The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 864

"Know what?" Martin asked.

Lulu pursed her lips. "You know what I'm talking about."

Martin blinked. "No, I really don't."

"Anyway, I'm getting sleepy." He yawned and wrapped his arms firmly around her. "Let's sleep!"

However, Lulu felt uneasy and her heart was pounding.

Still, she said determinedly, "I wouldn't have married you if I was convinced I can reconcile with my ex. I hope you can trust me when I say that you're my refuge, alright?"

"Yeah, I know," Martin said, kissing her hair. "I misspoke and made you uncomfortable. I'll be more careful next time."

"That's not it," Lulu said, shaking her head.

Still, she took a while to prepare herself before saying, "The man we met at the lobby the other day? That's my ex."

"I know," Martin said.

Lulu was not surprised, and she lowered her gaze. "I should've known you'd pick up on it. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to feel upset…"

"Cut that out," Martin said, holding her hand. "I knew you had a past even when I chose you. But I don't mind—that's why I asked you to marry me."

Lulu closed her eyes.

"If only I didn't have this child… I'd be happy with you."

Martin frowned. "Where did that silly talk come from? I asked you to keep the child because he's alive. We could be happy with him too."

Sighing, he said, "I know you'd feel guilty toward me. But I really don't mind."

"Thank you," Lulu rasped.

"Come on, we're married," Martin said, giving her a hug. "Don't be so formal ever again. You know that I'm a loner without a family, but I have a family again now with you. I should thank you instead."

"What's that thing about being formal again?" Lulu pointed out.

"Whatever, let's sleep." Martin snorted.

"Yeah," Lulu replied, nestling in his arms.
