The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 1035

The dress unfurled, and Erin could tell immediately that it was an alluring sleeping gown—she had to let it loose to see what it was.

She had never dressed in anything so risque and was at once thrilled and delighted.

She wondered how James would react when he saw her put it on, and the very prospect excited her.

Still, she wanted to surprise him, so she left it outside, while James returned after his shower. "Did you find it?"

"Yeah," Erin replied evenly.

"What was it?" James asked, somewhat curious.

Still, he presumed it to be jewelry, since women loved their necklaces, bracelets, and the like.

"It's nothing," Erin replied.

"It's nothing? What is it?" James pressed.

"I need a shower," Erin said and headed straight to the bathroom.

James chuckled. "Is everything alright here? We just got married and we're already splitting our wealth? What's so valuable that you can't show me?"

"It's a priceless treasure. I'm not giving it to you just like that." Erin flashed a mysterious smile at him and left the bedroom.

James did not press her. He simply smiled and lay in bed to wait for her.

Even though he and Erin had always been together, they have been constantly restraining themselves from getting too intimate.

On one hand, he had yet to fully recover, just as Erin was still traumatized after what happened before, and he would never initiate it lightly in fear that he would reopen old wounds.

That said, she was much better these days, and her personality was slowly changing back to what it was like before.

James naturally hoped that she would become carefree, down-to-earth, and earnest like before, which had been as adorable as it was captivating.

He smiled, seemingly remembering a moment they shared together in the past.

Nonetheless, he waited for a long while but Erin was not returning—she should have been done with her shower by then.
