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

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

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

Irene tried to push the crushing weight on top of her, but she could not make it budge at all. She opened her eyes and immediately picked up the faint scent of alcohol hitting her nose.Frowning, she asked meekly, "Were you drinking?""Just a little," he answered vaguely, nestling his head against her collarbone. "You're heavy…" she murmured as she pushed at him again.Isaac kissed her neck and started to undress her, without forgetting to answer, "Nope."His breathing was soon short and rushed, and Irene forgot herself amid the sounds of his breathing.There was no telling they had been at it, but she was left so tired she did not want to move, while all her limbs were sore.However, Isaac remained vigorous and persisted."I still have work tomorrow… Umph…"He kissed her before she could finish, cutting her off mid-sentence.It was after a long while that she was finally willing to release her, and she lay limply under the blanket, rasping, "Get me my pills."Issac opene

James called out to Erin. "Hey."It would have been better if he did not, as she quickened her pace when he did.James quickly ran after her and caught her wrist. "Why are you running?"His tone was relaxed and did not convey his frustration.However, Erin did not feel the same.She did not like James's touch because she considered herself filthy. "Let me go!" she snapped, dead serious.James refused. "I came all the way to see you. You'd hurt me if you still hid from me," He kept his tone as mild as possible so that Erin could let go of the past. "How about a movie tonight, seeing that I'm being sincere?"Unmoved, Erin snapped coolly, "Let me go!"James did not and kept smiling. "Whatever you say." Unable to shake him off, Erin was almost hysterical, and leaned down to bite his hand so that he would let go.He did not, even though she could taste blood. In fact, he was looking at her determinedly. "That brings me back."Erin then remembered her scuffle with James soo
The Runaway Groom Chapter 807
James had an idea of what Mick wanted to say, and so, he spoke first. "I'm convinced that time mends, and that Erin would eventually forget the trauma in the days to come. I don't believe that she'd be hurting forever, and I want to stay with her in the long run. You have nothing to worry about—you can entrust her to me, and I promise to make her happy for the rest of her life."Mick was going to ask James just that, and hence, he switched gears. "She still needs time to calm down. Give her some space.""I just wanted to see her," James said, nodding. "I didn't expect her to react that badly." "She's calm around us, but she can't do it around you," Mick explained. "That means she cares about you—what you think and how you'd feel. That's why she would lose control, so please understand her.""I know." James certainly understood and therefore did not take offense.Mick then asked, "Where are you staying? I have another house, you could—""At Swiz Hotel," James replied. "I took lea
