The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184

“Isaac Jefferson?” Ricky became indignant. “Isn’t he your husband, Irene? He even sent his assistant to help you, but he’s suddenly harassing you?”

“That are you talking about, Ricky?” The supervisor appeared surprised. “He’s not married, let alone to your sister…”

After all, Irene and Isaac’s marriage was not publicly known, and not many people knew about it. Less important people like the logistics supervisor here were certainly not privy.

Irene smiled. “Ricky just got a little drunk. Don’t listen to him.”

With that, she started dragging Ricky to her office while telling the supervisor to leave work for now. “We will come up with something tomorrow.”

“Oh, okay.” The supervisor thought nothing of it, presuming that Ricky was really drunk. “Irene.” Ricky frowned. “Why are you dragging me? And you

did marry Isaac—”

“Ricky.” Irene cut him short. “We’re divorced, so don’t ever mention that to anyone.”

“When?” Ricky gaped. “Is he abandoning his son too?”

“He doesn’t know that Tommy is his,” Irene explained. “You have to keep it a secret too.”

Ricky appeared taken aback. “What, did you think I’d break my promise and tell Isaac about Tommy?”

“Ricky, we share a father, even if he’s gone now and we had different mothers. That makes you my brother, and that will never change. I hope you deserve my full trust.”

Irene had been doing her best to bridge the relationship between herself and Ricky for a while now, and hoped that he would not disappoint her.

Ricky pursed his lips and lowered his gaze, as she continued, “I’ll come up with something. Don’t worry.”

“Okay,” Ricky replied.

Ireen sat behind her desk, knowing then that Isaac was up to no good.
