Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 1011 - Bab 1020

The deep voice from the other end spoke. "I miss you."Irene smiled—that was what she wanted to hear.She glanced outside the window again, where Lulu and Zachary had just parted ways, and Zachary was carrying Jean back to the hotel.She said into the phone, "I love you, Isaac."She did not want to be separated from him. She wanted to be with him forever without missing a second!The fact that Lulu could not be with Zachary made her cherish her love with Zachary more.She then asked mischievously, "Why aren't you saying anything?""I have nothing to say," Isaac replied.Irene lowered her gaze, speechless. "I see.""Yeah."Irene wanted to snap at him right then.'Yeah'?Forget not saying 'I love you too'—what was that attitude?!"I'm eating. I'm hanging up now," she said and promptly cut off the call.On the other end, Isaac was left listening to the machine beeping, while smiling faintly. When it came to love, it would only be more memorable to say it face to face. -

Irene frowned slightly. Did Isaac really think she was Stan?To be fair to him, she never made a sound and came out of the blue.And without his vision, he naturally would not be able to tell that it was her.She watched his surprised look and smiled mischievously before speaking while changing her voice. "Mr. Hill asked me to take care of you."As she spoke, she lifted his blanket and put her hand on his chest…"Stan Hill!" Isaac bellowed right then, startling Stan outside and sending him scurrying inside. Irene did not have the time to straighten Isaac's clothes or button it, leaving his chest bare.Stan glanced between that and Irene's innocent look, and he was left frowning.What was going on there? He was not surprised that it happened since absence made the heart fonder. He was just surprised why Isaac would call him in.Smiling, he asked, "Is there something you need me for, Mr. Jefferson?""Throw out the woman you brought in!" Isaac barked grumpily.Stan was lef

Irene was the one who initiated it, but she was also the one begging for mercy soon enough.Pressing herself against Isaac's chest, she said, "Your eyes haven't recovered yet…""Yes, but I'm still able-bodied…" he retorted, leaning in and reaching for her lips for a firm kiss.Since it had been a while when they were together, he really missed her… especially physically.And with Stan keeping watch outside, no one would dare to disturb them.Soon, the skies turned dark.Irene fell asleep, nestled in Isaac's arms.She groggily heard Isaac's voice—Stan just came in, bringing food.Opening her eyes, she asked, "Are you hungry?" "I should be asking that question," Isaac smiled. "What time do you think it is?"Irene glanced at the time to find that it was already night—she arrived in the afternoon.And there went an entire day.Getting out of bed and straightening her clothes, she told him, "Let's get you cleaned up."Isaac would need help with showers since he could not see,

Sheryl was upset at that. "How's Tommy or Baby lacking?""No—they're just too young to be talking about marriage," Zachary quickly explained.He seemed to remember Irene mentioning that Isaac wanted a daughter, but Isaac probably had no hopes for that in this life.It was time for Zachary to show off his daughter when Isaac came back.Sheryl could read that smugness from his face. "Sons are a blessing for parents too.""Of course." Zachary grinned. "He's just a little too blessed."Sheryl could not say anything to that.-Irene stayed with Isaac at the hospital ward. It was huge enough for them, and there were no unconcerned people around.The day before they returned to Franconia, she received a call from Erin, who was pleased to hear that Isaac made a full recovery after asking about it. Then, Erin asked when they could return.Irene said, "We've booked a flight for tomorrow…"Erin became silent for a long while at that and appeared hesitant to speak."What is it? You

Isaac could read Zachary's mind right away, but Baby was not going to be a bodyguard. How could Zachary even think of sending Baby to self-defense classes?! Dream on!Irene came over to tease Zachary. "Your daughter's still in diapers. You're getting ahead of yourself." Zachary sighed. "It's inevitable when you have a daughter, and I'd like it to be your sons instead of anyone else. At least you and Isaac won't harass Jean and would actually help care for her. And when you're Jean's mother-in-law, you should treat her nicer since she's Lulu's daughter too!" Irene was left speechless.She was still very young—becoming a mother-in-law would only happen so far in the future, and it was way too early to think about right now."I know," she said nonetheless. "Now let Isaac's rest. His eyes have just recovered.""Are you saying that I'm pestering him?" Zachary asked. Irene was speechless. Even if Zachary did not did not mean it, how could he chase Isaac around to talk about the
