The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1137

Lulu stared at the man before her in shock-given what he revealed, did that mean Zachary already knew who she was but just did not show it?

She panicked at that and did her best to quell her frantic thoughts.

She had to keep pretending if she wanted to stay here right beside Star. It was the only way she could keep caring for Star, as she could not stay if her cover was blown. And she would do it, whether Zachary knew or otherwise!

"I've been married before," she said as she wolfed down her food. "I hate being tied down and men."

Ken sighed. "Birds of the same feather really do flock together. The way you both are being tsundere are identical."

"Don't joke around about something like that," Lulu snapped sternly.

"But I wasn't joking," Ken replied.

That was when Star started bawling, and Lulu did not hesitate to put everything down to run to her.

Since Star's skin was fair, the redness around her eyes were apparent whenever she cried, and Lulu wiped away her tears while picking her up.

"Oh, Star. Are you hungry?" Lulu asked, and brought a bottle she prepared earlier.

As Star stopped crying after having her fill, Ken entered and picked up a rattle to play with her.

"Hey Star, your godfather is here to visit."

Lulu then watched in surprise as Star's little lips split into a wide smile, leaking plenty of milk.

"So you recognize me! I'm so happy." Ken nodded in approval, while Lulu wiped Star's mouth.

After filling her stomach, Star was especially spirited, flailing her little limbs after Lulu put her on the carpet, excited for no particular reason.

She would reach out to take whichever toy Ken held out to her.

He was about to leave when a video call from Zachary arrived, and Ken paused just to click his tongue audibly.

Zachary ignored him and kept his eyes on Lulu. "Ms. Jones."

Lulu, however, kept her distance and

stood in a corner as she spoke. "Don't worry, Mr. Slate. Star's already slepotwice, and I've taken her for a stroll in the garden." S

Zachary quickly realized that she was reluctant to speak or look at him, and so; tried to replace a topic.

Ken rolled his eyes-the man was so eager to please his woman that he would use his best friend like a tool!

"Hurry up I don't have much time," Zachary urged, even shooting Ken a look.

Ken was speechless. He was definitely a tool!

But while tools were lifeless, he was alive!

Still, he took the phone voluntarily and aimed the camera at Lulu, grumbling, "Use me as much as you want, why don't you."

Star suddenly pouted, looking ready to cry-perhaps wanting to be carried or someone to play with.

Lulu quickly scooped Star up in her arms.
