Chapter 713
Isaac did not answer right away, and instead asked, "Are you sick?"
Irene took her hand off her stomach and denied it. "No... it's just my hip. It's sore from standing all day."
Aside from the first glance, she had not been looking at Isaac since, and said even as she kept her gaze lowered, ‘It's late. We should go home."
She started to leave, and tried to keep herself standing straight as much as possible, reluctant to let Isaac see that she was ill.
Isaac remained where he was.
Suddenly, he asked, "How long do you need?”
Irene's back stiffened for a moment, and she began to stride off.
She did not want to talk about it, and with him at that.
Isaac quickly caught up, and took her hand despite his reluctance.
She struggled a little, but she allowed herself to be pulled along since she could not free herself.
He had parked his car outside, and the lights flickered as he whipped out his key and pressed a button.
While he opened the door, Irene held the car door in place.
"Isaac," she said, looking up at him then. "I'm tired. I don't want to talk about it today."
Isaac pursed his lips, but he quietly muttered, "Yeah."
She shook her wrist then. "Now let me go."
Isaac did not, and instead leveled her a pensive look.
Uncomfortable from being stared at, let alone meeting his gaze, she quickly entered the car, saying, "Let's go home!"
While Isaac entered the car from the other end and turned on the ignition, Irene closed her eyes and leaned into her seat, since doing that felt comfortable with her aching belly.
Still, the car was quiet since neither of them spoke, and there were not many cars on the road that late in the night.
Irene opened her eyes when she felt the car stopping, only to find that they were not outside a hospital-not the hilltop mansion.
