The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222

Robin stared at Irene. “Why are you so surprised?”

Irene quickly composed herself and smiled, “Well, I’m just a doctor who only has dancing as a hobby. I haven’t ever gambled even though I’m an adult, so an underground casino is both exciting and new to me
