The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 960

Irene jumped in surprise at Erin's sudden arrival.

Still, she soon composed herself and spoke as calmly as possible. "What's wrong?"

Erin glanced between Irene and Isaac before saying awkwardly, "Sorry I didn't knock. Am I disturbing?"

"No," Irene quickly said.

"Oh, okay." Erin smiled. "Anyway, Tommy's tutor is here to give him Franconian lessons at the moment, so I thought I shouldn't impose."

Irene walked up to Erin and turned to glance at Isaac while she thought about what she should say. "Erin, we can't stay here."

"Why?" Erin asked.

"B-Because…"

Irene could not come up with a reason just then.

Surely they could not tell Erin that they just received what they suspected to be James's leg and that it was dangerous here so they had to leave?

"I just reached out to a hospital to treat my eyes. It'd be more convenient over there," Isaac said.

Erin pursed her lips. "But this place is just fine… And the treatment is not permanent, right?"

Maybe they would move back after Isaac's eyes were better?

It was an acceptable excuse, but what about the children? And moving around so much would be taxing, right?

"I wanted to move," Irene said. "I just thought staying closer would make it easier to take care of him."

Erin smiled. "You're too lovey-dovey, honestly. I mean, can't you stand being apart from each other for just a while? Well, it's fine. I guess I can help out."

With that, she closed the door, while Irene gulped.

Although they had managed to come up with an excuse, Irene's heart was still pounding heavily from nervousness!

And this excuse would not work in the long run either.

"Is there still no news?" Irene asked.

Isaac said nothing, but his expression was grave!

He had asked his contacts to search for James, but there was no word yet!

Irene had a hunch that was the case and did not ask any further.

Sheryl did not ask why they were moving again—she had simply been following Irene and Isaac's arrangements for a while now anyway.

She understood that moving house was not decided lightly, and that the reason must be serious.
