‘ Of course I know you trust Lulu." Irene smiled begrudgingly. "But I don't trust Zachary..."
His move this time definitely left her flabbergasted!
"I'll talk to him," Martin said.
Irene thought then that Martin was an upstanding person and that he loved Lulu to bits.
There probably would not be conflict and he would protect Lulu, right?
It was not as if she thought badly of Zachary.
In fact, she would save Zachary instead of Martin if she had to choose, since she knew Zachary longer and was
closer to him.
She was only human, and she was not noble enough to abandon people she was attached with.
If anything, she was only nice to Martin because he was Lulu's husband, which was an undeniable fact.
She would like Martin to protect Lulu because she was concerned that Zachary would harass Lulu for custody of

She had tried to reason with Zachary endlessly, but it could not be denied that Jean was Zachary's.
He therefore had the right.
But now, things were fine between Lulu and Martin, and everyone around them believed the child was theirs.
What would others think if Zachary took Jean away, and how would they treat Martin or Lulu?
The hearts of people are not that easily read, after all.
"Yeah..." she nonetheless, and asked, "How's Lulu doing lately?"
Martin chuckled. "She's doing fine!"
Hanging up, Martin was about to turn around when Lulu asked behind him," Who were you talking to?"
Martin simply returned her phone to her and said, "Irene. She called you."
Lulu took it and asked, "What did she say?"
"Zachary is coming," Martin replied flatly.
Lulu paused for a moment before her eyes narrowed and her voice turned quiet. "What's he doing here?"
"I'm not sure," Martin replied.
"When's he arriving?" Lulu pressed.
Martin did not answer then, and instead asked, "Do you trust me?"
Lulu looked up in silence, but she certainly did.
Would she ever give herself to him if she did not?
"Why?” he asked.
"If you do, leave Zachary to me," Martin said earnestly. "You won't have to meet him."
Lulu stared at him for moments and laughed. "Would I marry you if I didn't?"
Martin joked, "Who knows if you were having a stroke at the time?"
Lulu said nothing, but he chuckled when she looked him in the eye.
Even so, she was dead serious and made herself very clear. "I don't decide anything on impulse. I've thought things
through before making each choice, and that includes marrying you.
She always believed herself to be calm, too.

Lulu nodded, but she walked up to wrap her hands around his neck. "Don't joke around with something like that
again. Ever."
"Yes, ma'am," Martin replied.
Lulu kissed him. "You have no idea..."
She did like him-at the moment, at least.
At first, she just thought that he was a nice guy she could entrust the rest of her life with.
But after they lived together for so long, her heart was drawn to his magnanimity, understanding and caring.
Martin wrapped his hands around her waist in turn and gave her a light pat. "I made soup. Care to drink some?"
Lulu shook her head and reared her lips. "I missed you..."
Before Martin could react, she kissed his neck... though one might call it biting too.
Martin frowned and panted, "You'd leave a mark..."
"Exactly. That's my mark on you now," Lulu replied.
"How am I supposed to go out now?" Martin lowered his gaze to meet hers.
