NovelEnglishChapter 162 “I’ve fed him and coaxed him to sleep,” Lulu replied.
Right now, she was worried that Henry had made things difficult for Irene, especially after she saw the
horrific look on his face as he left.
Irene shook her head. “We have to go.”
“Go? Go where?” Lulu asked.
Irene certainly had no idea… All she knew was that she must leave with Tommy, and she needed
Lulu’s help again.
“Are you really fine?” Lulu could see that she looked terrible.
“I think I’ve made more than a few mistakes…” Irene murmured darkly.
Henry’s visit made her aware of a great many things, and the worst of all was that she had allowed her
sentiment to take control of her!
She was so deluded she believed she could stay with Isaac, when Tommy was the impassable rift

For her part, she will not allow her son to suffer, and he most certainly would if she left him with the
Jeffersons!
“Mistakes? What are you talking about?” Lulu asked.
“I shouldn’t have brought Tommy here. Henry Jefferson was being nice today for my grandfather’s
sake, or we would have been thrown to the curb.”
She was the one who did not think things through, and Henry had every right!
Lulu sighed, and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her–Lulu certainly had no words to offer her
here.
“I’m fine,” Irene said, understanding that she was at fault, and she could not blame the old. man for his
requests either.
She had not been thinking straight!
They left to stay at a nice hotel, and as Lulu helped her pack, she asked, “This won’t do. Have you
thought about where you’ll settle down?”
They were adults and being constantly on the move was fine, but not for an infant like Tommy.
“I’ll buy a house after my father’s funeral, so that my mom and Tommy have somewhere to stay,” Irene
said, sitting beside the bed and staring at Tommy. “I won’t pursue a relationship when I have Tommy.”
“Don’t be silly. You can fall in love even if you have a child!” Lulu exclaimed, finding Irene suddenly
pessimistic.
She sat beside Irene. “I’ve been worried at first since the Jeffersons were a dynasty. That’s why I
suggested that you keep Tommy a secret.
Like Irene, she was being ousted by a dynasty, and therefore understood Irene’s situation.
Still, thinking about that left Lulu depressed too.
“You’re much better off, y’know.” Irene smiled. “Zachary earnestly loves you.”
In other words, Lulu was not facing the tribulations at hand alone.
As for herself…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIrene took a deep breath and stopped thinking about that. She did not have the time, since Lionel’s
funeral was not settled yet.
“Could you babysit Tommy over the next couple days?”
“Of course,” Lulu assured her. “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of him.”
Lulu was Irene’s only best friend, and Irene trusted her enough to leave Tommy in her care.
“You should make things quick, but don’t forget to take care of yourself,” she told her.
Irene nodded she must stay strong for her son.
“I’m worried my mom would be harassed back home. I should go now,” she said.
“Okay. Don’t worry, just do what you have to,” Lulu told her.
After leaving the hotel, Irene headed straight to Spencer Mansion.
The instant she entered, she found Samantha blustering at Sheryl.
“Lionel already dumped you! Who do you think you are, presiding over his funeral? I’m the rightful Mrs.
Spencer!”
Sheryl, however, was not enduring her nonsense in silence like before.
