The Runaway Groom Chapter 602
Irene was so worried that she cared for Tommy without slacking off at all, or even allowing her eyes to close once.Everyone around her could see her working diligently but were unable to help. All they could do was to offer assistance wherever they could, even if it was just to relieve her a little.Late at night, Irene was still sitting beside Tommy's bed, yawning from heavy drowsiness.Needing to stay awake, she said, "Mom, could you make me a coffee?"It hurt Sheryl to watch, but since there was not much else she could do, she sighed inwardly and left to get that coffee. Still, Irene perked up a little after having her coffee and told Sheryl, "It's late, Mom. You should go to sleep.""Why don't you let me watch Tommy instead?" Sheryl asked. "I'm worried if I'm not watching him," Irene replied. Sheryl therefore had no choice but return to her room and sleep.Meanwhile, Tommy, who was fidgeting in his sleep, suddenly woke up.Though still muddled, he was blabbering, "Pap

Zachary was actually puzzled. "Isaac, that woman has been working for you so long, but you never noticed her ulterior motives?"Moreover, Isaac had always been wary toward others, which made it all the more curious that he never realized what Debbie was really like.Still, the fact was that he never paid her much attention—James himself had recommended her, and she had always been prudent with her work, while James had always been reliable as well."James helped her to her position, but that was how she repaid him? She's beyond saving!" Zachary exclaimed. Isaac remained impassive, his thoughts inscrutable.Seeing that he was not getting any response, Zachary simply stayed quiet. Soon, their car arrived at the unfinished building, stopping by a thicket.The man who had been shadowing Debbie knew the specific position where she was held and he led the way.Crumbling bricks and undergrowth was rife over the dusty floor that they passed through, heading up to the second floor.

All Debbie wanted was to marry Isaac, and that was why she wanted to stay chaste, no matter what happened!However, Ember was not about to let her off easy.Her life and family was destroyed all because of her divorce with Zachary, who was so determined because he caught her sleeping with Winston! It was all Debbie's fault! "You're not getting away even if you pay me ten million," Ember growled as she grabbed Debbie by the chin. "Tell me, how should I destroy you? Ruin your not-so-pretty-face, and then let Winston have his way with you?"Debbie feigned composure despite her panic. "Lay a finger on me, and you won't get a cent."On the other hand, Winston simply wanted the money and not for things to escalate, so he reasoned with Ember, "We just want the money, don't we? She's being agreeable too, and that spares us a lot of trouble—"Ember cut him short before he could finish. "We kidnapped her and demanded a ransom. Do you really think she won't hold a grudge? That we can liv

Ember gasped in surprise. "Are they here to save her?" Winston was getting nervous—he could see at one glance that there were a lot of people below, whereas he and Ember were just two, not to mention that Ember was a woman. In fact, they would never win even if she was a man—not when they have them outnumbered ten to one!"What should we do?" Ember started to panic, but Winston was no better!Eventually, he asked, "Why don't we just bolt?"Ember was certainly reluctant. "We haven't gotten our money!""Which do you think is more important, the money or staying alive?" the man asked in return.Ember thought about it briefly and soon replied, "Staying alive."What good was money when she was not alive to spend it?"That's right—there will be opportunities as long as you stay alive," Winston said as he pulled her along, leaping out of the hole that was supposed to be a window and onto the scaffolding, where they climbed down and fled into the bushes."They must have noticed u

Debbie tried to speak, but she could not manage anything aside from grunts and snorts while they took her away to the castle. It was the same one where Isaac had kept Irene's 'body' when he thought she was dead.They had made many preparations for Debbie there—killing her immediately was letting her off easy.Whatever happened, they needed to make her suffer before she dies.…Arriving at the castle, Isaac's henchman threw Debbie down on the floor and she lay prone like a dog!The body was still there along with the memorial, giving the entire place a creepy atmosphere and leaving Debbie horrified. She wanted to tell Isaac that he could not do anything to her as long as Tommy's life was still in her hands, but the words were not coming out.The feeling of being at someone else's mercy was certainly terrifying and she was left trembling.She was so scared that even the wounds on her face did not hurt now. She crawled to Isaac's left, tugging at the hem of his pants as she t

Debbie screamed!Soon, her face was bloody pulp and utterly disfigured, whereas bleeding chunks of her arm were bitten off!Even so, no one could hear her screams given the castle's isolated location. All it did was startle the birds in the woods nearby.Rick and Dick were doing all they could to earn their freedom.Whips, knives, lighters—anything that could bring pain, they used on Debbie.Her screams soon stopped and she was left on the floor, convulsing in her death throes and no longer able to make a sound."That's enough," Isaac called out just then. Rick and Dick stopped right then and hurried to his side. "Can we go now?"Isaac simply pointed at Rick. "You can."Dick snapped in dissatisfaction. "But I obviously did better! I should be the one you free!"Rick was already going to leave, but wheeled on his partner, glaring at him furiously. "Bullshit! I did better!"They were soon arguing, though it was what Isaac wanted.They were just thugs who could be bought with

Debbie was not going to die so soon, but while she was being locked in the coffin with a corpse, her heart might stop from sheer terror before she bled out! Even if she survived that, being forced to stay in such a compact space with a corpse was sheer torment!The reason Isaac did not set the fire right away was to make her taste despair!…After leaving the mansion, Isaac headed to the hotel to take a bath and change his clothes. He was not supposed to meet Irene after being to such a terrible place, which was why he had to scrub off the foulness he felt had latched on to him!An hour later, he headed to the mansion he arranged for Irene. Tommy was asleep after taking his medicine, and Irene was drinking the soup Mrs. Watson made her at the dining table.Mrs. Watson was sad to see her burn the candles on both ends, and now that Tommy recovered, everyone was relieved, just as Irene could take the time to get some proper rest! Sheryl was tidying Tommy's clothes on the couc

The face on top of Irene's was very familiar, and she was soon wide awake, surprise registering in her eyes. "How did you get in here?"She knew her mother, and Sheryl would never have let him in after she became convinced that Isaac had dumped her."You little minx." His deep voice was at once complaining yet loving.As Irene glared at him, he became serious as he touched her blushing face. He leaned in to kiss his forehead, eyelid, nose, and then finally her lips.He had been wanting to do that for so long! His kiss soon grew in ferocious passion, and the air around them became rife with the smell of pheromones.Their breathing was suddenly labored, and though it looked like they would go further, he pulled away in time and lay down beside her.He was worried about her health at the moment, and resisted his libido instead of going further! Irene in turn calmed herself so that her breathing became even, before turning to him and asking, "Is it done?"Isaac met her gaze. "Yo

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.

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

"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
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1257
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
