The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 502

Chapter 502

Seemingly worried that Isaac would harass Irene, Hannah told her, i'll come downstairs with you."

She linked an arm around Irene's, locking the door behind her. It was as if she was worried Isaac would storm inside and abduct Stephen again.

Irene saw the scowl on Isaac's face right then-given his terrible temper, it would not do if he harassed Hannah too.

Irene smiled. "I'm fine on my own. You should stay and take care of Dr. Carr -he's sick and shouldn't be left alone."

That was certainly true, but Hannah was still hesitant. "What about you?"

’I'll call the cops if I'm in danger," Irene told her, sliding a peek at Isaac as she spoke pointedly.

'As long as you understand," Hannah told her.

Irene smiled in return. "I know. You should go inside."

Hannah was smiling ear-to-ear with Irene, but her expression cooled immediately when she glanced at Isaac, as if he were some criminal.

As she returned inside, she reminded Irene before she shut the door," Watch out. Remember, call the cops right away if you're in danger."

lerne smiled and nodded, "I will."

With that, Hannah warily shut the door, and locked it from behind audibly while Irene was still outside.

Both Irene and Isaac were speechless.

That was when Isaac said, "I'd happily do it again."

Isaac was convinced that he had done nothing wrong-Stephen was the one who made Irene the scapegoat for Yvaine Lynd's death, and he even helped her run away from Isaac.

He should at least do something, right?!

Inside the house, Hannah was grumbling as she headed into the bedroom.

Seeing that her husband was sitting while leaning on the headboard, she said, "Honestly, Irene might be in danger."

"Why?" Stephen asked. "And what danger? She’s perfectly fine."

'But that man is with her," Hannah pointed out.

Stephen gave her an enfeebled look. "That's her husband-no matter how terrible he is, he's not going to lay a hand on his own heavily pregnant wife, is he?

Hannah was left speechless for a moment, before her eyes widened in shock. "What?! I thought Isaac Jefferson wasn't married! When did he get a wife?"

'Beats me," Stephen replied, but he was under the impression that it was a hidden marriage-lsaac never publicly announced it, nor was there a wedding.

'I should have known!" Hannah exclaimed as she smacked her own lap just then. "They showed up together and he was willing to wait outside for her. They clearly are a couple, but I stupidly warned Irene that he's a terrible man..."

How awkward that was!

She hit Stephen just then. "Why didn't you warn me?"

"How was I supposed to do that? She was standing right there," Stephen pointed out.

Hannah thought about it, and had to agree. "But Irene looks like a good girl. Why would she marry such a man? I wonder if domestic violence was involved..."

Stephen told her feebly, "Oh, just quit meddling with others' business. I need fresh clothes to go out right now.'

'Where are you going? You're still sick," Hannah certainly did not agree to it. "You should be resting-don't you know what your condition is like right
