The Runaway Groom Chapter 864
“Know what?” Martin asked.
Lulu pursed her lips. “You know what I’m talking about.”
Martin blinked. “No, I really don’t.”
“Anyway, I’m getting sleepy.” He yawned and wrapped his arms firmly around her. “Let’s sleep!”
However, Lulu felt uneasy and her heart was pounding.
Still, she said determinedly, “I wouldn’t have married you if I was convinced I can reconcile with my ex. I hope you
can trust me when I say that you’re my refuge, alright?”
“Yeah, I know,” Martin said, kissing her hair. “I misspoke and made you uncomfortable. I’ll be more careful next
time.”
“That’s not it,” Lulu said, shaking her head.
Still, she took a while to prepare herself before saying, “The man we met at the lobby the other day? That’s my ex.”

Lulu was not surprised, and she lowered her gaze. “I should’ve known you’d pick up on it. I didn’t tell you because I
didn’t want you to feel upset…”
“Cut that out,” Martin said, holding her hand. “I knew you had a past even when I chose you. But I don’t mind—
that’s why I asked you to marry me.”
Lulu closed her eyes.
“If only I didn’t have this child… I’d be happy with you.”
Martin frowned. “Where did that silly talk come from? I asked you to keep the child because he’s alive. We could be
happy with him too.”
Sighing, he said, “I know you’d feel guilty toward me. But I really don’t mind.”
“Thank you,” Lulu rasped.
“Come on, we’re married,” Martin said, giving her a hug. “Don’t be so formal ever again. You know that I’m a loner
without a family, but I have a family again now with you. I should thank you instead.”
“What’s that thing about being formal again?” Lulu pointed out.
“Whatever, let’s sleep.” Martin snorted.
“Yeah,” Lulu replied, nestling in his arms.
Even so, they were caught in their thoughts despite closing their eyes, and pretended to fall asleep even if they
could not.
…
Lulu woke up first in the morning, and stared at the face of the man who lay inches away.
He was not that handsome, but he understood her, cared for her, and cherished her.
As she reached out to touch his face, he suddenly opened his jet-black eyes that appeared relaxed after sleep,
rasping, “You’re awake?”
“Yeah,” Lulu whispered, withdrawing her hand.
Martin sat up, asking, “Hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll get breakfast.”
He usually did the same every morning back home, since he was a bad cook.

When he heard from a colleague that the lasagna in Bridge Town was good, he drove thirty miles just to get it for
her.
It was nothing rare or extravagant, but he was willing to do it anyway.
That was what made him precious—that he was willing to go so far for her.
Lulu shook her head. “I’m not hungry.”
“Alright. Let’s check on Irene today, then?” Martin asked as he got out of bed and got dressed. “Let’s ask her how
things are going now.”
Lulu nodded. “Yeah. It’s a bit early though, so I’ll call her later.”
“Sure,” Martin replied.
With that, she got out of bed as well… when the doorbell rang.
Martin answered it, since the housekeeping team was not usually that early.
He opened the door, and it turned out to be some stewards bringing in breakfast.
While Martin let them in, Lulu happened to finish washing up and she stepped out.
Her gaze darkened at the breakfast cart!
