The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 646

Chapter 646

Isaac remained unaffected-even as calm as a pond.

His angular fingers curled up, hooking Irene's hair, and twirled repeatedly. ’ What do you think we should name our youngest?"

Irene turned to look at him, not sure what he was thinking just then and unable to even guess it.

He grinned. "What's that look for? Well, I do look good."

Irene did not continue about Henry just then, since it appeared that Isaac really did not want to talk about him.

Making a straight face, she said, "No, you don't. In fact, you're hideous."

Isaac pulled her into his arms right then, holding her chin in place to make her look at him. "Speak from your conscience."

"I am," Irene replied with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

Isaac leaned closer then. "Fine. Tell me, what makes me ugly?"

She held Isaac's gaze just then, her pupils darting everywhere and glinting luminously.

Everything from his chiseled face, to his dark eyes and sharp nose, all made him attractive.

"Your face, your eyes..." She tried to lie regardless, but even she could not stop herself from laughing out of embarrassment soon enough.

Isaac kept his arms around her. "You don't have to be involved in this one. I'll handle it."

Irene studied him then. "I'm just worried about you-l mean, we're the victims, and we wouldn't have to retaliate if Ian didn't do what he did. Also, you can enforce a press gag, right?"

Isaac, however, appeared nonchalant about that. "They can say anything they like."

Irene straightened herself right then and studied him seriously. "Why would you want to be misunderstood? It's not your fault."

Seeing him being flamed upset her, and she did not want to see that.

Even so, Isaac simply smiled. "What are you getting agitated about?"

"I mean, my heart aches for you-"

Realizing that she was being too direct, she pouted in embarrassment. "If you don't keep things in check, things will escalate until the point of no return. I mean, you're not worried since you're in the right, but words hurt."

Isaac's heart sang and his grin broadened.

He liked her like that.

"I'll have someone see to it," he said dotingly.
