Chapter 732
Isaac replied, "Okay.
Mustering her courage then, Irene asked, "Did you watch the whole video?"
She never dared to ask that question all this while.
"...Yes."
"Was I, really...?"
"No," Isaac told her assuredly. "He just wanted to upset me. He didn't really do anything to you."
In reality, the video was incomplete and he had no idea how far Harvey went, but he told her with such assurance anyway just to get her to let it go.
"Really?" Irene asked expectantly.
"Yes," Isaac replied with assurance.
She lowered her then, her shoulders shaking-she did not want to cry, but her nose was getting runny anyway.
Ever since what happened, she felt inferior to Isaac from the depths of her heart, as if she was filthy.
Naturally, she felt much better after she received such assurance from him, and was smiling despite her tears.
"Thank you."
Even if he said it just to comfort her, she felt confident again.
She sniffled. "Sorry. I'm pathetic."
Isaac ran his fingers through her hair. "Just cry if you want to. There's no need for disguises with me."
Nonetheless, Irene wiped her face and raised her chin. "I'm not going to cry.
She was strong, proud, courageous, and invincible.
However, that left Isaac with a dark look in his eyes.
Was she refusing to let herself be vulnerable around him, even for just a moment?
Still, he wrapped his arms around her. "Let's go home."
"Okay," she replied, and they left with his hand around her shoulder.
