The Runaway Groom
’Yes, she really lost her memory.”
Zachary was very direct. “Please be nice to her and make up for your past mistakes.”
Mrs. Slate nodded. “I will-1 mean, I don’t have to worry about anyone taking the family estate now that
you’re in full control, let alone arrange your marriage. You have the power now, and of course I hope
you can be with the one you love.”
“And don’t mention anything about the best in front of her,” Zachary added.
Mrs. Slate nodded again. “I know.”
Lulu watched as they whispered to each other, her heart ice cold.
Were they trying to mess with her again?
She was fortunate that found out so much thanks to eavesdropping, or she would have suffered again
without ever knowing what hit her.
Zachary entered and started to help her wash some of the ingredients, but Lulu pushed him away,
forcing him to leave. “You don’t have to help. I’m doing just fine.”
’You just came. How can I leave you alone in the kitchen?” Zachary protested, feeling bad for her. “I
don’t want you to have to do everything…”
‘It’s really nothing much.” Lulu smiled. “Don’t get in the way, or maybe you don’t want to try my
cooking?”
“I do,” Zachary blurted.
“Then wait outside. I’m going to get upset if you keep hovering here,’ she said, pretending to look angry
just then.
Zachary was hence forced to leave the kitchen, while Mrs. Slate saw their exchange from the living
room.
She wanted Zachary to get himself a wife who could support him before- all her disapproval and dislike
toward Lulu was mostly because of her
family background and profession.
Now that she had calmed down and looked, Lulu would actually make a good housewife.
At the same time, Zachary stood just outside the kitchen, feeling as if he would marry Lulu soon
enough and enjoy a good life with her.
In fact, they should get married right now!
He was in a good mood, so he had quite the appetite as well and ate a lot that evening.
Since Lulu asked for her own room in the evening, Zachary naturally said yes since he could not force
her to stay with him.
However, Lulu felt no fear even as she sat in that unfamiliar room, and her eyes only showed a calm
staunchess.
Around midnight, Zachary was tossing and turning, unable to sleep from a stomach ache.
Mrs. Slate was making trips to and forth the washroom as well!
In fact, she was suffering from diarrhea, just like Zachary, and she had to relieve herself up to six times
in under an hour.
Eventually, Mrs. Slate was overwhelmed and she called the chauffeur to take her to the hospital.
Zachary stubbornly stayed home, and his misery continued to the next day, leaving him dehydrated
and lifeless!
Seeing the dark circles under his eyes and his face turning yellow, Lulu feigned surprise and asked,
“What happened?”
“I’m fine.” Zachary kept trying to tough it out.
Lulu feigned concern. “Do you need medicine?”
“No, I’m much better actually,” Zachary said.
Meanwhile, in Sunny City…
“Mr. Gooding? Several of our executives and heads of departments resigned at the same time.”
Harvey Gooding almost had a stroke when his assistant Enrique informed him about the crisis.
It was outrageous-he was just getting discharged, only to receive such terrible news!
“What is this? Why are they all resigning at the same time?! And don’t they have to pay US damages if
they do so without my approval?”
“About that…” Enrique said quietly, “it seems they’re willing to pay it. It seems that they agreed to it.
Some must be pulling the strings behind the scenes.”
Harvey snorted. “Isn’t that obvious? Who else could it be other than Isaac Jefferson?!”
“Actually, sir, while their departure also meant that many vital functions would be stalled, that’s not the
worst part. After all, most of them have control over our core businesses.”
Harvey huffed. “Get me a line to Isaac Jefferson right now!”
