The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 816

Lulu told Martin, "You don't have to clean up. I'll get it done when I get home—I don't think men like you are that good with housework."

Martin simply smiled and waved her off. "You underestimate me—I'm perfect with housework, save for cooking. Now go, or you'll be late."

Lulu stared at him then, wanting to speak but unable to do it.

There were three rooms in the house, and she wanted to tell him that he could sleep in another bed instead of leaving.

But how could she tell Martin that? And what would he think of her after that?

She married him, but she could not even play the role of a wife!

Asking her newlywed husband to sleep in another bed was proof of her failure.

Turning away, she strode out and closed the door behind her.

…

Irene fell asleep on the couch with Tommy in her arms.

She was home early, and Isaac thought it weird to see her at this hour.

Lately, she had been coming home later than he did.

As he walked over to her, Irene opened her eyes.

As she was just taking a catnap, she woke from the slightest noise.

Isaac arched his back and took Tommy from her arms. "Sleep in the room if you want. Things get noisy in the living room."

"I'm not sleepy," Irene whispered—she was playing with Tommy for a while until she got drowsy.

She got up and went to get a drink, while Isaac carried Tommy to his room and put him to bed.

When Isaac returned to find Irene spacing out, he approached her and asked, "What's on your mind? Why do you look so out of it?"

Irene came to her senses and put down her glass before turning to look at him. "I… I did something rash today."

Isaac loosened his neck tie and took off his jacket as he sat down on the couch, watching her as he said, "Do tell."
