Eagle replied, "No, I made sure to pull my punches.""Then why is he still there?" Irene asked. "I think his leg must have broken when I threw him, so he can't walk." Irene was left perplexed by Eagle's response.Seth could not move because of a broken leg? He must be kidding! "Why didn't he call somebody to help him? Why is he still lying there?""He can't talk, so it would be pointless to call anyone. And no one would touch him with me around."Irene was speechless, while Isaac suddenly said, "Not bad."He certainly did not forget that Irene had a crush on Seth before, and was naturally feeling schadenfreude from the situation! "Thank you, Mr. Jefferson."Eagle's stern visage did not twitch as he replied respectfully.Irene was once again speechless. "Call an ambulance. He'll affect passersby if he stays there.""Yes, ma'am," Eagle replied, while Isaac drove off. Eagle soon called an ambulance and followed it in his car. "Let's eat out with Tommy and visit the amu

The girl said, "You're drunk."She closed the door to the taxi, which drove them to the hotel.On the other hand, Zachary seemed to be convinced that she was Lulu. He caught her wrist as she mumbled, "Please don't leave me."The girl was certainly aware that he had the wrong girl, but it was her duty to serve all his millionaire needs and bear with it.Soon, the taxi arrived at the hotel and she helped Zachary inside. When she swiped the card to unlock the door, however, Zachary suddenly pushed her away, wobbling even as he snapped, "Y-You're not Lulu!" The girl did a double take, but walked up to him again. "You're drunk!""Who are you?" Zachary growled, narrowing his eyes. "S-Stay away from me."When he tried to push her away again, he stumbled backward in reflex and dropped on his bottom.On the other hand, the girl was scowling after being pushed away twice. "Look, I was paid to do this. Did you think I wanted to get all touchy with you?"She wondered if she should g

In the hotel, Zachary was glowering at the girl he did not remember well before him.Seeing that he probably did not remember that she left him outside his room, she smiled. "Yes, it was me."And yet, Zachary clearly remembered seeing Lulu.He saw her face so clearly, and she felt so real to the touch!Did he miss Lulu so much he hallucinated, thinking that this girl was Lulu?Walter was smiling. "Of course it's her. What do you think? Are you satisfied?"As he spoke, he pulled the girl toward himself, prompting a giggle from her. "Oh, you…"Zacahry glared at Walter, his dark eyes glinting dangerously as he pursed his lips. "I won't be investing in your business!""Mr. Slate…?"Zachary did not respond, but he simply took three grand in dollar bills from his assistant Juan and threw it at the girl. "That's all you're worth!"He was furious after being scammed, and it only frustrated him the more he thought about it! With that, he strode toward his car, leaving Walter confuse

"I'm fine," Irene replied.She was just glad to see Tommy laugh so much!Leaning against Isaac's arm and giving Tommy a pinch on his soft cheeks, she pointed at his cotton candy and asked, "Can I have a bite?" Tommy held it out to her and she took a bite, leaving sticky stains around her lips, which latched on the tissue when she wiped it. She regretted eating it, as she felt sticky all over her lips now."Over here."Isaac poured some bottled water over his fingers and wiped her lips, which easily removed the sticky stains. As he lowered his gaze to study her lips with a serious look, Irene felt her heart skip a beat at the sight of his beautiful face.She felt at once a little conceited and a little superficial. Having a man beside her and tending to her was certainly going to leave others envious, because she could sense many a young lady shooting looks at them! Smiling, she shifted closer to him as if to tell everyone else that he was hers. There was a jingle signali

"We have a hit. I'm heading over as we speak."James had managed to track down the goons, but they were out of town so he needed to head over to confirm right away.He was already on his way, but he decided he should give Isaac a head's up."Good," Isaac replied. "Contact me when you have something.""Sure."With that, Isaac hung up and turned around, only to see that Irene was gone from their table.His heart skipped a beat—the unending list of trouble that occurred to her was almost freakish, leading to his mind always jumping to the worst-case scenario. He looked around frantically, but he eventually found her carrying a paper bag.He frowned and strode over to her. "Where did you go?"Irene held up the paper bag to show him. "I bought you donuts. There's nothing else available this late."As Isaac stared at her in silence, Irene presumed that he disliked it too. "Everyone likes snacks, but if you don't want it, we can just head home and ask Mrs. Watson to cook you someth

Irene frowned as she tapped on her phone again, and it was another message. [Refuse, and I will come to you at your workplace.]It almost sounded threatening. "What now?" Isaac asked. Irene pursed her lips, searching her mind endlessly to find who would possibly do this.No one came to mind apart from Seth Hedge, but he was not about to bother her with a broken leg. "They would look for me at work if I don't go," she told Isaac, unsettled.She was wary, and certainly did not like having this weirdness like this happening to her."I'll drive you to work tomorrow," Isaac said.Irene looked at him, feeling apologetic inside that she could not care for their family as a wife, or ease his list of worries. Instead, his own work was affected because of her.She lowered her gaze to Tommy, who was asleep in her arms. Both him and his baby brother were basically raised by Sheryl Harris. "Give me two years, Isaac. Dennis Turner picked me, and he's not going to find someone else

The way the woman was butchered senselessly left Lulu flinching, even though she had seen her fair share of gore. Still, she quickly composed herself and opened her equipment box, whipped out a pair of gloves, and began examining the victim: a young girl with a pretty face.Initial examination suggests that she was tortured to death, though further investigation was needed for more details.Lulu was not distressed or embarrassed to see the victim brutalized beyond description, but she instead calmly and thoroughly examined every part of the victim's body, including the privates.When she was done, she said, "Initial post-mortem suggests extensive damage to internal organs to be the cause of death. Most of the observable damage is in her womb." "Is there nothing else?" Martin asked. "I took some samples to examine back at the lab. We might get something more conclusive there.""Good.""Captain, check this out," an officer said, picking up a bloody beer bottle.Martin glanced

Isaac and Irene turned simultaneously to find a blonde, fair-skinned foreign lady standing at the front door. She was young and beautiful, but Irene was positive she did not know her."You are…?""Are you Irene Spencer?" the woman repeated—her pronunciation was so perfect that no one would think that she was a foreigner if they only heard her voice. "Who are you?" Irene refused to answer her again."I'm asking, are you Irene Spencer?" Lara was equally stubborn and imposing!"I don't know you," Irene replied, and took Isaac by the hand and started to leave.Lara rushed toward them. "Don't you run away—"Eagle caught her the instant she strode forward and she glared at him. "Let me go." There was no way Eagle would—instead, he shoved with just his wrist, bouncing her off.Lara stumbled backwards and slipped, hitting the floor on her bottom. She frowned in pain but got up, dusting herself. "That was rude!" she snapped, pointing at Eagle and throwing the law in his face.

Soon after the wedding, Mr. Fowler proposed for Stan to work at his company to get used to the work over there.He was worried as he did not have much time left, and it would not do if he was gone before the proper arrangements were made.Still, Stan returned to Franconia with Isaac and his family, sorting out things at work and finishing every task he had on hand.While Isaac used to have a lot of free time with Stan around, he was just slightly busier after Stan left. After all, no company should operate in a way that losing a single person would stall all their operations.And after a week, Stan sorted out all the remaining tasks he had in Franconia and returned to Zidonia to start work at the Fowlers' family business.While Stan had property in Zidonia too, he moved into the Fowlers' mansion, but not as a live-in son-in-law. He was simply aware of Mr. Fowler's illness, and Rea wanted to spend more time with her parents.And as the son-in-law, he was obliged to do that much.

Despite feeling wistful, Mr. Fowler eventually passed Rea's hand to Stan. "I hope you will both cherish each other from now on."Rea told him, "We will."Thereafter, it was the usual proceedings of a wedding, with exchange of rings and vows, the wedding speech, and the luncheon!Though everything went smoothly, Mrs. Fowler could not help shedding tears.She was pleased that her daughter was finally getting married, especially since she was looking forward to this.But now that Rea really did marry, she was worried that her life might get difficult and unhappy.Such was the worrisome nature of mothers.-Later, Stan led Rea to Isaac's table.They were all acquainted, but Stan introduced everyone once again to reacquaint them with Rea.After all, she was no longer Zachary's friend's cousin now, but Stan's wife.Erin was grinning from ear to ear. "Congratulations.""Thank you." Rea smiled in return."Congrats," Baby said, imitating the adults.Rea reached out to stroke his c

Zachary said, "I heard you sealed the deal with Rea Fowler, and her family is preparing for your wedding."Stan smiled. "I'm the look of success—getting a girl couldn't be simpler. See? I'm getting married already.""Well, I guess we're all taken now," Erin said.Tommy poked his head up just then. "Congratulations, Uncle Stan.""Thank you." Stan chuckled, patting his head."Also, I heard that you're marrying into the Fowler family?" Zachary asked.Everyone turned to stare at Stan in shock, but it was understandable.Stan was not that modest that he would have to go that far—he had money and was successful enough to afford a wife.Still, Zachary—who knew the Fowlers—suggested, "To be fair, they do need someone to take care of the family business…"-Either way, it meant that Irene's family would be delaying their return trip to Franconia.After all, none of them had expected to attend Stan's wedding so soon after Zachary's.Stan himself did not expect that either, as he had

"What's the problem? We've already slept together," Rea said as she put her clothes on.She frowned as Stan was still on the bed and not moving. "What, are you going to stay in my bed forever?""What am I supposed to wear?" Stan shrugged. "You haven't brought my clothes here.""I'll get it for you."Rea remembered his suitcase then and hurried downstairs to bring it up."Wear whatever you like. I'll be waiting downstairs," she said and hurried away.Stan got out of bed and put on a suit—it was only right to dress formally when it came to discussing marriage.After cleaning up and heading downstairs, he found Rea sandwiched by her parents.Stan had no idea if she had already mentioned it, but both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler were both staring at him, leaving him further tense.Clearing his throat, Stan began, "Excuse me, but—""Yes, we agree to you marrying our daughter.""You mean marrying into our family," Rea corrected them.Everyone else was staring at her before asking all at o

If Rea asked her parents now, they would only get sad, and life would become difficult for everyoneWhat should she do to make them happy?Right, she could get married! Her parents would definitely be pleased. As for the choice of bridegroom, did she not have one readily available here?If Stan could pretend to be her boyfriend, he could definitely be her husband too.They could fake their marriage if they had to!Putting the medical file back where she found it, she wobbled up to her feet and left the room.Stan had yet to step out of the bathroom when she returned, so she sat on the bed and waited.After a while, Stan stepped out with a towel around his waist and paused when he saw Rea sitting there. "Where are my clothes?" He asked, presuming that Rea had forgotten since there was nothing on the bed or the table. "My suitcase is still in your car trunk."Rea turned toward him. "Let's get married."Stan was left speechless for a moment and soon chuckled, "Did you forge

Mrs. Fowler smacked her daughter, but while Rea thought she was angry, she said instead, "Just do your best."Rea's mind was blown—were her parents bewitched? They were completely different from before! A long time ago, her parents had used to tell her that she did not have to marry as long as she was happy.But later on, they had persistently sent her on blind dates… and now, they were telling her to seduce a man?Touching her mother's forehead, Rea asked, "Are you sick?"Mrs. Fowler slapped her hand off. "Your dad and I are leaving now.""Yeah." Mr. Fowler nodded. "The chauffeur is waiting."Rea walked them to the door and watched as their car left before returning inside.She did not go upstairs since Stan was asleep, and she would be bored—she was the type who just could not sit still.However, it was inappropriate if she left since that would leave nobody home.In her boredom, she thought of pranking Stan. She headed upstairs to find him asleep, and soundly at that.Ca
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1259
Unable to argue against her parents, Rea said, "Fine, fine. Whatever you say."Mrs. Fowler smiled. "Then help Stan upstairs to get some rest.""Which room?" Rea asked.Mrs. Fowler realized with a start and quickly said, "Oh, there's no bedding in the guest room… So let him stay in your room."Rea was left staring at her in shock. "When did you get so open-minded? Letting a man stay in your daughter's room?"Mrs. Fowler shrugged. "What can he do when he's drunk?""Haven't you heard of drunken fumbles?" Rea asked.Both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler shook their heads at the same time. "Nope."Rea was left totally speechless—this was just outrageous!She would think that Stan was actually their son, if it was not for the fact that they were not acquainted before.They were not like this before either—even if they were urging her to get married, they were not throwing her at a man like this!Mr. Fowler then said, "If anything happens, we'll demand that he takes responsibility and marries y

"I get it," Stan replied quietly. "I wouldn't have been upset even if you didn't explain yourself. But since you did, I forgive you."Rea's brow creased as she pursed her lips. "See? I knew it. We really shouldn't be too nice to you."While Stan was speechless, Mrs. Fowler was enthusiastically putting food on Stan's plate. "This is our family's favorite dish. Try it."Stan nodded after a bite. "It's good."Mrs. Fowler smiled, while Mr. Fowler poured him a glass of wine. "Can you hold your liquor?"Stan smiled. "More or less.""You're being humble now." Mr. Fowler smiled at him. "You're definitely a good drinker.""A little."Rea had enough right then. "Dad, Stan has work to do, and he has to return to Franconia tomorrow. You're going to make things difficult for him."Mr. Fowler smiled awkwardly. "Right…" "You think?" Rea huffed, snatching his wine away. "Everyone only gets to have one glass."Mr. Fowler glared at Rea. "Party pooper."Rea shrugged. "I'm doing this for your

Rea turned her head aside. "Then what's your hobby?"Stan did a double take and remembered his life… which was work and more work.It had been years since he took leave, and he would not get to goof off the last few days if it had not been for Zachary's wedding.Hobby? He certainly did not have anything like that.Now that he thought about it, his life was boring and monotonous, and he did not have anyone very close.That was why he wanted a kind, understanding wife to care and offer him company while he took care of her needs.When he looked up at Rea, he clearly felt that she was not for him—he needed someone to take care of him, but with her, he would be busy taking care of her instead."You're looking at me weirdly," Rea suddenly said."How so?" Stan asked.Rea moved closer, looking him in the eyes and asking solemnly, "Don't tell me—you've fallen for me?""You don't just suffer from a flawed personality—you're narcissistic too."Stan pursed his lips and checked the tim
