Chapter 385
Irene pursed her lips–she was aware that she should be staying home right now to take care of Tommy.
However, Stephen Carr would be examining Layla Gooding today, and there is a possibility that he would operate on her. Irene herself might be allowed to watch, and it would allow her to find out her secret.
That was why she must go to the hospital today.
“I’ll try to come home earlier, okay?”
She was not great in trying to appeal, and actually came off stiff.
Isaac was speechless, so she wrapped her arms around his neck and cajoled, “Pretty please?”
Even though it was not her best skill, Isaac enjoyed her trying to cozy up to him.
Smiling faintly, he said, “Get home by five.”
“Home by five, got it.”
“Good.”
Isaac finally agreed to it, and Irene gave him a peck on the lips. “I’ll have something to tell you by then.”
“Okay, and stay away from Harvey Gooding,” Isaac told her.
“Yes, definitely,” Irene promised–it was not easy to calm Isaac down, and she was not about to upset him again.
After a brief silence, he asked, “Do you believe in me? If that’s so, why were you still upset with me?”
Isaac gave her a cool look–even if it was obvious the footage had been doctored, he was upset because Harvey and Irene were clearly closer now.
Naturally, he did not want anyone near his woman.
“I’ll make him leave as soon as possible.”
Irene understood that Isaac was being a little petty, but him being childish was really adorable. It was such a far cry from his usual lofty and aloof appearance, but every side of him was bewitching nonetheless.
