The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 808

James's frown eased when he saw that it was Erin, and he soon appeared delighted beyond words. "You came? Missed me, didn't you? Can't bear to let my trip be wasted?"

Erin lowered her gaze and immediately saw her bite marks on his hand.

Still, the look of heartache lasted briefly in her eyes before she quickly hid it.

Her fingers gradually clenching on her handbag strap, she tried to make herself sound as calm as possible. "I want to talk."

James stood aside. "Come in first."

She did so, and then noticed the food left untouched on the table.

"You didn't have lunch?"

James smiled. "I'm not hungry. Would you like a drink? I'll get it for you."

Erin sat down. "I'm not thirsty. Just sit—we need to talk."

James was about to reach for a glass but paused.

He took a deep breath, having sensed that Erin was here to break up with him.

Calming down just then, he walked over and sat opposite her.

"I'm not breaking up with you."

Erin could not help frowning, having been stopped before she could say it.

James looked at her and smiled. "I'll give you time."

"Would you wait if I asked for ten years?" Erin deliberately asked for a long time so that he would give up.

James did not flinch, however, and he replied seriously, "I'll wait for the rest of my life."

"You're crazy," she blurted.

"Yeah, I'm crazy about you," he said, relaxed as ever. "You did not cheat on me. I have no reason to separate from you."
