Chapter 761

Isaac's cold visage became tender as he looked at his son, who was sitting in front of his desk.It was a tenderness he reserved for Irene and their children.As he scooped Tommy up in his arms, Tommy chirped, "Where's mama?"Isaac spaced out for a moment, but he soon recovered. "She's working. She will be back by the evening."Tommy leaned his head on his shoulder then. "I want to go out and play with you and mama.""Okay," Isaac agreed to it—he did not want to disappoint his boy, and he certainly did not spend that much time with his children.As Tommy clapped his hands happily, his bright eyes narrowed into little crescents as he smiled. It was just like Irene's smile, even though Tommy's facial features resembled his. Issac then remembered the pain Irene went through to deliver their boys.He should not have hurt her, even if he was not thinking straight.Thud, thud…As he was planning to apologize when Irene came home, he heard the knock on the door, and said, "Come i

Their airplane encountered some turbulence and dropped abruptly, but recovered in minutes.It was still daytime when they arrived at Minerva due to the time difference.Irene had contacted Mick Gooding beforehand. They saw him standing nearby soon after they disembarked. Irene told Mick what happened to Erin behind her back and he appeared somber.Still, he quickly pretended not to know when he saw them, mainly because he did not want to pressure Erin."Welcome back," he said with a smile. "Dad."Erin was doing her best to pretend nothing happened too, but she could not smile, only make herself look like everything was going fine.However, the dark circles under her eyes and her haggard reaction was a constant reminder that she was in bad shape.Mick pretended not to see that. "Come on. Let's go home," he said, putting an arm around her shoulder. "I had Consuella cook your favorite food. You must have missed the food here while you were in Zidonia, right?""Yeah, I do," E

Chapter 763

Isaac was quiet for a long time. Her parents died early and he went unloved too.However, he did not go through the disappointment of being unloved while his loved ones were around."I know that this is selfish of me…" Sheryl continued."I understand." Isaac was not upset because he had since come around. He and Irene were supposed to be equals. If he forced her to make sacrifices for his own benefit, that makes them unequal. She was already devastated after what happened to Erin, and yet he fought with her instead of offering her comfort.Sheryl was left puzzled for a moment. "Are you agreeing to her getting a job?""Trying to stop her was my bad," Isaac replied.Sheryl had more to say, since she really wanted to help her daughter get her right to keep her job.She was therefore surprised that Isaac was being so agreeable, and she was unsure what to say.Isaac rose to his feet and started to leave just then. "I still have work to do.""Yeah, yeah, you should go." Sheryl

Irene averted her eyes and tugged on her own sleeve."Sorry," she murmured, insecurity suddenly flooding her, making her evasive and afraid to look him in the eye!Isaac put down the towel on his head and strode toward her, his towering figure slowly eclipsing her small stature. "Look at me," he said, his deep voice rich and magnetic.Irene felt herself being cornered against the door. She slowly looked up while feeling the chill on her back.Isaac learned downward then and kissed her lips.Irene's eyes widened in surprise."Mmph…"She pushed him off. "Look, just calm down. I know that I made a mistake."Isaac studied her in turn, and saw that her cheeks were skinnier after just two days. His thick, black lashes were lowered and his dark pupils twitched. "It's not your fault, it's mine. I failed as a husband, and constantly made you sad even though you're my wife…" "No."Her bright, clear eyes welled with tears. "I was thinking that you must lack love since you lost yo

They met the wounded chauffeur at the door, who apologized. "Sorry I couldn't save the lady, Mr. Jefferson…"Isaac knows very well that he did his best, but he blamed himself regardless—he might be able to save Erin too if he had fought harder."I've arranged for another chauffeur. You can return to work when you're better." The chauffeur nodded and turned toward Irene just then. "Thank you, ma'am."He was only able to recover quickly because Irene tended to him immediately, and he also knew how affable she was after working so long for the Jeffersons.Still, he had never expected her to completely disregard the difference in status between them showing no hesitation or contempt as she tended to him meticulously. Irene smiled faintly. "It's what I should do."She was a doctor and helping others was her duty, not to mention that he was hurt because of her."Let's go," Isaac said then and started to leave.Irene paused for a moment to ask, "Did Finn Crowe send you the medicine

Irene was seething. Seth had to keep mentioning that repeatedly and he was asking for something so unreasonable! Forgive? Not in her life! "Eagle, I want him out of my sight. I don't want to hear him speak." With that, Irene turned around, not wanting to spend another second there… Until a sharp shriek gave her pause!Irene turned to see Seth on the floor, clearly in a lot of pain, but also unable to make a sound!She raised a brow at Eagle, who explained, "He can't speak now, ma'am. I'll now take him out of your sight." With that, he carried Seth out of the building effortlessly as if he was a chick.When he returned, Irene commended him before returning to her office.She must give it to him—professionals were just built differently, and were utterly efficient!"Director Spencer." Yolanda quickly went up to greet her fawningly when she saw her arrive.Irene ignored her and called out to Finn. "Call the head of robotics to the meeting room. I need to speak with him."

While everyone was caught off guard, Irene ran forward and lay Dennis flatly on his back, then barked at Finn to get an oxygen mask while punching Dennis in the heart.It was an emergency resuscitation technique, using the jolt of the impact to restore the heart's regular rhythm.Dennis's sudden suffocation was due to his malignant ventricular arrhythmia, stopping his heart and causing loss of breath. Finn soon returned with the oxygen mask, which Irene put over Dennis's face while continuing to massage his heart.The process lasted for five minutes until Dennis's heart rate returned to normal and his breathing turned smooth again.He was fortunate that help reached him in time.Helping him sit up, Irene asked, "Do you feel better?"Dennis nodded. "Much better.""Director…"Everyone was watching him worriedly.Although they were working at a research center, they were all well-versed in the medical field, and Dennis's symptom was enough for them to tell that it was something

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

Chapter 770

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
