Chapter 575 – Second Chance Love of the Missing Groom Novel

He glanced at the clock-it was already 11 PM.

However, Star was crying terribly, especially after Vivian came into the room.

As Lulu said, his baby needed a diaper change, after which she had to be coaxed to sleep.

Zachary frowned and turned awkwardly toward Lulu right then. He would like her to stay, not to mention that they had agreed to it earlier so that she could better take care of Star. He just did not know how to put it in words, especially if he would upset her if he said it out loud.

Lulu could tell from his eyes that he was troubled.

In reality, she was willing to stay-in fact, she would do anything for her baby.

On the other hand, Vivian put on her professional smile when she saw Zachary space out. “Mr. Slate?”

As Vivian finally left Star’s room, Lulu briskly changed Star’s diapers when Zachary suddenly said, “Ms. Jones, could you stay the night to take care of Star? The guest room is already cleaned, and you can tell me if you need anything else.”

Lulu paused, surprised that Zachary would let her stay.

She actually thought he would listen to Vivian and chase her away, since one wins hearts by winning the stomach.

However, it appeared that he still cared about Star-at the very least, he picked Star instead of Vivian.

The thought gave Lulu confidence for some reason.

Continuing to change Star’s diapers, she replied, “Yes, Mr. Slate. Apologizes for imposing.”

Children’s excretion smells despite their age, but Lulu had long since gotten used to it if anything, she had to work with cadavers that could be a million times worse. On the other hand, Vivian was totally overwhelmed as Lulu walked past her, she had her thighs squeezed together as she leaned forward.

It was a small reaction, and Lulu did not see that since she was busy with Star, whereas Zachary saw everything.

Remembering how enthusiastic she had been about his baby just a moment ago, he certainly knew that she was just doing it for him-specifically his wealth and influence. “No, you’re not imposing. Also, I’ll pay you overtime as needed,” he told Lulu then.

Lulu nodded, not actually worried about the money.

Then, Zachary turned toward Vivian. “Come with me to my study.”

Vivian hurried over the instant she heard him-she had never been there, after all!

Seeing them going upstairs, Lulu sighed.

Then, hearing Star cry again, Lulu had to quickly run back inside the baby’s room.

“Hey, baby. Not used to the new diapers?” she asked as she changed Star’s diapers.

She had changed Star into the diapers Vivian brought out efo M urgency but Star proved sensitive and not used to it.

“It’s alright. Let’s get you comfortable now… Good girl” Lulu told Stan m Lulu patting her little back to assure her that she was not alone. The content

That there was nothing to fear.

Lulu’s heart certainly ached to see her daughter bawl, though Star slowly calmed down with her coaxing.

The baby was certainly kissable with those puckered lips as she quieted down, but bulu festrained herself since she was in Zachary’s house.

She had to restrain herself no matter what.

Lulu gently rocked Star after placing her in her cradle.

There was serenity in the nursery, and Lulu wished time could stop just then.

In contrast to that serenity, the air around Zachary was ice cold.

He and Vivian were in his study. The room only had one bookshelf, while a desk was placed in the center.

“You didn’t come just to bring me food, did you?” he asked.

She might be his assistant, but she had no reason to meddle with his personal time. He could also see that she was constantly probing Wendy Jones, using the many baby products she brought as an excuse to visit. However, he did not want to expose her in front of Wendy either.

As Vivian stood opposite him and saw the coolness in his eyes, she was suddenly panicking, unsure as to how she aroused Zachary’s suspicion.

Things were just fine during dinner, but he suspected her now?!

“Mr. Slate,” she said earnestly, inadvertently keeping her head down to hide the savagery in her eyes from him. “I was just worried-you didn’t sleep well because of the baby, and I’m your assistant, so I’d like to share your burden.”

In reality, the reason she had come today was to see Lulu, though she was relieved to see that Zachary treated her like a normal babysitter.

However, even if she did not have the looks, Lulu’s figure was still better than it looked on the cameras…

“That’s a personal matter, Vivian,” Zachary said, knowing that Vivian was smart enough to understand what he was saying. “It’s late. Go home.”

Vivian pursed her lips.

He was letting that babysitter stay, but he would send her home this late?

“Yes, Mr. Slate,” Vivian replied.

The fact that Zachary was wary meant it was not her time yet-she still had to toe the line.

She was surprised, however, when he walked her out of the door, since she only thought he was going downstairs.

“The car’s waiting. Be careful since you’re alone,” he said.

Vivian’s heart skipped a beat-he was having his chauffeur drive her?!

“Thank you, Mr. Slate. You should take care of yourself too.”

Zachary nodded slightly and watched as she got in.

Vivian could hardly hide her delight and started studying the car, om car.om surprised that he was cordial enough was E’

to send her home!

Her desire for him increased further!

Meanwhile, Zachary was rubbing between his brows after sending Vivian away and stopped just outside of the nursery.

“One day, all the little animals of the forests agreed to go hunting.

Tortoise wanted to go as well. She spoke softly as she read Star a bedtime story, tugging at Zachary’s heartstrings. “Wendy…” He quietly murmured her name and listened until she finished her story.

Star had already fallen asleep in the cradle, her little legs kicking from time to time.

After tucking Star in, Lulu headed toward the guest room to rest.
