The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1099

“Bleurgh..." Luna twitched and reached out to grasp Lulu's hair with hertiny hand!

“It's alright.” Lulu could not help smiling when she saw that and turnedback to Zachary. "It's alright, Mr. Slate—we're right outside theapartment compound. I'd like to take Luna out for a stroll, and I'll justwalk inside."

While neither Zachary nor Lulu were looking at Erma, Erma started toreach for Lulu.

Lulu took a step forward just then and stayed out of her grasp bychance!

Zachary reacted right then, grabbing Erma'’s wrist and shoving heraside, almost knocking her off her feet.

He glared icily at her, leaving her petrified!

"Your severance fee has been paid,” he growled. "So I don't want tosee you near this place ever again. Do you understand?"

His intimidating glare left Erma petrified and hanging her head in fear.And with that warning, Zachary strode into the apartment himself.Meanwhile, Lulu had already brought Luna back to the apartment,feeling curious even as she opened the door.

"Weird..." she mused to herself. "Doesn't he usually work late into thenight? He came back really early today..."

Just then, the door opened again with a click, and the warm glow fromwithin spilled out.

Lulu put aside the new clothes she just bought before putting Luna inher cradle.

"Good girl," she said with a smile, poking Luna's little cheeks. "Let's getyou some milk!"

There were many tins of baby formula though the last one was finished.The door opened with a click again when she arrived at the living roomwith the baby bottle, and she saw Zachary returning.

"Mr. Slate," she greeted him with a professional smile.

He glanced at her briefly before turning away. “It's already time to feedLuna?"

"Yes," she replied, hanging up the suit he took off and left on the couch.At the same time, Zachary looked around to see that the house hadbeen cleaned, and he said, "I'll get a new housemaid in a couple days."With that, he turned and started to head for Luna's room.

"Actually..." Lulu suddenly said behind him, still holding Luna's bottle."What?" Zachary turned at the doorway of Luna's bedroom,straightening when he saw that Lulu appeared hesitant. "You can speakfreely.”

Lulu frowned, her fingers tightening around the baby bottle as she said,“If I'm allowed, I'd like to cook your baby's meals."

Before Zachary could speak, Lulu added, "As a professional child careworker, I've been trained in cooking proper nutritious meals for children.If you're hiring a maid, you can leave the housework to her, while I'llhandle everything for your child, should I have your confidence.”Babies should start weaning around four months after birth, and beforeshe returned to the country, Lulu had researched all the safe foodproducts across the country. Now, she had an idea of what she shouldcook.

"That's good," Zachary said, nodding and appearing delighted. "You area professional like you said—I have nothing to worry about by leavingLuna's care to you."

Then, after another long look at her, Zachary turned and headed intoLuna's room.
