The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 598

Chapter 598

Looking into Irene's eyes that were as bright as the stars above, Issac leaned in, slowly putting his lips against hers.

As their skin touched, their warmth flowed into one another's.

Irene closed her eyes in turn, and reared her chin so that the kiss was firmer.

It was less a gesture of intimacy than a gentle touch to offer each other assurances.

They pulled away after a long while and Issac raised his hand to brush a finger over her lips, wiping the wetness over it.

"Let's get you home," he said softly.

Irene shook her head. "I need to go back to the lab. Stephen Carr tested the drug on himself-l need to check on him."

Isaac held her gaze for several heartbeats and finally nodded as he turned on the ignition.

Zachary Slate was sitting behind his desk, reading the official announcement of the day.

Peter Lindt's case was closed-the police had determined that he was culpable for fielding substandard equipment while taking no steps for fire safety.

It only made his case worse that he had bribed his way out unapologetically.

With all the concrete evidence against him, as well as pressure from Zachary and Tim Goldman, he was sentenced to jail for 28 years.

Peter was 51 this year, and would almost be 80 upon his release-if he ever got out, that is.

Shirley Lindt fainted at court the instant the verdict was handed down.

Peter tried to talk to her and his daughter, but he was escorted away before he had the chance.

Ember Lindt had to hold her mother steady even as she watched him being taken away.

She finally understood that she had nothing to depend on.
