Chapter 968

Martin said, "I'm fine with anything. You order what you like."

Lulu smiled and lowered her gaze. "It seems that I have to pay more attention or I'd still know nothing of your

preferences.’

"You have all the time in the world you need to learn about me." Martin grinned.

"Yeah,” Lulu murmured, pursing her lips.

In fact, she was both hopeful and expectant of the future.

The peaceful life she wanted was right in front of her, and it was both worth remembering and cherished!

As they waited for their food, Lulu rested her chin on her hand and stared at Martin as he sat opposite.

She was staring so intently that a big man like him got embarrassed and averted his gaze.

"You actually can get shy, Martin?" she asked, smiling when Martin said nothing.

Their food soon arrived, but Martin's phone rang while they ate. He picked it up, responded a couple times to what

the other end said, and hung up.

Lulu put a shrimp on this plate while asking, "Who was that?”

"I have to stop by the precinct," he said evenly.

Lulu frowned. "Another case? Didn't they agree to give you leave? It's far from over!"

"Don't jump to conclusions. It might not be a case," Martin replied, picking up the shrimp before peeling it and

putting it in his mouth.

"Well, this sure is a taxing job either way," Lulu said-they actually had to disturb him while he was on leave!

"You know what my work is like, don't you?” He quietly assured her while putting a chunk of beef on her plate. "I'll

do my best to spend time with you and Jean."

"I know," Lulu said. "I'm just annoyed because you haven't fully recovered yet."

She was worried about his health but he simply smiled.

Lulu stared daggers at him in turn. "Your leave might fade into oblivion and you're still smiling?’

"I'm smiling because you care about me, and that gives me joy in my heart. That has nothing to do with work,"

Martin said, staring her in the eye.

Lulu could not say anything against that and cleared her throat. "Eat."

After they ate and left the restaurant, Lulu held out her arms for Jean but Martin did not give her the baby. "I'll take

you home before heading to the precinct."

"Won't you be late?" she asked.

"It's no trouble," Martin replied.

"We're not that far from home anyway," she told him. "I can get home on my own just fine."

He shrugged. "I'd like to walk you."

Lulu smiled and wrapped her hands around his arm, gaining a sense of security beside him.

She took Jean off his hands when they reached home, and Martin kissed her on the forehead. "I'll be back soon.”

"Yeah," Lulu said mildly.

After Martin left, Lulu cleaned up the house while Jean was asleep.

Then, as Jean woke up in the afternoon, Lulu washed Jean's rump and changed her diapers before nursing her

again.

Lulu lay in bed on her side and let Jean lean on her chest.

The baby suckled for just a while until she fell asleep.

Lulu straightened her clothes at that and gently patted Jean.

At the same time, Lulu was getting a little sleepy from just lying in bed, probably because she did not sleep well last

night.

She had no idea how long she slept, and she was still groggy when she opened her eyes to find Martin sitting on the

bed.

Rubbing her eyes, she asked, "When did you come back?”

"Just now," he replied.

Lulu sat up then and asked, "Did they give you a case?"

"Nope," Martin replied.

At the same time, Lulu got up and walked to the table to pour herself a glass of water while asking, "What were you

doing at the precinct, then?" Martin was watching her as he asked, "Take a guess."
