Chapter 423
On the floor, Ricky was lying on his back. His bath towel–which must have loosened from his waist–
was just covering his privates.
Lulu was standing at the living room, a glass of water in hand as she stared impassively at him.
Sheryl was nearby as well, gaping at Ricky in shock
Irene was speechless.
What was going on here?!
Nonetheless, a resounding scream soon followed, and she had to cover Tommy’s ears.
“Aaarrrggghhh!!!”
Ricky’s fair buttcheeks were bare even as he held his towel against his groin as he fled. Bang!
The door was shut so loudly that Tommy jumped in surprise.
Irene stood at the stairway and looked downstairs, asking, “What happened there?”
Lulu calmly drank her glass of water before telling her.
“He came out of the shower with just a towel around his waist, and asked me for water since he saw
me drinking. He wasn’t watching where he was going while he drank, and knocked into the table,
tripped, and fell, breaking the glass…”
Irene was at a loss for words–Lulu cared more about the glass, and not whether Ricky was hurt?
“Ricky has been kind to you. You should show some concern,” Irene told her.
With Zachary married, there was no chance for Lulu to be with him now.
On the other hand, even though Ricky was younger than Lulu, he really liked her… and a relationship
might not even be out of the question, and the fact that Ricky inherited his mother’s good looks was a
plus.
Lulu could tell that Irene was trying to get them together and really wanted to roll her eyes at her friend.
“Dream on.”
Irene blinked. “What’s wrong with Ricky?”
“I’m older than him, and you want me to become your sister–in–law?”
Sheryl could not help chuckling. “Age isn’t an issue. All that matters is that you both like each other.”
While Lulu was left speechless, Irene chimed in, “Hear, hear…”
“Quit it. Also, I’m not into him,” Lulu growled. “I have to go now.”
Irene headed downstairs while still carrying Tommy. “I’m just kidding. Don’t get so upset.”
“I’m not. Look, I’m a little worried that Ricky would catch me blushing.” Lulu said. “And I still have a job,
y’know.”
Irene understood that, and passed Tommy to Sheryl. “I’m going to the station with Lulu.”
“Okay,” Sheryl replied, and Irene left with Lulu to the high speed–rail station–Lulu had booked her
tickets online beforehand.
Along the way, Irene asked Lulu, “Do you hate Zachary?”
“No,” Lulu replied–after they had weathered so much and still failed to stay together, it was just a sign
that it was not meant to be.
As such, there was no way to beat herself over it and give herself grief.
Smiling at Irene, she said, “I’ll do my best to keep on living. Don’t worry.”
Irene nodded, when Lulu suddenly said, “Actually, you don’t look well recently yourself, Irene. Is Isaac
cheating on you?”
Irene quickly shook her head. “No… I’m just getting worn out from work.”
“Alright, but take good care of yourself. Don’t wear yourself out so much you end up looking like a
granny in your thirties.” Lulu warned.
Irene rubbed her cheeks. “Do I look that bad?”
“Yup,” Lulu replied shortly.
Irene thought then that it was time she be careful, or she would hurt the child in her belly.
Her hand reached up her belly at the thought of the child–the timing of their arrival was certainly as
delightful as it was worrying.
It was delightful since she might realize Isaac’s hope for a daughter, but worrying because things were
strained between Isaac and herself.
“What’s wrong, Irene? Are you hungry?” Lulu asked, noticing what she was doing with her hand just
then.
Irene quickly removed her hand. “Nope.”
After seeing Lulu off, Irene headed to the grocery store. It was her day off, and she wanted some fresh
fruits as she took her break.
She alighted and paid the fare when she arrived, but before she headed inside, she saw Zachary’s car.
She wanted to go up and greet him, but it was Ember who alighted.
With her baseball cap and sunglasses, it was obvious she wanted to hide her face.
Irene stopped in her tracks, but decided it was nothing weird with Ember driving Zachary’s car now that
they were married.
She did not want to talk to Ember, so she kept a wide berth. However, just as she was about to enter
the grocery store through another doorway, she noticed that Ember was sneaking down to the
basement. parking lot instead.
Irene was puzzled–did she have an unmentionable secret?
Spurred by curiosity, she quietly tailed Ember, hiding behind a pillar when she spotted Ember meeting a
man!
