Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 611 - Bab 620

Irene's eyes were red as she looked away from Isaac. "It's nothing," she said, rubbing her eyes. "It's time for breakfast! Also, I've spoken to my mom, so she's not going to keep railing at you."Isaac would tell her immediately if he knew anything, and he did not, so it must mean he did not have anything yet.Isaac naturally knew what was bothering her, since he felt equally terrible as the missing child's father. Mentioning it would just make them sad, and since Irene changed the subject, he played along and said, "James Cross has recovered. Let's visit him after breakfast."Irene nodded. "Okay." Isaac then got up and gathered her in his arms, offering a silence assurance.Irene forced a smile. "Let's eat. I'm hungry," she said, and pulled him out of the bedroom as she rambled on. "You must miss Tommy since you've been away, right? He's perked up now, but don't hug him so soon—it's bad since his rash hasn't faded completely…"Isaac quietly listened, and Sheryl was there

Before Isaac could answer, Erin said, "He's not actually my half-brother—I'm just adopted. I'm not my mother's biological daughter, so you don't have to ask him. We can be together if we want."James wanted to explain that he knew about that and had zero connection with Isaac, and Yvaine was the only thing that connected them.Even so, he found it necessary to clear the air, since Yvaine was Isaac's mother too.Still, Isaac beat him to it before he could say anything. "Your relationships have nothing to do with me."Like Erin said, she was adopted—so what did that have to do with him?Taking Irene's hand, he told James, "Now that you're better, we can go." "I'll check in at the office tomorrow," James said. Isaac heard James, but he did not respond. As he headed outside with Irene, she asked, "Will you be busy today?""What is it?" he asked in return. "Well, Mark Wickers helped out a lot with the research for the antidote," Irene told him. "I'm thinking about treating eve

Irene was scowling. "He just married her days ago and he has a baby now?"Isaac was suspicious too, and they both were wondering if the baby Harvey Gooding was holding was theirs. After all, Harvey had always been hostile toward Isaac, and he now felt the same toward Irene as well because of how she kept rejecting him.Given his style, he would have kidnapped their child in retaliation.Irene was agitated that she was going to run up and interrogate him—she could not stay calm where her child was concerned.However, Isaac caught her. "Calm down.""That child might be ours! How could I stay calm?!" Irene snapped impatiently. "Irene," he reasoned softly. "Even if you asked, he won't admit it—""Yo!" Harvey spotted them just then, and was starting towards them, even holding up the child he was holding as if flaunting."I have a kid now too," he told Isaac provokingly. "But you don't look too happy. What, am I an eyesore just because I have a son now?""Your son? Just days af

It was Harvey who answered the door, but he appeared annoyed. "I thought you weren't coming.""I was delayed," Irene said flatly. Harvey stood aside to let her in. "Come in."Irene stood at the doorway, glancing inside warily, and she only entered after seeing someone else inside. Harvey closed the door and asked, "What are you worried about? That I'd do something to you?""Have you ever succeeded?" Irene asked.Harvey was speechless—he had to give it to her, she was certainly cunning.Since the subject was not to his advantage, he changed it. "This is my wife, Heather."The woman on the couch had the baby in her arms and she greeted Irene politely. "Hello. Harvey told me a friend is visiting, and that would be you, right? Pleased to meet you,".Having no idea what Harvey was actually up to, Irene politely smiled in return. "Likewise."Harvey walked up and put an arm on Heather's shoulder, watching Irene as he said, "We're supposed to be friends, but she skipped out on our

"Yeah?" Issac replied—he wanted to know the result too."No," Irene said, shaking her head.The baby was not related to her at all!There was disappointment in Isaac's eyes, but it quickly faded as he gathered Irene in his arms, softly assuring her, "It's fine. It doesn't matter—we'll keep looking. I've even received word from my PI that he's on Kim Sherwood's trail. We just have to be patient."He had already prepared her for this outcome, just as he had prepared himself. It was obvious that Harvey would not bring their child out in the open if he really snatched him, and this simply proved that.Even so, Irene could not help feeling despondent. She was worried that her child was suffering…However, calmness and composure was a doctor's tenet, and she quickly composed herself. Turning to James, she said, "You can return the child to Harvey now."They had no reason to keep him since he is not their child."But is the boy Harvey's?" James pointed out, but Irene did not test
