The Runaway Groom Chapter 850

Irene gingerly asked Lulu, “Are you alright? I just wanted to get a nicer hotel. I didn’t think we would run into Zachary—”

“Irene.” Lulu cut her short with a smile. “I’m fine.”

“Just cake? It’s not that often you come back.”

“Fine, but after dinner.”

Martin joined them as they headed out to eat, before getting the strawberry cake as well.

“When can I take a look at the body?” Lulu asked.

“No. If it’s alright with you, I’d like to get it done soon and head home.”
