Chapter 648
Irene did not even turn around as she arranged the books in the box." Some are important, especially the notes. Those might still be useful for me."
Then, pointing at the stuff she sorted out, she said, "I have to keep these. Can I keep it in your room?"
Isaac watched as Irene put that diary among the stack, whereas Irene did not see the terrible look on his face just then, even as she continued without knowing, 'TH take your silence for a yes-don't worry, though, I won't take up much space. Maybe four tiles, since I'm dumping the rest."
Isaac said nothing and turned to leave.
After Irene sorted the books she wanted, she found some of Sheryl's belongings and took them to her too.
Once they bathed Tommy and changed diapers for the baby, Sheryl reminded her, "It's time you named junior."
"I'll get Isaac to actually think of something. I don't want it to be half-baked like we did with Tommy," Irene said.
"Tommy is a nice name, though?" Sheryl said.
"Yeah." Irene grinned.
After heading upstairs and taking a shower, she slipped underneath the blanket as she told Isaac, "It's time you named your baby."
Isaac did not answer, almost as if he did not hear her.
Even so, Irene knew that he was not asleep-usually, he would be clinging to her like a labrador.
But he was not doing that... In fact, he had his back to her.
This was unprecedented.
Was he... angry?
She snuggled up to him from behind, hugging him and coaxing, "Are you still upset about Erin?"
"I'm sleepy," he growled and pushed her away.
This was the first time he did it, and it left Irene taken aback.
"Are you tired...?" she asked tentatively.
Isaac simply kept his eyes closed to feign sleep.
Irene lay there, her eyes wide open and unable to fall asleep, glancing at the back of his head from time to time.
