The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 940

Thomas became wary immediately. "Really?"

"Yeah," Isaac replied assuredly. "How does it benefit me if I lie to you?"

Isaac could tell that Thomas was scared of those people and that they were no angels.

That was why he warned Thomas, so that Thomas would be more careful.

Moreover, he understood that he would be in worse danger if they were found.

Thomas stayed silent and listened, but he could not hear anything aside from the breeze, the rustling trees, and the occasional bird's cry.

However, it was said that those who could not see would hear better, and Thomas believed Isaac.

"Should we stop?" he suggested, thinking those men would probably drive away soon.

It was why he had picked this moment to leave with Isaac—his employers would not be coming back after they had just left, making right now the safest window of opportunity.

"Sure," Isaac said.

However, there were only tall weeds everywhere, and they did not have a place to sit.

"There's a river up ahead," Thomas said. "We can rest there for a while."

Isaac nodded, and they moved to the river easily.

However, the instant they sat down, two men showed up, and Thomas panicked when he saw them.

"So, you really were hiding someone?" One of the thugs glared savagely at Thomas.

No matter the country, thugs really were ugly—probably a result of their crimes.

They were simply upsetting to look at, and this thug was certainly hideous.

The other thug snorted. "I knew it. There was a reason this showed up at the vineyard!"

He took out a cufflink which Isaac had on his sleeve, but neither Marie nor Thomas noticed that it detached from Isaac's shirt the day they saved him.

But this thug had noticed, and he was pursing his lips in a smug smile.
