The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348

Then, she felt herself fall into a firm, warm embrace!

She curled up by instinct, and turned to look at Isaac, asking softly, “What are you doing? You scared me.”

Isaac watched her and growled, “You’re the one who stayed naked to seduce me.”

Irene was speechless. She did not even want to be naked, and he was the one she was for!

She whispered pleadingly, “Look, I’m tired, and I’m really late.”

“Yeah,” he said softly and carried her into the shower… and then did nothing.

She had been losing weight, which made him restrain himself.

Suddenly, Mrs. Watson was knocking on the door. “Mr. Jefferson? Stan Hill is here. He says it’s urgent.”

Irene heard her and shoved him. “Go.”

Isaac kept staring at her. “You don’t want me to leave at all, do you?”

Irene was speechless–she did think so but would never say it. Smiling, she reached out from the bathtub, wrapping her hands around his neck and splashing him with crystalline drops of water. “Stay here, then,” Thud, thud.

Mrs. Watson knocked on the door again, urgently this time.

“Mr. Jefferson…?”

Isaac left the bathroom then, taking a towel as he did to wipe his drenched neck.

Opening the door, he asked, “What is it?”

Stan walked up to him with a grim look. “Something just came in, sir.”

Stan handed him an envelope, and he opened in to find a photo.

His expression changed the instant he saw it.

“Come with me.”

He closed the door and headed to the study with Stan in tow.
