The Runaway Groom

Chapter 983

Lulu stared at Martin. "Are you trying to test me?"

Martin tousled her hair. ’Don't think of it like that. You can be friends even if you're not into him now. There's no need to treat him like the enemy since you made his acquaintance, refusing to meet him at all. I don't mind it either-l trust you."
