The Runaway Groom

Chapter 152

“Yeah,” Lulu said. “Zachary told his blind date that I’m his girlfriend. The woman felt like she had been swindled, and called Zachary’s mother right then and there. It was such a mess…‘

Irene could actually imagine the scene just then!

“And what happened after that? Why were you at Zachary’s place? Did you talk things out?” Irene asked. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Lulu was quiet for a while before finally saying, “He knows.”

Irene actually thought it was for the best. “You two are still in love anyway. He must be even more reluctant to break up now that he knows, right? You have no idea how depressed he has been lately– he actually drinks himself silly every day, and he must have lost a few pounds. It hurts to see him like that, don’t you agree?”

As a matter of fact, Lulu did.

Zachary had always had a sunny personality, and it hurt her to see him so depressed.

Even so, Zachary’s mother would hate her more after what happened. His mother had already been dissatisfied with her modest family before, and would now find her untrustworthy for breaking her promise.

After all, Lulu had promised to leave Zachary, but now she was back at his side. It was obvious. how grievous that situation was for her.

Still, Irene held her hand and assured her, “It’s fine. Relationships mend, and with Zachary being understanding and protecting you, I’m sure his mother would see your virtues as well ”

Lulu, however, was not that optimistic–the look on the face of Zachary’s mother had been terrible.

“Actually, I think everything is much better now.” Irene pressed on. “You’re now back with. Zachary, and you can face this trail together. When you shouldered everything alone, it was hurting you both, but now, Zachary isn’t hurting anymore. Even if his mother is standing in your way, I’m sure he’ll work hard to resolve that.”

Now that things had come to this, Lulu had to agree.

“I hope things will improve from here,” she sighed lengthily.

“Yeah. Let me get you my pajamas–you should go get a warm shower in the meantime.” Irene headed off to her room to do so, before taking her to the room Mrs. Watson prepared.

The mansion was large, and the guest room had its own shower.

“I don’t have new pajamas—you won’t mind, right?” Irene asked with a smile.

“You used to wear mine anyway. It’s all the same…” Lulu said. “Thanks, Irene. I feel much better after talking to you–you should get some rest. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Irene was worried, however. “I’ll stay with you.”

Lulu then remembered something, and could not help asking then, “By the way, about the man who came to Zachary’s house with you–is that Tommy’s father?”

Irene shook her head and said feebly, “If only it was him.”

“Eh? Why would you say that?” Lulu was confused.

“Isaac Jefferson is my husband,” she said quietly. “But I had Tommy from an affair…”

Lulu sighed, understanding just then that Irene’s situation was much more complicated than hers. “Then does he know about Tommy? Doesn’t he care?”

Irene sat feebly beside the bed—it was precisely what she was worried about.

“I… I never thought about a life with Isaac before, but after a while…”

“You’ve fallen for him?” Lulu asked, though it was more a confident statement than a question.

Irene nodded earnestly. “It’s unexpected, even to me…”

“Not really,” Lulu said. “I’ve never met him, but I can see from his appearance alone that girls go crazy for him. Being young and rich, he just has to be a little nice to a gal for her to be head. over heels for him.”

Irene could not refute her point..

Although Irene used to prioritize inner beauty over appearances, it turned out that she was only human–she certainly admired Isaac’s gorgeous looks, falling for him just because he was a little nice, even forgetting the horrible things he had done to her.
