The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1103

Before Lulu could leave, Zachary turned and saw her, calling out, "Ms.Jones!"

As Lulu paused, he slowly wiped his mouth with a tissue and pointed atLulu while telling Vivian, "I haven't introduced you—she's the newbabysitter I hired."

Vivian was just about to put more food on Zachary's plate, and shestraightened right then. "Babysitter? I see..."

There was nothing wrong with her tone, but Lulu felt hostility the instanttheir eyes met!

“This is my assistant, Vivian!" Zachary continued just then.

Lulu did not react, even smiling cheerfully since she knew when to keepher distance. "Nice to meet you. I'm the childcare worker Mr. Slate hiredfor his baby."

“You're quite young, I'm surprised you'd be a childcare worker. Youmust be impressive since Mr. Slate would hire you himself," Vivian said,probing her with a smile and flattery. "Mr. Slate always had a good eye,and there must be something about you that sets you apart. I hope youcan take good care of his baby!"

"Also..." She walked up, eagerly taking Lulu's hand and picking up thehuge bag she brought, opening it and revealing a large amount ofchildcare products. “I brought a lot of stuff for the baby. Check them outand see if there's anything unsuitable. Just tell me, and I'll buy ittomorrow!"

Seeing that Lulu was left a little dumbstruck, she smiled and promptlypicked up a baby food steamer, which she then placed on the table.“This one is imported—you can't usually get it locally, but I heard it'ssafe and easy to use. I had to queue up for it!"

Zachary walked toward them and shot Vivian an impatient glare."Thank you. Send me the bill later. I'll claim it for you as expenses."“No way! You've taken such good care of me, I'm not so ungrateful thatI'd ask to claim for something like this!" Vivian exclaimed, waving himoff, before moving on to the baby clothes. "It's been hot lately, so it'd bebetter to have more clothes prepared for the baby. I've asked a friend tobuy this from abroad—the material is perfect, and the baby would bevery comfortable!"

"Also, there are some children’s toys, designed expressly for their age.It's better than ordinary toys, and you can let your baby play withthese!"

As she continued to pull a pile of things from the bags, Lulu more orless read her mind by then.

Zachary could tell as well, could he not? Why else would the woman beso enthusiastic?

However, he did not reject Vivian.

Did this mean...

Still, it made sense he would want to settle down—Lulu only hoped thatshe would have more time staying with Star.

Suddenly, Vivian grabbed Lulu's hand while beaming. “You must takegood care of Mr. Slate's baby. Just tell me if you need anything—Mr.Slate is busy, so he can't help much!"

"Sure," Lulu replied, subtly pulling her hand away.

Despite having had enough of Vivian's enthusiasm, she forced a smile."Childcare is my field and that involves the tools applied. Mr. Slate alsoprovided me with a debit card so that I can get anything the baby needsby myself. I won't have to impose!"
