The Runaway Groom Chapter 145
Lulu noticed the strange look on Irene's face just then. "What's with you—""Lulu."Zachary suddenly stood up, leaving Lulu stunned!Just then, she felt surprise and pang of delight—delight to see him. Still, she quickly came to her senses and maintained an indifferent look as she asked coolly, "Why are you here?"Zachary simply stared at her fixedly—she was questioning his presence, without greeting or asking after his health.Irene quickly said, "We met outside. I was going to call you, but you came already…"Lulu saw that she was holding her phone and hence telling the truth—she did not mean to set up this meeting between them."Let's go elsewhere," Lulu said."Okay," Irene replied, while Zachary pursed his lips beside her. Just as they were ready to leave, he strode forward in an instant and grabbed Lulu's wrist, dragging her further into the tearoom, telling Irene as they moved, "I need to talk to her. Don't interfere.""Let me go! There's nothing to talk about, I'm m

Kathy York was obviously surprised to see Isaac there as well.Still, she did not speak with him as the elders were talking, and stayed quietly beside her own grandfather.However, even if Isaac did not speak, his mere presence certainly caught attention.Cedric York noticed him immediately, and smiled. "Is this the grandson you're so proud of?"Henry did not hide his pride at all and chuckled heartily as he said, "Of course. He certainly outshone my son and myself in our prime!"Then, turning toward Kathy, he said, "And this is your sole granddaughter, I presume?"Cedric sighed. "Indeed. We only have each other, now that her father has passed away due to illness and her mother remarried."Henry sighed as well—he had lost his son too, and knew the pain of a parent who had to bury his child! "Isaac, would you mind showing Kathy around the manor while we old friends catch up?"Isaac could tell immediately what his grandfather was up to.Henry had told him to divorce Irene last

On the other end, Stan was utterly mystified. Even if he had made a mistake and deserved a scolding, Isaac should at least make things clear. After all, a man should at least have his crimes read out to him before his execution!Naturally, no one could hear his musings, let alone Isaac!…"Hey, how did you get in here? Come out already, Ms. York!"On the way back to the mansion, Isaac overheard Moneypenny and walked over to find Kathy standing in his room, holding the box containing the photo of his parents. His gaze turned dark and strode up to her, his voice ice cold. "What are you doing?!"Kathy was calm and composed. "I was just curious, so I took a look.""Put it down already, Ms. York," Moneypenny told her. "That's very precious to Master Isaac—""But it's mine," Kathy said confidently—even though it was the first time she had seen the silver crucifix.After all, Henry had taught her to say that, adding that the owner of the silver crucifix was very important to Isa

Kathy naturally noticed the look from Isaac, and her smile became even brighter. With that, he got up and left, though he got a call from his grandfather on the way back."Isaac, I heard that your company hired Kathy, but she was let go because she was not up to her task? Can't you arrange for something easier for her?""You arranged for her to show up, didn't you?" Isaac asked in return. Even if everyone at the manor was convinced their act was good, Isaac did not even need to guess what was happening—the signs were all there, not to mention that there were one too many coincidences. Regardless, Henry tried to keep up the act anyway. "What are you talking about? I don't understand.""Do I look like an idiot, Grandfather?" Isaac growled, his tone turning cool. "You were telling me to divorce Irene Spencer the last time we met, and now that woman shows up at the manor? You're just trying to get us together, aren't you?"Henry was convinced that his plan was foolproof, but Isaa

Was Isaac the reason she was restless today? Did that mean he affected her emotions now?No! That was impossible!She did not want to admit it…But it was a harsh reality. She was getting reckless because of Isaac.She shook her head to try to get him out of her head. How could she have feelings for him, after he hurt her and indirectly caused her to lose one of her twins? However, the more she tried to stop thinking about him, the more she did—in fact, his image was now imprinted in her mind, and memories they shared replayed like a movie."By the way, Mr. Jefferson is upstairs. Didn't he talk to you?" Mrs. Watson asked just then.Irene paused and wheeled on Mrs. Watson. "He's back?"Mrs. Watson nodded, and Irene became even more distracted then. She headed upstairs, but was caught in a dilemma on whether she should see him. Impulse eventually trumped rationality, and she headed toward Isaac's room.The door was not shut, and there was a narrow slit. As she gently pushed

As Irene quietly explained everything, Isaac realized that while he had a general idea of what happened, he did not have the details.Now that he knew Samantha had picked that quiet place to attempt murder, he stiffened and asked, "Were you hurt?"Irene shook her head.Isaac was relieved, and remembered the injuries she inflicted on Harvey as well.She knew her way around a scalpel—she was not about to get hurt that easily. Even so, she was a woman—she had limits to her strength no matter how smart she was."Be more careful next time," he told her. "Contact me at once when you get in trouble next time.""Okay," Irene said, her bright, crystalline gaze flickering just then. "Isaac, I…"She wanted to tell her that she had a child just then, but swallowed her words just as it reached the tip of her tongue."What is it?" Isaac asked.Irene hung her head, wondering how she should piece the sentence. "I had something to say yesterday, didn't I?""Yeah?""I…"Bzzt—Her cell pho

Irene stepped outside her room the instant she hung up, where she found Isaac leaving his room as well.Their eyes met, and Isaac spoke first. "Are you going out?"Irene nodded. "A good friend of mine is in trouble. She asked me to help."Seeing that he was heading out as well, she asked, "You too?""Yeah."Isaac strode off, asking, "Where are you going?"Irene told him the address after receiving it from Lulu.Isaac turned around to look at her then. "We're going to the same place.""Eh?" Irene gasped in surprise, though she soon remembered that Zachary and Isaac were close. "Did Zachary call you?""Yeah," Isaac replied. "Let's go together."Irene nodded, and they left in Isaac's car. Although Irene was riding shotgun, they were both silent. They wanted to talk, but did not know what to say.Eventually, Irene said, "The friend I mentioned is Lulu Adams—she used to be Zachary's girlfriend."Isaac did not actually know much about Zachary's personal life. From what Irene sa

"Yeah," Lulu said. "Zachary told his blind date that I'm his girlfriend. The woman felt like she had been swindled, and called Zachary's mother right then and there. It was such a mess…"Irene could actually imagine the scene just then!"And what happened after that? Why were you at Zachary's place? Did you talk things out?" Irene asked.Lulu was quiet for a while before finally saying, "He knows."Irene actually thought it was for the best. "You two are still in love anyway. He must be even more reluctant to break up now that he knows, right? You have no idea how depressed he has been lately—he actually drinks himself silly every day, and he must have lost a few pounds. It hurts to see him like that, don't you agree?"As a matter of fact, Lulu did. Zachary had always had a sunny personality, and it hurt her to see him so depressed.Even so, Zachary's mother would hate her more after what happened. His mother had already been dissatisfied with her modest family before, and woul
