Isaac asked, "Is this a photo of you?"Irene nodded firmly. "Yeah… When I was around seven, if I remember correctly."Isaac couldn’t help laughing at that.Irene scowled, feeling like she was being mocked. "What's so funny?"Isaac passed her the photo. "Are you sure this is you?"Irene was left speechless the instant she saw it. Tommy was in the photo, not her."My mom must’ve changed it," she explained.It had to be Sheryl. No one else would do it! Isaac's gaze followed the photo as Irene put it on the drawer again. "Come back to the mansion with me, Irene.""Okay," she replied after a brief hesitation.Footsteps could soon be heard, and they could hear Sheryl calling out, "Irene? Are you home?"Irene promptly got to her feet—she felt a little guilty, perhaps because Isaac was in the room with her.Even though there was no reason to feel guilty…"Mom," Irene called out.Hearing her voice, Sheryl arrived at the door, asking, "Have you found Tommy?"Sheryl was surprised
The Runaway Groom Chapter 235
Irene was at a loss for words—why did she have to go to Isaac’s office with him?"How could you be so childish?" She was at once tired and amused.Somehow, a man as indomitable as him could be adorable…Although the journey was quiet as they headed to Sky Group's headquarters, the mood between them was relaxed, even a little sweet—as if they were dating.Arriving downstairs, Isaac parked the car and said, "Come on. Let's get you a drink since you're here anyway. Irene was speechless.She could tell what he was going to say later: you already had a drink, so just stay and we could leave work together later.He couldn’t get more childish than that, but Irene felt a little happy inside at the thought of how clingy he was being. Taking the elevator straight to his office on the top floor, Isaac told Debbie the secretary as they walked past her desk, "Two coffees, please.""I can get them." Irene smiled. "How do you take yours?"Debbie butted in, saying, "Dark."Isaac gave Debb

Kathy was stunned. While she did come here on her own volition, she never expected to run into Irene here.Even so, she did not lay a finger on Irene!"I—"Isaac didn’t bother to listen to Kathy. "Debbie, see her out.""Yes, Mr. Jefferson."Debbie the secretary stepped in front of Kathy right then and gestured, "Please."Kathy tried to explain. "I didn't touch her!"Isaac simply ignored Kathy and turned away with Irene still in his arms, though he soon paused. "If this happens again, you won't be working for this company anymore."Kathy felt a chill running down her spine.She had done so much, yet Isaac still had no interest in her.Plus, Irene's provocation actually worked?Isaac himself had chased Irene away from his mansion! How did that woman return and seduce him? What tricks did Irene use to make him favor her so much?Kathy was absolutely livid!…As Isaac returned inside his office with Irene, he picked up some tissues and helped her wipe the coffee stains on her

At once, Irene was hit with a wave of awkwardness and embarrassment. "Yes, I love you," she admitted grumpily as she struggled against his hold. "Can you let go of me now?"Isaac chuckled. "Nope.""You're going to smother me if you keep holding me like this," she complained."I would never," he said quietly, and kissed her on her forehead.His kiss was as gentle as a summer breeze, tugging at one's heartstrings.Irene felt her heart skip a beat, and leaned against his chest.He was the first man whom she fell for—they were two individuals who would never have crossed paths, yet events brought them together almost by force.Perhaps this was their destiny…Bzzt—Isaac's cell phone on his desk began to ring, and Irene pulled away from his arms, saying, "Your phone is ringing."Isaac heard it but did not take it, so she picked it up instead. Seeing that Stan was calling, she said, "It's Stan. Something must be up."Isaac finally answered, and Stan quickly told him, "Take a loo

Isaac acted as if he did not see Henry’s indignation, and threw the scraps of the torn papers nonchalantly into the trash can. "If I want a divorce, we can handle it ourselves. You don't have to worry, Grandfather."With that, he sat opposite the old man, folding his legs casually. "Did you come to show me this? If that's so, I've seen it and showed you what I think."Henry's face was ashen. "Do you know who you're talking to?!"Before Isaac could respond, he continued, "You've seen the news, haven't you? Do you see what you've done? What good came of it?""You mean I should let Ian keep my wife and child, and let that be?" Isaac asked sharply in return.Henry was left speechless right then—his one mistake lost Isaac's patience and respect.It wasn’t as if Isaac never distrusted Henry. They both know how Isaac's parents died, but Henry persistently defended Greg.Even so, Isaac never turned against Henry—Isaac still regarded Henry as his grandfather despite his parents' murders,

Moneypenny clearly wanted to speak, but refrained from doing so. As he lowered his gaze, Henry snorted coldly, narrowing his turbid eyes. "You know very well that Isaac will definitely destroy Greg's family the moment I die. I need to take away all his power while he still can."As long as Isaac didn’t have that much power, it wouldn’t be easy for him to ruin Greg’s family.Moneypenny, however, believed Henry shouldn’t give up on Isaac so soon, rather than be harsh on Isaac. "Master Isaac had been helming the company over the years, and you were hardly present although you are board chairman. There's not much you can do, is there?""I've only given him leadership of the company, not the shares," Henry growled. He naturally had backup measures in place, because he could never get a read on Isaac—even if Isaac never sought revenge on Greg Jeffersons and his family. Moneypenny, however, believed that Henry was being paranoid, even misunderstanding Isaac. After Isaac’s parents d

As the realization dawned upon him, Stan exclaimed, "You were prepared for this? So long ago?"Naturally, the thought gave Stan confidence. It meant that they did not have to worry about Henry impeding them in any way. At this, even his tone lightened up considerably. "I didn't think he could be that heartless…"Henry would actually take back management of Sky Group!Isaac, however, remained impassive. It wasn’t as if he was pleased that the insurance he had prepared kept him safe—in truth, he was sorely disappointed.Irene could sense that Isaac wasn’t in a good mood, and had a rough idea why. Taking his hand, she said quietly, "I won't ever leave you."Even if those around him betrayed or deserted him, she would always stay by his side! Isaac looked into her eyes and gathered her into his arms, while Irene wrapped her arms around his slender waist.Self-aware as ever, Stan promptly stepped out of the office with his eyes averted, even closing the door behind him and telli

Irene didn’t expect that from Sheryl, and walked up to give her mother a hug from the back. "Thanks, Mom."Sheryl smiled and patted Irene’s hand. "You don't have to thank me, silly—I'm your mother. Of course I’ll wish the best for you," she said. She leaned in to whisper into Irene’s ear, saying, "I'm not blind, you know. I saw you two—""Mom!" Irene pouted in embarrassment."Alright, alright, I won't say it," Sheryl said, before adding solemnly. "Just be happy.""Don't worry, Mom." Irene assured her.Sherly laughed. "Okay. I’ll go cook now."Irene let go of Sheryl, and returned to the couch.Isaac did not pick up Tommy—he was sitting beside Tommy and staring at the baby, who was blinking his large, round eyes at Isaac. Tommy appeared curious and wasn’t throwing a fit, lying there unmoving as Isaac watched him.Irene poured Isaac a glass of water. "Why are you staring at him like that?"Isaac did not look up, and instead asked, "Do you want to keep being a doctor, or learn
