The Runaway Groom
Chapter 96

Chapter 96 Zachary's breaths turned ragged at the sound of thefamiliar voice. He tried to speak, but his throat was suddenly too dry todo

so. On the other end, Lulu thought Irene did not hear her, and called outLulu was stunned, but hung up at the next instant, holding her phone anSheryl was watching and could feel her tension, so she asked worriedly,aware that Isaac had taken Irene back to Cloud City, and simplypresumed that she was still under Harvey's custody.

Lulu could only shake her head.

“Well, what's wrong,”

Before she could finish, Lulu“s phone was ringing again.

This time, she simply stared at the flashing screen without answering. “\seemed to mess with her mind. Zachary was relentless-he would keepcalling if she did not answer.

After thinking about it for a while, Lulu answered, and Zachary promptlyLulu was silent for a while, before finally asking, “Is Irene alright?”

"I don't want to talk about her—

just answer me honestly, where are you right now?” Zachary askedurgently.

When Lulu did not respond, Zachary lost his composure. “You left withoa word! It's like you disappeared without a trace! I had to look for youeverywhere... Can't you at least say something for the sake of our relatitell me where you are!” Zachary's voice became louder in aggravation.“It was over the moment I decided to leave you,” Lulu said

quietly. “Can“t we just live our separate lives?”

“No!” Zachary was almost bellowing. “A relationship goes two ways! It'snot a dictatorship!”

Lulu was not

about to keep arguing, so she quickly changed the topic. “Irene is stillvery weak. You're with her, so take good care of her -"

“She has people tending to her-she doesn’t need

me at all.” Seeing her reluctance to say anything, Zachary snapped, “I'llagain, and you'll have my eternal spite!”

Lulu took a deep breath, but realized that she should at least saysomething because they

used to be together. “I'm in Sunny City.” Zachary was delighted to see hleave and head over

immediately.” “Fine,” Lulu replied. With that, Zachary saved her numberin his phone and returned the phone to Isaac

before rushing out of the hospital.

Meanwhile, Lulu returned inside the house to

replace Sheryl changing cloth diapers for Tommy. She was not using disposbecause she

believed them to be damp and stuffy. Even if cloth diapers needed washwere troublesome, Irene paid her expressly to take

good care of Tommy

He was Sheryl's

grandchild, and she would therefore do her best! Lulu approached her tlSheryl smiled. “What's wrong? Do you need something?” “Yes.” Luluadmitted to it right away. “I broke up with my boyfriend years ago, but hevery annoying. I'm going to tell him that I'm married and that Tommy is nto Irene alone in her mind, Sheryl also could see how close Irene waswith Lulu. Given the latter's care for Tommy and herself, she

certainly could help that much.

“Thank you.” Lulu smiled. “Hey, we should be thanking you

instead,” Sheryl replied politely. “I would've no idea what to do withmyself in this unfamiliar city.” “Alright, then let's not get too formal sincewe're no strangers,” Lulu said. “I need to leave for work later. Whatwould you like for dinner? I can get it on the way back...” “It's fine. Justfocus on your work—I'll just cook something for myself.” Sheryl was alltoo aware of how kind Lulu could be, but she did not want to impose.
