The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 820

The two men's clothes were disheveled as they lay flat on their blacks.

Isaac was left scowling and speechless.

"Why are they out here?" Irene asked, crouching as she did and frowning when the stench of alcohol hit her in the nose. "Were they drinking?"

"Probably," Isaac said, and he called Eagle along with the chauffeur. "Bring them inside."

Once the chauffeur did so, he drove out with Mrs. Watson for her routine shopping for the children.

Irene told Mrs. Watson, "Get them some pick-me-up too. They drank a lot."

In fact, they were still unconscious.

"Okay," Mrs. Watson replied. "Don't worry—just leave them in the guest rooms, and I'll tend to them."

Irene nodded and told Isaac, "Let's go."

"Yeah."

Isaac drove out of the mansion first, with Eagle following in another car.

Seeing that they were not heading to the hospital, Irene said, "You're going the wrong way. Take a left up ahead."

"You're going to work," Isaac told her.

Irene was speechless. "No, I'm going to—"

"If not the research center, my office it is," Isaac cut her short before she could finish.

Irene was adamant on going to the hospital nonetheless. "Look, I'm worried if I don't visit."

"What good would that do? You won't change a thing," Isaac said, refusing to listen. "What you can do right now is wait. You'd make things worse if Dennis Turner's family were there—they'd just start wrangling you."

In fact, Irene should not show up as long as Dennis had not cleared this dangerous phase.

Soon, Isaac started heading toward his office. "Now is the time for restraint."

Irene shot him a look and snorted coolly. "So you were lying when you said you'd take me to the hospital."

"Would you have gotten in my car if I didn't?" Isaac chuckled smugly. "Be nice and listen for once."

But it was not as if Irene had a say in the matter—Isaac would not take her to the hospital no matter how many times she asked, and it was not as if she could jump out of a running car.

She was at his mercy now, since she had underestimated him.
