The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 961

Zachary was speechless. He wondered if Stan could stop scaring him—his heart was not strong enough for such a thrill!

Stan was literally killing him here!

"W-Well, whose is it?!" Zachary exclaimed.

"Ian Jefferson's," Stan replied, his voice flat just then.

Zachary almost breathed an expletive right then. "Him?! How?!"

It was absolutely unexpected. He would never have thought it possible!

"I don't know the details either." Stan sighed.

"Oh, never mind. It's fine as long as it's not James. F*ck me, I almost had a heart attack!" Zachary exclaimed cheerfully. "Alright, I'm hanging up now. I have to tell Isaac about this."

"Yeah," Stan replied and hung up.

Zachary then slid his phone into his pocket but jumped in surprise when he turned to find Erin standing behind him!

"W-What are you doing here?!" he exclaimed.

Erin simply stared at him in silence while Zachary felt guilty from the stare. Did she overhear something?

He searched his memory but did not find anything suspicious about what he and Stan spoke of.

With that, he confidently returned Erin's gaze and asked, "What are you staring at me for?"

"Who were you speaking to?" Erin asked with a serious look.

She appeared so stern just then that Zachary avoided her gaze again and slowly answered, "Stan."

"Oh," Erin said, and pressed, "And you were talking to him about James?"

Zachary was speechless. Was he?

Wait, he did do so… but only once.

"And what did you mean, 'it's fine as long as it's not James?'" Erin asked then.

"What? What are you talking about? I have no idea!" Zachary kept trying to play dumb and give her the slip.

However, Erin was much sharper and less naive these days after what happened before.

As such, she did not buy Zachary's excuse at all.

And she was determined! "You know what I'm asking about. You can stop pretending and understand that I won't let you go as long as you don't tell me."

That was when Zachary suddenly looked behind Erin and said, "Irene?"

As Erin turned, he seized the moment to pry his hand off her, and he made a run for it.

He might have to tell the truth if she kept bugging him!

Even so, Erin was relentless and promptly gave chase.

Zachary had no choice but to ask Irene for help!

"Irene, Irene…" He panted.
