The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 477

Chapter 477

Irene froze.

Isaac had a towel around his waist, but his entire body was still wet, and... there was a scarlet rash over every inch of his skin.

Surprised, she asked, "What happened?'

"That's my question. What did you put in my bath?" Isaac was frowning- the rash itched so badly!

Irene quickly spoke into her phone. "Something just came up. I'll talk to you later."

With that, she hung up and hurried into the bathroom and checked the bath, and somehow fished out a substance that could cause oversensitive skin.

But she never put it in... How did it get in there?

"Don't scratch," Irene told Isaac when she stepped out. "Just wait here. I'll get you an ointment-"

However, Isaac grabbed her by the neck before she could leave, a menacing air spilling out of him as he growled, "You did this, didn't you?"

Irene was suffocating and instinctively shielded her belly. "I have no reason to hurt you, Mr. Jefferson," she gasped. "It does me no good-there's a misunderstanding here, believe me."

Isaac, however, was unmoved, and his fingers continued to clench over her neck.

Even as her cheeks flushed a crimson, she gasped, "Please... give me a chance to prove it..."

Knock, knock-

Someone was suddenly knocking on Isaac's door.

He released her then, while the menacing air around him faded. "You'd better not have messed with me, or I'll destroy you!"

Irene was wheezing, but she calmly answered, "If I meant to harm you, you'd be dead instead of getting just a rash."

There was such confidence in her voice that Isaac narrowed his eyes.

Knock, knock-

Whoever was outside knocked on the door again, more urgently this time. Isaac walked over to get the door, and opened it to see that it was Harvey. He had heard Isaac's voice over the phone, and knew right then that they were together.

That was why he knocked on Isaac's door, and the instant it was opened, he looked inside to find Irene standing in the living room.

"You really are on a self-destruction spiral, huh? Getting it on with someone as ugly as her?"

Bang!

The door was shut in his face so violently that it kicked up a storm, while the door itself almost hit Harvey squarely in the face, missing it by bare inches.
