The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56

Did it hurt? For Irene, it was only natural that it hurt. However, any physical injury would never compare to the heartache she felt from losing one of her children.

She lowered her eyes and did not respond then.

At the same time, Isaac was grasping her arm to stop her from moving at all… and suddenly leaned in to kiss her lips.

“Umph! Did you lose your mind?!” she snapped.

Isaac simply grinned in return, an evil look showing across his face right then. “You must answer when I ask you a question. That is basic manners, and I would have to instruct you if you don’t know that. Just now was a punishment, and if you insist on being stubborn or using silence as a way of resistance, my punishment will only get worse.”

Pausing for a moment, he then added, “I’m a man of my word.”

On the other hand, Irene was already hurt, and since she also had to protect her child, she did not dare to fight back-even if she felt utter disgust toward Isaac just then, she did not dare to say a word.

One of her twins was gone, and it all started with Whitney performing an amniocentesis after drugging her, laying the groundwork to potential miscarriage. Isaac’s misidentification of the driver who had caused his accident, which led to her being clobbered, simply sealed the deal.

Both of them were now her enemies who had killed her child.

As such, there was no way she would want intimacy with the likes of Isaac-not when her own child was killed just hours ago!

Meanwhile, Isaac was still staring at her as she said, “Isn’t your lover going to visit you after all that’s happened? Why could you possibly see a man who can’t even protect his own lover?”

Irene pursed her pale-white lips. “I love him, and that’s enough for me.” Isaac was left speechless, his desire for her abruptly vaporizing, replaced by white-hot fury.
