The Runaway Groom Chapter 501
Stephen immediately apologized. "I'm sorry."Irene could tell that Isaac had done a serious number on Stephen since she saw how Hannah reacted to Isaac—she never would have been so hostile otherwise.And Irene certainly knew what Isaac is like."It's fine," she said. "Isaac must have bothered you a lot."Hannah was bringing her tea, and when she heard Irene, she said, "That's putting it lightly—""Hannah," Stephen said, cutting her short.Hannah held her silence reluctantly, and passed the tea to Irene, "Here, have some tea."She had no idea that Irene was the reason Isaac abducted Stephen—if she did, she would not have let Irene in, let alone made her tea.Stephen never told Hannah much about his work, and silence was certainly the best policy in Irene's case, giving him even less reason to tell to avoid causing her trouble.Hannah was certainly no villain either, but she was not about to watch as her own husband was harassed. "What's your name?" she asked Irene. Irene sm

Seemingly worried that Isaac would harass Irene, Hannah told her, "I'll come downstairs with you."She linked an arm around Irene's, locking the door behind her. It was as if she was worried Isaac would storm inside and abduct Stephen again.Irene saw the scowl on Isaac's face right then—given his terrible temper, it would not do if he harassed Hannah too.Irene smiled. "I'm fine on my own. You should stay and take care of Dr. Carr—he's sick and shouldn't be left alone."That was certainly true, but Hannah was still hesitant. "What about you?""I'll call the cops if I'm in danger," Irene told her, sliding a peek at Isaac as she spoke pointedly."As long as you understand," Hannah told her.Irene smiled in return. "I know. You should go inside."Hannah was smiling ear-to-ear with Irene, but her expression cooled immediately when she glanced at Isaac, as if he were some criminal.As she returned inside, she reminded Irene before she shut the door, "Watch out. Remember, call the

Isaac frowned, because he was hoping that the issue did not require his attention. "What is it?"James did not answer immediately, but instead slid a peek at Irene.Catching the cue, she said, "I should not listen, I guess? You could stop the car, and I'll get myself a taxi.""No, it's—""Just spit it already!'James quickly tried to explain, but Isaac snapped impatiently—it almost looked like he wanted to hide everything from Irene.He certainly was aware that they had trust issues, or she would not have done everything she could to run away from him just because of something he said. That was why he would do his best to avoid giving her the sense that he had something to hide from her.James then explained, "Blue Hill Asylum's director just called, saying…"It was nothing worth hiding, but Irene might be uncomfortable with what he was going to say.However, the more secretive he was, the more Irene was interested.Noticing that Isaac's expression was turning colder, James

Irene answered earnestly, "...I did.""Do tell," Isaac said, his interest piqued. "When you told me that you're only staying with me because of Tommy, I decided that I should not use him to shackle you. You have the right to pick who you love, and…""And you faked your death to leave me." Isaac's gaze turned dark. "Should I thank you for your generosity?"Irene reared her chin at him. "You're welcome."Isaac said nothing, but his step quickened as she pulled her back to her room.Once inside, he scooped her up in his arms and carried her to bed, while Irene turned, doing her best to hide her scars.As he put her down, she leaned on her side and kept one cheek visible, but Isaac hovered on top of her, gently turning her face. "You don't have to hide from me." Even so, Irene was still uneasy with revealing her flaw and she was used to hiding it.Isaac simply lay by her side and nestled against her neck while stroking her bulging belly."I love you, Irene," he whispered alluri

Mark Wickers was acting all shady and suspicious as he sneaked into the forum, and was craning his neck while waiting for the right timing to get a seat."Mr. Wickers," Irene called out to him.As Mark turned around, he stumbled backward when he saw her face, barely keeping his balance as he quickly kept a hand against the wall."A-Are you a ghost?"" he stammered.Irene remembered that she had mostly healed from her burn scars. It was natural that Mark would be spooked to see her now, since he would still be convinced that she was dead."No, I'm not dead," Irene tried to explain. "What?!" What was going on? How did she come back to life?!"Look, now's not the time for that," Irene quickly said. "What are you doing here?"Mark sighed. "I didn't get an invitation, but I really wanted to be here, so…""Got it," Irene replied. "Come with me."Mark was surprised. "You can get me in?"He even tried to pull strings, but he simply could not make it in.Irene turned and gave him

It was a worker, who appeared sloppy as he carried a stack of documents and stood outside the door.Irene's speech was cut short because of his sudden intrusion. Knowing the abruptness of his arrival, he quickly lowered his head and walked along the wall.He was here to deliver documents and had to use his elbow to keep the doors open as he entered, since he was holding the stack of paper in his arms. He just did not expect the doors to swing open so abruptly and loudly, leaving him at a loss.Still, the distraction was soon over, and Irene remained unaffected as she finished her speech.Isaac had been sitting at an inconspicuous corner, his gaze bypassing countless others to stay fixed on Irene.She seemed to sparkle when she spoke about her expertise, her confidence making her glow bewitchingly.He did not even realize that he was smiling faintly, but he certainly admired her at that very moment.She was no naive, ignorant child, and he could feel the passion in her speech.A

The call just happened to be from Zachary.Isaac raised a brow when he saw the name on the screen, seemingly expecting it.Speak of the devil indeed."I need a favor," the voice from the other end said."I'm at the Elegant Dawn. Get over here."The person on the other end was silent for a moment, before saying, "Okay."With that, Isaac put away his phone and turned toward Irene. "He'll be here soon. You can talk to him here."He told Zachary to come over so that Irene did not have to make a trip. Irene nodded.After half an hour, Zachary arrived and he was led to the private booth by a host."Isaac—"He was going to speak with Isaac immediately, but froze completely when he saw the person beside him.He thought he was seeing things.He rubbed his eyes and looked again, but she was still there."Irene?" he called out tentatively, but soon decided that he must be mistaken—Irene was dead and they even saw her corpse. How could she still be alive? Did Isaac miss her so m

Irene held his gaze just then. "What?""This is good. Try it," Isaac said, putting a chunk of meat on her plate.She cut a slice and put it in her mouth, but it was not until she started chewing when she realized that something was suspicious.Turning toward Isaac warily, she asked, "Why are you being weird?""You're just being paranoid," Isaac told her. "Here. Have some more."That only aroused Irene's suspicion further. "Really? You're not hiding something from me?" "What do I have to hide?"Isaac actually sounded confident, because he had nothing to hide.However, Ricky Spencer had asked to see him before, but he was too busy—now that he thought about it, it might have been because of Lulu.He was therefore feeling guilty, and worried that Irene would get upset because he did not get involved."More," he said, and kept pushing more food to her, until there was a small hill of food on her plate.Irene was speechless—was she a pig or something?"I can't finish this," she
