The Runaway Groom

Chapter 669

However, Zachary cut his mother short before she could finish.

A little frustrated just then, he snapped, "How could you say that, Mom? Don't you remember what you did to her? I didn't hold that against you and I wouldn't have managed to keep her if she didn't lose her memory.And yet you still suspect her after everything that's happened?"

Mrs.Slate held her son's gaze.

"I didn't want to suspect her, but it's just too much of a coincidence."

"The investigation made everything very clear—the fire was just an accident from faulty wiring.How could you blame that on her?"

Zachary was naturally unhappy.He felt like he owed Lulu, and he was single-minded about making amends.

How was he a man if he still suspected her now? Outside the ward, Lulu turned to leave after hearing that, her expression impassive.

But she was certainly not getting soft just because of what Zachary said.

Within, Mrs.Slate knew that Zachary would not believe her without evidence, and she hence said, "Just pretend I never said anything."

Still, her suspicions never eased and she was actually determined to investigate Lulu now.

Zachary was still huffing, but he was more rational these days.
