The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 1148

As Irene had Baby hand Erin a bouquet, Erin smiled at the child as she took the flowers. "Thanks, Baby."

Baby smiled, baring a row of stark white teeth.

Since Baby really looked like Irene, she said, "You'll definitely become a pretty boy when you grow up."

Irene rolled her eyes. "Why does that sound like an insult instead—a pretty boy with a girly face and all?"

"That's twisting words," Erin replied with a giggle. "He would definitely be a macho man."

"Aunt Erin," Baby blurted just then, able to speak basic words and phrases now.

Erin patted his head. "Where's your brother?"

"School," Baby said adorably.

"You're so cute." Erin grinned before looking up at Irene. "How'd you know I was here?"

"James was calling Isaac in the morning, but I answered," Irene replied.

"Oh," Erin replied, chagrined. "Well, that was embarrassing."

"So, what happened here? How did you tumble? You should really be careful in your final trimester," Irene said, her tone stern again.

Erin fiddled her fingers. "I thought I should make breakfast for James when I woke up, and the floor was wet, so I slipped."

She was too embarrassed to tell the truth. Though making breakfast was no lie, she fell because she tried to dodge James' impending kiss flirtatiously.

Naturally, that was too embarrassing to say, just as she knew she would regret it if anything bad happened to her baby.

"Just be careful from now on—you're pregnant," Irene said as she straightened Erin's blanket. "Anything you'd like to eat? I can get it for you."
