The Runaway Groom

The Runaway Groom Chapter 900

Caught by surprise, Martin did a double take.

Still, he soon became serious. “How do you know about Ricky Spencer? Anyway, we’ve already gathered solid evidence on that case. You know how serious it is too, since he’s a murder suspect. You really shouldn’t lose sleep over a person like him even if you were close. He’s not worth it!”

Lulu stared at Martin seriously in return. “He’s Irene’s stepbrother. I’ve always thought of him as my younger brother too.”

Martin actually frowned at that and sat down.

That was a real shock, but the law had no place for sentiment.

Anyone who committed a crime must bear the consequences, just like how adults should take responsibility for all their actions.

Even so, Martin tried to assure Lulu. “Maybe there’s a mistake. Don’t worry about—just focus on the baby.”

Lulu understood that he wanted to calm her down, and she held his hand, squeezing it. “Try to think of something.”

Martin grinned. “Alright, alright. Just don’t worry too much about it and be happy. Anyway, are you craving anything? I’ll get it for you… Sweet and sour ribs, maybe?”

Lulu actually liked that dish, but she shook her head since she was in no mood.
