Chapter 1024Chapter 1024
Zachary seemed to read Erin’s thoughts and said, "My baby was born under perfectly normal
circumstances. Do not let your imagination run wild."
Erin blinked her large eyes at him. "What about the mother?"
Everyone was left speechless, since most of them knew about Zachary and Lulu.
Zachary was at a loss too, but he insisted, "My baby was born unto me and someone I loved. You don't
have to question that."
He was not lying-he and Lulu were definitely in love with each other, and that could never be refuted
even if they did not end up together.
However, Erin was clearly doubtful, convinced that Zachary was a playboy.
Irene quickly changed the subject. "Erin, where's everyone staying?"
Erin smiled. "We've already arranged for a place."
"Thanks for going through the trouble-you and James." Irene smiled.
Still, Erin pulled Irene just then, whispering, "James has been restless. He wants to get back to work,
and I know that he's worried about how things are over there. However, my father told us that we're not
exactly young-he wants us to get married soon and for me to move abroad with James. That's why the
wedding is a little rushed."
"That's good," Irene replied. "We wanted to do it before, but it was delayed. It's fortunate that your bond
with James is strong and you're now going to stay with him forever. I'm happy for you, and you can tellJames not to worry about work-he should recover first, and Isaac still has Stan for now."
Erin sighed. "There's no helping it. James is just a workaholic, so he's really restless and
uncomfortable when he's told not to do anything."
"It's a habit." Irene smiled. "There's no helping it."
They got into the convoy of cars arranged for them and headed to the duplex where they were
arranged to stay.
It was owned by Mick Gooding, and staying at a private property was more convenient since they had
too many people to keep an eye on at the hotel. Moreover, they had everything prepared for them.
"You can rest here for now," Erin said. "My dad has already reserved a place for dinner. Take a break
and settle down, and then we'll come to get you later."
"Okay," Irene replied.
"Aren't you staying with us, Aunt Erin?" Tommy asked, pressing himself against the door.
He still loved Erin, who always played with him.
Erin walked over to pat his little head. "No, I'm not."
"Well, where are you staying?" Tommy asked, rearing his head.
"With my daddy, just like you're staying with your parents, Tommy," Erin replied.
Tommy blinked but said, "Okay."
"I have all the time to play with you later," Erin said, tousling his hair. "Okay?""Okay," Tommy replied, nodding-he did not know, and was uncertain if Erin would come good on her
promise to play with him.
Erin wanted to leave, but seeing that James was still chatting with Zachary and Isaac, she refrained
from disturbing them. Picking up Tommy and giving him a whirl, she found him a little heavy. "Oh,
you're heavy-are you getting fatter?"
Tommy looked at his belly. "No.”
Erin stood in front of him and measured. "Then you're taller."
Tommy was a little tall compared to children of his age, all thanks to Sheryl and Mrs. Watson, who
raised him so well- especially when it came to feeding him.
Pointing at Isaac in the distance, Tommy said, "I will be taller than him."
