Chapter 677
As Irene turned around, she smiled at Isaac. "It's important to you. I understand."
"I'm not hiding it from you,” he explained. "It's just something pointless..."
"Really?" Irene asked pointedly-she remembered his horrific outburst because she touched it.
While she did not care about that before, she would be lying if she said the same still applied now.
"You’ve been young before too, Isaac. Maybe you had a crush before-"
"Enough." He cut her short, frowning slightly just then.
He seemed... angry.
Why? Because she mentioned his unspeakable past? And he still minded it now?
"Do you have another woman in your heart, Isaac Jefferson?" she asked solemnly.
"No,” he said, denying it.
Irene was clearly skeptical, however-why else would he be overreacting?
Who could it be? What could they have given him that he would care so much about that?
"Well, you know the real answer to that. I wish that we are being honest with each other, and have faith in each other-but if the day comes that I doubt you, know that it is definitely your fault."
With that, she turned to leave, whereas Isaac did not move even after she closed the door behind her.
It was not as if he did not understand her, but there were things that could not be given up so easily.
At dinner, Irene kept her head down in silence and headed to their baby's room after, sleeping there without leaving.
Isaac waited a long time for her and pondered just as long.
Irene was going to spend the rest of her life with him.
He should be honest with her instead of hiding secrets from her, which made her uncomfortable and suspicious.
He headed downstairs. The little yellow nightlight in their baby's room was lit. It was not too bright, but he could see from it just fine.
