The Runaway Groom

Chapter 982

Zachary felt a little awkward-to be precise, he felt too embarrassed to start.

After all, he was well aware that coming unannounced would cause trouble for both Martin and Lulu, and that he would be imposing.

Still, it takes one man to know another, and Martin turned toward Zachary just then. "You want to see the baby, don't you?"

While Zachary appeared taken aback, Martin said, "I understand that you're no stalker and that you wouldn't have wished us well in Cloud City if you really wanted to cause trouble for us.'

Pausing for a moment, Martin then continued, "I understand how you feel, but I also hope you understand-Jean may be your baby, but most of all, she's Lulu's. I won’t allow you to take Jean away from Lulu... Unless Lulu gives her to you willingly."

Martin knew very well that Lulu would refuse after carrying Jean around in her belly for ten months.

There was a blood tie that bound mother and daughter now, and there was no way it could be severed at the drop of a hand.

Even Martin himself would have trouble letting Jean go-having that tiny person around him already made his life more colorful.

Zachary would certainly like to take his baby away, but he also was aware that it was impossible.

If he did, Lulu would hate him to the bone.
