Chapter 672

Ricky quickly ran up to Lulu the instant he saw her, hugging her without a care. "You remember me, right? You

wouldn't have given me that look earlier otherwise... I thought I was imagining it, but you came. I was right!"

"Actually, I don't," Lulu said.

It certainly dampened Ricky's enthusiasm, but he did not seem to buy it. " You can forget everyone, but not me!"

He was holding Lulu's shoulders, looking straight into her eyes!

Lulu did not flinch, however, and she met his gaze. "Well, I don't remember you, but I understand that you've been

good to me and always told me the truth. I've seen your rage toward Zachary Slate and how excited you were to

see me, and I know that you're a good person."

Ricky's eyes welled with tears from excitement.

"I'm not just a good person-l'm the one who loves you, and wants to protect you," he said, taking her hand. "You

have to come with me."

Nonetheless, Lulu shook her head. "I can't."

Ricky lost his composure right then. ’ Why? Are you really with Zachary? He dumped you to get married, or do you

really want to stay with him after what he did to you?"

"No. I actually lost my memory because Zachary's mother tried to kill me," Lulu explained. "I was saved

nonetheless, and thus decided to have my revenge. That's why I can't go with you."

Ricky stared at her. ' Won't you be in danger?"

"No," Lulu said with a determined gaze. ’Zachary doesn’t know that I know what his mother did, and I'm still

feigning ignorance. That is why he's defenseless against me, and I would have no trouble against him. I will make

him suffer!"

"But won't you be in danger if you were exposed?" Ricky protested. "I can help you with your revenge-just get away

from him already."

He was genuinely concerned for Lulu's safety since they almost managed to kill her once before, though he was

also worried that she and Zachary would rekindle their relationship if they kept spending day and night together.

"No, I'll do this myself," Lulu smiled. "You don't have to worry about me."

"How could I not?!" Ricky cried in earnesty. "Just come with me-ril protect you."

Lulu shook her head anyway. "You might be able to do it, but this is my problem and I want to do it myself."

Ricky had more to say, but Lulu cut him short. "Let's keep in touch. Do you have a number?"

"Can I see you anytime I want?" Ricky asked.

"When it's convenient," Lulu corrected him.

As such, Ricky had no choice but to agree despite his worry, and reminded her, "Try to keep your distance from

Zachary. Don't let him have his way with you."

Lulu nodded. "I know. I will take good care of myself-it sickens me whenever he tries to get intimate with me, so

nothing's gonna happen."

"Good." Ricky nodded.

"It's late. You should go!" Lulu told him then.

Ricky refused. "I would like to stay with you a little longer..."

"We have all the time we need eventually, but Zachary would get suspicious if he sees US together. That's going to

cause unnecessary trouble."

Ricky understood that the only thing he could do for Lulu now is not to be a burden, and he left despite his

reluctance.

He did not head home, however, and instead went looking for Irene.

He was having a bit of a tantrum when he rejected Irene's offer to have Isaac give him a job.

How was he going to protect Lulu if he kept goofing off?

He needed a stable job at least, so that he can support Lulu in the future.

As such, he headed to the hilltop mansion, but Irene was not around.

It just so happens that Irene was with Seth Hedge at a fancy restaurant, sitting opposite each other across the

table.

"Your face is recovering well," Seth commented-lrene did not even need bandages now.

Her face was still a little red when the scar was removed, and she would make a full recovery once the red faded as

well.

Any mark left from the surgery was also miniscule, and one would never notice if they were not looking closely.

"All thanks to your expertise," Irene said.

"Don’t discount your natural good looks too." Seth smiled. "The food here is really good. Thanks for treating me."

Irene smiled faintly. "Like I said, dinner's on me if the surgery was a success."

A black sedan stopped outside the restaurant just then.

The car window was lowered halfway, revealing a face with chiseled facial features.

A pair of black eyes was leveled at the restaurant, and at the man and woman who were conversing!
