The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261

As Isaac kept laughing, Irene was left mystified. “What are you laughing about? Me?”

“No,” Isaac replied. “I’m laughing at myself for falling for your dad’s ploy.”

Irene was silent for a while, and laughed as well when she came to a realization.

“You like that about me?” she asked.

“I do,” Isaac said, composing himself as he continued, ” And I like that it’s you.”

Even if Irene knew none of that, he would have fallen for her anyway. Knowing that simply made her a more colorful personality.

Irene naturally did not try to nitpick, since it was her either way.

“She may have been foiled this time,” she said, returning the conversation to Robin. “There’s no telling what she’ll be up to next.”

“I’ll have Stan keep an eye on the Jeffersons,” Isaac replied calmly and quietly-as if they didn’t matter to him.

Irene knew she couldn’t be of help when it came to work. “I’ll do my best to not get in the way.”

“Right, I should go to the hospital,” she added, since she had yet to check on Ricky. “I know you hate him because he poisoned Tommy, and I do too. But my father entrusted his care to me, so I can’t abandon him.”

Isaac didn’t respond, but drove her to the hospital anyway.

They soon arrived. Knowing that Isaac would not want to see Ricky, Irene said, “I might stay for a while. You should go.”

Isaac certainly didn’t want to see Ricky, and so said, “I’ll tell Jimmy to come take you home.”

“Okay,” Irene replied, and stayed at the entrance, watching as Isaac drove off before heading inside.

Irene called Sheryl, and quickly found Ricky’s ward. When she entered and found him lying in bed, she saw that his face was still swollen, his right eye purple, and his arms and feet were all bandaged.

Irene certainly knows Isaac’s methods-she was once his victim, after all.

“How are you feeling?” she asked.

He was awake, and when he saw her, he quickly asked, Did you know?”

Irene knew he was referring to Isaac sending his people to beat him up.
