The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455

However, Mick pushed a plate of food to her. "Not now. Eat.”

He did not mention Irene since she did not want too many people to know that she was alive, and therefore hid the truth from his own daughter too.

Even so, Erin’s curiosity got the better of her. "Just tell me already, Dad. I really want to know."

’Well, you’ve met Isaac Jefferson. What do you think about him?”

He was just changing the subject to divert her attention, but Erin fell for it anyway.

"He has the looks," she said as she searched her memory. "But his bad temper cancels it out."

Mick smiled. "And?"

’And what?” Erin was puzzled.

Mick actually thought that she might be interested in Isaac after meeting him given the ladykiller that he was, but it seemed not to be the case.

Still, he found comfort that Erin was so intent on finding Yvaine’s grave as well. She was a good daughter, even if she was adopted.

Nonetheless, Erin seemed to realize what Mick was getting at and shot him a glare. "Dad, are you getting senile already? We're half siblings-l won't fall for him no matter how good-looking he is.“

Erin was over two years old when she was adopted, so she naturally did not remember it at all.

Moreover, Mick and Yvaine raised her and cherished her like she was their own, and never mentioned the adoption.

That was why Erin had always believed herself to be their biological daughter.

"Yeah, I must be senile," Mick grumbled. "Had a little drink in the afternoon and I don't think I'm sober yet."

"Come on, Dad-you need a healthier lifestyle. I know you're sad after Mom is gone, but I still need you. You're my only family now," Erin cajoled.

Mick smiled. "Yeah. I'll cut down on the drinking now."

After having dinner together, Mick told Erin to head home without him, saying that he had something to do.

He headed to Irene's apartment, but had to wait outside since she had not left work.

Irene only returned around ten. She was wearing a thick trench coat over her long floral print skirt and had a scarf around her neck, hiding her burn scars. There was a breeze, pushing her clothes tightly against her skin and accentuating her bulging belly conspicuously.
