The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46

Zachary nodded. Irene stiffened as if she had a bucket of ice water splashed on her, dousing her from head to toe. Isaac himself told her that he did not like Whitney, but if that really was the case, why would she be pregnant? Noticing the terrible look on her face, Zachary asked in concern, “Are you alright, Irene?”

Irene came to her senses and quickly shook her head. “I’m fine.”

She felt a sense of loss to hear that Whitney was pregnant, but she was soon relieved.

It did not matter to her who Isaac loved, just as she had no reason to get upset about that.

“No, you’re not,” Zachary said suspiciously, because she was almost overreacting. “Did you fall for Isaac?”

Irene looked up and met Zachary’s gaze. “Did I?” He nodded. “Yes, you did.” “Actually, I’m reacting like this because I’m worried, not because of him,” she said, walking over to sit on a bench. “I know my place- I won’t think of him that way.” At the same time, she stroked her belly.

Surely there were not many men willing to take the bullet and raise them as his own?

And given Isaac’s ego, why would he be interested in a woman like her?

In the end, she knew her place. “What are you worried about?” Zachary asked then.

“Whitney knows that I’m Isaac’s wife, and she’s so hostile she wants to harass me however she can. Now that she has Isaac’s child, she can bank on his influence to destroy me. It’s not hard to imagine how hard life would be at this point forward.”

She was barely finished when Zachary snapped impatiently, “That’s why I’m telling you to divorce him. That way, Whitney won’t be able to harass you, not to mention that you’re already pregnant.”

“I know.” Irene thought that she should visit Jefferson Manor after she got off work in the evening
