The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1077

Lulu frowned after she tapped on the address—she was quite familiarwith the place since she used to meet Zachary there!

Still, she took a moment to calm down and replied: [Okay!]

Over in Franconia, Irene was still more or less concerned after her callwith Lulu. After all, Lulu had gone through multiple surgeries withoutproper recovery, so Irene was worried her body could not take it!Isaac had arrived home just then and was left frowning when he foundIrene distracted. "What is it?"

"You're early,” Irene replied, coming to her senses.

“I'm done with work," Isaac replied, his gaze flickering just then—hecould not tell her that he would like to spend more time with her nowthat she was back, could he?

Pierre came up to them, asking, "Dinner is ready, sir. Shall we startserving?"

"Yeah," Isaac said and put an arm around Irene’s shoulders as theyheaded to the dining hall.

"Did you come back early because of me?" Irene suddenly asked.Isaac was tsundere as ever. "I just finished work early.”

Irene smiled. "Really?"

"What's there to lie about?" he said, turning away.

Irene pursed her lips and did not expose him as they sat down."Here, eat," Isaac said, putting food on her plate.

As she ate, he said, "After this, I'm checking if you're skinnier after yourtime in Minerva.”

Irene flushed immediately and snapped softly, “I'm not!"

She kept eating, though she was looking around in fear that someoneelse had overheard.

Thankfully, Sheryl and the children were not at home!

Back at Zidonia, Lulu was seated primply at the window seat—it washer favorite spot where she could watch the people walking past.

It felt as if she had traveled back in time to a more carefree period ofher life!

Eventually, noon arrived, and a robust figure arrived at the doorway."Two coffees, please!" he ordered and turned, spacing out for amoment when he saw the figure sitting by the window.

That person seemed to strongly resemble another person from hismemory!

"Lulu..."

Zachary's hands were shaking even as he slowly moved toward her.Could it be her? No way! How could it be? Was it not over betweenthem?

"Hello, Mr. Slate.” Lulu finally turned and greeted him when they werejust a few feet away. "Weren't we going to have a discussion? Please,feel free to tell me anything.”

She pointed to the chair in front of hers, showing the propriety of a childcare worker.

On the other hand, Zachary felt a moment of awkwardness as he losthis composure in front of her.

He cleared his throat and smoothly sat down, though he paused againwhen he did—the coffees were his and Lulu's favorite!

“I don't know what you like, so I asked for the waiter'srecommendation.” Lulu smiled faintly. “I'm not sure if you'd like it."
