The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126

Irene’s expression darkened as she stared at Isaac holding that girl.

It hurt-as if someone had shoved her heart on a meat hook

“Did you come looking for me?” he asked her then, looking fixedly at her as if afraid to miss a sliver of her reaction.

Irene, however, feigned nonchalance and flashed an impeccable smile. “No, I didn’t. I was just passing by, and I have something else to do. I’ll be leaving now.”

With that, she returned to the car, and urged Jimmy to drive away as fast as he could. “Move, now!”

All she wanted right then was to get out of that place, and even as the car moved, she did not even look out of the window once, as if fearful that she would see Isaac holding another woman again.

She wanted to slap herself right then she actually came to make peace, and come clean to him!

“He’s the enemy!” she murmured, giggling self-deprecatingly. “You must have gone crazy- .or drugged, Irene Spencer! To think you’d fall for the man who killed your child!”

“Mrs. Jefferson…” Jimmy murmured as he glanced at her through the rearview mirror.

Talking to herself and looking a little too agitated… Did she finally lose it?

Irene rubbed her face behind her palms and composed herself. “I’m fine,” she said.

“Shall we head to the mansion?” Jimmy asked.

Irene shook her head. “No. Let’s go to the hospital.”

They soon arrived, but as Irene alighted and headed to Lionel’s ward and knocked on the door, she heard Samantha’s voice from within.

“Come on, Ricky. You know that your father won’t live long, so curry his favor and always be wary of Irene. There’s a chance she’ll beat you to your father’s estate, even though you’re his only son and you deserve everything he has.’

However, it appeared as if Ricky did not like what his mother was saying. “Why are you talking about the inheritance already, Mom? Dad is still alive!”

“I’m just planning ahead for you, alright?” Samantha insisted, because she knew that Lionel still cared about Irene and wanted to be prepared for any surprises.

“You really have to be smart now, Ricky. Be sweet to your father, make him happy and don’t cause more trouble. Also, stop Irene from meeting him at all costs, or she’s going to try to sweeten him up for favors. I mean, what would happen to us if your father suddenly has a rush. of poo to the brain, and gives her everything? You know I’m not married to him, and you’re still an illegitimate son. We have to be cautious.”

Ricky, however, was not as devious as Samantha. “I’m his son. He’d never abandon me.”

“Don’t you see?! Sheryl Harris left town for almost a whole year just to force him into a

divorce, but your father refused’ He must still have feelings for her he doesn’t care about us! “Samantha snapped, the very idea leaving her fuming

Sheryl was clearly eager for a divorce, but Lionel just had to refuse!

It was obvious that he never wanted to marry her.

In that case, what did she amount to?!
