The Runaway Groom Chapter 206
Harvey had kept Irene's child at a nursery to avoid attention. He also hired a professional nursemaid to care for the baby.Having no choice now, he hurried to the nursery, handled the paperwork, and left with Tommy.Since he was driving, he kept the baby in the backseat—fortunately, Tommy just had some milk and was asleep, or he would be crying if he was awake.Harvey glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time. The child was less like Irene than Isaac, and the thought left him aggrieved.He managed to steal the boy and used him to coerce Irene, only for all his plans to be foiled in an instant!Even though he did not like the outcome, there was nothing he could do—he could not abandon his mother, and had to exchange hostages with Henry.The old man's plan to retaliate at Harvey with a taste of his own medicine was certainly effective, hitting him where it hurts the most in an instant!…Harvey eventually arrived at Jefferson Manor, and carried Tommy himself out of the

Rosa had no idea what had happened, but she was aware that Jefferson Manor was not the place to talk.Once inside Harvey's car, she took her son's hand and said, "Tell me. What was all of that about?"She certainly felt uneasy about all that."Look, Harvey—your father left the company to you in its entirety, and I don't know much about business so I can't help much with that. I also know that things can get difficult for you, but even so, you shouldn't force a woman who doesn't love you to marry you. You would never find happiness that way."While Rosa was being considerate for her son's sake since he would not find happiness in a marriage where coercion was involved, she was also a woman—she knew that from the perspective of the bride, being compelled to marry someone she did not love was misfortune too."I wish I could have a daughter-in-law who is kind and understanding, but most of all, loves you for who you are. If you love her too, your marriage will last. That's why I've be

As Henry looked up, he frowned when he saw that it was Ian. He folded the report sheet and slipped it into his pocket while asking, "Why are you here?""Just keeping a friend company…"Before he could finish, an alluring woman walked up and linked her arm around Ian's, but he quickly pulled his arm away and quietly told her, "Leave."The woman did not seem to understand and smiled. "Ian…""I told you to leave, didn't I?" His expression turned cold right then.Finally noticing that he was hostile, she became flustered and hung her head as she left."Grandfather…" Ian began.Henry, however, was watching the woman, and told him solemnly, "You're not a child—you should be getting married, and not surround yourself with unseemly women."Ian smiled. "Of course, Grandfather—by the way, I just heard that the child is Isaac's?"As he spoke, he glanced at the child in Timmy's arms.Henry stepped between them right then."You must be hearing things. Why would Isaac have a child?" he as

In the hospital, the doctor who had just performed the paternity test on Tommy had just put away his phone when he found Ian standing before him."Mr. Jeff—"Before he could finish, Ian had caught his collar. "Cut the crap. Tell me—why did my grandfather come to the hospital today?""It's a routine examination—""Do I look like an idiot?" Ian growled with a menacing glare. "Say that again, I dare you."The doctor was left shaking in his boots.Henry had pressured him into silence, but the man before him was no pushover either—leaving him treading on thin ice. "I would never dare.""So you do think I'm an idiot," Ian growled. "You think I wouldn't know? If it's a routine checkup, why would my grandfather be here at the genealogical department? Also, this hospital has the DNA of every Jefferson in case of emergencies. The only reason for using that would be for a paternity test for that baby my grandfather brought, no?""That's true, but I hadn't heard of any paternity test…"Ia

Irene appeared to be at a loss.Pain and helplessness showed in her eyes. "I shouldn't have told you. A cheater like you doesn't deserve to know."Isaac held her shoulders. "Are you telling the truth?""Why would I lie to you?" Her lips trembled even as she appeared deflated as she straddled him. "I had twins, but the infection from Whitney Cox's amniocentesis meant I would have lost one even if you didn't beat me up. The other is safe—that's why I was hiding for months, to deliver him."Isaac's heart pounded wildly, his breath and mind a mess right then. He wanted to raise his hands but could not feel his strength. "Where's our child?" he rasped. "Harvey Gooding took him. He was using him to coerce me into marrying him." Irene sobbed.Isaac's surprise and delight disappeared right then!"What?!" His voice turned cold and his expression was sinister."Let me go! I have to look for him—"Isaac promptly put her on the bed right then. "Debbie will soon come by with your clot

"Isaac Jefferson?! What is the meaning of this?!" Harvey demanded."Where is my child?!" Isaac simply asked.Harvey quickly realized what he was talking about, and frowned. "Ask your grandfather! Why did you even come to me?!""Stop bullshitting!" Stan walked up, aiming another kick at him.Isaac stopped, but his gaze was icy as he looked at Harvey. "What do you mean?""What do I mean? What else could I mean? Your grandfather took the baby!"Isaac frowned. His grandfather knew about his child?He suddenly had a foreboding sensation—his child might have been safer with Harvey than at Jefferson Manor!After all, Henry had kept protecting his uncle's family, but if they found out…He panicked right then, once again unable to stay calm because he cared too much.He whipped out his phone to call Henry right then."Look, your grandpa took my mom and demanded the baby in exchange. I wouldn't have given him up otherwise," Harvey growled as tried to sit up, but he could not do it sin
The Runaway Groom Chapter 212
Henry's eyes widened in shock, and he asked unsteadily, "H-How did you know?"Isaac's expression was as cold as ice. "Who was it?""I-I don't know," Henry blurted, and reached out to hold his grandson's arm. "Calm down, the child will be fine—""When did you find out, Grandfather?" Isaac demanded icily, knocking his hand away right then. Henry was taken aback. "Isaac…""Grandfather, you know how my parents died and why I almost drowned. I've been restraining myself not because I have forgotten, but because no parent should bury their child. You can't blame me for being heartless if they hurt my child."With that, Isaac turned around, leaving the manor and studying outside, instructing Stan as he walked, "I want to know everything happening over there.""Yes, sir." There was a grave look on Stan's face, but he quickly left to carry out his orders."Isaac…" Henry was murmuring back in the manor.He certainly did not want to see his own family destroying each other while he was
The Runaway Groom Chapter 213
Isaac said, "I know.""Then why are you leaving Tommy with someone else?!" Irene was utterly confused by his actions. "Are you abandoning him?!"Tommy? Isaac's heart clenched at the name. So, the baby was called Tommy?"That's his name," he murmured, doing his best to stop himself from rasping!Irene, however, felt her insides turn cold. She did not care about his question—she just wanted her baby!"Bring him back, or tell me where your friend lives. I'll take back Tommy—he's mine, and you have no right to leave him with strangers. You're just worried that he'll get in the way between you and Kathy York, aren't you? Just tell me if you are, and I'll hide Tommy's identity from everyone while you mess around all you want, or get married—"Isaac's expression turned icy."Are you done? Then stop. I'll bring Tommy back, just give me a few days—""No, it has to be right now!" Irene did not want to wait a moment longer.In reality, Isaac himself was not sure where Tommy was, and
