The Runaway Groom Chapter 31
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
The Runaway Groom Chapter 32
Whitney's hair was disheveled like a madwoman's, and she was clawing at Irene as she yelled, "You bitch!"Irene was left stunned for seconds, but when she came to her senses, she pushed Whitney away unceremoniously!However, she forgot that she was holding her shoes, and the heel scratched a red scar over Whitney's face!"How dare you hit me back!" Whitney screamed, her eyes bulging in rage.Still, when she tried to charge at Irene again, Irene coolly warned, "Hit me again, and I'm calling the cops."Whitney paused right then, her upraised hand freezing mid-air. She calmed herself—this was not the time to lose herself. Isaac's marriage to Irene had never been announced. Did that not mean that Isaac did not like her?Moreover, Isaac had promised to marry her. Did that not mean Isaac would divorce Irene at any time?The very thought calmed her, and she remembered that she had left a bad impression when she asked Isaac for money before. What would he think of her if she hurt Ir

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

On the other end, Stan relayed Whitney's message word-for-word without revealing the fact that he was acquainted with Irene.Meanwhile, Isaac's expression appeared to soften, and he was surprised that Whitney would ask for a favor for Irene."I'll do what I can," he replied. However, his quick response was not for Whitney's sake. Instead, he did not want Irene to stay jobless, having to present herself in a risque fashion and accompany strange men. Likewise, chatting about such… private affairs with other men online was unacceptable as well! Seeing the message with that man just now was unacceptable! "Understood," Stan said, hung up and relayed what he said to Whitney.Even so, she was not at all happy—Isaac was refusing to see her.…The next morning, when Irene arrived at the dance studio, Ms. Lang held her hands and thanked her repeatedly. "Thank you so much! Mr. Jefferson has agreed to invest in my husband's business! But… he also told me that Mr. Jefferson dragged you

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

On the other hand, Irene remembered Whitney's relationship with Isaac, and did not react well to Isaac's presence—not after what Whitney had done to her."I can do whatever I want. Why do you care?"She was utterly panicked just moments ago. Even though she had every intention to get an abortion after learning about her pregnancy, her rationality left her when she found out that someone was trying to hurt her children.The fear of loss—the fear of her children being hurt—had seized her.Moreover, Whitney had found out that she and Isaac were married, and must have presumed that the children were Isaac's.Was that why Whitney had tried to hurt them? Her nerves getting the better of herself, Irene forgot that Zachary was with her as she lifted her shirt.At the same time, Zachary saw Isaac's murderous gaze. He gestured for Irene to get off as he quickly explained, "I saw nothing."Once that was done, he quickly drove off, fearful that Isaac's wrath would catch him.Be that as i

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
The Runaway Groom Chapter 38
Irene came to her senses then, and quickly composed herself with a smile. "Nothing."Whitney just happened to arrive since it was work hours, and Irene reached for the door when she saw Whitney.However, Isaac caught her hand and said, "If you want to put up an act, you need to be thorough."Irene stared blankly at him, blinking her clear, crystalline gaze as Isaac leaned toward her.She withdrew by instinct, but Isaac put a hand around her waist and pulled her to him, smiling gorgeously as he said, "We're married, so we should act like that."Irene gulped, her cheeks turning warm as she met his playful gaze. She was left staring at his thick brows, and suddenly found her eyes as bright as the stars in the night sky. "Kiss me."Both Irene and Stan were speechless, and the air in the car seemed to turn still just then!"Whitney is right there," Isaac prompted Irene then. "Don't you want to make her jealous?"Irene pursed her lips, but steeled herself and reached out to wrap he
