Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 801 - Bab 810

Irene was hesitant to enter the diner, but Isaac called out from behind just as she was about to turn and leave."Why aren't you going in?"Turning and seeing him, she asked, "What's Zachary doing here?""He's buying us lunch, so it's natural that he's there," Isaac replied, gathering him in his arms. "It's almost one. Aren't you hungry?""I don't want to see him," Irene said.What?"Weren't you good friends?" Isaac said, actually feeling a little weird as he spoke.The fact that she and Zachary Slate had met each other before he met her always nagged at him. It was not jealousy since things were clean between them and lacked any attraction, but he was uncomfortable regardless.He could not explain what was wrong either!Irene rolled her eyes at him just then. "I heard from Lulu. She says she's getting married, and I wouldn't know how to respond if Zachary asked."Isaac said coolly and nonchalantly, "Just pretend you aren't aware."Irene sighed. "Yeah. Guess that's the onl

Mark got up and left the conference room, and Irene walked with him to the front entrance.She cheered up considerably after her conservation with Mark, and she then told Professor Lowe to contact New Sun Pharma, so that they could talk about the agreement New Sun Pharma wanted to sign with him. "I thought we should wait?" Professor Lowe asked—why the sudden change of plans?Irene said, "Someone will help us resolve the issue, so it went smoother than planned.""Oh… I shall go to them, then? Will you be coming too?" Professor Lowe asked."Actually, I'll pass," she replied—if she went, it would be no different from telling New Sun Pharma that she had a hand in this.Still, worried that Professor Lowe would get hurt if he went alone, she said, "My bodyguard will be going with you. He'll keep you safe.""Alright, thank you very much." Professor Lowe replied. With that, Irene sent Eagle to escort Professor Lowe to New Sun Pharma, while she waited back at Hotmesh Research.…Eag

Irene tried to push the crushing weight on top of her, but she could not make it budge at all. She opened her eyes and immediately picked up the faint scent of alcohol hitting her nose.Frowning, she asked meekly, "Were you drinking?""Just a little," he answered vaguely, nestling his head against her collarbone. "You're heavy…" she murmured as she pushed at him again.Isaac kissed her neck and started to undress her, without forgetting to answer, "Nope."His breathing was soon short and rushed, and Irene forgot herself amid the sounds of his breathing.There was no telling they had been at it, but she was left so tired she did not want to move, while all her limbs were sore.However, Isaac remained vigorous and persisted."I still have work tomorrow… Umph…"He kissed her before she could finish, cutting her off mid-sentence.It was after a long while that she was finally willing to release her, and she lay limply under the blanket, rasping, "Get me my pills."Issac opene

James had an idea of what Mick wanted to say, and so, he spoke first. "I'm convinced that time mends, and that Erin would eventually forget the trauma in the days to come. I don't believe that she'd be hurting forever, and I want to stay with her in the long run. You have nothing to worry about—you can entrust her to me, and I promise to make her happy for the rest of her life."Mick was going to ask James just that, and hence, he switched gears. "She still needs time to calm down. Give her some space.""I just wanted to see her," James said, nodding. "I didn't expect her to react that badly." "She's calm around us, but she can't do it around you," Mick explained. "That means she cares about you—what you think and how you'd feel. That's why she would lose control, so please understand her.""I know." James certainly understood and therefore did not take offense.Mick then asked, "Where are you staying? I have another house, you could—""At Swiz Hotel," James replied. "I took lea

James looked into Erin's eyes and smiled. "I like it that you're upset."It means that she cared about him, and that she did not want to share his body with other women.Erin lowered her head, her voice unwittingly turning raspy. "You're so annoying."James tenderly reached out with his arms to hold her.This time, she did not push him away, but she grabbed him by the collar instead as she forced back her tears.She was failing, even as she sobbed. "Could you not? Please don't make this difficult for me."Her shoulders were shaking and her tears started to roll, and she leaned against his chest. "I-I don't deserve to be with you…"James held her tightly then and kissed her hair and her cheek before whispering beside her ear, "You gave me your first time to me. I had you in your purest state.""No, I've been defiled…""Shush."James pressed a finger on her lips. "It's in the past, and I've punished the people who hurt you. They'll spend the rest of their lives in jail, and I'v
