The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379

Irene’s face fell the instant she saw that it was Harvey, and she wheeled on Ricky. “Is he why you’ve brought me here?”

Ricky had no idea why she was upset, and so quickly explained, “He came to me and asked for a favor. I thought it’s no big deal since he just wants to meet you, so I said yes. I can’t refuse him since he promised to gather evidence that Whitney Cox killed my mom, so…”

Harvey quickly walked up to them and apologized, “Look, I’ve realized my mistake, so I know that you’re angry with me and would refuse to see me. That’s why I had Ricky set up this meeting, so that I have a chance to say sorry. Is that alright?”

“I just hope you won’t do anything so childish again, and I’m not angry with you. You don’t have to apologize, and I’m leaving if there’s nothing else.”

After all, Irene could not care less about him now, and walked up to the curb to hail a taxi.

Harvey quickly rushed up to her and caught her wrist. “You’re already here–how about dinner together? This isn’t your typical diner-”

Irene glowered. “Don’t touch me.”

He could talk as much as he wants, but touching?

Harvey gingerly let go. “Why are you so cold? Weren’t we getting along just fine?”

Irene thought that he must be having a laugh right then, or perhaps suffered brain damage!

“Isaac and I are fighting because of you–am I supposed to thank you for that? If you really are sorry, just stay away from me.”

Harvey was speechless, and looked utterly wounded. “Aren’t we friends?”

“I’d rather not have a friend who keeps getting me into trouble,” Irene shot back.

Harvey was left speechless again–he just wanted to mess with Isaac a little. Was it even that serious?

“I actually met Isaac today. I was going to tell him the truth, but Stan Hill kept yapping at me, and I didn’t get a chance to talk-”

“Wait.” Irene cut him short. “You met Isaac?”

Harvey nodded. “Yeah. I was going to explain it to him.”

“Did anyone tell you to do that?!” Irene felt like she could die right then–Harvey showing up around Isaac would only cause more trouble!

“Come on, I was doing it for you…” Harvey groaned.

Irene waved him off right then–she was frustrated beyond words.
