Chapter 508
Irene held his gaze just then. "What?"
"This is good. Try it," Isaac said, putting a chunk of meat on her plate.
She cut a slice and put it in her mouth, but it was not until she started chewing when she realized that something was suspicious.
Turning toward Isaac warily, she asked, "Why are you being weird?"
"You're just being paranoid," Isaac told her. "Here. Have some more."
That only aroused Irene's suspicion further. "Really? You're not hiding something from me?"
"What do I have to hide?"
Isaac actually sounded confident, because he had nothing to hide.
However, Ricky spencer had asked to see him before, but he was too busy -now that he thought about it, it might have been because of Lulu.
He was therefore feeling guilty, and worried that Irene would get upset because he did not get involved.
"More," he said, and kept pushing more food to her, until there was a small hill of food on her plate.
Irene was speechless-was she a pig or something?
"I can't finish this," she told him.
"Then leave it," Isaac said, tucking her hair behind her ear.
The nagging feeling of something suspicious hit Irene again, when a thought occurred to her.
Putting down her knife and fork, she leveled him a serious look. "Did you hook up with other women while I was gone?"
"What are you talking about?" Isaac replied with a solemn look. "I'd never touch any other woman."
"Really?" Irene doubted that-he had that dream back at Minerva while she massaged him as 'Jane Tanner’, and even kissed Jane!
If it had not been her, he would have kissed another woman!
"Are you doubting me?" Isaac's expression turned grim.
"I recall you kissing Jane Tanner," Irene told him. "You didn't know it was me at the time."
Isaac blinked, his thick eyelashes fluttering in turn.
Did he?
But he had no recollection of that at all...
"My tastes aren't that poor, Irene Spencer. There was not even a single kissable spot after you put on that disguise. Where should I even kiss you?"
Irene helped his gaze for heartbeats, but decided to let it go since he was dreaming and it was hardly reality.
"Fine. I'll let it go this one time," she said magnanimously.
Isaac was not about to take that, however. "I'd never have kissed 'Jane Tanner'... Unless you're the one who kissed me."
Irene was speechless, and remembered just then that she was the one who kissed him while he was asleep.
Then, perhaps reacting from a dream, he held her in place... In short, she initiated it.
"Oh, I'm full. Let's go." She quickly changed the subject.
Isaac read her mind, but did not expose her, and instead left with her.
After they got into his car, Irene put on her seatbelt while saying, "I need to head to Spencer Mansion."
