The Runaway Groom

Lulu lowered her head, brushing against Zachary when she entered, while her handbag caught a corner of the towel. While Zachary was left speechless, Lulu turned and saw.

"I, uh..." Zachary quickly wrapped the towel around himself again as he explained, "Your handbag caught my towel. So..." Lulu ran off frantically, grabbed her phone before running out of Zachary's mansion without opening her eyes. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

In Zachary's perspective, she was fleeing.

"It's not like I'm naked..." he muttered, although he was blushing up to his ear.

On the other hand, Lulu kept running for a long while before stopping.

"Oh, I slipped up... Well, at least he won't be there tomorrow."

It was no big deal, but she just found the situation and the vibes strange.

As she calmed down, she wondered if she had overreacted.

She was a babysitter, and he was her employer...

She turned on her laptop and saw an email invitation to a Franconian nutritional association forum to exchange childcare experiences.

She always read such emails and recorded everything, while occasionally offering her input.

She sat for a long while, and her hip was sore by the time it was over.

Stretching her back, she was going to take a shower when her phone jingled with a notification.

She picked up her phone to see a text from Irene.

[Isaac and I are coming back.]

[That's good. When?]

Lulu replied instantly, while Irene and Isaac traded glances on their flight.

She flashed a sly smile and quickly typed: [In a couple days.]

Lulu suspected nothing. [Got it. I don't know if I could make time to receive you, though.]

[You don't have to.]

"I'm going now," Zachary said when everything was done.

Lulu nodded, her gaze evasive.

"I'll be keeping my phone with me constantly," Zachary added.

"Okay, thank you."

Zachary actually had more to say but kept quiet as he left.

Lulu looked on as he drove away and closed the door.

It was just her in the mansion now.

She made sure to feed Star first before cooking herself a quick meal.

However, she did not have more than a few bites when Star began to cry.

"Oh, baby. What's wrong?"

Lulu was concerned-Star would not usually bawl like that.

However, she was just fine even as she felt her little forehead. Ding-dong!

The doorbell rang just then, and Lulu had no choice but to answer it.

She did a double take when she saw who it was.

"What are you doing here, Irene?"

Lulu never expected her and Isaac to

Irene winked at her. "I missed you, so I wanted to surprise you."

Lulu snorted. "Surprise or jumpscare?"

Ignoring her, Irene craned her neck to look inside. "Where's Zachary?"

"Not here," Lulu replied.

"Where did he go?" Irene asked.
