The Runaway Groom Chapter 24
Irene had no idea what Isaac was talking about. Looking up into his eyes for two heartbeats, she eventually realized what it was, but she did not react.‘He must be humiliating me again,’ she thought to herself.She simply kept her head down and ate as quickly as she could.Isaac naturally frowned because of her silence. "What's the hurry? No one is stealing from you."He was actually perplexed—the boorish way she wolfed her food was somehow acceptable, even a little adorable.It was much better than pretentious women who put up a prim and proper act.Nonetheless, Irene waited until she was finally finished and drank two mouthfuls of water before snapping, "How I eat is my own business. Why do you care?!" Jobless because of him, she had nothing to fear now—it was time to go all out!Isaac slowly looked up, his visage projecting coldness just then. "You're too bored, aren't you?"‘What happened to her? What is with that false bravado? ‘And her wording… She really wants to

"Why bother pretending? Are you not manly enough to admit what you did? Are you disappointed that I denied that guy again?!" Irene growled through gritted teeth and pent-up emotions.Isaac flung her aside. "I didn't do it!"He almost threw her down on the floor, and Mrs. Watson had to catch her to keep her standing.At the same time, Isaac glowered and barked, "I won't let another man touch you long as you're my wife just so that you could cuck me again! Who was it?"Irene looked at him blankly then—taking his pride into consideration, he had no need to deny it if he really did… and he was not the type to do it, either!"Speak! Who was it?!" Isaac barked again, feeling mysteriously furious.Even he had no idea why he was fuming just because she had almost been raped!"It's the man from last time…"Isaac knew who it was even before Irene finished.After all, he did run into Harvey when he left Blue Bridge, so he instantly understood what had happened!There was a terrible stor

Harvey nodded—he really was interested in Irene, though he could not describe what he liked about her.Who knows? He might just be stirred by his impulse after being denied twice.Moreover, the fact that she had wounded him repeatedly makes for a strong memory!On the other hand, Isaac's anger eased a little when he found out that Harvey did not manage to have his way with Irene… but he was furious again to find out that he liked Irene.In fact, he was even more furious than before!"What do you like about her?" he asked, wondering to himself what was likable about that woman aside from cheating in relationships."I don't know, but one way or another, I want her," Harvey replied without hesitation.Isaac frowned, feeling as if his possession was being coveted."Stay away from her!" he warned sternly, which left Harvey befuddled. What was going on here?Feeling like gossiping just then, Harvey asked, "Are you interested in her too, Mr. Jefferson?"Stan was standing behind Is
The Runaway Groom Chapter 27
Isaac looked at Irene's curvaceous figure, his gaze turning distant as he gulped and worked hard to keep his tone even. "Did you think you could seduce me with this?"In reality, he had already been seduced, but his ego did not allow him to lust after her. "I-I'm not—" Irene stammered even as she picked up her towel to cover herself."Don't show you filthy body in front of me ever again," Isaac growled as he stormed off, slamming the door loudly behind him.He strode to the other room so that he did not have to look at her, but all he could think about was her alluring figure replaying repeatedly like the highlight of a movie.Unable to control his thoughts, he loosened his collar in frustration. Still, it was already loose, but he somehow could not breathe anyway! He was restless and grouchy, and he wanted to flip out so badly."That wretched woman!" he growled—she really was adept at seducing, and more frustratingly, he had to fall for her ploy!Taking off his necktie and u

"... No," Irene replied.She and Isaac were married only in name, so she did not actually have a boyfriend.Ms. Lang beamed just then, and linked arms with Irene intimately. "So, I have a favor to ask."Over the last few days Irene worked at the dance school, Ms. Lang had taken good care of her, but her sudden gesture of intimacy still left Irene unsettled. Gently pulling her arm off Ms. Lang's, Irene said, "If it's within my ability, you need just ask—I apologize in advance if it isn't."Hesitating for a moment, Ms. Lang then said, "Well, my husband is the owner of Dorime Pharmaceuticals, and he has a research team developing a medicine against cancer. He's spent massive amounts of capital, and there had been some progress when he ran out of funds. That's why he's looking to secure an investment, but as you can tell, not everyone is that eager. Luckily, my husband found an interested party recently, but the last meeting was a no-show from them. That's why my husband had the feel

Irene froze when she saw Isaac's burly figure entering the room. At the same time, Mark got up and greeted Isaac respectfully. "Mr. Jefferson."Somehow, Isaac's eyes darted past Mark's face and landed on Irene.Ever since he knew her, she never put on any makeup, and her usual sense of fashion tended to be conservative. In fact, he never saw her in anything with straps—but now, she wore a dress so red it seemed to accentuate the blush in her skin.Mark noticed that Irene was not moving, and reached out to tug at her. "Come on, please stand and greet Mr. Jefferson."However, when Mark's fingers touched Irene's hand, Isaac's expression darkened. If he was not sane, he would have rushed forward and pulled Irene toward himself.At the same time, Irene stood up, her dress accentuating her perfect figure, adding layers to her coquettish side for no reason.Batting his eyelashes, there was a brief flash that quickly disappeared from Isaac's eyes.On the other hand, Irene was nervou
The Runaway Groom Chapter 30
Isaac refrained from returning to the mansion because he did not want a repeat of that night.Even so, she had to show up in front of him again, and in this state!Her makeup and devilish fashion to curry a man's favor left him wanting to strangle her.If he was not the one who came today, she was going to be flirting with some other man, was she not?His ire burgeoning, inconsolable rage rushed up his brain and stopped him from thinking.All he wanted was to possess her! He hence moved so quickly that, before Irene caught his intention or realized what was happening, he had already jammed his lips against hers."Oof—"She tried to struggle, but as soon as her hands moved, he caught them and pinned them above her head, locking her against her seat. The kiss was brutish and invasive. Devoid of tenderness, it was more akin to a punishment—an expression of desire and possessiveness!Her lips were soft and had a sweetness like no other.Feeling a strong sense of familiarity, I

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!
