The Runaway Groom Chapter 1170
There was a knock on his door—it could only be Lulu since there was no one else.Zachary quickly composed himself, straightening his clothes before opening the door.To no surprise, Lulu was standing outside, impassive, just like a babysitter paid to take care of Star.Even her tone was formal. "I've cooked something. You can have it if you like, Mr. Slate."Zachary did not want to be upset, but it hurt to see Lulu being distant.Restraining his flaring emotions, he said quietly, "I'm not hungry. Don't bother me if there's nothing else."He slammed the door shut with a bang, leaving Lulu surprised.She did not want to bother him since he was in a bad mood and started to leave.But when she did, the door opened. Zachary snapped when she saw that she was going to leave, "Do I have to die before you understand I can feel hurt too, Lulu?"Lulu stopped and turned back, asking in bemusement, "Do you have to sink that low? Do you have to like some woman who was married and has been w

Lulu believed that Zachary was not in his right mind, and therefore did not think about what he said—maybe he would come around after one night.However, Zachary pursed his lips. "I guess you don't know me.""And do you know me?" Lulu shot back. "You wouldn't complicate things if you did. What's wrong with you being my employer, and me staying as Star's babysitter? Do you have to make things so awkward—""I get it," Zachary suddenly said."What did you get?" Lulu asked."You'd understand soon enough," he said meaningfully and closed the door.This time, he did not open it.Lulu was surprised, but she did not bother over it much.Even if she was moved by Zachary's affection, she had to be cold.She and Zachary could not go back now, and she could not get over herself.What was broken would always be broken, and the cracks showed even if mended.Zachary was probably obsessed just because things ended badly between them.But would they really be happy together?Would he be re

"Alright, I'm hanging up now," Ken said and slipped his phone into his pocket before heading inside to pick up Star.Lulu could only watch as he did, her knuckles clenched as she restrained herself.Eventually, she asked softly, "Where are you taking Star? What does Zachary want?"Ken turned to look at her. "Why don't you just give in?"While Lulu stayed speechless, he carried Star out of the house. "Don't worry. I'll take good care of her."Lulu started to follow him. "I'm coming too. I can help.""You can't follow me," Ken said. "Zachary can't carry out his plan if you leave.""His plan?" Lulu's heart skipped a beat. "What more does he want? Does he still not get it?""Well, duh." Ken shrugged. "Neither of you are making sense to me, honestly. What's bugging you so much that you have to do everything the hard way?"Lulu simply lowered her head in silence.Ken rolled his eyes. "Fine, I'll have my say. All you need to do is say yes, and Star would have a family. What's stoppi

The woman Zachary brought had permed hair and wore a black miniskirt that bared her fair, slender legs.She was an ordinarily attractive hooker, and Lulu turned away with just one look.That was when Zachary asked, "How many men have you been with? I'll sleep with as many women, and then we're square."Lulu turned toward him in shock. "Are you crazy?""I just want us to be equal." Zachary shrugged. "You think we're not, don't you?"Lulu's lips twitched, but she could not say a thing.She did think that, but it was against her will—how could she do this?"I won't change my mind whatever you do," she said, turning away. "Do whatever you like."Zachary stared at her for several beats. "Fine."He took the woman to his room.Seeing that he was serious, Lulu ultimately gave in. "What's the point of being mean to yourself?""What are you talking about? She's smoking hot," Zachary retorted with a twinkle in his eye. "And she's just the first of many. I'd even have a new girl every d
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1174
The stalemate lasted for an hour—Lulu never left the room.Zachary then paid the woman to leave.It was an easy day for her, not having to spread her legs or abide with men who had strange fetishes.Smiling as she took the money, she said, "You can come to me again if you have another job like this."Zachary stayed silent, so she tactfully left with her money.Having worked the streets, she had met and dealt with many rich people, but she also knew her place!In the end, she understood that the rich would never be really interested aside from a fumble, and she had no Cinderella dreams.After all, Cinderella was a maiden while she had nothing, and society was very pragmatic that way.All she would dream of was to save money and marry a down-to-earth man.-Knock, knock…Lulu had no idea why she was crying, just as she had no idea her cheeks were wet.Knock, knock…She finally answered the door.Zachary saw her tear-drenched face but saw her cold look before he could reach

Lulu flinched by instinct even as she felt the coolness over her chest, but she could not hope to win against a man's brute strength.As Zachary pinned her down, she struggled at first and eventually gave up, staring numbly at the ceiling while Zachary did whatever he wanted.If she closed her eyes, she would remember those moments…Terrified, she clenched her jaw, almost clawing through the sheets unwittingly.She told herself to stay calm, that the man was her baby's father and a man she once loved deeply—not those scum!Zachary in turn did his best, stopping in gradual disappointment.Whatever he did, she refused to respond to him at all."Do you feel nothing for me?"Lulu turned to him. "Don't you think I'm dirty?""I don't," Zachary replied.Lulu pursed her lips sardonically. "You really never had women, have you? You're an insult to other men, getting interested in broken goods like me."Zachary pursed his lips too.He could still taste her on his lips—it was a sweetn

Lulu continued, "I was kissed as many times as I was bitten—every scar is a reminder of what happened, and I can't forget. It's a nightmare that would haunt me for the rest of my life, so do you want that pain too? You'll see all the scars on me that would remind you of what happened to me. Do you really not mind that at all? Doesn't it make you think? Stop lying to yourself, Zachary… You're only human."Zachary's eyes were red, and he gulped as he asked, "Did I look like I hate it?"Lulu paused before retorting, "You're just overcome by lust.""If that's what you think, so be it." Zachary shrugged, holding her chin. "I lust for you, and I want you—is that not enough? If you don't want a relationship, so be it. Lust it is."Lulu closed her eyes. "Fine. Just bring Star back here."She had already made herself very clear, and she could not do anything if he still refused to give up. Perhaps he would get bored of her in time and come to understand his own heart.She turned and pic

"That still doesn't mean she can do it," Zachary retorted even as he tickled Star. "Mommy will go bald if you keep pulling her hair, and you won't get to see her pretty side when you get older."Lulu said nothing and headed to the kitchen just to avoid any intimacy with Zachary."You don't have to cook," he said. "Let's eat out.""Yeah," Lulu replied, keeping her back to him.Though she had been distant when she returned, Zachary was not pushy—he was sure that Lulu would understand in time, and would feel again.Walking up to Lulu, he passed Star back to her. "Carry her. I'll drive."Even as Lulu took Star, she avoided skinship with Zachary.She then packed diapers and milk from the nursery—it was necessary to bring truckloads of necessities while going outside with a baby.In fact, she had a full backpack while holding Star in her arms as she stepped out to the car and took the backseat deliberately.Zachary glanced at her from the rearview mirror but said nothing as he drove
