Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 401 - Bab 410

There was a clear twitch in Isaac's calm gaze right then, as if he was hopeful about what Irene was going to say.However, before Irene could tell him that Yvaine's death had nothing to do with her, she remembered the letter Yvaine left her.Caught in a dilemma just then, her lips trembled as she murmured, "I-I'm sorry. It was an accident… believe me."She hung her head with those quick words, and left the study as if fleeing. Quickly hiding herself in the washroom, she pressed a hand firmly over chest to restrain herself. However, her nostrils were already moist and her tears were flowing without control.She clasped a hand over her mouth to stop herself from crying out—so that no one would notice her misery.Still, it took her a long while to compose herself,At dinner, she sat away from Isaac, keeping her head down and not tasting her food at all.Isaac never spoke, but he put a glass of milk Mrs. Watson prepared in front of her, and left the dining room.Irene stared at t

"...Don't ever come back," Harvey finished.Irene was actually left stumped for a moment, and chuckled in amusement when she realized what he was talking about. "Do you think everyone is as childish as you are?""Me? Childish? How so?" Harvey protested, standing at her side and giving her a nudge with his elbow.Irene simply sidestepped and pulled away, while telling Rosa, "You're recovering well, so there's nothing to worry about—don't burden yourself over it."After all, people tend to get paranoid after heart surgeries, convinced that their hearts are now fragile and that they could die at any moment. However, the truth is that the human heart is the strongest and most resilient of human organs—it never stops beating the instant formed in the fetus.Harvey pursed his lips just then. "Why are you running? I'm not going to hurt you."Irene pretended not to hear him since she did not want to argue. "You may be discharged now."With that, she turned and left Rosa's ward, while

Irene quickly ran through what she just said. She did not say anything wrong, did she?"How am I lying, Mom?""Did you have a fight with Isaac?" Sheryl asked sharply.Irene quickly mustered herself and said, "No, we're doing fine, Mom… or maybe you don't want me to be fine?""Of course I do, but I'm worried—""You're being paranoid. Things are perfectly fine between us," Irene said, beating her to it."Really?" Sheryl still sounded a little worried."Yeah. Why would I lie? We are doing very well, so don't worry over nothing."Sheryl thought about it, and decided that she might be paranoid. "Okay," she said, though she sounded a little disappointed just then. "I was hoping to see you both since it's been a while."Irene said, "It's the same if I just bring Tommy along.""No, it's not—you and Isaac are married, and that makes him my son-in-law. That basically makes him my son too."Irene, however, became gloomy as she remembered how things were between her and Isaac, but t

Irene stared at her phone after texting Isaac, expecting a reply.However, she did not receive anything even as the car drove into the front porch.Irene tried to tell herself that he was busy, just to seek some solace. Nonetheless, Isaac was actually busy, and he was in a spacious conference room that could accommodate over a hundred people with dozens of executives. Many of them were foreigners, but they were all fidgeting despite being seated.While Remy had been founded recently, they had many of Light Group's profitable business and projects. Moreover, with Isaac's sharp sense in commerce and the trends of the market, his precise investment and exceptional judgment elevated Remy as a trustworthy investor in no time at all, and was making waves among their circles.In fact, one showbiz company that he invested in scouted up to four internet celebrities. Within two years, they built fanbases for themselves which numbered up to dozens of millions, but the executives of the co

There were too many people in the wedding hall for Irene to track down Ricky. "Mr. Jefferson." Someone approached Isaac Jefferson when he noticed Isaac just then—Isaac did not want to socialize, which was why he had brought Irene to a quiet corner in the wedding hall. "I heard that you left Light Group, so Isaac would suffice now, I believe? Honestly, Light Group is now a real mess, and after rumors swirled that Ian Jefferson owes a mountain of debts, he was not heard from since… but I'm sure you know if it's true, don't you?"Everyone used to revere and feared Isaac in the business, because he was as swift as he was decisive and merciless.However, now that he left Light Group, there were those who believed that he was nothing—just like Mr. Little here who would address him by his first name. Moreover, after Ian made such a serious blunder, the Jeffersons were no longer the dynasty from before and were far from untouchable.Isaac looked up coolly at Mr. Little right then and
