    The Runaway Groom Chapter 999


    Zachary then asked, “Isn’t Lulu your friend? Aren’t you going to ask after her?”


    Irene shot him a look. “She’s having it better than me, with Martin taking care of her.’


    In fact, Irene felt like things were a mess for her right now.


    There was no telling how Isaac’s treatment was going, and he was not letting her visit.


    Eyes were so important to humans, after all, which left her with a nagging worry even though the doctors


    imed that the condition was treatable.


    Zachary could not deny what she was saying either.


    Irene turned toward him and asked, “Finally giving up?”


    Zachary reclined against his seat, looking nonchnt as he softly muttered, “Yeah.’


    “That just means you have nothing tying you down when you find someone you like,” she told him.


    Zachary chuckled, however, suddenly finding love pointless.


    Once things changed, it would simply not feel the same way again.


    Irene watched his despondent reaction in return. ’As long as you understand.”


    Zachary said nonchntly, “Love is pointless.’


    Irene was speechless, while their car returned to Zachary’s mansion.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    That was when Irene saw from the distance that someone was being restrained just as Zachary’s phone


    rang.


    He looked up after listening to it and saw that Barzel had returned.


    He frowned slightly, wondering if the boy had spent all the money he gave and came to ask for more.


    Soon, the car stopped, and Irene turned toward him.


    Zachary said, “Take Tommy inside. I’ll handle this.”


    Irene nodded, since she did not have the strength to get involved in others’ troubles.


    She alighted while holding Tommy’s hand.


    Barzel suddenly smiled when he saw the boy, but Zachary moved to block him out of view. ’Did you


    spend all your money?’


    “No,” Barzel said and handed Zachary a stack of notes. “Actually, I found a job.”


    Zachary frowned. ’So soon?”


    Barzel shrugged, saying earnestly, “That’s the money for the hotel room after I’ve checked out.’


    Staring closely at him, Zachary asked, “Where are you staying, then?”


    “My workce has lodgingings,” Barzel replied.


    Zachary studied him for seconds-he certainly had pride at a young age. Taking back the money, he told


    the boy, “Juste back if you need more.” “But you don’t trust me at all,” Barzel replied. “Won’t I trouble


    you,ing here?’


    “If you knew that, why did youe here?” Zachary shot back.


    “Would I find you if I didn’t?”


    Zachary raised his brow. “Don’t evere here if it’s not important.”


    Barzel red at him with a boyish stubbornness but said nothing else as he turned to leave.


    Zachary watched as he left, thinking to himself that he would not even have bothered if Barzel’s parents


    did not save Isaac.


    It was obvious that Barzel was quite the rebellious child!


    Zachary headed back inside his house, and the instant he did, he heard Tommyining, “Mommy,


    you said you’d keep mepany! Why am I studying Zidonian and poems?”


    “What else would we do? Do you think you can survive without Zidonian?’ Irene asked in return.


    “Why poems?” Tommy asked grumpily.


    “Because it’s traditional. Surely you have to know that much when you’re an adult,” Irene replied.


    Zachary had had enough just then-opening the door, he leaned on the doorway and said, “Why are you


    pushing him? He’s just a kid.”
