The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 743

Chapter 743

Zachary managed to jam his foot on the brake pedal in time and his car barely missed the person in front of the car.

As he frowned, Ember called out to him from the front of the car.

"Zachary."

She was not throwing a fit or being hysterical-she merely watched him calmly.

Even so, Zachary did not want anything to do with her.

"Move, or I'll call security."

Ember held his gaze for a while from across the windshield, but she said, "Call them if you want, and if you don't mind me coming again. Because I'll do it if you refuse to talk to me."

Zachary narrowed his eyes. "Are you threatening me?"

"No, I just want to talk to you," Ember replied.

"Do you think that you're in a position to discuss terms?" he asked icily.

"I'm not discussing terms. Can't I just talk to you?"

"No." Zachary refused determinedly. "I don't want to see you, and I don't want to know a thing about you."

"You're really being merciless even though we were once married," Ember murmured. "I've never hated you for destroying my family, y'know."

She certainly understood many things after going through so much, and most of all was that what goes around comes around.

"If anything, you should have taken it out on me, but my parents should have been spared. It's all because I fell for you and married you, or I'd still be an heiress. How could I be so stupid and so obsessed with you back then? You're just human, albeit a little better-looking than most, but that should never have counted. If I could start over, I'd rather be with someone who loves me even if his looks are average. Shame that I won't even have that chance-my life has become a tragedy since I fell for you."

"It's a tragedy because you were possessive," Zachary replied.

"Probably." Ember simply smiled. "You heard about me, haven't you?"

Zachary did not answer, though his silence was almost affirmative.

Ember laughed bitterly. "I'm pathetic, aren't I? After you destroyed my family, my mother became sick and I was penniless. How else could I save my mother?"
