The Runaway Groom Chapter 1105
The more Lulu cared about Star, the more Vivian found her to be a threat.Nonetheless, Lulu said, "I'm a professional child care worker Mr. Slate hired. Just leave the baby to me, you can stay with Mr. Slate—"Before she could finish, however, Vivian had grabbed her hand!Raising a brow, she said, "I have experience with my cousin's children, and you look like you haven't had dinner. Why don't you go out for some food?"And with that, both of them stood in place in a stalemate.Still, before Vivian could press the issue, Zachary appeared behind them. "What are you doing?"Star was still crying, while both women were standing in place as if frozen still."Mr. Slate!" Vivian was promptly smiling. "I just came in to check since the baby started crying, and she might be sick or something."Lulu seized the moment to free herself from Vivian's grasp and backed away.She promptly came up with an excuse to leave, saying, "Mr. Slate, she just need her diaper changed—""What a coincide

Zachary handily took a tissue off the table and wiped his lips.He glanced at the clock—it was already 11 PM.However, Star was crying terribly, especially after Vivian came into the room.As Lulu said, his baby needed a diaper change, after which she had to be coaxed to sleep.Zachary frowned and turned awkwardly toward Lulu right then. He would like her to stay, not to mention that they had agreed to it earlier so that she could better take care of Star.He just did not know how to put it in words, especially if he would upset her if he said it out loud.Lulu could tell from his eyes that he was troubled.In reality, she was willing to stay—in fact, she would do anything for her baby. On the other hand, Vivian put on her professional smile when she saw Zachary space out. "Mr. Slate?"As Vivian finally left Star's room, Lulu briskly changed Star's diapers when Zachary suddenly said, "Ms. Jones, could you stay the night to take care of Star? The guest room is already cleaned,

Lulu gently rocked Star after placing her in her cradle.There was serenity in the nursery, and Lulu wished time could stop just then.-In contrast to that serenity, the air around Zachary was ice cold.He and Vivian were in his study. The room only had one bookshelf, while a desk was placed in the center."You didn't come just to bring me food, did you?" he asked.She might be his assistant, but she had no reason to meddle with his personal time. He could also see that she was constantly probing Wendy Jones, using the many baby products she brought as an excuse to visit.However, he did not want to expose her in front of Wendy either.As Vivian stood opposite him and saw the coolness in his eyes, she was suddenly panicking, unsure as to how she aroused Zachary's suspicion. Things were just fine during dinner, but he suspected her now?!"Mr. Slate," she said earnestly, inadvertently keeping her head down to hide the savagery in her eyes from him. "I was just worried—you did

It was too late for Zachary to leave by the time he noticed the movement in the nursery, and Lulu promptly caught him outside. "Are you drinking, Mr. Slate?" she asked when she spotted him.Caught in the act, Zachary realized that he was holding a beer when he frantically looked for something from his fridge."Oh, I was looking for milk… The beer was getting in the way," he said, quickly putting the beer away.When he looked up again, Lulu was gone, but before he could wonder, he picked up the scent of milk."Here, Mr. Slate," she said, bypassing him to reach the milk.She must have moved it when she rearranged the fridge, and it was not surprising he did not find it immediately.He took it and suddenly asked, "Do you want some, Ms. Jones?"It was still cold, and she liked cool drinks, especially chilled milk.Now, however, she was averse to cold food because of her health.Things changed.She inadvertently looked up at Zachary's eyes and found the probing look in his eyes.

Zachary waved her off. "It's fine—it's not a small house, and you can't take care of Star while cleaning up.""Yes, Mr. Slate," Lulu replied. "I was just helping Star wean today."Lulu then showed him the soup, eggs, and vegetable juice she prepared. "It's time for her to move on to solid food, and it takes getting used to."Zachary nodded after tasting everything. Though he did not do his homework on this, he trusted Lulu."I'm not worried about your work, but don't you think it'd get boring?" Zachary asked, concerned about nutrition.Lulu nodded—she had already thought about it. "We're just starting to wean her, so we should introduce her to one type of food before starting another. That would make it easier to check the type of food she is used to, or if there are any allergies."Zachary felt he had to reevaluate her just then. She had studied extensively and knew almost everything."You really are attentive," he said. "Just give me a shout if there's any issue."Lulu then s

Vivian frowned in disgust at Lulu. She was Zachary's assistant, while a mere babysitter spoke to her in this manner?Still, seeing that the baby was really crying, Vivian kept her voice down.As for Star, she might have been startled, but Lulu's coaxing calmed her considerably. She stopped crying in Lulu's arms, her little eyes still damp with tears.Lulu affectionately wiped her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief before finally turning toward Vivian. "Don't you know how to knock? Or do assistants not know basic manners?"Lulu thought Vivian would at least show composure as a person who followed Zachary around, and Lulu was left questioning how Vivian got hired in the first place given her behavior just now."You… I'm sorry. I'll be more careful next time."Vivian was ready to hit Lulu even as she lectured her but decided that she could not afford to leave a bad impression on Zachary.Though she appeared to yield, she still felt contempt toward Lulu nonetheless. Lulu pursed he

Putting everything into a diaper bag, Lulu carried Star over to Vivian, whose legs grew sore from waiting.She thought Lulu would work fast, but she was dragging her feet!Vivian could not help doubting Lulu's competence just then."Let's go," she said, ready to leave when Lulu stopped her."Hold on. You take this," Lulu gestured at the stroller, since she had to carry Star and the diaper bag.Vivian had no choice but to stay behind Lulu as she wheeled the stroller along, her eyes filled with contempt as she glared at Lulu.Shaking her hair off her shoulders, she muttered under her breath, "I'll let you have this. I'll make you pay soon enough!"She was standing there in stilettos, and the babysitter had to make her wait for so long!Meanwhile, Lulu got into the backseat as soon as she got in. After Vivian put the stroller in the backseat and found Lulu sitting where she sat, she clenched her knuckles and muttered under her breath, "Fine, you win this time!"To think a mere

A woman was thrashing a scrawny girl who appeared to be a Monsoon contractor and afraid to fight back."It's all your fault! I'm suing Monsoon! Oh, my poor baby… Someone call an ambulance!" It happened out of the blue, and the other Monsoon employees could barely understand what was happening.Still, it hurt Lulu to see the baby vomiting constantly, and she walked toward them without knowing."Hey! Where are you going?!" Vivian snapped, finally noticing that Lulu was not following her and instead going toward the commotion!This was not the time for that, just as Vivian immediately got the feeling that Lulu was a bumpkin who would gossip whenever she could. However, she had no idea that clients here were either rich or important and that she could not afford to provoke any of them!Lulu, however, remained deaf to Vivian's calls and pushed Star along as she reached the gathered crowd. "Excuse me, could you please let me through?" she asked, urgently wanting to see what was wro
