The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 447

Chapter 447

Irene's call was soon answered. "Is there a problem? Why are you calling at this hour? It must be midnight over there..."

Irene had been keeping contact with Stephen over the last six months, and he occasionally took photos or videos of Tommy there.

In fact, he recently sent her a video of Tommy, but she was now calling him again, intent on asking for more favors despite it although she would be asking too much.

But it was Tommy's birthday.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Stephen noticed her silence. "Like I said, I've already gathered the stuff you left on your desk."

Stephen did not dare to tell her the truth. Knowing that she would get worried, he decided to just tell her that she took everything-she was not going to find out from over there anyway.

Irene said softly, "I know, but that's not what I'm asking about. It's my son's birthday..."

"It took me over a month to get that video for you," Stephen told her.

It was certainly difficult for Stephen to reach Tommy, what with Sheryl and Mrs. Watson watching, as well as the bodyguards keeping watch.

"I won't impose, then," Irene said, understanding his point.

Stephen realized then that he was a little harsh, and sighed. "Sorry, I've just retired and I'm not in a pleasant mood. I shouldn't have thought like that."

"But you're not at the age to retire," Irene pointed out.

Stephen wondered if he could tell her right then that it was all because of Isaac.

All the merit and honors he earned over his career was all gone now.

The man was certainly as ruthless as he was unforgiving!

Irene seemed to pick up on what he was thinking, too. "Is Isaac harassing you because he found out?"

"No, I'm just getting tired. I could use the time to spend with my family too, " Stephen said, but even the look on his face said otherwise.

He appeared haggard, since his life's work was gone in a snap.

Nonetheless, he changed the subject and asked, "How are things over there?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, and work is going smoothly too," Irene replied. "I'll have my papers published next month too."

'TH make sure to read it," Stephen told her-he had been keeping a constant eye on her.

It had just been six months, but Irene had improved and enriched her knowledge so much he could barely keep up.

After a few more exchanges, they hung up, and Irene lay in bed, watching the video Stpehen sent her repeatedly.
