The Runaway Groom

For Lulu, it was better to have Vivian sleep than have her loiter around the house.

At this point and considering Zachary's attitude toward Vivian, she had the feeling Zachary had a few screws loose.

He knew Vivian was incompetent and could not help with housework but insisted she stayed.

Did he just want to mess with her? When did he become so laughably childish?

Suddenly, Star woke up and started bawling, her cries so sharp it could tear a heart apart.

Lulu hurried to her room and scooped her up in her arms.

Star stopped crying right then as if flipping a switch, her cheeks still wet with tears as she leveled Lulu a look of grief.

One would think she was being bullied with that look, and yet she was so adorable hearts would melt.

Gently wiping her tears, Lulu asked, "Are you hungry?"

Star could not respond or understand and stayed pouting.

Once Lulu put Star back in her crib, Star started bawling as if there were thorns on the mattress.

Lulu smiled exasperatedly, "Oh, Star. How am I going to make your milk if you want me to carry you around?"

Still, unable to argue against Star's large, dewy eyes, Lulu had no choice but to carry her as she made milk. As soon as she held the bottle to Star's lips, Star began drinking furiously, most likely hungry.

Lulu patted her tiny back. "Slow down, Star, or you'll choke."

Naturally, no one would answer that question.

Lulu returned the bottle, and she started to nibble on the bottle's nipple again. However, she was not drinking-she just liked to nibble as she slept.

Lulu rocked her and waited until she was asleep before taking away the bottle.

As Star did not wake up, she put her in her cradle and gently rocked her.

Once she was sure Star was sound asleep, Lulu washed the bottle and put it in the sterilizer.
