Chapter 729
Irene quickly pulled herself out of Seth Hedge's arms and pulled Ricky along. "Let's go."
Ricky was still too upset to listen, but Irene warned him before he could refuse, "You'd better behave if you want to
know more about Lulu."
Ricky immediately did.
As for Seth, he just happened to come to the same restaurant, and he did not expect to run into Irene here.
He did not dare to approach her, but could not stop himself from helping when he saw that she was about to fall.
"I saved you there, Irene, and you're leaving without so much as thanking me? Do you think that's right?"
The clear voice from behind only left Irene annoyed, while Ricky whispered, "Wasn't he our neighbor? Seth Hedge,
right? I thought he went abroad...
When did he come back? Have you met him earlier?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No," Irene said coolly.
Ricky was skeptical-why would she hate him so much?
There had to be a reason, but he was not in the mood to probe into Irene's affairs at the moment.
"Just be honest. Where's Lulu? I'll go to her right now."
Irene stopped just then and took the check from her bag, leaving Ricky puzzled. "Why are you giving me money?"
"It's not from me-it's from Lulu.
That left Ricky even more puzzled. "What?"
"Lulu won't forgive Zachary, but she's not choosing you. She left to start over, and I support her decision even
though I don't want to see her go. She's just going to end up tied down by the past if she stays, and she won't ever
have peace. It's just better for her to leave, and this money will make
up for the trouble she caused you. She wants peace of mind, so just take it!"
"No, I won't!" Ricky shook his head, refusing to accept it. "I don't want compensation... How could she just up and
leave?!"
Suddenly, he looked up at Irene with scarlet eyes. "You have to know. You know where she is, don't you?!"
Irene shook her head. "She never told me, saying that I won't be able to keep it a secret. She's serious about this."
Ricky was left at a loss and despondent. "She's actually gone... Did she decide that because she remembers now?"
Irene nodded. "Yeah."
And Ricky blamed himself forthat. "I knew it. She was acting strange, and I shouldn't have left her, or she couldn't
have left..."
Irene tried to encourage him regardless. "Calm down, Ricky. You're not going to keep her anyway once she decides
to leave. Don't give up on yourself either-Lulu prefers mature, composed men, so work hard and become
successful. That way, she would fall for you when she sees you again!"
"Will she fall for me if I'm successful?" Ricky asked.
"Yeah," Irene said.

Ricky mused to himself repeatedly, as if possessed.
Worried about his safety, Irene said, "Why don't you come home with me...?'
"No, I need to be alone,” he said, pushing Irene's hand and quickly running outside, probably still unable to accept
that Lulu was gone.
Irene breathed a deep sigh-Ricky was going to need time to let Lulu's departure sink in, and anything anyone else
would say was pointless.
She returned to her car and her chauffeur drove.
She reclined against her seat as the car drove steadily on, rubbing her temples and trying to rest her weary spirit.
Screech!
The chauffeur, who had always been a great driver, suddenly jammed his foot on the brakes.
Caught off guard, Irene fell forward, her head knocking into the seat up front.
Clutching her forehead, she asked him what had happened.
"Madam, you should take a look at this..."
Irene looked where the chauffeur was pointing.
Her eyes then widened and she quickly alighted!
