Martin quickly averted his eyes. "Nothing."Lulu certainly doubted that and reached out to turn his face so that he faced her directly. "Tell me. What was that about?"Martin came clean right then. "Well, you know who the father is. I won't mind if you want Jean to be named after him…"Lulu glowered right then and turned to leave the room.For some reason, her heart hurt. Martin followed her outside. "Are you upset?"Lulu kept her back to him. "No.""You are," Martin said, exposing her right then.Lulu said nothing to that and kept her gaze lowered.Martin walked up in turn and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist from behind, and he brushed his cheek against hers. "I misspoke. Please don't get angry, alright?"Lulu pursed her lips and turned to face him. "I'm not that cold, Martin. I know you've been good to me, so why would you mention him?""I was just trying to say that I'd respect whatever you decide on. I wasn't deliberately mentioning it to upset you," Martin ex
The Runaway Groom Chapter 966
As Martin's hands reached underneath her blouse, Lulu clearly felt the coarse skin on his fingers. There were thick calluses growing over his right index finger from frequently wielding a gun. And with every inch his fingers moved upward, she seemed to shudder more.Soon, her clothes were off, baring her fair, delicate skin.She retained her figure and remained slim despite her recent pregnancy, although her belly was still a little flabby. It has been little over a month since she gave birth, and she would not recover that quickly.Not wanting Martin to see it, she rested her hands over it.Martin sensed her intention but for him, loving someone meant loving every part of her—be it her strengths or shortcomings. They were all things he liked about her from his perspective. He touched her cheek gently and rasped, "I don't mind."Lulu refused to let go, however. "I…"Martin pulled her hands off then and leaned in to kiss her belly.Lulu bit her lip, and the rest was history

Lulu felt her head clearing right then and asked with a hoarse voice, "What time is it?""Ten," Martin replied. That late?!Lulu promptly got up to check on her daughter. But when she did so, her blanket slipped off and bore her naked form, leaving her taken aback.It was only then that she remembered what happened last night, and she blushed slightly.Martin draped her pajamas over her shoulders. "Get washed up. We'll eat together."Lulu nodded, and he got out of bed.His body was muscular. His chiseled pectorals and abdominals gave the sense of firmness and strength.And Lulu certainly experienced that it did not just look that way—he really was strong!Her cheeks burned even as scenes of last night played in her head. Never did she expect that she would unleash herself like this! She got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.She stood under the shower sprinkler and turned it on. Water gushed and started splashing over her, wetting her hair like seaweed over her fair sh

Martin said, "I'm fine with anything. You order what you like."Lulu smiled and lowered her gaze. "It seems that I have to pay more attention or I'd still know nothing of your preferences.""You have all the time in the world you need to learn about me." Martin grinned."Yeah," Lulu murmured, pursing her lips. In fact, she was both hopeful and expectant of the future. The peaceful life she wanted was right in front of her, and it was both worth remembering and cherished!As they waited for their food, Lulu rested her chin on her hand and stared at Martin as he sat opposite.She was staring so intently that a big man like him got embarrassed and averted his gaze."You actually can get shy, Martin?" she asked, smiling when Martin said nothing. Their food soon arrived, but Martin's phone rang while they ate. He picked it up, responded a couple times to what the other end said, and hung up.Lulu put a shrimp on this plate while asking, "Who was that?""I have to stop by the p

Lulu said nothing and simply held her glass as she stared at Martin. "When did you start liking guessing games? And I'd never guess it.""I was not given a case at the precinct," Martin said then. "I was given a reward for my brave actions."He waved an envelope at her and handed it to her. "For you."Lulu opened it to find three grand sitting inside. But for men like Martin, money mattered less than carrying their honors. And Lulu knew all too well that Martin earned his with his life."How could you give this to me?" she asked.Martin checked on Jean who lay in bed and reached out to stroke her tender cheeks. "All that I have is yours."Lulu smiled."By the way, shouldn't you call Irene?" Martin told her then. "Ricky will be sentenced in a few days. Even if he had committed many crimes, they might reduce his jail time since he helped us apprehend a major ringleader."As Lulu's smile faded slightly, Martin looked up. "Just enjoy your own life. Worry less about others."

Irene cleared her throat, uncomfortable from Zachary's stare. She brushed past him, asking, "What's with that look?""What did she call to say?" Zachary asked in return, his gaze still sharp as if to read something from her face!"It's about Ricky," Irene simply admitted. Zachary pursed his lips. "You visited him already, didn't you? He's your stepbrother. How could you be so cold?"Irene remained unmoved. "I won't change a thing even if I went, and I'm needed here."With Isaac away, she had to keep watch of their children!Moreover, she just saw a reply on her forum about a Minervan optometrist. It was alleged that he was the best in the world, and she wanted to make further inquiries and make an appointment."If you're not going, I will," Zachary said and turned immediately, striding out of the room.Irene promptly caught him, asking sternly, "What is this? What are you doing?""I did the math," he replied. "Lulu's baby would be at least two months old, and she should be
The Runaway Groom Chapter 971
Zachary did not argue the point since Lulu was the baby's mother."If you say so. Come on, just let me go already." Irene frowned—he was clearly saying what she wanted to hear, and he would not hesitate to go looking for Lulu."I won't let you go." Irene's attitude was definitive, and she ignored Zachary's howls this time, closing the door behind her as she left.Naturally, Zachary was not about to give up. Even when bound, he kept yelling for Irene until the whole house found out that Eagle tied him up!As Tommy and Sheryl entered the study, Tommy had his palm over his little mouth as he giggled, while Sheryl was speechless!"You're all adults! What are you doing?"Zachary quickly tried to play the sympathy card. "Please talk to Irene. She's really throwing her weight around the house with Isaac away."Sheryl frowned. "Is she really being so unreasonable?"Seeing that Sheryl was almost persuaded, Eagle spoke up. "Mrs. Jefferson wouldn't tie him up for no reason." Sheryl th

Irene came to a realization right then. "Tommy did that?"Still, she soon realized that only a child would do something so nonsensical."Let me go already!" Zachary urged."Swear you won't go looking for Lulu and I will," Irene said."I swear..."Irene undid the hair knots while waiting for him to swear it… but that was all he said.Speechless for a moment, she said, "Swear it.""I just did," Zachary replied, holding her gaze.Irene said nothing, and rose to her feet. "You can keep enjoying the couch, I guess!""You women are troublesome." Zachary sighed feebly."Lulu is a woman too. Why would you like her so much?" Irene asked in return.Zachary was at a loss for words and frowned. "Fine, I give in—I really can't beat you in an argument. I swear I won't go looking for Lulu, or…"Irene stared at him. "Or, what?" Zachary pursed his lips. "I'd choke on my food and drown from drinking…""What's that supposed to mean? Can't you be more direct?" Irene pointed out."Do I have
