The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 890

As their eyes met, Irene pretended to be pensive. "Well, yeah. I'm too beautiful I bewitched you, making me fall so deeply in love with me…"

Isaac was speechless—when did she become so thick-skinned?

Irene sighed then and cupped his face with her hands. "I'm now the subject of gossip no thanks to you."

Isaac smiled and put a hand on the back of her head, before leaning in to give her a light kiss. "Being gossiped about means you have their attention."

Irene pouted. "I don't want that. Who knows what they are saying behind my back even though they keep smiling in front of me."

Isaac rose to his feet, making an angry look. "I'll go warn them right now."

"Stop," Irene exclaimed as she caught his wrist. "They'd say that I bewitched you if you really did."

"Right," Isaac said, giving her a meaningful look. "You only warm my bed, after all."

Irene was speechless for a moment and gave him a shove. "You're despicable."

Isaac chuckled and caught her hand. "Get over here."

Irene walked around his desk, and followed his pull to naturally fall in his lap.

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she leaned her head over her shoulder and purred playfully, "From now on, don't you take notice or get upset if you hear gossip about me."

"Yeah," Isaac replied lovingly.

Bzzt…

Irene's phone was vibrating, and she took it out to answer.

It was Finn, telling her that Dennis's funeral was arranged for the day after tomorrow, and that everyone from Hotmesh Research would attend.

Irene was being informed since she was being invited too.

"Okay," she said, hung up, and pocketed her phone.

Turning to Isaac, she said, "They are probably done investigating Dennis's death. They are arranging for the funeral already."

They would not have proceeded so quickly if there was still an issue.

Looking deep into Isaac's eyes just then, she said, "Thank you."

Dennis's case would not have been resolved so easily if not for Isaac, and she leaned on Isaac, brushing her cheeks against his chest before rearing her head to kiss him. "You're so good to me."
