The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 1069

"Yeah," Isaac said. I've sent him off."

Irene laughed. "Efficient, aren't you?"

Isaac chuckled exasperatedly in turn. "I have to be—it's your order after all."

Irene lowered her head and bit her lip as she purred, "I will properly reward you once I get home."

Isaac certainly missed her since it has been over ten days since she had been to Minerva.

The days felt like years, and yet he had to restrain himself too.

After all, he would only hurt more if he kept letting her flirt with him, so he hung up right then!

Irene was left staring at her phone, speechless and frowning.

What was with him? Was he upset? There's no way, right?

Worried and reluctant to let him stay angry, she sent a text to appease him.

[Darling.]

No response.

[I miss you.] This time, it was accompanied with heart emojis.

Still no reply!

She then sent a cute emoji… and there was no reply once more.

Irene blinked. [I'm going to get upset if you still don't reply.]

This time, there was a reply, but it was just a single word: [Okay.]

Isaac was actually seated behind his desk with a finger on his temple as he swiped on his phone, reading her text repeatedly.

There was a doofus smile on his face—if either Stan or James saw that, they would definitely be laughing.

On the other hand, Irene was pouting as she stared at the single-worded reply.

Would it kill him to text more words?

Still, the doctor arrived just then, and Irene quickly texted him: [The doctor's here. I'll call you later.]

She turned and headed inside Lulu's ward, where the doctor was examining Lulu.
