The Runaway Groom Chapter 797
James reported, "We have nothing to go on. The mastermind was very cautious." It was certainly worrying that they could not uncover the mastermind—it meant a time bomb was lurking in the shadows and going to blow up at any moment, catching them completely off guard!Isaac was scowling—he was worried too."Why don't we try to lure them out too?" James suggested.Since the mastermind's target was Irene, they just had to let Irene appear isolated while Eagle kept an eye on her from the shadows.That just might lure the mastermind out of hiding and they could set up an ambush to grab them in one swift stroke! While it was certainly an idea, there was no assurance that it would all go according to plan, and Isaac would never risk Irene."Let me think about it." Isaac needed a perfect plan, and James understood that too.Naturally, all that was left was to handle what was right in front of him for now, and he glanced nearby at the group of scumbags.Although he felt that it was be

No matter how Isaac thought about it, his son had clearly stolen Irene from him! And Tommy would not have come into existence without him!With Tommy still in his arms, he started to leave. "You're sleeping with your baby brother." Tommy blinked his large eyes, not making sense of any of it just then… until Isaac put him on the bed with his baby brother.Realizing that his papa was stealing his mama away, he grabbed the hem of Isaac's shirt and got up. "I want to sleep with Mama, not baby brother."Isaac watched speechlessly as Tommy got out of bed and scampered back to his room.Isaac sighed feebly.Whatever. He just had to squeeze a bit with them for the night.And yet, after he took a shower and returned downstairs, Isaac found Tommy curled up in Irene's arms and even leveling a challenging look at Isaac, as if to say that Irene was his.Isaac stood by the bed, watching his son for seconds, but he eventually gave in. Lying down on his side over the rather narrow edge behi

Irene stared at the text in surprise.Getting married?Who sent this? And who were they marrying? None of her acquaintances looked like they would marry soon.Erin Gooding and James Cross, perhaps?But they would not be making up so soon, would they?While she was left confused, more text arrived.[I thought about it for a while, but eventually decided to tell you because you're my only connection.]Irene had a hunch then, and quickly asked: [Lulu?][Yeah.]Irene asked almost in reflex: [Where are you right now? Who are you marrying?]…Lulu Adams stared at Irene's reply without moving. She did not want Irene to visit her or attend her wedding—all she wanted was a simple life.She decided to marry Martin York because he was the reason she found warmth in this unfamiliar city. When she smelled the sheep's fat during a team dinner days ago, she started to retch.When an older forensic doctor asked if she was pregnant, everyone started to stare at her weirdly.After al
The Runaway Groom Chapter 800
Lulu had to go to the frontlines because the forensic doctor on duty was occupied. This time, they faced a repeat offender who had already been wanted for three murders!He would rather die than be arrested, and amid the ensuing scuffle, he took Lulu hostage.Martin took a bullet for her and was almost killed—it was the first time she felt she was protected by someone else, staking his life on it.Once Martin recovered, she told him, "If your offer still stands, I will marry you."Although she still insisted on getting an abortion before that, Martin said, "Your child is mine. Believe me when I say that I'll take care of you and your child."She knew that she was just spurred by her gratitude to marry Martin, and it had nothing to do with love.All she knew was that Martin was down-to-earth and a man whom she could entrust the rest of her life to—and that was enough for her.She did not yearn for love, but stability.Instead of pursuing love, it was more ideal to find a perso

Irene was hesitant to enter the diner, but Isaac called out from behind just as she was about to turn and leave."Why aren't you going in?"Turning and seeing him, she asked, "What's Zachary doing here?""He's buying us lunch, so it's natural that he's there," Isaac replied, gathering him in his arms. "It's almost one. Aren't you hungry?""I don't want to see him," Irene said.What?"Weren't you good friends?" Isaac said, actually feeling a little weird as he spoke.The fact that she and Zachary Slate had met each other before he met her always nagged at him. It was not jealousy since things were clean between them and lacked any attraction, but he was uncomfortable regardless.He could not explain what was wrong either!Irene rolled her eyes at him just then. "I heard from Lulu. She says she's getting married, and I wouldn't know how to respond if Zachary asked."Isaac said coolly and nonchalantly, "Just pretend you aren't aware."Irene sighed. "Yeah. Guess that's the onl
The Runaway Groom Chapter 802
Isaac leveled a cool look at Zachary that pretty much said 'I knew it'."Shoot!"Zachary sighed again. "I wanted to ask Irene about Lulu, but she seemed wary about me so I didn't ask. Does she know something?""You're imagining things." Isaac told him off immediately. "Weren't you just putting your whole heart into your work lately? That's good, so keep that up."Zachary was speechless, wondering if Isaac could not understand him because he was leading a blissful life with Irene, so anyone else's business was not his. "Fine," Zachary said as he reclined against his chair.Isaac then put down his fork and knife. "Try to be nice if you meet a nice girl. It's not like there's only one woman in this world.""Really?" Zachary was not about to forget how Isaac brooded because of Irene in the past.Isaac stared at Zachary for several heartbeats before snorting. "I'm doing this for your own good. Don't talk about my past if you know what's good for you."Zachary chuckled. "I got you

Mark got up and left the conference room, and Irene walked with him to the front entrance.She cheered up considerably after her conservation with Mark, and she then told Professor Lowe to contact New Sun Pharma, so that they could talk about the agreement New Sun Pharma wanted to sign with him. "I thought we should wait?" Professor Lowe asked—why the sudden change of plans?Irene said, "Someone will help us resolve the issue, so it went smoother than planned.""Oh… I shall go to them, then? Will you be coming too?" Professor Lowe asked."Actually, I'll pass," she replied—if she went, it would be no different from telling New Sun Pharma that she had a hand in this.Still, worried that Professor Lowe would get hurt if he went alone, she said, "My bodyguard will be going with you. He'll keep you safe.""Alright, thank you very much." Professor Lowe replied. With that, Irene sent Eagle to escort Professor Lowe to New Sun Pharma, while she waited back at Hotmesh Research.…Eag
The Runaway Groom Chapter 804
James was certainly not acting normal, and Isaac flipped through the document he passed him while feeling puzzled.It was a company dossier and he did not notice anything out of place. "Can we build a partnership with them?" James asked just then.Isaac frowned in confusion at James at that—it was a Minervan company, a manufacturer of cosmetic products. What reason would they have to work with them? They were not involved in that field, and even if they intended expansion, it would definitely not be in this field.James quickly explained, "I heard that Erin is working there. If we're partners with that company, I have a reason to meet her."Isaac was speechless. Going through all that just to meet Erin Gooding? "What if she resigns when she sees you?"While James was left speechless, Isaac pressed on. "And if she gets a job in F&B after that, does that mean we have to expand into that business as well?"James could not say anything to that. Isaac got up and walked to his
