She had been working for most of the day and was definitely exhausted, but there was no other option.
Lulu was the only one in the house, and no one else would do it if not her.
“I’m fine. It’s not that tiring,” she assured Zachary.
Zachary scowled. “Sue will need another week to return. I’ll have Vivian come by to help then.”
Vivian Crowe?
Lulu was upset, but she could not say anything since Zachary had already made up his mind. “If that’s what you have in mind, Mr. Slate.”
After playing with Star for a while, Zachary began to pack up for the long stay at Goldpool.
When he arrived downstairs, he found Lulu making vegetable juice for Star. The baby was nearby, sitting on her highchair and sucking on her thumb as her big eyes darted between them. As he walked up to Lulu, he asked, “Is there anything I can help with?”
“You can help me wash those vegetables, Mr. Slate,” Lulu replied, since the man was free anyway.
It was the last night he will be seeing Star in a while, and the baby would definitely miss him for the month…
“Okay,” Zachary said, rolling up his sleeves to clean the carrots and cucumber.
Lulu stared at him for a while and took one of the aprons off the hanger nearby.
“It’d be better if you wear this, Mr. Slate,” she said.
Zachary turned and stared at the apron, waving his hands to dry it. “Can you help me? My hands are wet,” he said, arching his back.
Lulu was left staring blankly for a moment-she did not expect this.
His hands since indeed wet, and convenis back for her t Well, she was helping him with the apron anyway.
However, as she looped it over head, their eyes inadvertently met-and on a height, since he arched his back.
Those eyes of his so atypical, composed and calm-was just like how he was at the surgical table.
That never changed, even now.
Lulu turned away-even if he never changed, she did.
“You can get up now, Mr. Slate,” she said.
Zachary stood up, holding up his arms so that she could tie the apron around his waist.
His heart was pounding, but he hid that well.
After that, Lulu began cutting an apple into slices and putting it into the blender.
She did the same with the carrots that Zachary cleaned and passed to leaned and her, and the vegetable juice was soon finished.
Zachary picked up the glass of green and took a sip-it was surprisingly good!
“I didn’t think blending fruits and lead to vegetables would lead to this flavor,” he exclaimed. “How did you come up with this?”
“I read about it online and decided to study it.” Lulu smiled. “I tried making it before, and it’s actually a common diet, filled with nutrients babies need.”
Most families made it abroad, and Lulu could agree that it was a good idea.
That was why she had started to feed Star in controlled amounts, and her baby liked it.
Even as they spoke, Zachary had finished his glass, leaving Lulu m living staring at him/in shock. He actually finished it?
“Oh… Sorry, I’ll get you another glass.”
Zachary did not expect to finish it either.
He sighed after hearing Lulu speak at length about Star’s diet, seeing how meticulous she was about it.
Lulu then put a straw in the glass of apple and carrot juice and passed it to Zachary. “I’ll do it, Mr. Slate. You’d be leaving soon-you should spend more time with Star for now and play with her.” Zachary actually forgot to take off his apron and took the glass to Star.
“Hey, Star. Let’s have a drink, okay?”
“Ba!” Star babbled, holding out her little arms to be carried since she had been sitting for too long.
“Okay, good girl…” Zachary picked her up affectionately, holding her even more easily than Lulu did while showering her little cheeks with kisses.
While he fed Star, Lulu had made another glass of juice for later.
Still, she spaced out a little as she watched Zachary doting on Star-it was the right choice, putting her in his custody.
“Wendy!” Zachary suddenly cried.
Brought to her senses, Lulu hurried to Zachary. “What’s wrong?”
Once she was close enough, she smelled the scent of pee, and then saw that Zachary was wet.
Lulu then remembered that she would always take off Star’s diaper, since it got stuffy if she kept it on constantly. Having it off would allow Star’s little rump some air.
“I think she drank too much too quickly. I’ll clean her… And you should get yourself cleaned up too, Mr. Slate.”
Star had gotten Zachary’s arm and apron wet, and he shook his head and smiled even as Lulu took Star off his hands.
He did not find it dirty-his baby’s urine was clean!
“Are you alright, Mr. Slate?” Lulu asked, waving her hand in front of his eyes since he was not moving.
“Oh, I’m going right now,” he replied and left.
Lulu then took Star and washed her before putting on her diaper.
“You shouldn’t bully Daddy, Star. Honestly, you made such a mess.”
Star giggled, as if understanding Lulu.
Lulu smiled as she patted Star’s little head with a look of adoration.
“It’s alright. Daddy won’t hate you.”
In the bathroom, Zachary was reling as he stared at his own, in the mirror, not know why himself.
SW
He then remembered Lulu’s Could she be presuming that hated Star for peeing. him?
swnow He would never!
He was eager to tell her that but soon decided against it since it went without saying.
He loved Star and everything about her, just as he did not explain it to anyone How could he not love his own daughter?’
Thud, thud.
Zachary turned off the shower when he heard a door knock.
“Mr. Slate? Star is asleep. I’ll be going home now-I’ll move in tomorrow.”
Lulu had received an invitation from another group, so she had to leave. The activity would allow her to keep up the pretense of being a professional babysitter.
“Okay, thank you.”
Lulu left in relief after Zachary spoke from behind his door.
Not wanting to keep showering, Zachary wrapped a towel around his waist and stepped out. The content is He ran straight into Lulu, who turned back because she forgot her phone.
“O-Oh… I forgot my phone.”
Zachary was topless, his fair skin almost glistening under the light.
And then there were those muscular abs.
Zachary turned slightly and beckoned for Lulu to enter.
Lulu lowered her head, brushing against Zachary when she entered, while her handbag caught a corner of the towel. While Zachary was left speechless, Lulu turned and saw.
