The Runaway Groom Chapter 755
Irene turned away. "Please don't ask…"James grabbed her arm as an ominous feeling seized him, but he kept his expression calm nonetheless. "Tell me," he said, keeping his voice quiet.Irene closed her sore eyes. "You have a hunch, don't you?"James released her then.Erin's clothes were in pieces when they found her, laying in the bushes near the car."That's why you shouldn't ask," Irene continued softly, hardly able to stay calm from the travesty. "I'll stay with her at all times, but she doesn't want to see you, so don't try to barge in. You'd only upset her more."James's mouth hung opened, but no words came outHe was devastated, and Irene felt her chest tighten seeing his reaction!"I'll take care of her. There will be someone with her at all times."With that, she returned inside the operating room.She was the one who operated on Erin, and therefore knew very well.Worried that she would upset Erin, she tried to keep her voice as mild as she could. "Let's get you

Isaac already had a feeling that things would be terrible, but hearing Irene say it left his eyebrow twitching and his expression darkened. He was furious because those men had been after Irene, and how thoroughly depraved it was!"Can you resign?"Irene did a double take—she did not expect that from him at all, and was left a little confused. "W-Why?""If you didn't take the job, I could have moved to Franconia with you. I've already arranged everything, and this would never have happened. I can give you everything I have—""You think this was my fault?!" Irene was flustered, glaring at him just then. "I admit that I was the cause for Erin's suffering, but… you're blaming me too?!"Isaac was silent for a while. "Calm down…""Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down?!" She raised her voice for a moment, and realizing her agitation and that this was not the place for it, lowered her voice again. "I'm hurting, and you're telling me it's because of me? Do you understand how muc

Irene did not know what to tell Erin, because she had no idea what James thought.Erin pursed her parched lips then. "I can't bear to face him even if he's willing." Irene understood how Erin felt and she wrapped her arms around Erin. "It's all my fault…""No, maybe it's destined and you can't be blamed. Someone up there was upset that I had too much of a good life, and that's why things ended up like this."She was an orphan, but she was adopted by kind people and led a sheltered life as if she had real parents. How many orphans could say the same?Maybe her luck was used up by now.Unable to stop her tears again, she rasped, "Do me a favor!"Irene felt her body shaking in her arms, and her eyes felt painfully sore too. "Shoot.""I want to leave.""Where to?" Irene asked, flustered. "You shouldn't be alone during times like these—your mind will play tricks on you…"Anxious, she put an arm around Erin's shoulder. "I'll stay with you."Her phone started ringing right after s

The masked man found his goons from way out of town, and no one in Cloud City knew a thing about them because they had no criminal record there.That being said, they had done more than their fair share elsewhere and were good enough to not get captured despite all that. "Oh, what could possibly happen?" The goons' leader—the lanky man with a scarred face_thought nothing of it. "No one would shout it to the world, and that woman's not going to call the cops—""What would you know?!" The masked man became furious. "It's a fluke that you actually managed to escape. Your opponent is as ruthless, and you'll all die horribly if you're careless! Watch yourself if you don't want to be that caught, because I'm not kidding here!"The lanky man asked worriedly, "Is it really that serious?"The masked man wheeled on him with an icy glare. "There's seven of you against one of theirs, but each of you ended up bruised and battered. Are you really still going to make light of them?"The lanky

James groaned, "Did you know? Even a six foot tall man like me wants to cry."Having experienced something similar, Irene naturally understood how James felt."Do you think I really love her?" he rasped, asking her as much as himself."If only I was nicer to her." He had always been busy at work when Erin was with him, and they only had dinner together on a handful of occasions. He refused to let her visit him at the office, believing that it would set a bad precedent. She wanted a wedding, but he used work as an excuse again even though she was pregnant, wanting her to just stick with him quietly.He regretted everything now that he thought about it—he was selfish and outrageous! How could he even make up for this? How could he make up for her wounded spirit?James looked up then. "I really want to apologize, but I know she would be distressed if she saw me… So I think I'll let her go, to have time to cool down while I find those dogs and personally avenge her. After that

Sheryl said, "Look, Isaac is not your average business owner. He needs a wife at home to keep an eye on things while he works. I know that he wants the best for the family, even suggesting that we go to Franconia with Tommy, since he already had a house and arranged for servants there. We'd be able to settle down quickly while his work would become more convenient… he never mentioned that again because of you, you know."Irene had never heard Isaac mention that before.She only found out he wanted to move to Franconia today—when they were arguing.Lowering her eyes, she murmured, "So that's why…""But the richer and more powerful he is, the less reason you have to deny your own self," Sheryl told her.She still supported Irene's work, and she would take care of Irene's children.As Irene looked up at her, Sheryl continued. "He may love you and care for you now, but you already had two children with him. There's all the pretty young women one would need out there, so I don't want

Isaac's cold visage became tender as he looked at his son, who was sitting in front of his desk.It was a tenderness he reserved for Irene and their children.As he scooped Tommy up in his arms, Tommy chirped, "Where's mama?"Isaac spaced out for a moment, but he soon recovered. "She's working. She will be back by the evening."Tommy leaned his head on his shoulder then. "I want to go out and play with you and mama.""Okay," Isaac agreed to it—he did not want to disappoint his boy, and he certainly did not spend that much time with his children.As Tommy clapped his hands happily, his bright eyes narrowed into little crescents as he smiled. It was just like Irene's smile, even though Tommy's facial features resembled his. Issac then remembered the pain Irene went through to deliver their boys.He should not have hurt her, even if he was not thinking straight.Thud, thud…As he was planning to apologize when Irene came home, he heard the knock on the door, and said, "Come i

Their airplane encountered some turbulence and dropped abruptly, but recovered in minutes.It was still daytime when they arrived at Minerva due to the time difference.Irene had contacted Mick Gooding beforehand. They saw him standing nearby soon after they disembarked. Irene told Mick what happened to Erin behind her back and he appeared somber.Still, he quickly pretended not to know when he saw them, mainly because he did not want to pressure Erin."Welcome back," he said with a smile. "Dad."Erin was doing her best to pretend nothing happened too, but she could not smile, only make herself look like everything was going fine.However, the dark circles under her eyes and her haggard reaction was a constant reminder that she was in bad shape.Mick pretended not to see that. "Come on. Let's go home," he said, putting an arm around her shoulder. "I had Consuella cook your favorite food. You must have missed the food here while you were in Zidonia, right?""Yeah, I do," E
