Chapter 392
“Come closer, and I’ll tell you.”
Irene hesitated for a moment, but walked up to Isaac anyway, only for him to reach out and pull her toward himself, firmly holding her in his arms.
Irene’s hands pushed against his chest to keep them apart. Blushing, she whispered, “W-What are you doing?”
“Just telling you why I was laughing.”
He then leaned down to breathe flirtily into her ear, “My wit passed into you when we did it, don’t you think?”
Irene flushed.
How shameless could he be?!
She shot him a glare in embarrassment. “You’re so… vulgar!”
Isaac chuckled. “Vulgar? Who cares, when I’m with you? We certainly wouldn’t have had Tommy if we cared.”
Irene was left speechless-where did his usual noble loftiness go? He was just a common scoundrel now! Worried that he would keep going, she said, “Anyway, we should get an expert soon.”
“Yeah. I’ll go make a call.”
Isaac just wanted a moment of respite with her to ease his mind anyway, since flirting with Irene relaxed him.
However, there was no running away from reality.
Irene took the moment to check on Tommy, who, despite his lethargy, kept calling out, “Mah-mah, mah- mah…”
She picked him up and gave him a peck on the cheek, while the baby leaned against her limply, too tired. after his fever to flail around like he usually did.
“Stick to milk for now,” Irene told Mrs. Watson just then-a fever would hamper appetite, so they should stick to milk and water for the time being.
“Yes, the doctor said as much,” Mrs. Watson replied.
Isaac then arrived after finishing his phone call. “We can go now.”
As such, Irene had to leave Tommy with Mrs. Watson, but she said, “Don’t worry-just do what you have to. I’ll take good care of Tommy.”
Irene nodded, then left with Isaac.
They headed to Central Hospital to meet the expert Zachary introduced, and the man himself was already waiting at the entrance when they arrived.
