"Just tell me," Irene said—she did not have to worry about money with a backer like Isaac.She was just concerned that Eagle's idea might not be reliable, and Lulu was very weak at the moment—there must be no slip-ups."There's this female colleague of mine who is strong and shows a strong sense of duty," Eagle explained. "However, hiring her is expensive, though I could ask her over if you're willing to keep an eye on Ms. Adams. She might not be meticulous as a care worker since her expertise is combat, so you can hire a care worker in addition to her so Ms. Adams would have both care and protection. What do you think?""Let me think about it," Irene replied.Money was not a problem—the problem was that she did not know a thing about the woman Eagle was talking about, making her no different from a stranger.On the other hand, it might be ideal if she had Eagle stayed instead and hired an additional care worker as he suggested."It's late, you should get some sleep. There's no d

After waiting for a long while, Isaac became disappointed since Irene was not calling him back.He refused to call her, too—did she not miss him at all after being gone for so long? She even refused to tell him that!Nonetheless, he rubbed his temples and mustered his spirit as he stared at the documents on the table.One wrong decision would lead to severe losses for his company, and he assumed his usual working mindset of calm and prudence.-Irene did not sleep well the entire night, as she had this nagging feeling that Isaac was angry.Still, she decided she would not explain herself clearly if she called back, and that she must get home soon to check on the children and talk to Isaac so he would not keep feeling upset about it.She could stay there for a couple days before coming back too.She ate the breakfast Eagle bought in the morning, hesitating for a moment before telling him, "I think I'll rest easy knowing you're here."Moreover, his colleague would need time to g

"I'll stay here and take good care of Miss Adams," Eagle assured Irene. "You have nothing to worry about."Irene was certainly assured with Eagle around.Meanwhile, she still had not called Isaac as she was heading home to surprise him. It was daytime when she arrived at Franconia due to the time difference, and took a cab home from the airport.She checked her wristwatch to see if he would be at home, and decided that he would still be home.She could not help feeling thrilled at the thought of seeing him again, her drowsiness fading just then as she was eager to get home sooner to see him and their children.She looked out at the scenery. Unlike Zidonia's green zones, most of the area was urbanized, but the buildings themselves made for great scenery too, if different. She alighted once her cab arrived outside the castle, and headed inside.Pierre was the first to see her, and he appeared surprised. "Ma'am…"Irene smiled at him and asked, "Has he left for work?""He just

Irene's second call to Isaac was not answered either, and she stared at her phone, speechless.Was he really upset with her? And her surprise was pointless?She had rushed home to surprise him… but forget not being home, he had to be unreachable even on the phone.Sheryl was staring at her just then. "Why? You can't reach him?"Irene simply smiled. "He might be on the plane by now. We won't reach him."Sheryl saw through her immediately anyway. "That's not what it looks like to me. Why don't you try using the house phone?"Irene simply scooped Tommy up in her arms. "Oh, he's definitely on the plane."There was no way she would use the house phone. If Isaac did answer, it just proved that Isaac didn't want to answer her calls. In that case, she would be embarrassing herself in front of her mother!"I've been away from home for so long, I missed the kids. Take the day off, Mom! I'll take care of them."Sheryl stared at her for a while, and eventually sighed. "It's your busin

Irene simply smiled while Zachary was left seething. "I'm not talking to you. All you people ever do is bully me."He strode off, but he had not walked more than a few paces when he stopped and turned since Irene was not stopping him. "Aren't you going to sweet talk me? Are you actually my friend?" Irene simply remained where she was. "Sweet-talk you?"Right now, she was at a loss of how to sweet-talk Isaac—did she even have time for Zachary?"Sweet-talk yourself. I'm busy," she said bluntly.Zachary was left speechless. "You people have no conscience and don't care about me. Fine! Playtime is over—I'm taking my daughter home.""See you," Irene said without even looking his way.Zachary was left speechless again, but he soon returned and sat beside her. "I refuse to leave just because you want me to."Irene simply got up and left him alone to play with her children, though Zachary did not seem upset and simply watched quietly.After a long while, Mrs. Watson arrived outside w

Zachary shot James a look. "The missus is strict, huh?"James was not about to take the bait. "You don't even have one to be strict with you."Zachary shut up right then—he had to be upset again! Since he could not fight back, he just had to hide!If he snapped at James, James had his wife to back him up, and he alone would never win against two.Picking up the wine bottle and pouring it for Irene, Zachary said, "Let's drink a little since Isaac isn't around." Irene frowned. "Don't mention him.""Who?" Zachary asked despite knowing the answer, and he chuckled as Irene shot him a glare.Even if Irene had a husband, right now, she was alone like him—having a kindred spirit certainly made it feel a lot less lonely.Since he was not the most tragic person around… did that mean she was the same as him?"If I recall, you're bad with liquor. One drink, and that's all," Zachary said, but he poured her a full glass, clearly trying to get her drunk.As Irene rolled her eyes, Zachary

Isaac paused at the door before walking up to the bed.He could smell the faint scent of alcohol even though Irene did not drink that much. He frowned. "Were you drinking?"Irene sat up and wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her face against his abdomen. "Yeah, a little," she purred, half-asleep as she looked up with a dizzy gaze. "Are you upset with me?"Isaac certainly had been at first—he would never stop her from helping a friend, but should she not think of family too? Did she not miss them after being gone for so long?Did family not matter to her?Still, he was surprised to receive a call from Pierre that she came home out of the blue.He was quite curious as to why she would suddenly return out of the blue, but he canceled his business trip anyway. Still, he did not turn around right away, instead heading to his office and arranging for Stan to represent him on the business trip.While he tended to his other work, he never quite calmed down, since he felt

Isaac grinned and tugged at her hair. "You weren't like that last night.""Stop it and get out of bed right now." Irene shoved him, grimacing. "Zachary is definitely going to tease me—he tried to get me to drink last night to loosen my tongue, so I have to be careful too. I have no idea what tricks he would play today.""I could just chase him away if you think he's a bother," Isaac said.Irene gaped in disbelief. "Really?""Nope," Isaac said. He then pulled off the blanket and got out of bed before picking up a bathrobe nearby and heading straight into the bathroom.Irene scratched her head and got out of bed to put her clothes on.While she could hear splashing as Isaac took a shower, she brushed her teeth and washed up before heading downstairs—the sink was separate from the shower area, after all.Sheryl left very early with the children, with a chauffeur and bodyguards escorting them.She would only return with Baby in the afternoon after they had toddler class, while Isaac
