The Runaway Groom Chapter 757
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 Runaway Groom Chapter 758
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

Isaac was quiet for a long time. Her parents died early and he went unloved too.However, he did not go through the disappointment of being unloved while his loved ones were around."I know that this is selfish of me…" Sheryl continued."I understand." Isaac was not upset because he had since come around. He and Irene were supposed to be equals. If he forced her to make sacrifices for his own benefit, that makes them unequal. She was already devastated after what happened to Erin, and yet he fought with her instead of offering her comfort.Sheryl was left puzzled for a moment. "Are you agreeing to her getting a job?""Trying to stop her was my bad," Isaac replied.Sheryl had more to say, since she really wanted to help her daughter get her right to keep her job.She was therefore surprised that Isaac was being so agreeable, and she was unsure what to say.Isaac rose to his feet and started to leave just then. "I still have work to do.""Yeah, yeah, you should go." Sheryl

Irene averted her eyes and tugged on her own sleeve."Sorry," she murmured, insecurity suddenly flooding her, making her evasive and afraid to look him in the eye!Isaac put down the towel on his head and strode toward her, his towering figure slowly eclipsing her small stature. "Look at me," he said, his deep voice rich and magnetic.Irene felt herself being cornered against the door. She slowly looked up while feeling the chill on her back.Isaac learned downward then and kissed her lips.Irene's eyes widened in surprise."Mmph…"She pushed him off. "Look, just calm down. I know that I made a mistake."Isaac studied her in turn, and saw that her cheeks were skinnier after just two days. His thick, black lashes were lowered and his dark pupils twitched. "It's not your fault, it's mine. I failed as a husband, and constantly made you sad even though you're my wife…" "No."Her bright, clear eyes welled with tears. "I was thinking that you must lack love since you lost yo
