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,

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

Zachary naturally wanted to make up with Lulu, but more than that, he wanted her to overcome her trauma and live positively.It was not necessary to suffer for the rest of one's life just because one had suffered once!However, Irene was cooking dinner at the kitchen in Franconia, since Erin Gooding was discharged and coming over. She left her phone in her room and was not within earshot.Meanwhile, Zachary was not one who easily gave up and tried three times.He had to give up for the moment at that point, just as he would not try to push Lulu too far to change her mind."I'm going out later. Take good care of Star," he told Lulu."Yeah," Lulu replied, refusing to breathe one more word than necessary.Zachary allowed his gaze to linger before leaving, while Lulu cleaned up the dining table.She was not feeling an appetite herself, and since things were getting out of hand, she decided to call Irene.Irene did not answer, and she gave up—she knew that Irene must be busy or m

Isaac certainly did not want his wife to work to the bone.James smiled. "We don't come by that often anyway.""It'd be worse if you do." Isaac snorted.Erin was thoroughly grateful, just as she knew that she had been imposing on Erin.Wrapping her hands around Irene's arm cutely, she said, "You can take my child as goddaughter if it's a girl in return, and if Irene doesn't dislike it."Isaac, however, felt stung—Erin had to mention the fact that he had two sons and no daughter."Are you sure it's a daughter?" he asked. "Who knows? You might end up with more sons than me."Erin was not upset—Isaac meant to upset her. "You're not jealous because you think I have a chance, are you?" she giggled.-However, it turned out that Erin really took it to heart and asked James to take her to the hospital after they left the castle."Didn't we just leave? Are you sick?"James was a little confused, and nervous at the thought that Erin was sick. "I'll take you there right now."As Ja

Irene blushed even as she placed her palm on Isaac's muscular chest and felt the searing sensation."Stop it." She pouted.Isaac was just teasing her and not actually going for it.Even though they were married and had two children together, she still acted like an innocent maiden—and he liked it.Wrapping his arms around her waist, he asked, "How does a trip to the Swishland with the boys sound? Once I'm not busy—And you were saying that you'd like to go skiing.""I do… And take in the ocean view and maple leaves," Irene murmured as she leaned against his chest.She turned to look at him with her bright, tender eyes that were clear as spring—her body seemed aglow from bliss.Isaac nuzzled her hair and her ear, his voice dulcet as he said, "I'll take you wherever you like, but…"As he trailed off, she kept looking at her eyes, grateful for his care and protection.This peace did not come easy after they had gone through so much.And now, they loved, cherished, and accommodate

Irene asked, "What do you plan to do?""Leave right away," Lulu replied. "But I can't bear to leave Star."Irene was not surprised by Lulu's dilemma—being a mother too, she knew how important her children were to her.As such, she would not voice her opinion when Lulu made up her mind. Lulu was an adult with her own mind on things, and Irene just had to help her when she needed it."Do you want me to talk to Zachary?" Irene asked."No," Lulu replied but turned silent for a while before continuing, "I'm calling you because he's told me, and things are really awkward between us right now.""I think he still wants to be with you," Irene said earnestly. "He's always been loyal to you."Lulu merely pursed her lips bitterly. "That only pressures me. I'd be happier if he were nasty."The better Zachary treated her, the less she would be able to overcome her mental hurdles to face him directly.Irene brushed her fingers through her hair. "You know him. He'd never hate you."And it wa

Isaac pinched her cheek. "You're only praising me now? What about other times?"Irene giggled again and pressed herself firmly against his chest. "I don't have to. I know too well you're the best to me and love me dearly.""It's late. Go to sleep," Isaac told her.However, Irene did not feel sleepy after everything, and Isaac noticed. "Can't sleep huh?"As Irene nodded honestly, Isaac said, "Let's go out.""Now?" Irene glanced at the clock—it was already midnight."This is where the fun begins. Get up—we're going," Isaac said, getting up.Irene was hesitant. "Is that really alright?" "What's the issue?" he asked as he picked her up. "Get dressed."Irene curled up reluctantly. "You're serious?""What do you think?" Isaac asked, raising a brow.Irene's playful side was invoked, since she had not gone out with him like this together.Getting out of bed, she said, "I've never had a nightlife. You'd better show me some fun."Isaac stared at her, sitting on the bed. "How, exact
