When Irene regained her freedom, she did not get off Isaac right away. Instead, she leaned in, holding his head firmly and biting down viciously on his lip!Isaac frowned slightly but did not resist, even watching her lovingly. Still, Irene soon released him because she could taste blood. She said, "Don't push me like that ever again.""Sure." Isaac smiled. Irene was just about to get off him when she slipped and landed on him again.Mrs. Watson happened to arrive just then.Catching them in the act, she quickly closed her eyes, turning around while giggling, "It's alright, you can continue. I saw nothing."With that, she fled, as if fearful she would be a third-wheeler!Irene was left speechless even as her cheeks burned.Mrs. Watson must have misunderstood. This was just so embarrassing!Shooting Isaac a glare, she snapped, "This is all your fault."Isaac pursed his lips to hide a smile. "We're married. They were too, so they would understand."Irene shot him a vicious
Before Isaac could answer, Erin said, "He's not actually my half-brother—I'm just adopted. I'm not my mother's biological daughter, so you don't have to ask him. We can be together if we want."James wanted to explain that he knew about that and had zero connection with Isaac, and Yvaine was the only thing that connected them.Even so, he found it necessary to clear the air, since Yvaine was Isaac's mother too.Still, Isaac beat him to it before he could say anything. "Your relationships have nothing to do with me."Like Erin said, she was adopted—so what did that have to do with him?Taking Irene's hand, he told James, "Now that you're better, we can go." "I'll check in at the office tomorrow," James said. Isaac heard James, but he did not respond. As he headed outside with Irene, she asked, "Will you be busy today?""What is it?" he asked in return. "Well, Mark Wickers helped out a lot with the research for the antidote," Irene told him. "I'm thinking about treating eve
"Don't touch me," Irene warned. "Mess with me again, and it's the couch for you tonight."They played and joked like a couple madly in love, and Isaac eventually led her to a Chanel store. "Let's check it out."Irene stopped him. "It's fine…""I'm paying." Isaac simply put a hand around her shoulder and led her inside.He was a little guilty since they have been together for so long, but he never gave her any presents. "We're buying anything you want," he said seriously.Irene pursed her lips, and leaned against him—she felt more secure the closer she was to him.While Isaac was helping her pick something fitting, a salesgirl approached them, saying, "These are for display purposes. We can bring you a new one if you need it."Having lived with Irene for a while now, he noticed that everything she wore was either casual or comfortable, never fashionable.Still, casual wear did fit her a lot, since she still retained her youthful vigor like a fresh college graduate! Then, spo
Irene was scowling. "He just married her days ago and he has a baby now?"Isaac was suspicious too, and they both were wondering if the baby Harvey Gooding was holding was theirs. After all, Harvey had always been hostile toward Isaac, and he now felt the same toward Irene as well because of how she kept rejecting him.Given his style, he would have kidnapped their child in retaliation.Irene was agitated that she was going to run up and interrogate him—she could not stay calm where her child was concerned.However, Isaac caught her. "Calm down.""That child might be ours! How could I stay calm?!" Irene snapped impatiently. "Irene," he reasoned softly. "Even if you asked, he won't admit it—""Yo!" Harvey spotted them just then, and was starting towards them, even holding up the child he was holding as if flaunting."I have a kid now too," he told Isaac provokingly. "But you don't look too happy. What, am I an eyesore just because I have a son now?""Your son? Just days af
Isaac composed himself and put his hands around Irene. "It doesn't matter what he wants. Let's do the paternity test anyway—we shouldn't let anything slip past us."After they returned to their car, Irene said as she put on her seatbelt. "I'll do the paternity test myself."She was uncomfortable with others doing it, and she wanted no error!"Okay," Isaac replied. As her heart became filled with anticipation and worry at once, Isaac held her hand and squeezed it. "Don't worry."Irene simply leaned her head against the window. "Are you saying that I shouldn't hold out too much hope?"Isaac certainly thought so, and Irene understood that. Nodding and trying to look relaxed just then, she said, "I know."…After Isaac sent her home, he told her, "Get some rest."Irene nodded and headed straight inside after alighting. Isaac watched her and only drove off after she went inside.Bzzt—Irene's phone rang when she was changing out of her shoes, and she answered it."Why don't
It was Harvey who answered the door, but he appeared annoyed. "I thought you weren't coming.""I was delayed," Irene said flatly. Harvey stood aside to let her in. "Come in."Irene stood at the doorway, glancing inside warily, and she only entered after seeing someone else inside. Harvey closed the door and asked, "What are you worried about? That I'd do something to you?""Have you ever succeeded?" Irene asked.Harvey was speechless—he had to give it to her, she was certainly cunning.Since the subject was not to his advantage, he changed it. "This is my wife, Heather."The woman on the couch had the baby in her arms and she greeted Irene politely. "Hello. Harvey told me a friend is visiting, and that would be you, right? Pleased to meet you,".Having no idea what Harvey was actually up to, Irene politely smiled in return. "Likewise."Harvey walked up and put an arm on Heather's shoulder, watching Irene as he said, "We're supposed to be friends, but she skipped out on our
Heather King felt her head spinning, and soon, her vision of Harvey blurred. Harvey became dazed as well and started to wobble, and he quickly returned to the couch, shaking his head firmly to clear his head."Are you feeling dizzy? Me too…" Heather mumbled.The child in her arms had turned quiet as well, even though he was crying just a moment ago.Harvey understood Irene's anger just then—she was a doctor and had a sharp smell.She must have noticed that something was wrong before they did.He then turned toward the scented candle on the table.A steward had given it to them, saying that it would help with sleeping, and Harvey took it without hesitation.That must be it!He got up and tried to snuff it out, but dropped to the floor before he could reach it.Heather then fainted as well!…On the other hand, Irene ran into James Cross in the corridor once she got out.What are you doing here?" she asked."Mr. Jefferson told me to get blood and hair samples from Harvey's
"Yeah?" Issac replied—he wanted to know the result too."No," Irene said, shaking her head.The baby was not related to her at all!There was disappointment in Isaac's eyes, but it quickly faded as he gathered Irene in his arms, softly assuring her, "It's fine. It doesn't matter—we'll keep looking. I've even received word from my PI that he's on Kim Sherwood's trail. We just have to be patient."He had already prepared her for this outcome, just as he had prepared himself. It was obvious that Harvey would not bring their child out in the open if he really snatched him, and this simply proved that.Even so, Irene could not help feeling despondent. She was worried that her child was suffering…However, calmness and composure was a doctor's tenet, and she quickly composed herself. Turning to James, she said, "You can return the child to Harvey now."They had no reason to keep him since he is not their child."But is the boy Harvey's?" James pointed out, but Irene did not test
