The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397

Stephen heaved a soft sigh and glanced at Mick, who clearly did not care about appearances now. “You heard? Honestly, he really is embarrassing himself in front of youngsters now…”

Irene gave no comment-she would not be here at all if not for Yvaine’s letter.

She said, “I’ll take the fall.”

Stephen did a double take-she changed her mind already?

He could barely keep up!

“W-What was that?” he asked in slight disbelief.

“I said, I’ll take the fall-”

“You don’t have to. My selfishness killed her, and I don’t want to live now that she’s gone. You don’t have to sacrifice yourself to protect me…”

Mick wobbled even as he rose to his feet and tried to carry Yvaine, but Irene said, “She remembered.”

Mick froze, and turned around after a while. “W-What did you say?”

Stephen was looking at Irene in shock too. “How did you find out?”

“She wrote me a letter, addressing it here since she doesn’t know where I live. I just read it-”

“What did she say?” Mick cried as he suddenly jumped toward Irene and grabbed her by the shoulders.” Tell me tell me right now! What did she say?!”

“She wants me to keep it a secret. I can’t tell you.”

“Where is it?” Mick was not about to give up. “You don’t want to tell me? Fine, just give it to me right now!”

“I can’t give it to you either.”

Irene’s tone and expression was aloof, and she brushed Mick’s hand off and left in silence.
