The Runaway Groom Chapter 265
Irene did not get in bed immediately. She went to check on Tommy instead, just taking a look since Mrs. Watson was taking care of the baby.Tommy was sound asleep, so she tiptoed out of his room and returned to the master bedroom. There she sat on the bed, unable to sleep, resting her hand on her head and wondering who their adversaries were. However, she could not come up with anyone other than Robin and the Jeffersons. Meanwhile, Isaac stepped out of the shower to find her sitting on their bed. He made her lay down as he moved on top of her.As he retained warm, moist kisses on her, the mood was getting just right when they heard Tommy’s sudden cries. Both of them paused, though Irene came to her senses first and tried to push Isaac off. "Tommy's hungry.""Mrs. Watson would feed him.""But…"Her comeback was stopped by a kiss right there and then. Soon, she was drowning in a night of unending passion.…The lights were still up at the Jefferson Manor—both Henry Jeffer

Moneypenny took a moment to find the right words before saying, "Master Isaac is only able to focus on confronting us because he has no domestic concerns. If he did, he would be distracted, and that would afford us an opportunity.""Oh, Moneypenny is right!" Quincy exclaimed. Though she was middle-aged, no one could tell because she did her best to look younger.She nudged her husband with her elbow. "Come on, say something.""It’s a good plan, but how do we do that?" Greg pointed out. Henry had stayed quiet exactly because of that—Irene and Isaac were getting along wonderfully now, and their child only strengthened their bond."That's easy. Just drive a wedge between them!" Quincy exclaimed, an idea occurring to her. "Any couple in a relationship would always be wary of homewreckers. Things would get shaky once one showed up, right?"Nonetheless, Greg found it was difficult. "But Isaac is smart. Would that really work?"Quincy shot him a look.If only he could get his act t

Ricky looked up at her and asked, "You're early. You knew, didn't you?""Yeah," Irene admitted.Ricky's eyes were unfocused as he stared into the distance. "The cops were asking if I saw her, and if I knew anything."Irene quietly listened, but she knew that someone got Samantha out of prison—she never could have escaped by herself.Not sure how to assure him, she said, "You need to take care of your health." Ricky suddenly turned towards her. "She just died last night… How did you know?""I—"Irene was about to say that Isaac told him, but quickly changed, "I overheard the cops telling you.""Ah," Ricky murmured, but he knew that she was lying. Was she hiding something? Why? Because she knew that Isaac killed her mother?Beneath his blanket, Ricky’s hands balled into fists. "My condolences," Irene said quietly.Ricky forced a smile. "I know. She's never coming back… By the way, was Isaac with you before midnight last night?"Irene shook her head. "No, he's busy with wo

Ricky hid his phone under his blanket, and moved so quickly that neither Irene nor Sheryl noticed it.Sheryl walked up to the food she left on the bedside shelf. "You must be hungry, right? Come have some breakfast."As she spoke, she unboxed the food she had cooked meticulously. "I'm not hungry. Can I be alone for a while?" Ricky's expression and tone was flat, but he didn’t appear too miserable.Sheryl tried to talk to him, but Irene stopped her. "Let's give him some space, Mom."As such, Sheryl restrained herself. However, she told Ricky, "I'll leave everything here. Eat it when you're hungry."Ricky did not respond, however, leaving her sighing. "Alright," Irene said as she pulsed Sheryl along. "Take your time, Ricky."Closing the door behind her, she told Sheryl, "Ricky needs time to accept reality. He won't be eating, but don't try to be pushy. Samantha’s his mother, and being unable to take it is normal."Sheryl understood. "I'm just worried about his health. He's sti

Stan had to pass Quincy’s message to Isaac, who stopped and turned to stare at him. "What?!"Stan repeated Quincy's message, and asked, "What would she want with Kathy?"Isaac held out his hand. "Give me the phone."Stan did so, and he asked coldly, "What do you want?"Quincy went straight to the point. "I heard Kathy saved you from drowning that one time. Everything you owned now would’ve been my son's if you died back then—did you think I'd spare her after she ruined my schemes?""What do you want?" Isaac repeated. "Cutting to the chase already? Good. Since Kathy saved you, she must be important to you, right? So let's make an exchange—Kathy for my son. How about that?"After Quincy had met Kathy, she found out that Kathy was fond of Isaac, and they had agreed to work together.As she carried out her scheme, Quincy remembered that she could use this to force Isaac to make an exchange, and save her own son."Your son isn’t with me," Isaac said, while giving Stan a look—the l

Isaac left without pausing for a moment, even as Kathy started to bawl behind him.Stan was puzzled.Isaac wasn’t heartless, especially to those who helped him."Mr. Jefferson?" Stan called out in uncertainty. Isaac finally paused just as his fingers reached his car door handle. "Tell Quincy I won't interfere if she rescued his son."He was unmoved before, because he believed that the whole thing was an act—that Quincy and Kathy were working together.And they certainly were—Quincy had even promised Kathy that she would be untouched.Naturally, it was just deception on Quincy's part; she knew that if they wanted Isaac to believe them, a mere act would never be convincing.The instant Kathy agreed to play along, she was going to be deflowered. Stan quickly returned inside the house, but he was already too late—Kathy was wailing tragically even as he passed Isaac's message.Quincy was laughing, as if she knew this would happen. "Why walk away in the first place?"As she ente

Isaac certainly wanted Quincy Moore, but he wasn’t that impulsive."It'd just dirty our hands," he growled after weighing his options. "Let's go."Stan quietly got in his car and left.They took Kathy to the hospital. She wasn’t hurt, but she would still need a checkup and some comforting after what had happened. Since Isaac had always been cold to her, she was actually surprised that he was suddenly so kind and caring.As she sat on her bed, she didn’t forget what Quincy told her—act miserable and tragic to curry sympathy."I can't live like this… Sob…""Such a shame," Isaac said impassively.Kathy looked up. "W-What is?""You have a pretty face, and you could’ve married an upstanding man. I wonder who’d want you now?" Then, deliberately giving her a look of disdain, "Did you really think I’d fall for you after what happened?"Crash!The dream Quincy envisioned for Kathy shattered right there and then.Isaac was right—what man would like an immodest woman? Even if he
The Runaway Groom Chapter 272
Isaac wheeled on Kathy with an icy glare.She flinched, and quickly let go of him.His severe expression faded, and he said, "I’ll let you keep your job.""Really?" Kathy exclaimed in disbelief."If Quincy asked…""I got it," Kathy said, her mind suddenly sharp. "I’ll tell her that you are warming up to me.""Good," Isaac said.Kathy then asked, "How will I get my revenge?""Win her trust. I’ll slowly teach you how to get back at her.""Really?" Kathy asked stupidly."Of course."Kathy was certainly overjoyed, so much that she was forgetting what had happened just hours ago.Nearby, Stan was raising a brow—is Isaac going to use Kathy against Quincy?One must say that his method of turning Quincy's scheme against her was devastating! "Take your time to get better," Isaac said, and left. Stan followed Isaac and asked softly, "Sir, she did save you before… Using her like this is a little cruel, don't you think?"Isaac glanced at him and snorted. "Does she deserve anythin
