All Chapters of The Runaway Groom: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Why would Irene and Isaac be talking to each other, and did she really just hear Isaac mentioning a divorce?What was going on?Whitney sneaked up, intent on eavesdropping for an answer! Meanwhile, Irene hung her head, sullen as a toad—this was going to be the hardest decision she had ever made.If she left right now, she would be breaking her promise to Henry, who had basically rescued her mother and paid for her surgery. She owed him, and she would be an ingrate if she left Isaac.It left her in a dilemma, but she suddenly looked up. "Weren't you eager for a divorce? Why are you refusing now that I want one? You didn't fall for me, did you?"Isaac froze for a moment, but he soon started laughing icily. "Oh, I just want to keep you around and make you suffer! Fall for you? Dream on!"Irene bit her lip, realizing how terrible the man before her was! He would do anything just to torment her, including using their marriage as a tool! He was truly rotten to the core! To no o

Irene took a step back in alarm as Harvey studied her from head to toe.She appeared a little disheveled, but it did not dull her beauty—her red gown only accentuated her womanly wiles further.His expression darkened, and the thought of her repeatedly hurting him field his impulse to seize her and give her her just deserts!Alighting, he said, "We keep running into each other, don't we?"Irene turned to run, but Harvey slid in front of her thanks to prior experience. "Where do you think you're going?"Irene turned pale in fear, because she knew very well what he wanted."Irene Spencer, was it? Did you use to play football? Have you any idea how much my nose bled after you hit me?!" Harvey snarled, because she was the first to absolutely wreck him!He approached her as he spoke, and Irene backed away, barefooted as she was still holding her heels and staring at him warily.Nonetheless, that was when Stan suddenly returned. Seeing what was happening, he quickly alighted to stand

What should she do? Irene could not believe that she was pregnant, but quickly composed herself and left to get an ultrasound.Through it all, she wondered if the pregnancy test results might be wrong, but the scan revealed that she was two months pregnant. "Congratulations, you have twins!"Irene was utterly dumbfounded.She was really pregnant? And with twins?!"Are you sure there's no mistake?" she asked hoarsely."Of course not. Why would there be? See here? Two gestational sacs," the doctor said as she moved the mouse cursor, outlining the area.Irene craned her neck for a look, and seeing the ultrasound left her overwhelmed with various emotions."However, I can see that you're not feeling well. You should rest more now that you're pregnant," the doctor said then."Understood," Irene replied.With that, she picked up the ultrasound sheet and left the ultrasound room. Whitney saw Irene leaving and entered. She probed the doctor and found out right then that Irene wa

Irene raised her chin defiantly because she must. "No," she retorted. Giving in, Isaac explained, "There's nothing between us, but I have to offer her special privileges after certain things happened—that's all."It was outrageous that he would explain himself to anyone, but ever since he learned that Whitney had a boyfriend, he felt nothing for her ever again.The night they shared? The tender moment? All those sentiment, gone!All he felt for her now was tolerance, just because she had saved him that night. Feelings had nothing to do with it! At the same time, Irene's eyes widened as if she had discovered some incredible secret.So he was just being nice because he owed her—there was no sentiment involved.She grinned, a marvelous idea occurring to her just then.Isaac frowned. "What are you smiling at?""Nothing," she replied, but her tone was gentle like never before, which left Isaac beside himself in shock!He looked at her, puzzled and wondering why she was acting

Irene had hit Whitney so hard that her palm was numb, and her eyes were filled with fury. "You're a doctor. You know that an amniocentesis to a mother in early pregnancy will cause a miscarriage. A slap is a lot less than what you deserve!"She would not be this merciful if anything were to happen to her twins!On the other hand, Whitney had never ever suffered such indignation and humiliation—her eyes went red as she snarled, "Irene Spencer!"However, she had barely raised her hand when someone caught her wrist, and she turned to find Zachary watching her."W-What are you doing here?" she stammered.Zachary shoved her aside. "Did you think you could do anything you want if I'm not around?""She hit me first!" Whitney cried, pointing at Irene. "Can't you see my face?"It turns out that Zachary had seen Irene do it, but he had also heard their entire conversation. "You were trying to hurt her baby, weren't you?"Whitney could not say anything to that, and turned furiously to gla
