Chapter 935
The Runaway Groom Chapter 935
Zachary gave Irene a puzzled look. “What are you getting nervous about?1 “Am I?” Irene asked in
return, denying it.
“Don’t you think so?’ Zachary retorted, staring closely at her. “You’re hiding something from me, aren’t
you?”
Irene averted her eyes again. “What would I hide from you? Honestly…”
Even so, Zachary had noticed that she was always being evasive around him.
He just wanted to ask what it was, and her reactions only made it more puzzling!
Zachary pondered then, but it was clear that her reaction was from guilt.
But guilt from what?
His gaze turning serious, he said, “You asked me if I liked children. Could it be-”
“Could it be what?” Irene quickly cut him short and changed the subject.” Don’t you think Isaac is in
danger? I’m so worried.”
Zachary grabbed her arm then. “Don’t try to change the subject, Irene. Look into my eyes and tell me-is
Lulu’s child actually mine?”
He had been to New Kent, and as he searched his memory, he remembered seeing Lulu on a certain
night.
And the dates matched.
Irene feignedposure nheless. “What are you thinking? There’s no way her child is yours.”
“I’ve been to New Kent, and the dates match,” Zachary said urgently but confidently. ’There’s no way
you’d ask me if I like children for no reason- no, there is a point, and you were trying to test me, weren’t
you?”
“I was just asking,” Irene muttered. “You’re being delusional.”
“In that case, I could just ask Lulu to confirm-’
“No, you can’t!’ Irene eximed right then.
“Why not?” Zachary asked in return. “Lulu would have nothing to fear if her child didn’t mind.”
“You’d be affecting her fresh start!’ Irene snapped “And Martin has proved himself to be an
understanding man. Do you think Lulu would’ve been happy if you met some petty man?!”
Then, before Zachary could say a thing, she added, “Do you know why I was in New Kent?”
“Because Lulu was giving birth.” Zachary replied.
“Well, yes, but not entirely,” Irene said. “If Lulu was just going intobor, I wouldn’t have returned with
Isaac still missing. I had to go back nheless because Martin took a bullet to the chest, near his
heart. He was hanging by a thread, and Lulu went into prematurebor because of that and delivered
the baby before I arrived.”
“However, I heard that she was refusing to deliver the baby and insisted that she would die if Martin
did. Look, Zachary-I don’t know if Lulu really loves Martin, but he’s a good man and her life is fine.
Please don’t bother her.”
Zachary turned quiet even as Irene watched him, and she continued, “It’s better to just y dumb
instead of demanding to know. Let her go, so that you could feel better too.”
Ignorance was indeed bliss, and knowing changed nothing.

But all Zachary could think was that Irene is indirectly saying that Lulu’s child was his.
He pursed his lips, and suddenly leaned forward, arching his back and holding his head between his
palms.
Irene gingerly patted his back. “Lovees in different forms. Letting go is one of them.”
Zachary looked at her darkly and asked, “Would you be willing to let go if Isaac fell for another
woman?”
