Zachary was a little emotional.
He never expected that James would find his happiness after Isaac and Irene—especially when James constantly worked so hard.
And yet, James beat him in getting married.
Sighing again, he said, "Well, I guess I should send him something memorable."
"At least you have a conscience," Irene told him.
Zachary was left speechless—when did he become that horrible?
"Am I that evil in your eyes?" he asked.
"You're not," Irene replied. "You're just not that nice either."
Zachary shot her a look.. "You're really getting cheeky after hooking up with Isaac, huh?"
Irene promptly waved him off. "Pretend I said nothing."
Zachary snorted. "Save it. Make it up to me and have your son take self-defense lessons to be my daughter's bodyguard later."
Irene was left speechless.
Her son was precious too, please!
A bodyguard?!
"No way," Irene snapped, refusing to let her son do it—how far would he get in life with that career?
Nearby, Eagle was left speechless and blinking innocently.
Was being a bodyguard that unglamorous?
Fine, it was the service industry and not at all ideal…

Irene headed inside the castle to find Isaac standing by a window and speaking over the phone.
She did not know who it was, but he hung up when she arrived.
"Who is it? Why did you hang up once I'm here?" she asked casually.
Isaac looked up at her, and she walked up to wrap her hands around his arm, smiling. "What, did I say something wrong?"
