The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 799

Irene stared at the text in surprise.

Getting married?

Who sent this? And who were they marrying?

None of her acquaintances looked like they would marry soon.

Erin Gooding and James Cross, perhaps?

But they would not be making up so soon, would they?

While she was left confused, more text arrived.

[I thought about it for a while, but eventually decided to tell you because you're my only connection.]

Irene had a hunch then, and quickly asked: [Lulu?]

[Yeah.]

Irene asked almost in reflex: [Where are you right now? Who are you marrying?]

…

Lulu Adams stared at Irene's reply without moving.

She did not want Irene to visit her or attend her wedding—all she wanted was a simple life.

She decided to marry Martin York because he was the reason she found warmth in this unfamiliar city.

When she smelled the sheep's fat during a team dinner days ago, she started to retch.

When an older forensic doctor asked if she was pregnant, everyone started to stare at her weirdly.

After all, she told everyone that she was single and never married when she first joined their squad, and could not respond when she was suddenly asked if she was pregnant.

She herself had suffered such a misfortune, so she did not want the same to happen to her own child.

Instead of making them suffer the ridicule of others, she should just stop them from coming to being at all.

"If you're willing, I'll be your child's father and treat them like my own," Martin said earnestly. "I fell for you at first sight."

Lulu was shocked, but evasive.

She did not want to marry him with another person's child, because it was unfair to him.

Likewise, she did not want her child to have to grow up in another man's house, and she was skeptical about Martin's promise to treat her child like his own.

No bloodline meant no connection, and he would never be able to treat the child like his.

She had made up her mind, and she would not agree to it.

She would not keep the child either… until a certain incident changed her mind!
