The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 906

James did not dare to look at Irene, let alone answer her.

It was not as if he refused to offer her any comfort.

The truth was that he did not come straight to Irene after he was informed about Isaac's plane crashing, but instead, he sent anyone they had over to the scene immediately.

They in turn confirmed the plane had crashed within Dunesia borders, and just before James arrived at the hilltop mansion, he was further informed that they found the wreckage on Darcy's Peak, the highest peak of the country.

It was common knowledge that while airplanes were the safest way to travel, a crash was always lethal!

That was why he did not dare to give Irene an answer—her disappointment would be worse if he gave her hope!

Fortunately, Irene waved him off feebly. "I get it. Just make the arrangements… Can you get us out before sundown?"

"Yes," James replied.

Irene took her baby back from James just then, but it felt like her chest was hollowed out—as if her heart was taken away.

She tightened her hold on her baby, as if seeking a handle on reality.

The baby started to struggle from the discomfort, but Irene never noticed until he started to cry.

Coming to her senses, she quickly eased her hold around her baby just as Sheryl came out of the mansion.

"What's wrong?" Sheryl asked.

Irene looked at Sheryl blankly and shook her head. "Pack our things, Mom."

"What? Why?" Sheryl asked in surprise.

"We're moving to Franconia," Irene said.

Despite Irene doing her best to pull herself together, Sheryl immediately noticed that something was wrong when she saw the weariness in Irene's expression. "What happened?

Irene did not want to tell the truth, afraid that Sheryl might collapse from the truth.

"Isaac's been wanting to migrate to Franconia, but we stayed because of my work," Irene said instead. "Now that I've resigned, we could go there now—it would be convenient for Isaac too, since the Remy headquarters is there."

Sheryl thought that Irene was making sense, and yet…

"Do we have to leave in such a hurry?" Sheryl asked.

"Yeah." Irene nodded. "We'll be going today."
