Chapter 1011
For Ricky, life in prison was stressless, even happy, which explained his sunny disposition.
It was certainly a far cry from being a criminal who had to look over his back every day.
Irene nodded. "Is there anything you want? I can buy it for you."
Ricky shook his head. "I'm not short on anything here, and Lulu bought a lot of stuff for me a while ago. She often
visits, too, so don't worry.’
Irene pursed her lips. Lulu would probably not have the time to visit him now...
'Til come whenever I have the time..."
"No, it's very far, and you have to take care of your children. Don't worry about me, just come by if you happen to
be passing by." Ricky smiled.
Irene looked at his smile for a while before hanging her head guiltily.
If she had cared more about him, he might not have strayed like this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was too stern a lesson, to waste his best days behind bars when he was at the age to strut and see the world.
"Right, we're doing some sewing later," Ricky said, still smiling. "I've learned a skill, at least."
Irene smiled too, but her nose was a little runny just then.
To think that he could still joke around at a time like this!
"You punk," she huffed.
"Is Tommy taller now?’ he asked.
"Yeah." Irene nodded.
"Good." Ricky nodded in turn, a little wistful just then. "He'll be taller than me when I'm released."
"Keep your act together," Irene told him. ’Try to leave on parole."
Ricky nodded.
Soon, the visit duration was over, and Irene had to hang up the phone and leave the room.
She took a cab back to the hotel and took out her phone to check flights to book two tickets.
There were none today, so they had to wait until tomorrow, and it was just the one flight.
When she returned to the hotel, she did not see Zachary around-he was not in his room or at the restaurant.
She headed to the restaurant, took a window seat, and ordered some food.
When she looked downward without meaning to, she spotted Zachary and Lulu downstairs by the road.
She was quite far from being able to get a good look, but she was positive it was them.
She had no idea what they were talking about, but it might be Lulu missing Jean and coming to visit her.
She sighed quietly and emotionally.
Back at university, she was convinced they would always be together until they were old...
But this was reality, and seeing them miss out on each other made Irene feel miserable.
She whipped out her phone to call Stan's number, and it was soon answered.
"Where's Isaac?" she asked directly.
On the other end, Isaac was blindfolded in his sick bed, while Stan passed him the phone, saying, "It's your wife, sir."
"Yeah," Isaac said. ’You can step out for the moment."
"Yes, sir."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Stan left, Issac said quietly, "Hello?”
"Hey," Irene replied quietly, smiling faintly just then. "I'm in Zidonia right now."
Before he asked why, she told him, "Lulu asked me to pick up her daughter.
She wants Zachary to raise the baby."
She lowered her eyes-in reality, she was not calling to tell her about that.
She just missed him and wanted to talk to him, even if there was no topic!
Still, she did not mention a word on his treatment, since he could be sensitive about it.
A waitress arrived with her food then, but she was left staring at it, suddenly feeling no appetite even though she
was so hungry before.
She had not eaten in the morning either.
"Yeah," Isaac replied.
"Don't you have anything to tell me?" Irene asked.
"I do," he replied.
"What is it?"
