The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 551

Chapter 551

Irene realized immediately that Debbie must have transferred herself back in the country while she was gone.

However, she was too tired to even stand, and simply nestled against Isaac's neck while pretending to sleep, reluctant to talk to Debbie.

Once outside, Debbie opened the door for Isaac, who carried Irene inside.

They headed straight home, and Stephen returned home as well.

Sheryl Harris had cleaned the house and their rooms when she learned that Irene was returning, while Mrs. Watson cooked up a storm.

Irene felt that she was home for the first time in a while.

"Welcome home.’ Sheryl was beaming, and she had cajoled Tommy to welcome her as well.

Mrs. Watson stood nearby with a cheerful smile as well. "Ma'am.’

Irene crumbled right then, and her tears were already gushing.

Sheryl walked up to her right then and wiped her tears. "No tears, or you're going to cry easily from now on.”

Isaac had called ahead that Irene had delivered their child prematurely, so the child had to be kept in an incubator for now.

Naturally, he just did not want Sheryl to ask about the child when she saw Irene, avoiding the issue for the moment or Irene would start hurting again.

He certainly did not want Sheryl to find out either-there was no way Sheryl could help, and there would be another person stressing themselves out.

Irene's throat felt pouched and her nostrils watery, but could not stop her tears despite trying her best.

'Mom, I've missed you..." she choked through tears.

'You're an adult now," Sheryl's eyes welled with tears as well despite her gentle rebuke, but kept her emotions in check since it was supposed to be a good day. "Mrs. Watson and I went to work as soon as we got Isaac's call, so we cooked a lot of food now. It's been a while since we had dinner together, so go take a bath and we can get started."

Pausing for a moment, she added. "Don't take too long, though."

"Yeah," Irene replied.

That was when Tommy suddenly said, "Mama."

Sheryl had taught him to say it when he saw lrene-he actually felt nothing toward Irene, since she was away from so long he basically forgot about her.

Sheryl naturally knew what mothers wanted.

On the other hand, Irene was working hard to subdue her emotions, but she crumbled again because of Tommy.

"Let me down," she relapsed, and Isaac gently did so.

She watched as Tommy wobbled toward herself and she abruptly dropped to a crouch, gathering his tiny frame in her arms.

Since his grandmother had told him not to push her away, he did not.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

Her blanket sliding off her, Irene was overwhelmed.

Isaac walked over and dropped to one knee beside her, putting the blanket over her so that she would not catch a cold.
