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."

"For what?" Zachary asked.

Irene simply kept smiling and closed the door at the next second, leaving him speechless.

He snapped at the door, "You scared my baby girl there!"

Irene naturally did not hear him.

Laying down in bed, she refunded one of the two plane tickets and booked another to Minerva.

She wanted to ask Isaac if it killed him to say 'I love you too', or maybe he had an ulcer in his mouth!

She even made sure to book her flight early, leaving before Zachary and without telling Isaac, since she was planning to sneak over.
