Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 691 - Bab 700

Irene panicked, sensing that Harvey was different now.Softening her tone, she said, "It's ungentlemanly of you to take out your grievances on a woman, Harvey. Your quarrel is with Isaac, so take it up with him—""Oh, but I am. He's destroying my company, so I'm destroying his woman. Isn't that fair?" Harvey licked his lips. "You'll both suffer!"Irene looked around the room then and saw a closed window to the right. She judged that her body could squeeze through it and it was her only chance to escape. Keeping her distance from Harvey, she started to move slowly toward it. "Calm down, Harvey. We can talk about this.""Talk? Do you think I'm an idiot? There's no going back now!" Harvey saw through her intentions right then. He snapped smugly, "Trying to run again?!'Realizing that he had caught on, Irene dashed to the window at top speed—it was the only way and there was no time to think!However, when she tried to open it, she found that it was stuck in place, refusing to

Lulu flung her wrist, shaking Zachary's hand off, only for Zachary to catch her again, even going further as to wrap his hand firmly around her waist. "I know you hate me, Lulu, and I know I was wrong—but our love was true. Why do you refuse to give me a chance?""Why should I, after you hurt me?" Lulu asked in return. Zachary did not deny it. "Nobody's perfect. Is there anyone who does no wrong? I admit I was at fault, and I'm willing to change. Isn't that enough?"Lulu pursed her lips. "What did I ever see in you?"She was puzzled—was she an idiot in the past to fall for him?Zachary remained obstinate. "I'm not letting you go whatever you say."Lulu was incensed. "You're unreasonable!""Say whatever you want!" Zachary did not care!That was when Mrs. Slate returned from the hospital and she frowned when she saw the commotion in the living room. "What are you doing?"An idea immediately came to Lulu's mind when she saw Mrs. Slate and she turned toward Isaac. "You want m

Isaac had never lost his cool or his mind like this!After flooring Harvey, he lifted Harvey again and punched him in the face again.As Harvey kissed the floor again, his face was numbed from overwhelming pain. All he could taste was the increasingly thick scent of blood and something hard in his mouth.He spat it to the floor, and it turned out to be one of his teeth.He picked it up, frowning as more blood streamed out of his mouth.Still, he licked his lips and looked up at Isaac before bursting into loud, ironic laughter."Do you think you could fix anything even if you kill me? Haha!" He guffawed even as he lay on the ground, since he was not getting up anyway. "I've never won against you, but I finally did it, huh?"Isaac kept glaring at him, the vein on his temples bulging and throbbing!Suddenly, James kicked Harvey. "Shut up already!"He then moved up, intending to gag Harvey—Isaac would kill Harvey anyway if he kept running his mouth.However, Isaac stopped him

Seth had never been slapped, and his right cheek certainly stung.Nonetheless, Irene asked icily, "Does it hurt?""That's not the point," Seth quickly retorted. "I'm a man, and I can take a slap, but you're hurting my dignity here. How could I do this so casually…" Irene's slap was certainly loud, drawing much attention and leaving him blushing. "We're in a public place. Can't you see that everyone is watching?"Irene rose to his feet then. "If you were actually a fellow conspirator and not a tool, it would be a knife and not a slap."Seth turned pale, finally realizing the gravity of the situation, and he asked, "What did Harvey do?"Irene ignored him and simply strode out. Seth gave chase and caught her. "Come on, just tell me—"Irene shook him off. "Let me go!"Her almond eyes were glaring as if spitting fire—it was the first time she flipped out after what Harvey did.Still, she soon quelled her flaring emotion and said with utter coolness, "Don't ever show up around

Isaac arched his back but refrained from touching Irene—he simply picked up her blanket and adjusted it for her.Then, he stayed there for a moment and said ever so softly, "I don't mind."Those words left tears welling up in Irene's eyes.She kept her eyes tightly shut, and firmly bit her lip, holding it in so that she would not make a sound.Even so, her tears trickled out along the corner of her eyes, flowing over her nose and disappearing into her hair. As her body started to shudder, Isaac wanted to comfort her, but his hands hovered in the air for a moment before lowering.She needed time, and him being close would only add to her pressure.He breathed a deep sigh and returned to their bed, but lay on his side, watching her on the couch.They were going to have trouble sleeping tonight!…The night certainly seemed to stretch on, and both of them pretended to have slept and just woke up in the morning despite the dark circles under their eyes.Still, they both acted a
