Ricky then quickly asked, "Should I come to you? Or are you free right now?"Irene hesitated for a moment. "Where are you right now? I'll come to you.""I'm in my office, but I'll head home soon. See you there?" "Okay," Irene replied, and told Jimmy the chauffeur, "Head to Spencer Mansion—we're not going home just yet." She then stared at her phone, hesitating for a moment before calling home. It was Mrs. Watson who answered."Is Isaac there? Pass the phone to him if he is… Also, is Tommy being a good boy?""Yes, Tommy has been good… But as for Mr. Jefferson, he said he's leaving the country for a while, and told me to pack his things earlier. Didn't he tell you?"Irene hung her head as she remembered what Isaac said. "He did, but I didn't know that he was leaving today. Did he say when he's coming back?""I'm afraid not," Mrs. Watson replied."I see…" Irene became a little forlorn, because she remembered that Isaac was clearly upset when he left. She sighed—was he not g

Ricky smiled, and he actually put his arm around Lulu's.Irene frowned as she watched—he never did that with her before!Feeling like he was getting overly enthusiastic, she joked nonetheless, "Ricky, did you know that Lulu has a boyfriend?""Come on, Irene—he's just a younger brother to me," Lulu said as she glanced at Ricky sideways.Irene said nothing—it was just a reminder anyway, so that Ricky would not get any ideas.Still, Ricky pursed his lips in turn. "They are having a fight, aren't there? Since they might not make up, and it's common for the ladies to hook up with healthy young men like me, I'm open to any offers, Lulu.""Not interested in puppies." Lulu pulled her arm out of his and walked over to Irene.Still, they heeded to a diner together, though Ricky was persistently trying to start conversations with Lulu.Eventually, Irene could not stand it and asked, "Not afraid of Lulu already, Ricky?" Ricky shrugged. "I'm an adult. What should I be afraid of?"Lulu po

Stephen said, "It was Dr. Spencer."Harvey did a double take. "Oh, it was her?""Yes, but according to what I know about her, she definitely would not accept your gift either." Stephen said.Harvey smiled but said nothing—he and Irene went way back, and she would not be that tactless toward him.…When Irene arrived at Melville Hospital, she did not head straight to her department, but instead headed to Obstetrics and Gynecology and spoke to Lindsay Slate's attending physician. She wanted the doctor to call Lindsay over. Since they worked in the same hospital the doctor agreed to it. Soon, Lindsay arrived at the hospital with Chad. In reality, she would not have come at all if not for Chad. There were no issues anyway after she completed yesterday's checkup—even if her doctor suddenly said that there was a mistake and she had to come back."Doctor's orders," Chad told her, but Lindsay remained visibly annoyed."Would you like a drink?" he asked.Irene arrived just then
The Runaway Groom Chapter 355
Irene could hear Lindsay, but she did not turn around or respond.However, Lindsay knew that her secret was out and that Irene knew who she was, so she simply gave up on pretending. "I know it's you, Irene Spencer—I've been careless. I should have recognized your voice, but I only caught on when I saw you checking my underarm." Irene finally turned around just then, and asked, "You know me?""There's no need to hide now. We both know what's going on. Don't you think we should talk?"Irene stared at Whitney, suddenly unsure what she was up to. "What do you want?""I just wanted to talk, but if you don't want to, fine." Whitney turned and started to leave, but Irene stopped her, and they headed to the staircase."I never expected that it'd be you who found out first," Whitney said as she stared at Irene. "Isaac Jefferson tried to kill me because of you. Don't you think I deserve to hold a grudge?""You deserved it. Do you still not understand what you've done? You are the reas
The Runaway Groom Chapter 356
Whitney was rolling down the stairs!"Argh!!!"She did not want to give birth, and she could use this to frame Irene too.Chad was going to hate Irene for this too, since he was really looking forward to having the child—even loving it already. "Urgh…"It was a huge price to pay—it hurt like hell, and she was curling up from the pain.However, making Irene suffer made it worth it for her!Irene was left frowning as she finally realized what Whitney meant when she said she would suffer.She certainly had to give it to Whitney—the latter was ruthless enough to kill her own child!"You don't have my sympathy, Whitney Cox, because anyone who can kill their child like you is a reptile."With that, she left the stairs without calling for help—Whitney had done it to herself.Chad, who was looking for her, spotted her just then. "Have you seen my wife?""No," Irene replied, and left Chad to keep searching while she returned to her department.She barely took a seat when Stephen c

Taking Irene's silence as approval, Harvey followed her to the hospital chief's office.Even from a distance, they could hear Chad shouting and breaking various objects."Call Irene Spencer here now!" he was yelling madly.Harvey sneaked a glance at Irene to see no expression on her face at all, leaving him speechless and thinking that she was genuinely ice-cold.It was rare for someone to retain such composure in the face of potential danger, and Harvey's admiration for her only grew.The door to the chief's office was half-closed, and Irene quietly opened it. "Chief…""Irene Spencer!" Chad lunged toward her in a frenzy, but Harvey stood in his way. "Talk if you want, but don't resort to violence—any man who lays a finger on a woman is no man at all.""Who are you?!" Chad snarled at him, his eyes red. "Mind your business! She's the reason I lost my child! Why shouldn't I kill her right now?!" "That has nothing to do with me," Irene said, leveling Chad a cool look. "You ca

Surprised, Irene asked, "What are you doing here?""I was looking for you," Ricky replied. "But I couldn't reach you on your phone."Irene whipped out her phone, and pressed a button to find that it was out of juice and had turned itself off.Nonetheless, she said, "That would have to wait. I'm busy at the moment."However, Ricky was clearly antsy and did not even notice the confrontation right in front of him. "It's Lulu. She's—"Meanwhile, Harvey and Chad were already at each other's noses and a fight looked inevitable.Irene had to ignore Ricky just then and went up to stop Harvey, saying, "He's not worth it, and we're in a hospital."Chad, however, became buoyed since he thought that was a sign of Irene cowing. "I'm telling you, Irene Spencer, I'll have you kicked out of this hospital today," he gloated, pointing a finger at her face. "You can call me Dahc if I can't do it.""What are you talking about?" Ricky rushed up right then pointed a finger at Chad's face in retali

Irene coolly said, "Stop it—""Actually, he's right. I am in love with you, but Isaac beat me to the promised land," Harvey said with much ambiguity. Irene shot him a glare, "Har har, very funny. I'm being threatened with a lawsuit here, and might lose my job here. I can't have that, not when I upset Isaac over—"She stopped right then, realizing that she had spoken too much.Even so, Ricky quickly asked, "What? How did you upset Isaac?"Harvey's ears had pricked up as well, since he was eager to find out too. Irene grumbled, "Stop being a busybody and start thinking what to do about Whitney Cox. Oh, wait—what did you want to talk to me about?""Lulu is leaving," Ricky said. "I was thinking that you should talk her out of it."Irene, however, knew about Lulu's situation and would not do so lightly. "I need to know what's happening first." "Okay," Ricky replied. "I still hope you'd convince her to stay, though."Irene was left staring at him for a while at that, wondering w

The Runaway Groom Chapter 1265
Soon after the wedding, Mr. Fowler proposed for Stan to work at his company to get used to the work over there.He was worried as he did not have much time left, and it would not do if he was gone before the proper arrangements were made.Still, Stan returned to Franconia with Isaac and his family, sorting out things at work and finishing every task he had on hand.While Isaac used to have a lot of free time with Stan around, he was just slightly busier after Stan left. After all, no company should operate in a way that losing a single person would stall all their operations.And after a week, Stan sorted out all the remaining tasks he had in Franconia and returned to Zidonia to start work at the Fowlers' family business.While Stan had property in Zidonia too, he moved into the Fowlers' mansion, but not as a live-in son-in-law. He was simply aware of Mr. Fowler's illness, and Rea wanted to spend more time with her parents.And as the son-in-law, he was obliged to do that much.
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1264
Despite feeling wistful, Mr. Fowler eventually passed Rea's hand to Stan. "I hope you will both cherish each other from now on."Rea told him, "We will."Thereafter, it was the usual proceedings of a wedding, with exchange of rings and vows, the wedding speech, and the luncheon!Though everything went smoothly, Mrs. Fowler could not help shedding tears.She was pleased that her daughter was finally getting married, especially since she was looking forward to this.But now that Rea really did marry, she was worried that her life might get difficult and unhappy.Such was the worrisome nature of mothers.-Later, Stan led Rea to Isaac's table.They were all acquainted, but Stan introduced everyone once again to reacquaint them with Rea.After all, she was no longer Zachary's friend's cousin now, but Stan's wife.Erin was grinning from ear to ear. "Congratulations.""Thank you." Rea smiled in return."Congrats," Baby said, imitating the adults.Rea reached out to stroke his c

Zachary said, "I heard you sealed the deal with Rea Fowler, and her family is preparing for your wedding."Stan smiled. "I'm the look of success—getting a girl couldn't be simpler. See? I'm getting married already.""Well, I guess we're all taken now," Erin said.Tommy poked his head up just then. "Congratulations, Uncle Stan.""Thank you." Stan chuckled, patting his head."Also, I heard that you're marrying into the Fowler family?" Zachary asked.Everyone turned to stare at Stan in shock, but it was understandable.Stan was not that modest that he would have to go that far—he had money and was successful enough to afford a wife.Still, Zachary—who knew the Fowlers—suggested, "To be fair, they do need someone to take care of the family business…"-Either way, it meant that Irene's family would be delaying their return trip to Franconia.After all, none of them had expected to attend Stan's wedding so soon after Zachary's.Stan himself did not expect that either, as he had
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1262
"What's the problem? We've already slept together," Rea said as she put her clothes on.She frowned as Stan was still on the bed and not moving. "What, are you going to stay in my bed forever?""What am I supposed to wear?" Stan shrugged. "You haven't brought my clothes here.""I'll get it for you."Rea remembered his suitcase then and hurried downstairs to bring it up."Wear whatever you like. I'll be waiting downstairs," she said and hurried away.Stan got out of bed and put on a suit—it was only right to dress formally when it came to discussing marriage.After cleaning up and heading downstairs, he found Rea sandwiched by her parents.Stan had no idea if she had already mentioned it, but both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler were both staring at him, leaving him further tense.Clearing his throat, Stan began, "Excuse me, but—""Yes, we agree to you marrying our daughter.""You mean marrying into our family," Rea corrected them.Everyone else was staring at her before asking all at o
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1261
If Rea asked her parents now, they would only get sad, and life would become difficult for everyoneWhat should she do to make them happy?Right, she could get married! Her parents would definitely be pleased. As for the choice of bridegroom, did she not have one readily available here?If Stan could pretend to be her boyfriend, he could definitely be her husband too.They could fake their marriage if they had to!Putting the medical file back where she found it, she wobbled up to her feet and left the room.Stan had yet to step out of the bathroom when she returned, so she sat on the bed and waited.After a while, Stan stepped out with a towel around his waist and paused when he saw Rea sitting there. "Where are my clothes?" He asked, presuming that Rea had forgotten since there was nothing on the bed or the table. "My suitcase is still in your car trunk."Rea turned toward him. "Let's get married."Stan was left speechless for a moment and soon chuckled, "Did you forge
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1260
Mrs. Fowler smacked her daughter, but while Rea thought she was angry, she said instead, "Just do your best."Rea's mind was blown—were her parents bewitched? They were completely different from before! A long time ago, her parents had used to tell her that she did not have to marry as long as she was happy.But later on, they had persistently sent her on blind dates… and now, they were telling her to seduce a man?Touching her mother's forehead, Rea asked, "Are you sick?"Mrs. Fowler slapped her hand off. "Your dad and I are leaving now.""Yeah." Mr. Fowler nodded. "The chauffeur is waiting."Rea walked them to the door and watched as their car left before returning inside.She did not go upstairs since Stan was asleep, and she would be bored—she was the type who just could not sit still.However, it was inappropriate if she left since that would leave nobody home.In her boredom, she thought of pranking Stan. She headed upstairs to find him asleep, and soundly at that.Ca
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1259
Unable to argue against her parents, Rea said, "Fine, fine. Whatever you say."Mrs. Fowler smiled. "Then help Stan upstairs to get some rest.""Which room?" Rea asked.Mrs. Fowler realized with a start and quickly said, "Oh, there's no bedding in the guest room… So let him stay in your room."Rea was left staring at her in shock. "When did you get so open-minded? Letting a man stay in your daughter's room?"Mrs. Fowler shrugged. "What can he do when he's drunk?""Haven't you heard of drunken fumbles?" Rea asked.Both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler shook their heads at the same time. "Nope."Rea was left totally speechless—this was just outrageous!She would think that Stan was actually their son, if it was not for the fact that they were not acquainted before.They were not like this before either—even if they were urging her to get married, they were not throwing her at a man like this!Mr. Fowler then said, "If anything happens, we'll demand that he takes responsibility and marries y
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1258
"I get it," Stan replied quietly. "I wouldn't have been upset even if you didn't explain yourself. But since you did, I forgive you."Rea's brow creased as she pursed her lips. "See? I knew it. We really shouldn't be too nice to you."While Stan was speechless, Mrs. Fowler was enthusiastically putting food on Stan's plate. "This is our family's favorite dish. Try it."Stan nodded after a bite. "It's good."Mrs. Fowler smiled, while Mr. Fowler poured him a glass of wine. "Can you hold your liquor?"Stan smiled. "More or less.""You're being humble now." Mr. Fowler smiled at him. "You're definitely a good drinker.""A little."Rea had enough right then. "Dad, Stan has work to do, and he has to return to Franconia tomorrow. You're going to make things difficult for him."Mr. Fowler smiled awkwardly. "Right…" "You think?" Rea huffed, snatching his wine away. "Everyone only gets to have one glass."Mr. Fowler glared at Rea. "Party pooper."Rea shrugged. "I'm doing this for your

Rea turned her head aside. "Then what's your hobby?"Stan did a double take and remembered his life… which was work and more work.It had been years since he took leave, and he would not get to goof off the last few days if it had not been for Zachary's wedding.Hobby? He certainly did not have anything like that.Now that he thought about it, his life was boring and monotonous, and he did not have anyone very close.That was why he wanted a kind, understanding wife to care and offer him company while he took care of her needs.When he looked up at Rea, he clearly felt that she was not for him—he needed someone to take care of him, but with her, he would be busy taking care of her instead."You're looking at me weirdly," Rea suddenly said."How so?" Stan asked.Rea moved closer, looking him in the eyes and asking solemnly, "Don't tell me—you've fallen for me?""You don't just suffer from a flawed personality—you're narcissistic too."Stan pursed his lips and checked the tim
