Chapter 698
Isaac paused before he got out of the car. "Yeah?"
Irene held his gaze and said, "Let's talk."
Isaac returned to his seat and shut the door.
He was quiet for a while before he finally asked, "What about?"
She nervously clenched her hands and braced herself for a while before finally saying, "I really mind."
It was out of context, but Isaac understood what she meant.
"So?" he said even as his gaze darkened a little, and he finished before Irene could speak. "Don’t think about it. Let's go home-our kids are waiting. IV
The last part was to remind Irene that they already had two children.
Even if something happened, they should face it together instead of deciding to split up so lightly-that would be irresponsible. 1
He then reached for her hand, but she shook him off as if repulsed.
It was on reflex, and she stunned even herself.
However, when she looked up, she found his hand still hovering above, waiting.
"Sorry," she said, lowering her head-she did not mean it, but she had become afraid of physical contact after what happened, 1
Even if it was Isaac.
Isaac slowly closed his palm and lowered his hand, but he said quietly, "It's fine."
He alighted first and walked around the car to open the door for her." Come on."
As Irene looked up, their eyes met.
Unable to hide herself, she felt her own heart aching even as she watched him.
She averted her eyes, evasive as she fled out of the car and ran inside, locking herself in her room.
She might have felt better if Isaac had been cold and accusative, but he was not.
In fact, he was holding back despite what he felt, and his words to her were so tender.
It was tender and considerate of her feelings, with not one syllable too loud.
It only left her feeling as if she were stabbed in the heart.
