The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285

Even as Irene and Isaac’s eyes met, Ricky asked, “Why aren’t you answering? Hah! You don’t love her, do you? After all, a man like you can have any woman you want-why would you even get worked up over one woman? If anything, you’re keeping my sister… No, you’re keeping Irene just because she gave you a child!”

Irene never considered that, and when Ricky suddenly said it, it somehow made sense.

Was Isaac being nice because he loved her, or because of Tommy?

Ricky’s words certainly affected her, and if Ricky knew that, someone as smart as Isaac should know that as well.

That was when Isaac started walking toward her.

“Don’t come!” Irene exclaimed “The bomb!”

Isaac did not seem to hear her, however, and kept walking.

Irene blinked even as she watched him, blinking back tears as she smiled faintly and sobbed, “I’m sure you love me.

“You’re really stupid, aren’t you? He hasn’t said a thing and you believe him already?” Ricky exclaimed with a tone that said ‘I’m-doing-this-for-you.” “It’s only proof that he loves you if he dares to die with you!”

Irene turned toward Ricky. “Wait, what are you doing?”

“Testing him, of course.” Ricky said, looking at Isaac. “If I press this button and he still doesn’t move, I’ll believe that he isn’t responsible for my mother’s death, and that he truly loves you.”

With that, he pressed the button.

The timer on Irene started to count down in turn.

60, 59, 58, 57… They did not even have a minute!

Irene screamed at Isaac, “Run! You have to run!”

She did not need Isaac to prove his love like this-if they both died, Tommy would be orphaned.

And would Tommy survive, with all the enemies Isaac had?

The answer was almost certainly no, but if Isaac survived, he would be able to protect Tommy.

Nonetheless, Isaac merely smiled at her with a mysterious expression, leaving her speechless.
