The Runaway Groom Chapter 676
Erin darted inside her car the instant she saw Isaac. She did not even want to make eye contact, though that was less fear than her uneasiness with his coldness.She knew her place and certainly did not want him to misunderstand that she was a social climber, which was why keeping her distance was the best policy for her.For Isaac's part, he glanced at her car but did not say a thing.Lulu greeted him before leaving, while Irene walked up, linking arms with him as he headed inside the mansion."Did you send something in today?""Do you like it?" Isaac asked, watching her reaction.Irene's lips curled up briefly—she would be lying if she said she did not like it because no woman disliked sparkling jewelry.However, she did not love it that much and was perfectly without it anyway.What made her happy was Isaac's sincerity—it was obvious he was sincere."It's too expensive, so I wanted to keep it inside the safe in your study, but I didn't know the code, so I had to wait for yo

As Irene turned around, she smiled at Isaac. "It's important to you. I understand.""I'm not hiding it from you," he explained. "It's just something pointless…""Really?" Irene asked pointedly—she remembered his horrific outburst because she touched it. While she did not care about that before, she would be lying if she said the same still applied now."You've been young before too, Isaac. Maybe you had a crush before—""Enough." He cut her short, frowning slightly just then.He seemed… angry.Why? Because she mentioned his unspeakable past? And he still minded it now?"Do you have another woman in your heart, Isaac Jefferson?" she asked solemnly."No," he said, denying it.Irene was clearly skeptical, however—why else would he be overreacting? Who could it be? What could they have given him that he would care so much about that?"Well, you know the real answer to that. I wish that we are being honest with each other, and have faith in each other—but if the day comes that

Isaac's mind traveled to the past even as he spoke—he would never forget that day no matter how long had passed since.On the other hand, Irene seemed to grow in anticipation as she looked at the chest she was holding, as if realizing something.She slowly opened it and froze!That was the silver crucifix she lost!She remembered it clearly—her grandfather had given it to her, and she had it on since she was a year old!It was not pure silver either, but almost a dirty hue, and the sculpting of the J-man was absolutely lifelike.As she picked it up and gripped it in her hands, Isaac never noticed that because he was caught in his own reverie.He was afraid of water a while after that, but he was Isaac Jefferson—he would conquer any fear and certainly not allow himself to develop any phobia! "A girl saved you, right? Actually, it was not her. Her grandfather arrived in time too, or she might have drowned together with that boy in that pool."Isaac looked up, his dark pupils tw

Ricky Spencer told her, "Waking you is my job."Irene frowned, speechless.Ricky had come the other day, apologizing for letting his anger get to him. He said that he should have taken her job offer and was willing to take it if he was given a second chance… But it turned out that this is his job?Amused, Irene said, "Isaac arranged for this? Waking me is your job now?""Mr. Jefferson also asked me to take you to the wedding hall. The decorations are mostly in place, so you may see if it's to your liking. Also, your schedule for the day is adjustable—I merely decided on my own to wake you at this hour, though that's more your fault for being a sleepyhead."Irene gave him a look. "Mr. Jefferson…?""He's my boss from now on, so that's how I'm supposed to address him," Ricky said. "I'd rather not be given privilege or look like I got the job through my connections, since people would doubt my ability. Either way, this will be the start of my illustrious career."Irene thought she

Ricky could not quite keep up, but he was already following Irene despite his confusion. "What are we going to do?"They were not professional crisis negotiators—they were not saving anyone even if they went up there. Moreover, with so many journalists waiting downstairs, they might get dragged into it."Don't you find it weird?" Irene gave Ricky a look after they entered the elevator."What's weird?" Ricky did not get it—perhaps he was not as sharp because it did not really concern him."All those journalists were already waiting before that person did it. Where could they have gotten the news?"Irene knows that it was no coincidence because this was not an apartment block or residential area.If they really wanted to kill themselves, why did they have to pick Globe Tower? Moreover, everyone was aware that she and Isaac would have their wedding here, but would it really go on as scheduled if there was a jumper the day before? Certainly not!"Right," Ricky understood then, b

Robin's abrupt move caught Irene off guard and she could not quickly free herself, allowing Robin a firm hold."Let go!"Ricky dashed up to pry Robin's hand off, but she caught Irene's hand the instant she let go. Raving mad, Robin was bent on taking Irene with her!"You're crazy!" Ricky snapped, infuriated by her frenzy. "Just die alone if you want to!""No, I'll take her with me to my grave!" Robin cried, her strength bolstered by her madness.Ricky was afraid of shoving Robin's hand because she might pull Irene's hair off, and he kept bellowing furiously, "Let go!""Hahaha!" Robin laughed maniacally. "No, I won't!" Ricky narrowed his eyes, then suddenly leaned downward and bit down on Robin's hand!"Argh!" Robin cried out in pain.Ricky seized the moment to pry Robin's hand off and push her away, causing her to stumble backward in pain and knock into the windowsill.Ricky then gave her yet another firm push. "Fuck off already! Crazy bitch, pulling a woman's hair!"Robi

Irene said, "Robin Lynd was going to jump even if Ricky didn't push her. I'm also convinced that there was someone who goaded her into it."Isaac turned toward her just then. "What?""Didn't you see that it was Robin before you came upstairs? What did you do to her after you dumped Ian Jefferson at Jefferson Manor?"Isaac frowned. While he did see a corpse, there was a huge crowd around it and it was too much of a bloody mess for him to recognize who it was.That was why he would never have known that it was Robin if Irene never mentioned it—they released her after dumping Ian home, and he presumed that releasing Ian would keep her in line.He never saw it coming, but it was almost unsurprising that a villain would continue to be one! They would never let up even with acts of charity!While it was fine that she was dead now—it meant one less loose end to worry about—the consequence was far worse.He had been preparing the wedding for a while, and it had already been delayed in
The Runaway Groom Chapter 683
Irene followed Ricky's gaze and saw Erin Gooding.She was decorating the floor above yesterday, and she was now doing the same downstairs. Tommy even picked up a loose balloon to play with."She's not a visitor," Irene said shortly.Ricky nodded and asked softly, "She's not staying here, right?"Or things might get inconvenient…"No," Irene replied, and walked up to Erin saying, "You can stop decorating the house now.""Why?" Lulu asked, suddenly stepping out of a room."Yeah, why?" Erin echoed."Lulu…" Ricky murmured, forgetting everything when he saw Lulu.Lulu, however, stood motionless, her slightly cool look curbing his enthusiasm. Cowed, Ricky did not move close to her. Irene glanced between them, finding their exchange a little weird just then. Still, Erin tugged at Irene's arm and urged, "Come on, tell us—what happened? Why aren't we decorating the house now?" "Something happened, so the wedding is getting postponed," Irene replied."What is it?" Erin press
