anything to take note of while feeding babies?" Zachary suddenly asked as he turned.Luna was smiling at Luna, pausing for a moment when her gaze met Zachary's before going to work."Here!" she said as she demonstrated it to him. "Since Luna's quite happy staying in bed, you don't have to pick her up. But you also have to be careful, since she could choke easily if she's in the wrong posture."Zachary quietly watched her working so delicately, just as she smiled when Luna started drinking eagerly when she reached the nipple."Well don

There was a deeper meaning, and it was quite good. With everything changing, it meant Lulu had severed her ties to the past. Zachary would not have seen the child either nor remembered the times before…"Hngh…"Star had just finished her milk and was sweating over her forehead.Seeing the empty bottle, Lulu smiled and wiped Star's sweat. "She's such a glutton, but it's proof that it's healthy since she really needs the nutrients now!"As she picked up the baby and played with her a little, Star's eyes started drooping—babies get sleepy easily."Star…" Lulu murmured just then.Zachary looked on and said nothing as he turned to leave the room.He had left work early but did not have the time to eat.When he was thinking about getting something to eat from the kitchen, Lulu had already tucked Star back inside her cradle. After some thought, Lulu headed into the kitchen. "Is there something you'd like to eat?""Yeah. I didn't work late today, but I didn't eat outside either,"
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1102
After Vivian laid out all the food on the table, she got a bowl from the kitchen and poured in the chicken soup herself, saying, "I ordered the chicken myself from a farm. It's the type fed with proper grains and never locked in coops. Chickens reared like that are the best! Some of it was used at the cafeteria, but since you didn't eat, the soup has cooled, so I made another bowl for you after I got home! Also, I saw the beef from the nearby market looked fresh, so I cooked it too. Why don't you try and see if you like it?"Zachary took a seat as Vivian continued to fawn over him, looking neutral and accepting of everything she was doing.He actually felt repulsed but did not show it.Instead, he subtly glanced at Lulu, who stood there, unmoved.Feeling a little frustrated just then, he turned coolly toward the finely cut beef which was stir-fried with peppers. It was steaming since it was just cooked and looked perfectly fine, but Zachary simply did not feel an appetite!On the
