The Runaway Groom Chapter 922

Irene lowered her eyes to hide her emotions. “Isaac really wants a daughter.”

Lulu was silent for a moment. “How could he be so greedy?”

“He never mentioned it, actually,” Irene said quietly. “I just think it’s regrettable I can’t grant him his wish.”

“Then you’re being paranoid,” Lulu told Irene. “Why pressure yourself when he’s not saying anything?”

“Fine, I’m the greedy one, alright?” Irene smiled.

“You are greedy. You’d want a son if you had daughters instead… but that’s human greed for you. It’s endless, and humans only ever ask for more,” Lulu said, suddenly staring at the ceiling. “Irene… I just want to live the rest of my life peacefully with Martin.”

“And you will,” Irene said. “Martin’s surgery was a success.”

Lulu pursed her lips in silence, while Irene suddenly apologized—Johnny had told Irene everything and that Ricky would have been the one getting shot if not for Martin.
