บททั้งหมดของ The Runaway Groom: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Isaac loosened his collar indignantly and snorted coldly out of his chest.He vividly remembered that the woman with him that night was so inexperienced.On the other hand, Whitney had a boyfriend. After seeing how intimate they had been, Isaac could tell that they had definitely done it before."The cameras were sabotaged that night so we lack definitive evidence, making it likely for a mistake. I'll check again… But it would have been ideal if you'd given her a token or something…" Stan said, heading off to the hospital while not forgetting to complain."Wait…"Isaac suddenly called out to him. "Never mind."Now that he had calmed down and thought about it, would a woman who spread her legs under those circumstances be a woman of virtue?Desiring her to be saint when she offered her virtue on a whim?He was asking for too much.Still, none of it meant a thing to him now!Whoever that woman was, he no longer felt butterflies in his stomach for her. Stan naturally did not u

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

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

"... 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

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
