The Runaway Groom Chapter 125
Isaac knew that he had no one to blame but himself.Even so, Irene's obstinance on getting a divorce left him feeling unbearable, no matter how he tried to endure and tolerate her actions—she would even go as far as to have her own father beg Henry!It was clear that she would not change her mind once she made her choice, but such was her nature.Now, he was even less eager to tell the truth of what had happened that night—would she not hate him more if she found out?"Why don't you test her, and see if she cares?" Stan suggested.Turning to him, Isaac asked, "How?" "Well, just hang out with other women," Stan said. "She would not care if all she feels toward you is spite, but she would be jealous if she has feelings for you."Isaac scowled. "Why do I even bother asking?"Stan was speechless—what was wrong with his idea? It was basically perfect!Naturally, confident as he was, Stan said, "Well, do you have better ideas? That's the only option to test her now."Isaac mused t

Irene's expression darkened as she stared at Isaac holding that girl.It hurt—as if someone had shoved her heart on a meat hook."Did you come looking for me?" he asked her then, looking fixedly at her as if afraid to miss a sliver of her reaction.Irene, however, feigned nonchalance and flashed an impeccable smile. "No, I didn't. I was just passing by, and I have something else to do. I'll be leaving now."With that, she returned to the car, and urged Jimmy to drive away as fast as he could. "Move, now!"All she wanted right then was to get out of that place, and even as the car moved, she did not even look out of the window once, as if fearful that she would see Isaac holding another woman again.She wanted to slap herself right then—she actually came to make peace, and come clean to him!"He's the enemy!" she murmured, giggling self-deprecatingly. "You must have gone crazy—or drugged, Irene Spencer! To think you'd fall for the man who killed your child!""Mrs. Jefferson…" Ji
The Runaway Groom Chapter 127
As Lionel stepped inside his ward, he told Samantha, "You can leave. I don't need you here."Samantha quickly tried to appease him. "You can't be alone, right? I'll stay."However, Lionel had already seen through her and what she wanted. "You just want my inheritance, don't you?" he asked, exposing her right then. "No!" Samantha quickly explained. "I'm fine without it, but you have to take care of Ricky. He has a criminal record, and there's every chance he won't get a good career. You have to think of him!"Lionel was not bothered with her rant, and simply lay down in bed! Was he that stupid that he would not look after his own son?Meanwhile, Irene had left quietly, and Ricky followed her out of the building."Sis," he called out to her.Turning to look at him with an impassive expression, she asked, "What?""I heard that you're the one who got a specialist to help Dad," Ricky said earnestly, his hostility toward her before nowhere to be seen. "Thank you.""You don't ha
The Runaway Groom Chapter 128
Stan beckoned for Kathy to come closer before whispering into her ear.Her pretty eyes abruptly lit up with a twinkle, and when Stan was finished, she said, "I understand.""Don't even think about stepping out of line, understand?""Understood," Kathy said tamely. "Good."…Later in the evening, once Stan had confirmed that Isaac had returned to his mansion, he notified Kathy.In the mansion, Irene was nestled on the couch and reading a book, and acted as if she did not see Isaac return—even if her mind already drifted away from her book.She wondered how Isaac could pretend that he loved her when he had other women on the side… even doing that to her!She knew it. All men thought with their scrotums, doing it just because they wanted, even if love was not involved. And here she thought Isaac lost control because he was furious! He was no exception to the scrotum rule—any pretty face will do!Casually throwing his jacket on the couch just then, Isaac stood beside the table
The Runaway Groom Chapter 129
"Divorce you?!"Isaac's cheek was twitching as crimson fury flared in his eyes. He really wanted to gouge her heart out and see what it was made of—how could she be so heinous?!"No, you'll never get a divorce. Your soul belongs to me even if you die!"Irene felt like she could lose her mind just then. She tried to give up on her spite and have a heart-to-heart talk with him, but he was messing around with other women! She felt so stupid for almost believing that he actually loved her!"Fine! I'll announce to the world tomorrow that I'm your wife, and I cheated on you all the time with different men, even getting pregnant! I'll make you get sick of me!"Isaac almost choked from that just then.She was really killing him! "Just try it!!!""You think I won't?!" Irene retorted with equal staunchness. It was going nowhere, so Isaac took a deep breath to compose himself. "How could you be so callous?"At the same time, Irene's chest was heaving from sheer frustration. Did he
The Runaway Groom Chapter 130
Furious, Irene knocked Isaac's hand away. They had already planned to get a room, and he was still pretending as if he cared about her? Right in front of his lover?His talent was wasted as CEO. He should be an actor instead!"You're a liar!" she snapped, and started to run upstairs.However, her foot might have been still too stiff, or she was moving too quickly, or perhaps she was simply too distracted… she almost tripped on the stairs, but caught the scaffolding in time so that she did not actually fall.That left her even more frustrated. Forget making a fool of herself in front of Isaac—she was doing it in front of his lover too!"Stupid mansion!" she snapped grumpily. "They can't even get the design right when they built it!"Isaac stared at her and said, "If you say so. Let's demolish this place and build it in a design you prefer."Irene wheeled on him and shot him a glare.See? He was flirting with her again! "Why do you care? Go to the hotel already!" Irene huffed
The Runaway Groom Chapter 131
Looking into Irene's eyes, Issac told her, "If you still hate me for causing your miscarriage and pushing you off the building, you can curse me and hit me all you will, or demand anything—I will accept everything you ask, but not a divorce."Irene sniffled. "I hate you, but…"But she could not control her own feelings, and fell for him.Biting her lip, she asked, "Don't you care that I've been with other men?""I don't," Isaac replied, because he knew that she was squeaky clean and had given him her first time!Irene made up her mind then. "But… do you mind if I had a child with another man?"If he accepted it, so be it. If he refused to, she would hold no qualms about leaving, so that neither of them would be hurt because they had to stay!On the other hand, Isaac did not catch her hint, and presumed that she was talking about their lost child.His heart sank at the thought, and his chest felt as if it burned. "If your children were still here, I would love them as my own.
The Runaway Groom Chapter 132
Stan was utterly dumbstruck. Really? Was she going that far? Did she really have no will to live, throwing herself into the ocean?"Find her—even if she's dead," Isaac growled just then. He wanted a body even if she was really dead!Stan promptly left and ordered the men to put on their gear for a search effort.Meanwhile, Chad buried his head under his palms. He was still in love with Whitney—he would not have challenged Isaac's wrath to rescue her from prison otherwise. "You're a murderer, Isaac Jefferson!" he bellowed in rage.Isaac's expression was icy, but he did not even glance at Chad. On the other hand, Stan snorted at Chad, knowing that he was messing with the wrong man. "Who murdered her again? She jumped into the sea on her own! Hell, we're going down right now to save her!"Chad's face went red from frustration. "That's not true and you know it!""But it is the truth," Stan said, shrugging at him with a look that basically said 'what-can-you-do-about-that?'
