The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 974

Zachary recognized the man—he was one of the protective details Stan had arranged for them whom Zachary stationed outside.

He frowned. "Why are you panicking?"

The man shook his head—he was not panicking, but it was urgent.

"There is someone asking for you outside," the man reported.

"Who?" Zachary asked.

"No idea."

Why did he bother asking?

Zachary started to head outside, with the man in tow. "Let's go take a look."

At the gates, Zachary saw that the person looking for him was actually a boy. Standing at a modest five foot four, he looked scrawny and his cheeks were dirty as if he had not bathed for a long time, and he had tied up his long hair.

Zachary felt suspicious since the filth hid the boy's face, but asked, "You were looking for me?"

The boy nodded.

"Who sent you?" Zachary asked.

"A Zidonian named James Cross," the boy said, still staring at him. "He told me about this place."

Zachary turned serious since James did know about the place.

However, he did not believe the boy immediately, since they had been getting into endless and complicated problems.

"Really?"

"Yes." The boy held out his palm to show the number written on it, which was Zachary's too. "He said to call you if I can't find you here."

Zachary believed the boy already but did not lead him into the house.

He told the man beside him quietly in his ear, "Tell the others I'm leaving for the night."

Irene and her children were staying here, and he should not recklessly bring the boy, Barzel, inside without knowing who he was.

Taking Barzel to a hotel, he said, "Get yourself cleaned up. I'll get you some clothes."
