Chapter 714
The only thing Isaac could come up with was that he had upset Irene.
But when he thought about it, he did not do anything that would make her unhappy, did he?
"Did I upset you?”
Irene had calmed down in turn, and realized that she made a mistake-she should not have taken it out on Isaac.
'I’m sorry,’ she apologized.
’It's alright,' he replied.
Irene was quiet for a moment, before she murmured while her lips quivered, "Shouldn't you be saying that we don't have to apologize to each other?"
Isaac chuckled. "We should always apologize when we're at fault, or we'd start tantrums on a whim."
He actually did not want to be cagey or too polite, because it meant that they were distant-that their feelings for each other were getting bland.
And he did not want that!
Even so, Irene was feeling miserable after what happened, and right now, he should be doing his best to ease her mind.
He was certainly not that magnanimous, but he simply understood that what happened was not her fault, but because Harvey was heinous!
If he wanted things to change back to before with Irene, she needed time, and he had to be stern with her as well.
It was precisely in such a situation that he should not pamper her too much, because it would just remind her of what happened.
Irene clenched her hand just then. "I have a question for you, Isaac, and you must be honest... Were you away from home because you didn't want to see me-’
"What are you talking about?" Isaac cut her short before she could finish, and his tone was serious. "Were you upset over that?"
Irene lowered her eyes in silence-a quiet admission.
