The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 1054

After waiting for a long while, Isaac became disappointed since Irene was not calling him back.

He refused to call her, too—did she not miss him at all after being gone for so long? She even refused to tell him that!

Nonetheless, he rubbed his temples and mustered his spirit as he stared at the documents on the table.

One wrong decision would lead to severe losses for his company, and he assumed his usual working mindset of calm and prudence.

Irene did not sleep well the entire night, as she had this nagging feeling that Isaac was angry.

Still, she decided she would not explain herself clearly if she called back, and that she must get home soon to check on the children and talk to Isaac so he would not keep feeling upset about it.

She could stay there for a couple days before coming back too.

She ate the breakfast Eagle bought in the morning, hesitating for a moment before telling him, "I think I'll rest easy knowing you're here."

Moreover, his colleague would need time to get here even if she was hired, and that would delay Irene's trip to Franconia.

Irene needed to come back as soon as possible for Lulu's next surgery.

Eagle stared at her in turn. "Are you sure you want me to stay, ma'am?"

"Yes," Irene replied. "Right now, you're the person I trust most, and Lulu is very important to me. That's why I won't be at ease with anyone staying with her, except for you!"

"Ma'am." Eagle lowered his gaze, afraid to let his gaze linger on Irene for too long every time in fear that he would stray out of line. "I'm willing to stay since you trust me so much, but there's still your safety to consider…"

"I'll be fine. And I will be careful," Irene said, having past experiences and knowing how to protect herself.

"Yes, ma'am," Eagle replied. "I could teach you some techniques for use in case of emergencies too, should you have time in the future."

"Of course!" Irene agreed to it immediately. "Actually, you can teach me now!

Irene's flight was in a few hours, and the doctor had already done his rounds this morning and told her that Lulu was in perfect condition. Lulu was also asleep, so they had to practice outside so as not to wake her up.

Eagle looked at Irene in turn and was quiet for a moment before saying, "Okay."
