The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 1043

When Isaac did not respond, Irene messed with him by reaching underneath his collar, but he put a hand over hers, stopping her.

Glancing behind at her, he said, "In two days, ideally."

With that, he hung up, and turned around to wrap his arms around her waist, holding her tightly against himself.

They could feel each other's warmth through the fabric.

Irene looked up then, her hair still a little wet and bearing the lingering freshness of shampoo as she asked, "What would be ideal in a couple days?"

"Weren't you planning on going back to Zidonia? I'm asking someone to arrange for it in two days," Isaac replied.

She was indeed in a hurry to visit Lulu. In fact, remembering Lulu left her a little unsettled, especially since the officer who called Irene had been stammering but did not tell her how Lulu was.

It was certainly weighing down on her mind, and she was intending to get comfortable with Isaac, only to lose interest just then.

"Take a bath. I'm going to bed…"

Isaac was not about to let go, however—he held her a little firmer than, leaving her a little suffocating.

At the same time, he leaned in to breathe beside her ear with a deep voice, "Trying to seduce me and run away? Did you think that's going to happen?"

His warm breath was covering her entire neck, causing her to shudder.

Pursing her lips, she tried to shove him. "Let go…"

"No," he said and pressed his lips over hers.

"Oof…" Irene's breath was caught right then, and she almost could not breathe.

Even so, he was only kissing her ever fiercely!

As usual, he took the lead while she remained passive—he could always make her lose herself with relative ease and unable to control herself!

While her breaths turned ragged, Isaac's hand slid down to her waist and undid her bathrobe with a gentle tug.
