The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 772

Chapter 772

“We have a hit. I’m heading over as we speak.”

James had managed to track down the goons, but they were out of town so he needed to head over to confirm right away.

He was already on his way, but he decided he should give Isaac a head’s up.

“Good,” Isaac replied. “Contact me when you have something.”

“Sure.”

With that, Isaac hung up and turned around, only to see that Irene was gone from their table.

His heart skipped a beat—the unending list of trouble that occurred to her was almost freakish, leading to his mind always jumping to the worst-case scenario.

He looked around frantically, but he eventually found her carrying a paper bag.

He frowned and strode over to her. “Where did you go?”

Irene held up the paper bag to show him. “I bought you donuts. There’s nothing else available this late.”

As Isaac stared at her in silence, Irene presumed that he disliked it too. “Everyone likes snacks, but if you don’t want it, we can just head home and ask Mrs. Watson to cook you something—”

“No,” Isaac said, cutting her short. “You weren’t there when I turned around.”

Irene smiled. “What, can’t live without me for one second?” Isaac put his arms around her, half-joking and half-serious as he growled with unreasonable affection, “Yeah. Don’t you leave my sight for an instant.”

Irene looked up. From her position, it was a direct view of his long neck and that alluring Adam’s apple of his, as well as his masculine hormonal scent.

“You could be my bodyguard and follow me around every day,” she cooed in his arms.

Isaac chuckled. “What, do I get paid?”

“Sure,” Irene replied unapologetically, and put the donuts on the table. “Come here, sit—I know you don’t like the grease on grilled skewers, but bear with it for today. I won’t make you eat at stalls from now on.”

“It’s alright. I can do this on occasion, but not all the time.” Isaac certainly was not accustomed to this, but Irene was considerate of his tastes and bought him donuts, since he did not like the charred taste of grilled food.
