The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171

At first, Irene’s enthusiasm had clouded his mind.

However, now that Isaac thought about it, she had been cold to him just this morning.

Suddenly, she was getting eager, even inviting him to a hotel.

It was clearly not logical.

“I just wanted to thank you. Is that so wrong?” Irene asked.

“What?”

“Stan taught me a lot today and helped with many decisions,” she explained. “I know that he did his best only because of you, so I want to thank you.”

“That’s it?” Isaac’s voice turned quieter.

It was not because she loved him, and wanted to be with him–she just wanted to repay him for helping her?

“Hah!” He snorted coolly and darkly. “So you’re giving yourself to me in return?”

Those words hurt Irene profoundly, but she repressed her pain and leaned against his arm, saying, “I love you.

Isaac jammed his foot on the brakes, stopping the car by the road.

His expression stiffened for seconds–her words certainly resounded in his mind!

“Do you know what you’re saying?” he asked quietly.

“I do,” Irene replied, and it was the truth: she had no choice but to do this.

Lifting her eyes to meet his, she said, “I do this willingly.”

Isaac realized then that he was not himself around her, and a single word or a smile from her could make him angry or sad.

“Oh, you.” He smiled, helpless and captivated.

He knew then that he had fallen within her control!

After he drove them to the hotel, Irene shoved him toward the bathroom once they arrived at their suite. “Go on, take a shower.”

Isaac’s hand was around her waist, his brow lifted in eagerness as he leaned in to whisper into her ear, “Can’t wait?”

Irene lowered her gaze and urged, “Go on.”

Nonetheless, the thought of her son gave her the resolve to pop the cap, and she poured the drug in as well.
