The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75

At the same time, Irene turned away from him, keeping her head down even as a certain emotion briefly flashed in her eyes.

She was done cooking half an hour later–simple dishes with nothing elaborate.

When Isaac sat down by the dining table, he realized that there was only one person’s portion, and asked, “Aren’t you eating?”

“I’m not hungry,” Irene replied, and sat down with him, accompanying him although she was not eating.

They were more or less married, were they not? Even though the only evidence for that was their marriage certificate and nothing else.

One way or another, they were getting along unusually well today.

…

They had breakfast together the next morning, and Isaac said, “I can give you a ride to the hospital before going to work.”

Irene had not told him that she would not be working there anymore.

Keeping her head down, she replied, “I won’t be going today.”

Isaac simply presumed that she was still under the weather, and as such did not say anything.

“I can help you get formally appointed as a full–fledged doctor at Central…”

She looked at him then and smiled. “You don’t have to.”

Somehow, she was not used to him being too nice–she would have been in tears with gratitude before.

Now, however, she did not need that job.

Isaac frowned, finding her a little unusual, as the usual routine would be a harsh

retort.

Still, he could not find anything wrong with her after staring at her for heartbeats, and eventually left the table.

Irene continued to take her time with her food, and turned around for a moment when she heard the front door close.

After she finished breakfast, she told Mrs. Watson, “I’ll get the laundry soon.

“Okay,” Mrs. Watson replied without turning toward her, since she was standing

by the sink and busy washing dishes.

After throwing away everything she did not want, Irene left the mansion and had the chauffeur send her to the cleaners. Then, having packed all her clothes, she carried everything to the car and told the chauffeur to drive her to a mall.
