Chapter 978
Irene remained composed in spite of Zachary's sharp glare and suddenly smiled.
"Look, I was just trying to convince you not to bother Lulu."
"So what was the point of all that?!'' Zachary snapped.
"What do you think?" Irene asked him in return.
"I think it's pointless," he replied.
Irene heaved a long sigh and said, ' Me too. I mean, if a person likes you, that's basically love, right? Can a person
love you without liking you? That's ridiculous.'
That was why she remained so composed when Zachary told her that Isaac only 'liked' her-from her perspective,
that was good enough, since there was not much difference between liking and loving!
Zachary pouted. "Then why did you bother giving that crap?"
"I'm not," she said, but Zachary pushed her out of her room before she could explain. "Fine, I get it. You don't want
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtme looking for Lulu, right? I wont go."
"As long as you understand." Irene smiled.
Zachary rolled his eyes after closing the door behind her.
Why should he listen to that?
He was not being particularly self-indulgent either, but his life was his own!
He made his decision, and he would see through it instead of listening to others.
His gaze seemed distant then, and there was no telling what was on his mind.
The next morning, Irene did not see Zachary around the house. She asked," He's not up yet?"
"He was up when I woke up," Mrs. Watson replied.
"What time did you wake up?" Irene asked, knowing that Mrs. Watson always woke up early, be it here or back in
Zidonia.
"Around five, I think?" Mrs. Watson frowned, not quite remembering the specific timing.
Irene frowned, realizing Zachary was behaving unusually right then.
She promptly whipped out her phone and called Zachary. Thankfully, he answered.
"Where are you?" she asked urgently.
"At the airport," Zachary replied bluntly, not bothering to hide.
Irene's fingers clenched on her phone. "What are you doing there?"
"I have something to do back home."
Irene certainly knew what he was up to. "You're going to visit Lulu, aren't you?!"
Zachary stayed silent, which basically admitted as much.
Irene lost composure right then. "What are you doing?!"
"Why ask if you know the answer?"
"Get back here!’ Irene snapped.
"If I did what you told me, would I have any dignity left?' Zachary calmly retorted.
Furious, Irene snapped, "You told me you won't go!"
"Calm down. I'm going either way, and you cant stop me-there's no point in getting upset."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Just get back here," Irene told him. "Whatever you want to say or do, let's talk about this. Don't make a mistake out
of a moment of impulse, or you'd regret it!"
Irene tried to speak as calmly as she could, even coaxing to get Zachary to return.
However, he was no child, and he would think things through before he made up his mind.
He was not just following his whims-he was an adult and certainly should not live like a brat who did things without
thinking about the consequences!
"Don't worry," he said.
Irene could not stop herself from bellowing at him right then. "Zachary!!!"
"You'll hurt yourself getting upset like that. Anyway, I'm hanging up. I'm boarding my flight now."
With that, he hung up, and he hung up on Irene when she tried to call him again and turned off his phone on her
second attempt!
Irene was speechless, but she had been careless, not expecting this move from Zachary.
There was no stopping him now, so she must tell Lulu right away so Lulu had time to prepare.
Irene scrolled through her contacts to find Lulu's and dialed her number...
