The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 925

Irene was still moody on the flight to Cloud City, and it was written all over her face.

"What's wrong?" Brian asked. "You're scowling although the patient was saved."

Irene came to her senses right then, and she sighed even as she glanced at him. "I'm thinking about something else."

"Oh," Brian replied, and he did not bother her again.

Irene then said, "Thank you for your help."

"Oh, it's fine," Brian replied—it was actually not a big deal, and Irene would not have asked him if it was not that important.

Moreover, he owed her—he would never have become director of Hotmesh Research if not for her, since he had always been a loner who did not have influences to call upon.

He was convinced that he would not amount to much in life, and he was surprised to have such an opportunity appear in his life.

"Are things going well at work?" Irene asked—things certainly had been rough for her when she first became director herself.

Brian knew that too. He said, "Well, they're more accepting of me since I'm old and I've been working there for a while. Things were a little different for you, with the rest having trouble accepting you since you're too young and since you were airdropped to the post of director."

Irene thought about it, and she had to agree.

Soon, their flight landed in Cloud City, and Stan was waiting for Irene at the airport while she said goodbye to Brian.

As they got into the car and left, Irene was leaning against the window, her eyelids heavy. "Where are we going now?"

"To a hotel. You need some rest," Stan replied.

Irene looked up at him from the rearview mirror. "James asked you to come with me to Twinrise, didn't he?"

"That can wait. We'll be staying a day anyway, and you need some rest after traveling back and forth—"

"I'm not tired," Irene said. "I can't sleep even when I lie down, so let's not waste our time and get this done, then return to Franconia."

Moreover, there was still no word on Isaac, while her sons were still there—how could she feel at ease?
