The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264

Isaac entered, and asked, “You’re not sleeping yet? Did I wake you up?”

“No, I was waiting for you,” Irene replied. She got off her bed and gave him a hug, resting her face on his chest.

The move surprised Isaac, and he stiffened for a while before asking with a smile, “What’s gotten into you?”

“Nothing,” she replied. “Just wanted a hug.”

Isaac looked at her, “Let go. I’ll be back after a shower. I’m filthy right now.”

Irene tightened his embrace instead, gluing herself to him.

“What is it?” Isaac asked quietly, feeling as if she was not in her right mind.

Irene rubbed herself against his chest. “From now on, I’m your family wherever you go. I love you.”

His quiet voice turned raspy right then. “Really, now… What’s gotten into you?”

“Nothing. I just missed you and wanted a hug,” Irene stood on the balls of her feet to kiss him.

He was stunned, and though he responded enthusiastically, he pulled away spoon enough. “I need to take a shower.”

Irene actually found that odd about him. He would have hugged her back if it was any other day…

Had he lost interest in her?

She was naturally flabbergasted by the thought. “Did you fall out of love already?”

“What are you talking about?” he exclaimed, but he still was not touching her. “I saw a corpse on my way back. It’s bad mojo, and I don’t want you to get it.”

Irene wasn’t surprised, since as a doctor, she saw many herself.

Moreover, not a day went by without a patient passing away in a hospital.

Therefore, she was less afraid than curious.
