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."
Lulu pouted. "I know you do, but I don't trust myself. Who knows, I might go with him if he starts to tempt me with
sweet words..."
Martin suddenly wrapped his arms around her and kissed her ferociously.
He knew she was joking, but he was still very much afraid that she would leave him.
He held her so tightly as if to make them fuse together.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter a long while, Lulu said, "You should take Jean downstairs."
She believed it impossible that people could stay friends after break-ups, since she disliked confronting the past.
Caressing Martin's firm cheeks just then, she said, "I only need you in my life now."
"You don't want Jean?" Martin asked.
Lulu paused just then. "He wants Jean?"
Martin shook his head. "He just wants to see her."
As Lulu wrapped her arms around his waist, "I used to think that Jean was just an accident and I didn't want her, but
as she slowly grew in me, I began to have expectations and affection for her... That's how it feels to be a mother, I
guess. I really can't bear to part with her now!"
Martin certainly understood and said, "I'll take her downstairs. Let's not keep the man waiting."
"Okay," Lulu said and turned to carry Jean out of her crib.
Jean was asleep, and her little cheeks were bright red-she was still too young for anyone to tell who she took after,
though it might be obvious once she was older.
As Lulu handed the baby to Martin, he asked again, "Are you really not coming?"
"Ask again, and I'm leaving with him." Lulu shot him a glare.
Martin smiled. "Calm down-l'll apologize properly when I come home later. H
Lulu simply pushed him out of the door and shut it behind him while Martin carried Jean downstairs.
When he saw Zachary, the man appeared uneasy and was pacing around, perhaps too nervous at the thought of
seeing his baby.
He finally turned when Martin called out to him and stiffened when he saw the baby in Martin's arms.
He gulped, as everything including his blood seemed to freeze just then, and his foot suddenly seemed to weigh a
ton when he tried to walk.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMartin understood that Zachary was excited and flustered, and he walked over to pass Jean into Zachary's arms,
saying, "You can come again next time if you want.’
He seemed generous, but Zachary knew that he must never do it-Jean was too young to remember everything, so
he would do it when she was older.
But how was he supposed to answer if Jean asked who he was?
He would be bringing problems to Martin and Lulu while causing confusion for Jean.
Even so, his eyes were red even as he held the baby, while Martin said," Lulu had birth complications, and they had
to perform a C-section."
He was in the operation room and being prepped for surgery-his fate hanging in the balance just then!
When he recovered, he heard from Johnny that Lulu went into premature labor because of that, vowing to die with
him if he did, even refusing to give birth.
He was both emotional and heartbroken when he heard that.
She was such a good person, but Zachary did not seem to value that!
But it was also fortunate that thanks to that, Martin stood a chance! "She's so adorable..." Zachary rasped as he
lowered his gaze at the baby.
