The Runaway Groom Chapter 982
Zachary felt a little awkward—to be precise, he felt too embarrassed to start.After all, he was well aware that coming unannounced would cause trouble for both Martin and Lulu, and that he would be imposing.Still, it takes one man to know another, and Martin turned toward Zachary just then. "You want to see the baby, don't you?"While Zachary appeared taken aback, Martin said, "I understand that you're no stalker and that you wouldn't have wished us well in Cloud City if you really wanted to cause trouble for us."Pausing for a moment, Martin then continued, "I understand how you feel, but I also hope you understand—Jean may be your baby, but most of all, she's Lulu's. I won't allow you to take Jean away from Lulu… Unless Lulu gives her to you willingly."Martin knew very well that Lulu would refuse after carrying Jean around in her belly for ten months.There was a blood tie that bound mother and daughter now, and there was no way it could be severed at the drop of a hand.Ev

Lulu stared at Martin. "Are you trying to test me?"Martin tousled her hair. "Don't think of it like that. You can be friends even if you're not into him now. There's no need to treat him like the enemy since you made his acquaintance, refusing to meet him at all. I don't mind it either—I trust you."Lulu pouted. "I know you do, but I don't trust myself. Who knows, I might go with him if he starts to tempt me with sweet words…"Martin suddenly wrapped his arms around her and kissed her ferociously.He knew she was joking, but he was still very much afraid that she would leave him.He held her so tightly as if to make them fuse together. After a long while, Lulu said, "You should take Jean downstairs."She believed it impossible that people could stay friends after break-ups, since she disliked confronting the past.Caressing Martin's firm cheeks just then, she said, "I only need you in my life now." "You don't want Jean?" Martin asked.Lulu paused just then. "He wants Jean?

"Yes, she is," Martin said.He was watching Jean too, and he was certain she would grow up to be like Lulu—a woman of loyalty and sentiment. Once she was willing to help a person, she would even be willing to put her life on the line.How could someone like that not be loved?"Well, I guess you're just luckier than I am." Zachary sighed as he handed Jean back to Martin then, since he could not carry Jean off no matter how much he wanted. Martin did not deny it. After some thought, Zachary whipped out a debit card—financial support was about the only thing he could do for her now. "Here. It's for the little one."Martin did not reject it since it was for Jean and he had no right to decide for her.He would keep it and give it to her when she was older, telling her that she had the freedom to choose.Likewise, she had the right to know her real father, as well as the right to choose her life!Zachary was actually impressed by Martin's composure and generosity, and he decided

Zachary's voice was quiet but there was no hiding that quiver in it. "If you don't, I can't promise I won't get physical."Martin actually understood where Zachary was coming from, but there was no way he would surrender Lulu.Heaving a long sigh, he chugged both shots, while Zachary poured himself another and chugged it too.He slammed the shot glass down heavily, smacking his lips and saying, "Wow, this burns."In fact, the taste of the alcohol was so hot it burned him in the lungs!Martin poured him another. "It does pack a punch."Zachary looked up at him, frowning. "And you're still drinking?" Martin poured himself another as he said, "You have fine tastes. Very sweet, even.""Are you talking about the drink?" Zachary stared at him meaningfully then."Was that what you're asking?" Martin asked in return, smiling.There was no telling what either of them meant, but they chuckled as their eyes met.Picking up a shot glass and clinking it with Martin's, Zachary said, "I g

Martin did not even ask Lulu's permission.She struggled. "What's gotten into you… Umph!"It hurt very much for the first time, and her nails were digging into his arm…-Martin left her consciousness turning dull, and she eventually could not even make a sound.It hurt below the waist, and she had no idea when she blacked out and fell asleep, let alone how she returned to their room.Martin had her against the wall, the door, the floor… but his touch was cold and distant!She tried to push him away but could not—he would only go harder if she resisted, and she eventually did not dare to resist. Then, she heard Jean cry, but he refused to let her go.Jean eventually stopped crying, while Lulu eventually felt something warm and damp over herself.As she opened her eyes, she found Martin wiping her down.Her expression was cool as she slapped his hand off and got up.She felt a tearing sensation as she did and frowned.Martin's fingers clenched on his warm towel as he looke

James shook his head. "No, it doesn't.""You're lying," Erin snapped. Her heart could break just then.Irene was a doctor, but she could not help much there.They had already sent James to the hospital for treatment and checkup, and he just needed time to recover."Come on in," Irene urged Erin again.James was still standing outside and talking to everyone when he could take the time to rest!Erin nodded and gingerly helped James walk, though he felt reluctant but had no choice either, since she was really caring.He was just a little not used to Erin treating him like a child, but she was hurt in her heart to notice James was uncomfortable. After they got in their room, Erin had him get in bed.He tried to make her sit, but she shook her head. "Just lie down and wait. I'm going to cook something for you in the kitchen, and get some ribs to make soup with—""Erin," he said, cutting her short. He looked at her eyes, and seeing genuine concern as well as worry, he ultimatel

Irene was talking to Isaac, and she stopped when she heard knocking and opened the door. "Erin…""I was thinking about getting some ribs, but I don't know where to go," Erin said. "Do you?"Irene did not, but she had an idea.She told Eagle to get back to the castle and had Pierre do it—he was the type who can help with anything with their daily life.Come to think of it, having the man around did make life easier. "I'll go too," Erin said, wanting to pick the ingredients herself for her soup."Okay," Irene replied. "You can go with Eagle."Erin smiled and nodded, but before she turned to leave, she remembered something and glanced at Irene. "Isaac's eyes…""We were just talking about that," Irene said. Erin was very concerned about James, but she did not forget about Irene either. "Now that James is back, my brother's eyes can't wait."Irene knew that too. "Yeah."With that, Erin left to look for Eagle while Irene closed the door and turned toward Isaac. "Did you hear tha

That was the first time Lulu had been so upset with or around him.As Martin stayed silent, she sat up and stared at him. "What was the point? Why did you do that to me?! Who did you think I was?! I'm your wife!"At the time, she felt no tenderness from him at all—he was as rough as he was savage.He was never like that, since he would always care about how she felt no matter how passionate they got before.He never made her uncomfortable, and that was why she could let loose around him.But this time, she just could not understand. So many questions crossed her mind—did he stop cherishing her just because he had her now?She was convinced that he was not like that. But she could not come up with any other reason… Hold on. Suddenly remembering Zachary then, she wondered if he had said something that left Martin agitated. No, that had to be it! Martin would not treat her like this otherwise!And yet, Martin knew about her past…It left her even confused and agitated be
