The Runaway Groom Chapter 699
Isaac arched his back but refrained from touching Irene—he simply picked up her blanket and adjusted it for her.Then, he stayed there for a moment and said ever so softly, "I don't mind."Those words left tears welling up in Irene's eyes.She kept her eyes tightly shut, and firmly bit her lip, holding it in so that she would not make a sound.Even so, her tears trickled out along the corner of her eyes, flowing over her nose and disappearing into her hair. As her body started to shudder, Isaac wanted to comfort her, but his hands hovered in the air for a moment before lowering.She needed time, and him being close would only add to her pressure.He breathed a deep sigh and returned to their bed, but lay on his side, watching her on the couch.They were going to have trouble sleeping tonight!…The night certainly seemed to stretch on, and both of them pretended to have slept and just woke up in the morning despite the dark circles under their eyes.Still, they both acted a

It was Rosa, Harvey's mother."Hello, Aunt Rosa? It's me, Seth!" Seth said over the phone. "I can't seem to reach Harvey at the moment…""Don't go looking for him if it's nothing important," Rosa replied, and she sounded despondent. "What? Why?" Seth asked.Rosa naturally knew about what happened at Harvey's company.It was also obvious her son was up to something when he sent away her daughter-in-law and her grandson. Naturally, she tried to talk him out of it, but Harvey would not listen, and she could not do a thing about his stubbornness. "Don't bother," she told Seth, not wanting him to get involved. Seth, however, pressed, "What happened? You're making it sound so serious…""Don't ask. Just remember what I told you.""Okay," Seth replied begrudgingly.Once he hung up, however, he called his clinic and applied for leave—he decided that he must find Harvey.…Lulu Adams visited Barbara and her husband soon after she left the Slates.She was worried that she had tr

Zachary simply grinned, disregarding Lulu's wrath. "Even if you do, I would own up to it because I deserve that much. I've even written my will to ensure that you won't be punished."Lulu snorted coldly. "Save your cheap theatrics."Zachary did not mind that at all. "Whatever you say."He was being thick-skinned, and he could not care less about what Lulu said or thought about him. After all, he knew very well that Lulu's impression was long since tarnished, and he would just lose her if he still cared about his image now.This time, he would not lose her—he would keep her firmly within his grasp no matter the cost.However, Lulu only felt irritation from seeing his face, and she started to head out. Zachary followed her. "Where are you going?"Giving him a look, she replied, "I need a job.""I can give you money, or arrange for a position at my company. How does becoming my personal assistant or secretary sound?" He was smiling, but he was dead serious—he would never al

Ricky had decided to go to Lulu while Zachary was not at home.Lulu was just about to leave when he arrived, intending to look for Ricky since she needed his help.As they ran into each other at the front door, they stared into each other's eyes for a couple seconds before Ricky spoke. "Zachary is with James Cross. I came knowing that he won't be around—"Lulu stepped up and grabbed his wrist, pulling her somewhere quiet to talk. "I was just looking for you. I need your help.""What is it? Just tell me—I'll see to it," Ricky promised.Lulu gave him an address and told him, "There's a couple who lives there. The husband is Tobias Lang—he and his wife Barbara saved me. Zachary is threatening me with their safety, and I can't do anything or leave him because of that. That's why I need you to hide them so that Zachary would never find them.""That bastard!" Ricky cursed."That's enough, go already," Lulu urged, worried that they would be surprised if they were too late. Ricky held

Enrique was going to Seth the video when his phone rang.He answered it to Harvey's screams.Enqirueq's fingers clenched over his phone, his heart racing from the sheer horror of those screams. "Mr. Gooding?" he asked tentatively, but got no response.The call lasted for an entire minute, and Enrique listened for that long, his face turning pale.He did not want to imagine what inhuman torment Harvey was subjected to.Still, he was left dumbfounded when the call was suddenly cut off, confused by what just happened.Did they call him just to make him listen to Harvey scream?What was the point?"What is it? What's that look for?" Seth asked.Enrique shook his head. "I'm just worried about Mr. Gooding's safety.""Was that him?"Enrique nodded, and then shook his head—if his hunch was right, it was not Harvey, but Isaac who told his goons to do it.While he was still left confused about what the phone call was for, the door suddenly opened with a loud bang!Up to seven burl

Enrique clutched his head and curled into a bawl, his innards felt as if they were crumbling when someone kicked him in the stomach.Sweating buckets from the pain, he cried, "I-I really don't know…"It would have been better if he said nothing—it only got him a worse beating!James joined in as well and aimed a vicious kick at Enrique's chest!"Argh!" Enrique screamed as a loud crunch resounded, as if the sound of a rib breaking.He clutched his chest and turned pale, and started convulsing as if having trouble breathing.James told everyone to stop right then, or they might kill him."Honestly, did you boys have to go that far?"Everyone looked up and stared at him for a long while, as if to say 'look who's talking'. After all, James clearly did the most damage just now.Still, James cleared his throat and snapped, "What are you looking at me for?"Everyone continued to stare at him regardless, so he waved them off. "Fine, fine. That was my bad. Check him if he's alive."

Harvey stammered, "J-Just let him go… I'll delete everything I have."Still, James warned him, "You'd better make up your mind, and don't think about playing tricks. Otherwise, we would just capture him again—and when we do that, it won't just be physical torture."Harvey certainly had a plan and he glared at James after what he said. James sneered right then. "What's that look for? Did you fall in love with me?"Harvey really wanted to spit in James's face just then, but he just did not have the strength."I'll talk to Isaac," he demanded.James gave Harvey a look, but he said nothing and turned to leave. Isaac was standing in front of the window at the room outside, and James walked over to him."Harvey is going to talk."Seconds of silence ensued before Isaac turned around. "Bring him here.""Yes, sir," James returned inside and beckoned for his men to drag Enrique outside.Isaac walked into Harvey's room after that and lowered his gaze coolly at all the blood on the fl
The Runaway Groom Chapter 706
Isaac told Irene before that he did not mind, but did he really not feel repulsed at all?Irene became suspicious. It was not as if she doubted Isaac, but if she were in his shoes, she would still feel slightly averse after what Harvey did. She would not complain or doubt their relationship for that, since it was normal for a person to have reservations—and a person had their own feelings as well as opinions.She would not blame Isaac for that, and they both probably needed time to let the whole affair cool off.Settling down on the couch, she stared upwards at the clock on the wall, its ticking exceedingly clear in the silent room.She glanced at her phone, hesitating for a moment, but ultimately did not pick it up.She simply lay down and pulled her blanket over herself, closed her eyes and slept.…Zachary had sought out James to complain, but as James was busy, Zachary returned to his office.He headed home as soon as the skies started to turn dark, and only his mother
