The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 905

Lulu replied, "Yeah, it's serious."

Irene heaved a deep sigh. "How bad is it?"

"He's involved in murder," Lulu said shortly.

Irene's face fell, and she quickly sat down with her baby since her legs suddenly caved.

The baby was not staying put, however, and was flailing around, clapping her cheek one moment and grabbing her hair the next.

"I just want you to be prepared, Irene," Lulu said then. "That's why I'm telling you this. Martin will do his best to help Ricky too."

"I'm counting on both of you," Irene replied. "Try to help him whenever possible. I can't go over there right now, with both my children here and Isaac gone…"

"Don't worry," Lulu assured her. "Martin and I will do our best."

"Yeah," Irene murmured softly. "Thank you."

"It's fine," Lulu told her.

Hanging up, Irene carried her baby back into the mansion, but it seemed that he was reluctant, and he started crying as soon as they stepped inside.

As such, she had to stay outside and keep teaching him how to walk.

That was when a car drove into the compound, and Irene looked up to see James Cross hurrying to her. "What are you doing here?"

James appeared hesitant to speak even as he watched her, so she said, "You can tell me, whatever it is."

Even so, James only seemed to scowl harder, and he stood there appearing flustered.

Whatever it was, it must be very difficult for him to tell her.

Sensing that it was serious, Irene asked, "What is it? Why are you panicking so much?"

James then quietly said, "Mr. Jefferson is in trouble."

Irene wobbled, stumbling a step backward unsteadily.

She felt as if her heart was clenching, while James quickly helped her to the bench nearby and took her baby off her hands.

"Mrs. Jefferson?" he asked tentatively.

However, Irene was still clutching her chest—she just found out that Ricky was in trouble, and now Isaac was too.

She really could not take it, and she certainly could understand why James was hesitant to speak.

The man had always been calm and composed—it had to be something very serious for him to lose composure.
