The Runaway Groom Chapter 890
As their eyes met, Irene pretended to be pensive. "Well, yeah. I'm too beautiful I bewitched you, making me fall so deeply in love with me…"Isaac was speechless—when did she become so thick-skinned? Irene sighed then and cupped his face with her hands. "I'm now the subject of gossip no thanks to you."Isaac smiled and put a hand on the back of her head, before leaning in to give her a light kiss. "Being gossiped about means you have their attention."Irene pouted. "I don't want that. Who knows what they are saying behind my back even though they keep smiling in front of me."Isaac rose to his feet, making an angry look. "I'll go warn them right now.""Stop," Irene exclaimed as she caught his wrist. "They'd say that I bewitched you if you really did.""Right," Isaac said, giving her a meaningful look. "You only warm my bed, after all."Irene was speechless for a moment and gave him a shove. "You're despicable."Isaac chuckled and caught her hand. "Get over here."Irene walke

Irene was not the two-faced type who could behave in one way in front of others while keeping another personality aside.In fact, she was not used to socializing in the first place, but she could not ignore everyone's greeting given her status.She was heaving a sigh of relief even as she stopped smiling, having been spared the need to be cordial.The elevator brought her straight to the basement parking lot and she pressed on the button on the car key. The headlights of Isaac's car flashed and beeped loudly right then, and she strode over to it when she found its location.Driving to the bookstore, she picked two recipe books on typical dishes before returning straight to Isaac's office and reading them on the couch.She would peek at Isaac's desk from time to time, and it appeared that he was having a teleconference with the Remy headquarters. His body appeared relaxed as he reclined against the chair, and depending on what the other end said, he was at times frowning or nonchal

Irene pretended to think about it. "We'll see. I can consider becoming a housewife if you're nicer to me."Isaac was at once amused and annoyed. "Have I mistreated you?""That remains to be seen," Irene replied. Isaac smiled helplessly and pulled her toward him. "Don't upset me now."Irene nodded repeatedly as she leaned against him. "I'll be good."Elliot was outside the restaurant as they pulled into parking, and greeted them as they alighted. "Everything's as arranged, Mr. Jefferson. They are waiting in a private room."Isaac nodded slightly. "Got it."He entered with Irene, but Irene asked as Elliot lingered outside, "Have you eaten yet?""I'll eat later," Elliot replied.He stayed because he was anticipating more orders from Isaac after dinner. After all, he brought Sheryl and Isaac's children there, so he was wondering if he had to drive them home as well—he was considerate that way.Irene then turned to Isaac, asking with a look if Elliot could join them.Smiling a

Isaac used his contacts and influence to pull up Irene's clinic records there.However, he had no idea what the term 'biochemical pregnancy' meant in Irene's case file. The gynecologist there hence told him, "To put it simply, it's an extremely early case of miscarriage. The embryo would be flushed out of the uterus before the amniotic sac is formed, and it'd look no different from menstrual bleeding."In Irene's case, her miscarriage coincided with her period, which passed it off as just that.Isaac understood then, just as he realized why Irene was apologizing while she was drunk.His mood was affected considerably, though something else concerned him more. "Would it affect her health?" he asked.He knew that Irene had already been hurt during her second pregnancy, and that she could no longer bear another child.But he was definitely content with both his sons. The doctor then said, "No, but her health is already not ideal."Isaac already knew that, so he left the hospi

Lulu Adams's voice spoke from the other end. "Irene? It's me. I'm calling you about Ricky… Have you heard from him lately?""No," Irene answered in reflex. "Was he looking for you?" "No," Lulu replied, and was suddenly hesitant. "Oh, nevermind. It's nothing…""Wait, why would you ask about him if he's not looking for you?" Irene certainly knew that Lulu would not call her over no reason, and certainly not to ask about Ricky.She must have news on him."Well, he did leave me a letter saying he wanted to make something for himself for leaving," Irene continued. "He never contacted me since, and I don't know where he is. You have to tell me if you have something on him."Lulu hesitated for a while and said shortly, "Martin is onto this case… which I think Ricky is involved in."Irene frowned. "He was committing crimes?""We're not sure at the moment, so calm down," Lulu assured Irene. "I'll talk to him when I actually see him."Irene was still worried. "You have to call me if yo

Isaac's voice was calm and quiet."Don't you have something to tell me?" Irene flinched right then, all her drowsiness suddenly gone.She opened her eyes to look at him, but she could not see his face because the room was too dark.However, she could feel him looking at herself.Her lips were twitching and her throat suddenly felt parched. "Don't you know everything about me?" she asked. Isaac's hands tightened around her waist, pulling her dainty figure firmly up against his own body. Her breath seemed to stop just then, and she called out to him softly. "Isaac…""You were at the hospital today," he said into her ear.Irene froze, her body stiffening.It took a long while for her to gradually calm down."Y-You knew?" she murmured softly."Yeah."Silence ensued, as if it could go on forever. As neither of them spoke, it was so quiet that they could hear each other's heartbeats.Ba-dump, ba-dump… In the end, it was Irene who broke the silence. "Don't you feel sad?

Putting down her belongings, Irene said, "I'll go talk to him.""It won't work even if you go—Brian Adam isn't going to say yes," Finn told her. "He was not the one who performed the surgery, so how would he answer the details when asked?"Irene remained adamant. "I could make a list of all the details…"Frustrated, Finn snapped, "You don't believe me? Fine. Go to him yourself!"However, it was not as if Irene doubted Finn—she just thought it was wrong to attend a publicity event when she was leaving. Moreover, she hated the spotlight.As such, she went looking for Brian.But even before she could say a word, he told her as soon as he saw her, "I'm not going. Don't try to talk me into it.""You're saying no even before I said a thing?" Irene asked."I didn't perform the surgery. I'd just be stealing your credit if I went," he replied."You're taking over as director soon anyway. It's nothing," she insisted. In fact, they had already agreed that he would take over as direct

The patient naturally sided with Irene, supporting her choice. "Very well!" the media representatives said.After all, everything from the promotional efforts to planning was already completed. Having to edit out the sensationalism was much more preferable to throwing away everything they had prepared. Irene was a little nervous since she was not used to facing the media, but the composure she honed from her career quickly calmed her down.At the start of the livestream, the patients' parents described their child's condition and how difficult it was to seek medical treatment. They went on to tell everyone that their child was only saved because Hotmesh Research managed to develop an artificial heart in time, and that gave their child a chance to live.The host then asked Irene, "Were you nervous when you took the scalpel, Dr. Spencer?""That would hinder my performance," Irene replied calmly. "Nerves have no place in this line of work.""Indeed, most doctors possess a stout h
