The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 471

Chapter 471

Irene's body and thoughts froze.

H-He was awake?

What should she do?

How was she going to explain herself?

Could she say that he was too good looking, and that she could not help it?

What should she do?

The instant she felt him hold her, she came up with so many excuses...

But Isaac never opened his eyes, even though he was actually pushing his tongue up against hers now and was kissing her so hard that he was almost devouring her.

She felt her breath leaving her lungs.

Was he really awake...?

"I missed you, Irene..." he murmured, almost unintelligibly.

But she clearly heard it.

She froze.

He just said... He missed her?

A crystalline drop of tear slid and trickled off the corner of her eye, dripping on his cheek.

Isaac did not wake up-he was actually dreaming.

Irene slowly got up.

So, it was all just sleep-talking.

"But I'm happy to hear you say you miss me."

She wiped the lipstick from his lips, pulled his blanket over him, and left the hotel room, gently closing the door behind her.

James was already waiting outside as she stepped out-watching the door, sticking to his post dutifully as always.

When he saw her, he quickly asked, "Did he fall asleep?"

Irene nodded, but James also noticed that her lipstick was smudged all over.

He frowned-was she messing around with Isaac?

He quickly reached for the door, but Irene stopped him. "Mr. Jefferson just fell asleep. You shouldn't disturb him."

James blinked. "What did you do to him?"

Irene then remembered that her lipstick must have been smudged, and quickly feigned composure. "I was sweating. I'm going now."

With that, she strode toward the elevator.

The walls inside were reflective enough for her to see her smeared lipstick and she wiped it off while putting on her face mask.

James was left standing outside Isaac's door.

Should he go in to check?

Eventually, he gave up on the idea-if Isaac really was molested, he would have stormed out of his room.

He was an adult who could take care of himself, and James decided that he did not have to worry.
