The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131

Looking into Irene’s eyes, Issac told her, “If you still hate me for causing your miscarriage and pushing you off the building, you can curse me and hit me all you will, or demand anything —-I will accept everything you ask, but not a divorce.”

Irene sniffled. “I hate you, but…”

But she could not control her own feelings, and fell for him.

Biting her lip, she asked, “Don’t you care that I’ve been with other men?”

“I don’t,” Isaac replied, because he knew that she was squeaky clean and had given him her first time!

Irene made up her mind then. “But… do you mind if I had a child with another man?”

If he accepted it, so be it.

If he refused to, she would hold no qualms about leaving, so that neither of them would be hurt because they had to stay!

On the other hand, Isaac did not catch her hint, and presumed that she was talking about their lost child.

His heart sank at the thought, and his chest felt as if it burned. “If your children were still here, I would love them as my own.

Irene was left in disbelief. “Really?”

“I wouldn’t lie!” Isaac replied with determination.

“Alright, then I have something to tell you….”

Bang!

The door suddenly swung open, and Stan appeared at the door, huffing. “Bad news, Mr. Jefferson! Whitney Cox is headed for the docks, where a boat is waiting to take her overseas!”

Stan’s appearance interrupted Irene’s confession, while Isaac promptly remembered how Whitney had swindled him.

Glowering, he asked, “Did you let her escape?!”

“No, our people are still following them, but they already boarded a boat. There’s little hope of catching up…

As Stan’s voice trailed off, Isaac barked furiously, “You’re all useless! Move, we have to stop thern!”

He then remembered Irene and turned to her. “Stay home. There’s something I must do.”

“Why is Whitney escaping?” Irene asked in curiosity.

“She made a mistake,” Isaac replied simply.

Irene nodded. “Okay. You should go.”

So, Whitney was getting her just deserts after putting her through amniocentesis during her

early pregnancy, exposing her to a heightened risk of miscarriage?

Isaac turned, barking orders as he strode, “Tell the people following them don’t let them get away at any cost!”
