The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 760

Chapter 760

Sheryl said, "Look, Isaac is not your average business owner. He needs a wife at home to keep an eye on things while he works. I know that he wants the best for the family, even suggesting that we go to Franconia with Tommy, since he already had a house and arranged for servants there. We'd be able to settle down quickly while his work would become more convenient... he never mentioned that again because of you, you know."

Irene had never heard Isaac mention that before.

She only found out he wanted to move to Franconia today-when they were arguing.

Lowering her eyes, she murmured, "So that’s why..." 'But the richer and more powerful he is, the less reason you have to deny your own self," Sheryl told her.

She still supported Irene's work, and she would take care of Irene's children.

As Irene looked up at her, Sheryl continued. "He may love you and care for you now, but you already had two children with him. There's all the pretty young women one would need out there, so I don't want you to have nothing to fall back on like me. Get it?"

Sheryl was being earnestly considerate for her daughter after her husband betrayed her—it was better to be safe than sorry.

Patting Irene on the shoulder, Sheryl said, 'Til talk to him for you." "What about?" Irene became nervous right then-she did not want Sheryl to meddle in her argument with Isaac, which would complicate things.

"Don't worry. I know what to say," Sheryl replied. "Now, eat. If you're sick, you'd have to stay home for real."

Irene pursed her lips. "Thanks, Mom." "Don't thank me-l'm your mom. I'm always on your side whenever, wherever," Sheryl said, breathing a long sigh. "I won't go that far if it were an average Joe you married, but that's not who your husband is. That's why we have to be careful, and of course I hope you'll always be happy, and not suffer like I did." "Mom..." Irene did not want her to mention the past.

Sheryl simply smiled. "I stick by what I said."

Overwhelmed, Irene decided to send her off. "You should go home, Mom." "Of course. Now eat, there's soup underneath too," Sheryl said.

"I will," Irene replied.

"And do come home earlier." "Okay."

Sheryl was worried that Mrs. Watson alone would not be able to care for both children.
