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

Zachary clasped a hand over Lulu's mouth, ignoring her flailing arms as he shoved her into his car and snapped at the chauffeur, "Drive!" The chauffeur quickly did so, while Lulu bit down on his palm in fury.Zachary frowned in pain, but was not letting go at all.He kept her firmly restrained and cried determinedly, "I'm not letting you go—ever!"Lulu glared at him. "I hate you and I'll never love you. You won't get anything even if you keep me confined, so get yourself another woman instead of wasting your time with me!""What are you talking about?" he growled angrily. "You're the only one I have.""Really?" Lulu was obviously skeptical, finding all his obsession nothing more than an act as he coolly asked, "Ricky told me that you were married and had other women before, or is that a lie?"Zachary had no comeback against that other than trying to explain, "My mother forced me. I was always loyal to you, and even if I did cheat on you, I didn't mean it!""Hah!" Lulu snorted

The sharp edge of the knife cut through cloth and flesh, and blood soon dyed Zachary's shirt red.Lulu's hands twitched for an instant, but she soon clenched her fingers and reared her chin at him. "Punish yourself however you want—it won't work with me. I won't shed a tear even if you die in front of me."Zachary thought he could hear his own heart shattering right then, and the physical agony he suffered was less than a fraction of his heartache.He would not believe that it was over between him and Lulu.They used to be in love, that was why he would not believe that she felt nothing toward him at all!He took her hand and put it on the hilt. "If you really feel nothing towards me, pierce my heart with this knife."Lulu averted her eyes. "So that you can make me a murderer? I knew you were always vile. Kill yourself if you want—don't try to pin the blame on me!""Oh, Lulu. You've forgotten everything but you're still stubborn as ever… alright, if that's what you want." Zachar

"It was his own fault."'Lulu did not feel her conscience gnawing at all, because she never lifted a finger. Naturally, Mrs. Slate was not about to believe her. "Really? Do you think you'd believe it if you were told that?""I would," Lulu replied.Mrs. Slate scowled. "You…""Please, I need a signature," the nurse interjected just then. Worried about Zachary's safety, Mrs. Slate quickly signed the consent form and said, "You have to save my son.""Don't worry, the doctors will do their best, and it's not that serious anyway."With that, the nurse returned inside with the surgery consent form, leaving behind a scowling Mrs. Slate. She did not speak to Lulu, but the gears in her mind were working furiously.It was clear that she could not make things work for Lulu—even if she had a change of heart and accepted Lulu now, Lulu's behavior only left her repulsed. Lulu kept demanding that she die for what she did, and had been hurting her and Zachary repeatedly.She probably w

James did not try to hide it. "Harvey got away."Harvey and his assistant Enrique had been seriously hurt, so James kept them in the same room without much security. Isaac realized right then that Harvey must have kept everything he had in Sunny City as a diversion.And once Isaac was gone, Harvey would inevitably make his escape—no matter what James did.Could this be his last resort?Isaac could not help pursing his lips—Harvey was really being elaborate with this one. "I know I should send our people after him, but we're too late… He already went abroad. It's weird now that I think about it, because he did not linger for a moment, and his outbound flight was arranged with perfect timing. I just don't get it! How did it pull it off so flawlessly?"The instant they realized that Harvey was gone, James sent his men to guard the airports and anyplace else he might be, but Harvey made it out anyway.It even looked like they had arranged their own capture from the timing of that

If they were not meant to be together, would they have ever met and became sweethearts at university? Zachary thought then that his mother was being ridiculous, saying that he and Lulu were not meant to be together! It annoyed him considerably, and he got out of bed.Mrs. Slate began, "You're hurt—""I'll live," Zachary growled impatiently. "You're so annoying."Mrs. Slate became silent, while he drove straight home.Naturally, Lulu was not there, and he expected that.He hung his head as he sat alone on the couch, thinking.…Lulu was staying at the house Ricky rented for her, but she was feeling dispirited for some reason. She was curled up as she sat on the edge of the couch, unable to stop himself remembering the sight of Zachary stabbing himself in the chest.Maybe… Just maybe, his feelings for her were real?She quickly shook her head as soon as the idea took hold, and got out of the couch to leave.Still, she paused at the doorway after putting on her shoes, hesi

The lunchbox was not from the cafeteria, and while the sliced fruits inside were not rare, it was not exactly common either.Not even Sheryl knew that she liked it because of its sickly sweet taste, even compared to other fruits. She loved it as a child, and since not many knew that, she soon had a hunch.To no surprise, Seth appeared at the door and he entered with a smile.Irene's expression was ice-cold, however. "What are you doing here?""Just checking in on you, or is that not allowed?""Nope," Irene said shortly. Seth was not discouraged, however. Even if he wanted to know what happened between Irene and Harvey badly, he was smart enough to not mention it."I remembered that you liked this fruit as a kid, so I bought it for you as dessert after your lunch."Irene lowered her gaze. She did like to eat sweet food as a child, but that was because life has been tough for her as a child.Now that she was an adult, she no longer relied on that stuff, and she did not he

Isaac did not answer right away, and instead asked, "Are you sick?"Irene took her hand off her stomach and denied it. "No… it's just my hip. It's sore from standing all day." Aside from the first glance, she had not been looking at Isaac since, and said even as she kept her gaze lowered, "It's late. We should go home."She started to leave, and tried to keep herself standing straight as much as possible, reluctant to let Isaac see that she was ill.Isaac remained where he was.Suddenly, he asked, "How long do you need?"Irene's back stiffened for a moment, and she began to stride off.She did not want to talk about it, and with him at that.Isaac quickly caught up, and took her hand despite his reluctance.She struggled a little, but she allowed herself to be pulled along since she could not free herself.He had parked his car outside, and the lights flickered as he whipped out his key and pressed a button. While he opened the door, Irene held the car door in place."Isa
