The Runaway Groom

Chapter 672

Ricky quickly ran up to Lulu the instant he saw her, hugging her without a care. "You remember me, right? You wouldn't have given me that look earlier otherwise... I thought I was imagining it, but you came. I was right!"

"Actually, I don't," Lulu said.

It certainly dampened Ricky's enthusiasm, but he did not seem to buy it. " You can forget everyone, but not me!"

He was holding Lulu's shoulders, looking straight into her eyes!

Lulu did not flinch, however, and she met his gaze. "Well, I don't remember you, but I understand that you've been good to me and always told me the truth. I've seen your rage toward Zachary Slate and how excited you were to see me, and I know that you're a good person."

Ricky's eyes welled with tears from excitement.

"I'm not just a good person-l'm the one who loves you, and wants to protect you," he said, taking her hand. "You have to come with me."

Nonetheless, Lulu shook her head. "I can't."

Ricky lost his composure right then. ’ Why? Are you really with Zachary? He dumped you to get married, or do you really want to stay with him after what he did to you?"

"No. I actually lost my memory because Zachary's mother tried to kill me," Lulu explained. "I was saved nonetheless, and thus decided to have my revenge. That's why I can't go with you."
