The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 1012

The deep voice from the other end spoke. "I miss you."

Irene smiled—that was what she wanted to hear.

She glanced outside the window again, where Lulu and Zachary had just parted ways, and Zachary was carrying Jean back to the hotel.

She said into the phone, "I love you, Isaac."

She did not want to be separated from him. She wanted to be with him forever without missing a second!

The fact that Lulu could not be with Zachary made her cherish her love with Zachary more.

She then asked mischievously, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"I have nothing to say," Isaac replied.

Irene lowered her gaze, speechless. "I see."

"Yeah."

Irene wanted to snap at him right then.

'Yeah'?

Forget not saying 'I love you too'—what was that attitude?!

"I'm eating. I'm hanging up now," she said and promptly cut off the call.

On the other end, Isaac was left listening to the machine beeping, while smiling faintly.

When it came to love, it would only be more memorable to say it face to face.

Irene was hungry earlier but felt no appetite at all, so she just had a couple bites before going back to her room.

She just lay down in bed when someone knocked on her door.

It was Zachary. "Have you booked our tickets? I can do it if you haven't."

"I have," Irene replied.

Zachary nodded and was about to leave when Irene stopped him. "Lulu came to visit Jean?"

Zachary turned around. "You saw?"

"Yeah, from the restaurant," Irene said.

Before Zachary could reply, she added, "Even if she carried her for just ten months in her belly, the flesh and blood connection there is stronger than a father's. It's a tragic situation for Lulu."
