Chapter 610
When Sheryl arrived to wake Irene up in the morning, she opened the door to find her and Isaac in bed, even holding each other so intimately!
Did he manage to beguile her again?
Did she forget how they were chased out of their own home?!
How could she have forgotten about that already?!
"Irene Spencer!"
They were both jolted from their sleep, and Irene was left at a loss for a while as she rubbed her eyes. "Mom...?"
"How could you be so stupid? Letting him in after he dumped you? What..."
Sheryl was actually left at loss for words by her daughter's naivete.
Irene turned toward Isaac just then, but he did not say a word as he pulled up the blanket to hide his face, leaving her with the mess.
Glaring furiously at Irene, Sheryl snapped, "Get up already!"
Irene knew right then that she must explain the misunderstanding, or Sheryl was not going to let this slide.
Getting off the bed, she put on her slippers and followed Sheryl outside, who quickly snapped again, "He's going to marry another woman, and you're still jumping in bed with-"
Feeling embarrassed, Irene quickly cut her short, "Mom, he never dumped me."
Sheryl glared at her. "His secretary chased us out of our house, and you're still defending him? You've really been bamboozled!"
Irene was actually confused just then, and stared stupidly at her mother." Bamboozled?"
"Look, I know he has the looks, but you shouldn't be fooled," Sheryl said.
Irene scratched her head, finally realizing what she was saying. "I'm not that shallow, mom-Debbie was the one who made Tommy sick because she has the only antidote, and Isaac had to agree to marry her for Tommy's sake-"
"But you and that research team made that antidote!" Sheryl interrupted, looking at her grimly just then. "Are you sure you're not being bamboozled?"
"No, mom. Debbie was threatening him-he was just playing along," Irene explained.
"That's right," Mrs. Watson arrived just then and reasoned, "Mr. Jefferson isn't like that. You've been staying with him for a while, haven't you? You saw for yourself how much he loves Tommy."
Sheryl became quiet just then, and remembered how Isaac patiently and lovingly took care of Tommy back then-he could not have expressed a father's doting better.
