The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 861

Irene's voice was hoarse as she began, "Hold me, Isaac."

Isaac did so, leaning in and wrapping his arms around her through the blanket, asking her softly, "Do your hips hurt?"

As Irene stayed silent, Isaac chuckled. "What's gotten into you? Hmm? Tommy's eyes were red and puffy, just like yours. Are you going to cry too?"

Irene sniffled. "Tommy was crying?"

"Oh, he's enjoying himself out in the courtyard now," Isaac said, his expression turning serious. "What about you?"

Irene returned her hug, burying her face over his chest. "I just miss you."

"Me too." Isaac chuckled.

"I love you, Isaac."

That was the only way she could tell him that she cared about him—because she could not tell him about her biochemical pregnancy.

When Isaac lowered his gaze at her, she quickly averted her eyes.

Even as tears trickled off the corner of her eye, she played it down and said, "Don't look at me. I'll get embarrassed."

Isaac pulled the blanket up over her shoulders as he replied, "Yes, ma'am."

She then pulled it over her head. "I'm drowsy. I want to sleep."

Isaac's gaze darkened even as he watched her, but he whispered softly. "Yeah. Sweet dreams."

He soon left, gently closing the door behind him, and headed downstairs.

Heading outside, he called out, "Eagle."

As Eagle made his way toward him, Isaac asked, "Did something happen today?"

"No, sir," Eagle replied after thinking about it.

"Are you sure?"

Isaac's sharp gaze seemed to pierce right inside a soul, and someone as stalwart as Eagle had to keep his head down to avoid his gaze. "Yes… I'm sure."

He thought about it again, but there was nothing weird about today—save from taking Irene to the hospital.

Moreover, she had told Eagle not to tell anyone, so he was not about to make the decision on his own.

Though he was left in a dilemma for a while, he eventually decided to hold his tongue, and instead mentioned Neil. "Actually, sir… Dennis Turner's boy ambushed her at the entrance of Hotmesh Research."
