The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 409

Chapter 409

As Isaac made his way towards Irene, her expression stiffened further, and her fingers dug further into her skirt

They were no strangers, but she was so nervous she could not speak.

She missed him so much too, but she wanted to run away as he approached.

“You’re going to leave your skirt wrinkled and unseemly if you keep creasing it,” Isaac said as he reached her, and reached out to pry her fingers off her skirt.

Feeling the coolness of her fingertips, he asked softly, “Are you cold?”

Flustered, Irene nodded, and then shook her head.

Isaac smiled. “It’s not the first time you’re meeting me. Why are you so nervous? Anyone who didn’t know better would think I’m bullying you.”

Irene lowered her gaze. “No… I’m just surprised you suddenly came back.”

Isaac lifted her chin and smiled faintly, “You pretty yourself so much. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

He was being so tender, and yet she felt that there was something between them.

“Come ib, let’s go in.” He lifted her hand and put it around his arm.

As Irene held on to him, she did her best to compose herself and sound normal. “Are you finished with work?”

“Not really,” he replied–there were still things to be done.

Irene was left disappointed. Was he deliberately avoiding her?

It has been days since he left, but he was still busy

“Does that mean you’re going to leave again?” She tried to sound as calm as she could.

Isaac was silent for a moment. “I won’t leave if you don’t want me to.”

Irene pursed her lip–she did not want him to go, but this was about work.

There were times when she was busy with work too.

Moreover, there was still a rift between them, and keeping him with her would not change things back to how they had been.

They both needed time–he needed it, to be precise.

Her makeup fit her. Though she had a simple attractiveness without makeup, she appeared devilish with it.
Reaching out to brush the dangling lock of hair behind her ear, he quietly said, “You look so beautiful today.”
