The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 699

Chapter 699

Isaac arched his back but refrained from touching Irene-he simply picked up her blanket and adjusted it for her.

Then, he stayed there for a moment and said ever so softly, "I don't mind.’

Those words left tears welling up in Irene's eyes.

She kept her eyes tightly shut, and firmly bit her lip, holding it in so that she would not make a sound.

Even so, her tears trickled out along the corner of her eyes, flowing over her nose and disappearing into her hair.

As her body started to shudder, Isaac wanted to comfort her, but his hands hovered in the air for a moment before lowering.

She needed time, and him being close would only add to her pressure.

He breathed a deep sigh and returned to their bed, but lay on his side, watching her on the couch.

They were going to have trouble sleeping tonight!

The night certainly seemed to stretch on, and both of them pretended to have slept and just woke up in the morning despite the dark circles under their eyes.

Still, they both acted as if nothing happened, and behaved like they always did around Sheryl and their children.

Irene was going to ask the chauffeur to take her to Hotmesh Research, but Isaac told her, "I'm taking the same route anyway.”

However, that was hardly the case-Hotmesh Research was actually north of the city, while Issac's office was in the commercial district.

Irene did not expose him, however, and quietly got into his car.

Neither spoke a word throughout the journey, and Irene alighted when they arrived at Hotmesh. "Drive safe.’

"Yeah," he replied.

They both seemed to share tacit understanding to keep up appearances and pretend nothing ever happened.

Irene watched as Isaac drove away, before turning around to see Seth Hedge waiting at the front door.

Her expressions turned as cool as ice right then.

"I wanted to ask what happened yesterday. What got you so upset? Was Harvey out of line-"

’Enough!"

Irene's hands were clenching at her sides and her voice had a chilling edge. ’Come with me.’

Seth thought that she would tell him, and so, he followed her, but once they entered one of the labs, she whipped out a scalpel from an antiseptic box, wheeled on Seth, and pressed it against Seth's neck.
