The Runaway Groom Chapter 1039

Chapter 1039Chapter 1039
Tommy blinked his large eyes hopefully at Isaac, hoping for Isaac's acknowledgment.
Isaac bit off a chunk, chewed, and seriously commented," It's alright."
Tommy blinked, but it was a praise, was it not?
He giggled before running off, skipping.
Irene smiled as she watched Tommy being so happy.
Bzzt...
Her phone started to ring in her pocket, and she picked it up to answer.
A man asked, "You're Lulu's best friend, right?"
It was a familiar voice-lrene recognized him as one of the members of Martin York's squad, back when
she met up with Lulu at New Kent.
"Yes. Why do you have her phone? Where is she?" Irene replied, sharply noticing that something went
wrong.
It should be Lulu talking if she was asking for her. So why was it this man instead?
"Lulu was hurt-"
Irene sprang to her feet right then and asked urgently, "What happened?! How did she get hurt?! Is it
serious?!"The man was quiet for a moment before saying, "It is a little serious, but her life isn't in danger, so
there's nothing to worry about."
Irene was just slightly relieved. "How is she now?"
"It doesn't look good..." The man stammered.
Irene frowned. "Just be out with it."
The man sighed. "Come over if you have the time. I would like you to sit her down and talk to her."
Irene had a hunch. "Was she doing it because of Martin?"
"That's one of the reasons, but it's not all," the man said. "It's alright if you're busy. We'll do our best to
take care of her."
Irene thought about it-she was willing to go, but she would at least need a few days to bring her two
sons home first.
"Give me a few days," she told the man.
"Okay," he replied.
As Irene hung up, Isaac asked, "What happened? That's a bad look on your face."
Irene took a moment to ease herself.
"It's nothing," she said as she lay down and leaned against his shoulder again. "It's Lulu."
Isaac had a hunch, while Irene hesitated before asking," When are we going back?"
Isaac turned to look in her eyes. "Whenever you say the word."Irene held her hand and lowered her gaze, hesitating and sighing. "I thought Lulu found happiness with
Martin, but I guess no one ever predicts what comes next."
Resting her chin on his shoulder and looking up at him, she said, "Let's go back to Franconia as soon
as we can!"
"Okay," Isaac replied.
Irene happily hugged his waist in turn. "You're so wonderful."
She really cherished everyone around her, especially Isaac.
After going through so much, the peace at this moment was very rare.
"You two! Snuggling up and doing nothing is outrageous, don't you think?" Zachary came up to them
with a plate of skewers and two beers just then, and sat on the grass as well. "It's a rare moment of
peace, don't you think?"
Irene peeked at him, but quickly composed herself and did not tell him about Lulu.
Even she had no idea how Lulu was, specifically.
Picking up a skewer, she said, "I'd rather have mutton."
There was not much mutton available over here, and what they had was mostly beef.
Thankfully, the meat was perfectly marbled, with exquisite balance between the lean meat and fat,
making the taste sublime.
"You glutton." Zachary snorted. "This beef costs way more than mutton."
