The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 450

Chapter 450

The man's tall frame was blocking Irene's path and his shadow shrouded her.

It was a familiar face, too-because it was Harvey.

Irene quickly lowered her head, but Harvey was keeping his eyes fixed on her, as if he wanted to see through her mask.

"Who are you?" he demanded. '1 noticed back at the hall that you've been peeking at Isaac Jefferson-who is he to you? Why are you watching him so intently?"

"You're mistaken," Irene said quietly, avoiding his gaze even as she tried to leave.

Harvey was relentless, however, and intercepted her again. "Sneaking around as if you're afraid to let people see you? Are you a fugitive or something?"

This time, as he spoke, he suddenly reached out and pulled off Irene's face mask, catching her off guard.

"Hey!" she exclaimed in surprise, and quickly threw her hands over her face.

Beneath the lights overhead, the burn scars over her cheek and neck were revealed in their entirety.

Harvey actually flinched in shock.

"My god, you're ugly!" he cried, before turning toward Isaac nearby and laughing out loud. "Hahaha! Isaac Jefferson, your charm really has no limits -you're attracting the uglies now, too!"

Harvey then turned back toward Irene, suddenly noticed her bulging belly, and frowned. "Hold on... there's a man who got you pregnant? With that face of yours?"

Irene was naturally aware of how grotesque her scars were, but she still found her own knuckles clenching when Harvey called her ugly.

Nonetheless, she kept her head down, pulling up her collar slightly to hide her face and tried to leave again.

This time, Harvey directly grabbed her wrist and said, "What's the hurry? Afraid to be caught peeking?"

That was when Isaac started to walk toward them and Irene's heart raced faster with every step he advanced toward them.

Beckoning at him, Harvey called out loudly, "Did you notice? This ugly person has been peeking at you for a while now... Or maybe you know her? Wait, don't tell me that her baby is yours! Haha..."

Isaac simply gave him a look of cold disdain. "I actually think you're the one who's been stalking me."

He then slowly turned toward Irene.

Although he could not actually see behind her mask, Irene panicked and stomped her foot squarely on Harvey's.

"Oof!" He winced, and Irene took the opening to push him away and run away.

As Harvey looked down, he noticed the grayness over his shiny leather shoe, which was left flattened now.
