Vivian certainly came prepared, even flashing a gloating smile. "Why did you call the cops? Did something happen? Did you lose something?"Even as she smiled, Lulu had to restrain herself. Like Zachary, she was afraid to push Vivian too far, since Vivian could hurt Star. Instead, she would leave all her grievances until after Star was found.However, the officers at Zachary's mansion interrogated Vivian too since she was at the mansion when Star went missing. "What were you doing around 7.30 PM?""I left to have dinner," Vivian replied calmly."Did you notice anything unusual? Did you have line of sight to the baby's crib?""No, taking care of the baby is her job." Vivian pointed at Lulu, smiling. "Oh, so you lost the baby? It's over for you, Wendy Jones—Mr. Slate will punish you for this."Lulu restrained herself against Vivian's gloating, whereas the cops kept interrogating Vivian, their tone menacing. "Are you sure you saw nothing?"Vivian felt a hint of panic but pointed a

Vivian actually felt uncomfortable from Lulu's stare and averted her eyes as she kept trying to slander Lulu in front of Zachary. "You can't let her stay, Mr. Slate. She's so irresponsible!"Zachary glanced at Vivian with a subtly murderous glare, growling slowly and clearly, "I won't hold back."Vivian flinched for some reason when she saw the look on his eyes.Why was he giving her such a cold, scary look?Still, she quickly assured herself that it was meant for Wendy and not herself."You will leave when Star is found," Zachary said just then."As I should," Lulu said.Vivian was convinced she succeeded thanks to their tacit agreement, and she excused herself to go to the washroom.There, she told her accomplice to bring Star to the nearest precinct—she could not hold on to Star forever anyway, and just having Zachary chase Wendy away was enough.She knew that Zachary would have her head if he knew she was the one who kidnapped Star, and whatever would happen to Lulu would

Even at this juncture, Vivian was bent on foolishly shifting the blame to Lulu. Grabbing Zachary's arm frantically, Vivian cried, "Wendy must have planned all this, Mr. Slate. Just arrest her—everything will be fine after."Zachary had enough before she could finish and kicked her to the floor, leaving her looking up at him in disbelief even as she clutched her belly. "Mr. Slate…"Zachary refused to speak another word to her and passed Star to Lulu. "Go to the car. I'll deal with this."Lulu held Star firmly in her arms as she nodded repeatedly. "Okay."Vivian was left staring blankly—why would Zachary still trust Wendy now?"Mr. Slate, Wendy was the one who lost your baby!" she cried. "How could you still trust her? You're putting Star in danger!"Zachary completely ignored her, however, and went in the precinct to speak with the officers inside.He could no longer abide with Vivian after what she did to Star, even if Star turned out to be fine. There was no forgiving Vivian
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1156
Lulu sat by Star's crib as Star slept quietly, feeling troubled even as she stared at Star's peaceful little cheeks.She wanted to stay with Star as she grew up—to watch her take her first steps, learn to talk, go to school… eventually becoming an adult and building a happy life of her own.That was the only way she would find comfort, but now… As she gently caressed Star's cheek, she mused, "How much longer can I still take care of you?"Star would eventually grow up and not need anyone to take care of her, and Lulu only had that much time by her side.Still, Lulu smiled. "But I'm satisfied being at your side now. Anything else can wait until later."-Time passed unhurriedly.With Vivian gone, Lulu's life with Star was calm and peaceful.However, Ken Dawson would come by occasionally, saying that Zachary sent him to check on Star. After all, Zachary stopped watching the security cameras since he could guess Lulu would be uncomfortable and had Ken take pictures instead."He

Zachary chuckled self-deprecatingly as he chugged, his voice soft and slow. "Can't you consider giving Star a complete family?""I can't face her," Lulu replied.She was refusing knowing that she and Zachary could never reconcile.She had been through too much, just as she would not be able to accept being attached to Zachary again.Twirling her glass, she said, "I really loved Martin."Zachary's face turned pale, knowing that Lulu did fall in love with Martin York.Martin had been a man worthy of entrusting one's life to, and Zachary had offered them his blessing before.But Martin was gone now…"I wasn't with him for long, but the days were good and comforting," Lulu continued. "Those days were my happiest, so what I did was wrong. I shouldn't have fought him, or he wouldn't have taken that dangerous mission if he didn't want to keep his distance. He would be alive…""Things happen, and life and death are predestined. It's not your fault," Zachary said.Lulu looked up at hi

Zachary said, "Finish it."Lulu looked up at him in turn to find his eyes red, seemingly drunk but not exactly.She chugged her glass again and frowned as Zachary filled her glass again.Picking up his own, he asked, "Cheers?"Lulu cooperatively clinked glasses with him, and he said, "Please be honest with me. Do you really not have any feelings for me?'Lulu appeared weirded out for a moment but soon calmed down and replied determinedly, "No.""You're…"'You're so heartless.'Zachary's heart hurt so much that it felt like being stabbed, and he almost blurted his thoughts.Instead, he held back and rose to his feet, wobbling as if drunk. "I wanted to have a heart-to-heart with you, but you just can't be honest… I'm going to bed."With that, he started toward his room, only to knock into the corner of the table as he moved and almost tripped.Lulu went up, intending to help him to his feet, but soon realized that doing that would make things even more awkward.She held back,
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1159
When Lulu returned inside the mansion with Star, Zachary was having his breakfast by the table, seemingly calm knowing that Lulu was not leaving.And he did not look up when she entered, as if he did not sense her presence.Pulling out a chair to sit opposite him, she wanted to speak but was left hesitating.When Zachary was about to finish, she asked, "When you get married, could you give Star to me?"Zachary had thought she would come around and try to make their relationship work for Star's sake.Her idea certainly caught him off guard!As he slowly looked up, she quickly explained, "It's for your own good. Having a child is a burden, while I have my bias since I don't think any stepmother would treat Star well. You're still young, and you could still have more children, but not me. I know it's unfair to say that—""Dream on. I'm never marrying, and I'm never abandoning Star," Zachary growled as he got up and held out his hands. "Give her to me."When Lulu hesitated, Zachary

Lulu certainly preferred to have Star in the room as she slept, though she slept very soundly.When she woke up, Star was not in the room, and she headed outside to find that Zachary had carried her to the living room.Lulu did not interfere and headed to the kitchen.Zachary noticed and said, "I've ordered takeout, so you don't have to cook."Lulu stood in the distance as she asked, "When did Star wake up?""A while ago," Zachary replied.Lulu pursed her lips. "Why didn't you wake her up?""You were sleeping soundly." Zachary returned her gaze, his tone businesslike. "It'd be difficult if you have to do chores while caring for Star. Should I give you a raise?"His words would sound like he really was just rewarding her… if he had no idea who she really was.But he knew she was Lulu, and his offer was straight-up harassment.Even so, Lulu calmly replied, "Sure."Zachary felt like he was punching cotton—it was boring how apathetic she was.Still, Lulu soon felt uncomfortable
