The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 757

Chapter 757

Irene did not know what to tell Erin, because she had no idea what James thought.

Erin pursed her parched lips then. "I can't bear to face him even if he's willing."

Irene understood how Erin felt and she wrapped her arms around Erin. "It's all my fault..." "No, maybe it's destined and you can't be blamed. Someone up there was upset that I had too much of a good life, and that's why things ended up like this."

She was an orphan, but she was adopted by kind people and led a sheltered life as if she had real parents. How many orphans could say the same?

Maybe her luck was used up by now.

Unable to stop her tears again, she rasped, "Do me a favor!"

Irene felt her body shaking in her arms, and her eyes felt painfully sore too.' Shoot." "I want to leave." "Where to?" Irene asked, flustered. "You shouldn't be alone during times like these-your mind will play tricks on you..."

Anxious, she put an arm around Erin's shoulder. "I'll stay with you."

Her phone started ringing right after she spoke, and she frowned at the bad timing, but she quickly picked it up.

"It's already working hours. Why aren't you here yet?" Finn asked from the other end.

"Just go about your business. I won't be coming in today, not to mention that everyone has their tasks. They could also start trials on everything proposed yesterday." "Okay, but... Are you alright?" Finn asked in concern.

"Yeah. I'm hanging up now." "Okay."

With that, Irene hung up and slipped her phone back in her pocket, when Erin said, "You couldn't go to work because of me..."

Irene shook her head. "It's nothing." "Look, I won't be alone," Erin said. "My father is old, and my mother is gone. He's lonely, so I want to keep him company."

Irene held her gaze. "I can ask James about what he thinks..." "No." Erin refused. "Remember the favor I asked for? I don't want to see him."
