The Runaway Groom Chapter 1015
Irene hesitated for a moment as she watched Isaac raise a hand, but she eventually walked up and put her hand in his palm. He grasped her fingers firmly as he gently pulled a little, and Irene followed the motion to lean in and climb into his arms."Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Isaac asked, brushing his fingers through her hair."You wouldn't have let me come if I did," she purred in his arms.Isaac sighed. "I just didn't want you to see me like this.""You're my husband," Irene said, looking up at him just then. "I'll love you however you are."And with those words, she leaned in to kiss his lips.Isaac's whole body stiffened and he rasped, "I smell like medicine."Irene stared at him—that was certainly not his issue. After all, he was just used to being proud and was therefore insecure now that he lost the initiative.She smiled. "I don't mind. What are you upset about?"Isaac smiled in return, and she lay her head on his chest to listen to his heartbeat. "Do

Irene was the one who initiated it, but she was also the one begging for mercy soon enough.Pressing herself against Isaac's chest, she said, "Your eyes haven't recovered yet…""Yes, but I'm still able-bodied…" he retorted, leaning in and reaching for her lips for a firm kiss.Since it had been a while when they were together, he really missed her… especially physically.And with Stan keeping watch outside, no one would dare to disturb them.Soon, the skies turned dark.Irene fell asleep, nestled in Isaac's arms.She groggily heard Isaac's voice—Stan just came in, bringing food.Opening her eyes, she asked, "Are you hungry?" "I should be asking that question," Isaac smiled. "What time do you think it is?"Irene glanced at the time to find that it was already night—she arrived in the afternoon.And there went an entire day.Getting out of bed and straightening her clothes, she told him, "Let's get you cleaned up."Isaac would need help with showers since he could not see,

Irene looked up to see Stan helping Isaac into the room.She quickly put down her phone and walked up to help Isaac, taking him off Stan's hand."What did the doctor say?" she asked."He's recovering well," Stan said.Irene happily forgot about Lulu, all her focus placed on Isaac just then. The blindfold over his eyes was already taken off—he could not see entirely, and most things were just a blur.Still, the doctor explained that she just had to recover a few days for a full recovery. Irene happily said, "It's been a while since I've arrived. Tommy just called last night, asking when I'm going home—we can both go home once you're better.""Yeah," Isaac replied.However, Irene was concerned.While Zachary was on hand to care for home before, Zachary's focus would be placed completely on Jean.Stan was here at Minerva with them, and James Cross came over with Erin Gooding while also being wounded.There was only Eagle back home, but she was more or less worried with two c

Sheryl was upset at that. "How's Tommy or Baby lacking?""No—they're just too young to be talking about marriage," Zachary quickly explained.He seemed to remember Irene mentioning that Isaac wanted a daughter, but Isaac probably had no hopes for that in this life.It was time for Zachary to show off his daughter when Isaac came back.Sheryl could read that smugness from his face. "Sons are a blessing for parents too.""Of course." Zachary grinned. "He's just a little too blessed."Sheryl could not say anything to that.-Irene stayed with Isaac at the hospital ward. It was huge enough for them, and there were no unconcerned people around.The day before they returned to Franconia, she received a call from Erin, who was pleased to hear that Isaac made a full recovery after asking about it. Then, Erin asked when they could return.Irene said, "We've booked a flight for tomorrow…"Erin became silent for a long while at that and appeared hesitant to speak."What is it? You

Zachary said, "That's right. You'd envy me for having a daughter while you don't."Isaac chuckled. "For now. Who knows what happens when she gets older? On the other hand, my sons would still be mine."Zachary was speechless.What was that supposed to mean? That his daughter would not be his once she became an adult?Hilarious! His Jean would always be his! How would she not be his daughter once she got older?And yet, something suddenly occurred to him and he understood what Isaac meant and was left frowning!"Isaac!" he cried, chasing after him. "Y-You'd better watch your sons! Tell them to stay away from my daughter!"Irene gave Baby a pointed look and chuckled. "That's why you shouldn't get too smug or you'd lose your daughter."Zachary was speechless. The thought that the daughter, with whom he would raise carefully, would grow up to be someone else's girlfriend or wife left him utterly frustrated.Isaac's words were especially infuriating.What was that supposed to me

Isaac could read Zachary's mind right away, but Baby was not going to be a bodyguard. How could Zachary even think of sending Baby to self-defense classes?! Dream on!Irene came over to tease Zachary. "Your daughter's still in diapers. You're getting ahead of yourself." Zachary sighed. "It's inevitable when you have a daughter, and I'd like it to be your sons instead of anyone else. At least you and Isaac won't harass Jean and would actually help care for her. And when you're Jean's mother-in-law, you should treat her nicer since she's Lulu's daughter too!" Irene was left speechless.She was still very young—becoming a mother-in-law would only happen so far in the future, and it was way too early to think about right now."I know," she said nonetheless. "Now let Isaac's rest. His eyes have just recovered.""Are you saying that I'm pestering him?" Zachary asked. Irene was speechless. Even if Zachary did not did not mean it, how could he chase Isaac around to talk about the

Zachary was a little emotional.He never expected that James would find his happiness after Isaac and Irene—especially when James constantly worked so hard.And yet, James beat him in getting married.Sighing again, he said, "Well, I guess I should send him something memorable.""At least you have a conscience," Irene told him.Zachary was left speechless—when did he become that horrible?"Am I that evil in your eyes?" he asked."You're not," Irene replied. "You're just not that nice either."Zachary shot her a look.. "You're really getting cheeky after hooking up with Isaac, huh?"Irene promptly waved him off. "Pretend I said nothing."Zachary snorted. "Save it. Make it up to me and have your son take self-defense lessons to be my daughter's bodyguard later."Irene was left speechless.Her son was precious too, please! A bodyguard?! "No way," Irene snapped, refusing to let her son do it—how far would he get in life with that career?Nearby, Eagle was left speechless

It was one of the servants, but she appeared antsy.Irene frowned and rose to her feet, asking, "What is it?""There's someone outside," the servant replied, lowering her gaze."Who is it?" Isaac was bemused."Let's go," Irene said.However, she was about to follow the servant when Isaac stopped her. "I'll go."Irene thought about it and decided that it was really better for him to do it, and she nodded.As Isaac headed outside, Zachary followed and asked, "Is there going to be trouble?"He was traumatized and did not want more trouble.Isaac turned toward him, finding him quite the jinx just then. "Keep your mouth shut and we just might be fine."Zachary was left speechless.They both soon arrived at the front door to find the boy outside, and while Isaac did not recognize him, Zachary did."It's Barzel."While Isaac had a hunch who the boy was, Zachary explained, "His parents saved you. James helped him escape."Barzel handed Zachary a letter then, and he took it, bemus

The Runaway Groom Chapter 1265
Soon after the wedding, Mr. Fowler proposed for Stan to work at his company to get used to the work over there.He was worried as he did not have much time left, and it would not do if he was gone before the proper arrangements were made.Still, Stan returned to Franconia with Isaac and his family, sorting out things at work and finishing every task he had on hand.While Isaac used to have a lot of free time with Stan around, he was just slightly busier after Stan left. After all, no company should operate in a way that losing a single person would stall all their operations.And after a week, Stan sorted out all the remaining tasks he had in Franconia and returned to Zidonia to start work at the Fowlers' family business.While Stan had property in Zidonia too, he moved into the Fowlers' mansion, but not as a live-in son-in-law. He was simply aware of Mr. Fowler's illness, and Rea wanted to spend more time with her parents.And as the son-in-law, he was obliged to do that much.
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1264
Despite feeling wistful, Mr. Fowler eventually passed Rea's hand to Stan. "I hope you will both cherish each other from now on."Rea told him, "We will."Thereafter, it was the usual proceedings of a wedding, with exchange of rings and vows, the wedding speech, and the luncheon!Though everything went smoothly, Mrs. Fowler could not help shedding tears.She was pleased that her daughter was finally getting married, especially since she was looking forward to this.But now that Rea really did marry, she was worried that her life might get difficult and unhappy.Such was the worrisome nature of mothers.-Later, Stan led Rea to Isaac's table.They were all acquainted, but Stan introduced everyone once again to reacquaint them with Rea.After all, she was no longer Zachary's friend's cousin now, but Stan's wife.Erin was grinning from ear to ear. "Congratulations.""Thank you." Rea smiled in return."Congrats," Baby said, imitating the adults.Rea reached out to stroke his c

Zachary said, "I heard you sealed the deal with Rea Fowler, and her family is preparing for your wedding."Stan smiled. "I'm the look of success—getting a girl couldn't be simpler. See? I'm getting married already.""Well, I guess we're all taken now," Erin said.Tommy poked his head up just then. "Congratulations, Uncle Stan.""Thank you." Stan chuckled, patting his head."Also, I heard that you're marrying into the Fowler family?" Zachary asked.Everyone turned to stare at Stan in shock, but it was understandable.Stan was not that modest that he would have to go that far—he had money and was successful enough to afford a wife.Still, Zachary—who knew the Fowlers—suggested, "To be fair, they do need someone to take care of the family business…"-Either way, it meant that Irene's family would be delaying their return trip to Franconia.After all, none of them had expected to attend Stan's wedding so soon after Zachary's.Stan himself did not expect that either, as he had

"What's the problem? We've already slept together," Rea said as she put her clothes on.She frowned as Stan was still on the bed and not moving. "What, are you going to stay in my bed forever?""What am I supposed to wear?" Stan shrugged. "You haven't brought my clothes here.""I'll get it for you."Rea remembered his suitcase then and hurried downstairs to bring it up."Wear whatever you like. I'll be waiting downstairs," she said and hurried away.Stan got out of bed and put on a suit—it was only right to dress formally when it came to discussing marriage.After cleaning up and heading downstairs, he found Rea sandwiched by her parents.Stan had no idea if she had already mentioned it, but both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler were both staring at him, leaving him further tense.Clearing his throat, Stan began, "Excuse me, but—""Yes, we agree to you marrying our daughter.""You mean marrying into our family," Rea corrected them.Everyone else was staring at her before asking all at o
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1261
If Rea asked her parents now, they would only get sad, and life would become difficult for everyoneWhat should she do to make them happy?Right, she could get married! Her parents would definitely be pleased. As for the choice of bridegroom, did she not have one readily available here?If Stan could pretend to be her boyfriend, he could definitely be her husband too.They could fake their marriage if they had to!Putting the medical file back where she found it, she wobbled up to her feet and left the room.Stan had yet to step out of the bathroom when she returned, so she sat on the bed and waited.After a while, Stan stepped out with a towel around his waist and paused when he saw Rea sitting there. "Where are my clothes?" He asked, presuming that Rea had forgotten since there was nothing on the bed or the table. "My suitcase is still in your car trunk."Rea turned toward him. "Let's get married."Stan was left speechless for a moment and soon chuckled, "Did you forge
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1260
Mrs. Fowler smacked her daughter, but while Rea thought she was angry, she said instead, "Just do your best."Rea's mind was blown—were her parents bewitched? They were completely different from before! A long time ago, her parents had used to tell her that she did not have to marry as long as she was happy.But later on, they had persistently sent her on blind dates… and now, they were telling her to seduce a man?Touching her mother's forehead, Rea asked, "Are you sick?"Mrs. Fowler slapped her hand off. "Your dad and I are leaving now.""Yeah." Mr. Fowler nodded. "The chauffeur is waiting."Rea walked them to the door and watched as their car left before returning inside.She did not go upstairs since Stan was asleep, and she would be bored—she was the type who just could not sit still.However, it was inappropriate if she left since that would leave nobody home.In her boredom, she thought of pranking Stan. She headed upstairs to find him asleep, and soundly at that.Ca
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1259
Unable to argue against her parents, Rea said, "Fine, fine. Whatever you say."Mrs. Fowler smiled. "Then help Stan upstairs to get some rest.""Which room?" Rea asked.Mrs. Fowler realized with a start and quickly said, "Oh, there's no bedding in the guest room… So let him stay in your room."Rea was left staring at her in shock. "When did you get so open-minded? Letting a man stay in your daughter's room?"Mrs. Fowler shrugged. "What can he do when he's drunk?""Haven't you heard of drunken fumbles?" Rea asked.Both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler shook their heads at the same time. "Nope."Rea was left totally speechless—this was just outrageous!She would think that Stan was actually their son, if it was not for the fact that they were not acquainted before.They were not like this before either—even if they were urging her to get married, they were not throwing her at a man like this!Mr. Fowler then said, "If anything happens, we'll demand that he takes responsibility and marries y
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1258
"I get it," Stan replied quietly. "I wouldn't have been upset even if you didn't explain yourself. But since you did, I forgive you."Rea's brow creased as she pursed her lips. "See? I knew it. We really shouldn't be too nice to you."While Stan was speechless, Mrs. Fowler was enthusiastically putting food on Stan's plate. "This is our family's favorite dish. Try it."Stan nodded after a bite. "It's good."Mrs. Fowler smiled, while Mr. Fowler poured him a glass of wine. "Can you hold your liquor?"Stan smiled. "More or less.""You're being humble now." Mr. Fowler smiled at him. "You're definitely a good drinker.""A little."Rea had enough right then. "Dad, Stan has work to do, and he has to return to Franconia tomorrow. You're going to make things difficult for him."Mr. Fowler smiled awkwardly. "Right…" "You think?" Rea huffed, snatching his wine away. "Everyone only gets to have one glass."Mr. Fowler glared at Rea. "Party pooper."Rea shrugged. "I'm doing this for your

Rea turned her head aside. "Then what's your hobby?"Stan did a double take and remembered his life… which was work and more work.It had been years since he took leave, and he would not get to goof off the last few days if it had not been for Zachary's wedding.Hobby? He certainly did not have anything like that.Now that he thought about it, his life was boring and monotonous, and he did not have anyone very close.That was why he wanted a kind, understanding wife to care and offer him company while he took care of her needs.When he looked up at Rea, he clearly felt that she was not for him—he needed someone to take care of him, but with her, he would be busy taking care of her instead."You're looking at me weirdly," Rea suddenly said."How so?" Stan asked.Rea moved closer, looking him in the eyes and asking solemnly, "Don't tell me—you've fallen for me?""You don't just suffer from a flawed personality—you're narcissistic too."Stan pursed his lips and checked the tim
