Chapter 511


    Chapter 511


    Ricky asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "Lulu would never run away, and the fact that she''s missing might be proof enough that she''s being


    held against her will...or hurt!"


    Irene suspected that Lulu''s disappearance was connected to the tes and the Lindts, especially since


    Ember was no angel! Lulu was alone.


    If she really was captured or hurt...


    Irene did not even want to think about it, even as her chest felt stuffy from worry.


    What should they do? Isaac agreed with Irene—an adult would not go missing for no reason.


    It could only mean that she was hurt or held against her will.


    Still, he patted Irene gently on the back "Calm down.I''ll help you look."


    When Irene looked up at him, her eyes were basically saying, ''Why did you not get involved earlier?"


    However, she could not fault him because he had no obligation to do so, but she felt flustered at the


    thought that Lulu might be in danger.


    As she lost her cool, Ricky could see the question in her eyes andined right away, "I tried to


    consult Mr.Jefferson here, but he refused to see me."


    To him, Isaac was no longer his brother-inw—just ''Mr.Jefferson''.


    It just showed what he thought of Isaac now.


    Left speechless for a while, Isaac finally began.


    "Irene..."


    "I know."


    Irene beat him to it.


    "This isn''t your fault."


    She only had herself to me for leaving over a misunderstanding in her rtionship.


    If she had still been around, Lulu could have asked her, and things would not be this mad.Her thoughts


    were a mess and she needed time to calm down.


    Still, she had to start somewhere.

    "Ricky, no more drinking.


    Pull yourself together now—I might need your help soon."


    "Sure."


    Ricky nodded.


    Irene still could not calm down on the way home.


    She told Isaac, "Did you know that Ember Lindt was the one behind those nderous banners at her


    own wedding?"


    She paused for a moment as her tone soon turned into one of contempt.


    "No one would ever suspect her when she''s the bride, but the same can''t be said of Lulu.


    She''d be prime suspect as Zachary''s ex—even without evidence, everyone can easily be convinced


    that she got jealous and tried to sabotage their wedding.


    "You don''t have to dwell on it."


    Isaac reached out a hand to hold hers, his thumb brushing over her skin.


    "Ember is the key."


    His words jolted her, as if waking her from a dream!


    "It must be her!"


    Irene eximed, seeminglying to an understanding right then.


    "Ember must''ve been jealous of Lulu and Zachary, and framed Lulu so that she appeared to be the


    culprit for her miscarriage.That way, Zachary would misunderstand Lulu, and then she would have no


    trouble hurrying Lulu!"


    It was not as if Irene wanted to think the worst of Ember, but seeing one of her vile deeds was enough


    for her to lump Ember with every viin she knew.


    And the more she thought about it, the more she realized that it must be true.


    Isaac, however, only found the whole thing a pain and asked earnestly, "Irene, you''re pregnant.Could


    you not get so obsessed over this?"


    Tren‘s eyes welled with tears.


    "But Lulu is my best friend."


    How could she not care?


    "This isn''t as difficult as it looks.Just leave it to me," Isaac told her.


    Irene looked at him then and pursed her lips.


    "Thank you."


    Isaac was once again speechless and heaved a sigh, though he did not insist that she did not have to


    thank him.


    It seems that she had trouble getting into the role of his wife, and it was perhaps time to give her a


    sense of belonging.


    While the thought crossed Isaac''s mind, the baby in Irene''s belly kicked, perhaps sensing their


    mother''s restlessness.


    She leaned against her seat and spread her palms over her belly.


    Thinking that she was feeling ufortable, Isaac asked worriedly, "What''s wrong?"


    Irene took his hand and put it on her belly too.


    Seemingly sensing their father, the baby kicked as hard as it could, hitting Isaac squarely on the palm.


    He stiffened—this was not the first time he was going to be a dad, but it was the first time he felt a baby


    kick.


    Excited, he moved the car to the curb, intending on stopping to get a proper feel...


    when the car behind cut across his and blocked him right then! Isaac had to jam his foot on the brakes,


    and Irene''s head almost hit the windshield from inertia.


    "Are you alright?"


    Isaac checked on her immediately.


    Irene was startled, but recovered soon enough and said, "I''m alright."


    Someone got out of the other car just then and when Isaac looked up to see who it was, his face


    darkened!
