The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1012

The deep voice from the other end spoke. “I miss you."

Irene smiled—that was what she wanted to hear.

She glanced outside the window again, where Lulu and Zachary had just parted ways, and Zachary was carrying Jean back to the hotel. She said into the phone, "I love you, Isaac.”

She did not want to be separated from him. She wanted to be with him forever without missing a second!

The fact that Lulu could not be with Zachary made her cherish her love with Zachary more.

She then asked mischievously, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

“I have nothing to say," Isaac replied.

Irene lowered her gaze, speechless. "I see.”

"Yeah."

Irene wanted to snap at him right then.

'Yeah'?

Forget not saying 'l love you too'—what was that attitude?!

“I'm eating. I'm hanging up now," she said and promptly cut off the call. On the other end, Isaac was left listening to the machine beeping, while smiling faintly.

When it came to love, it would only be more memorable to say it face to face.

Irene was hungry earlier but felt no appetite at all, so she just had a couple bites before going back to her room.

She just lay down in bed when someone knocked on her door.

It was Zachary. "Have you booked our tickets? I can do it if you haven't."

“I have," Irene replied.

Zachary nodded and was about to leave when Irene stopped him. "Lulu came to visit Jean?"

Zachary turned around. "You saw?"

“Yeah, from the restaurant,” Irene said.

Before Zachary could reply, she added, "Even if she carried her for just ten months in her belly, the flesh and blood connection there is stronger than a father's. It's a tragic situation for Lulu."

"That's obvious." Zachary shrugged, looking at Irene in return. "You didn't even know who Tommy's father was but gave birth to him anyway. Moms are as passionate as they are independent.”

Irene was speechless—Zachary's mention of the past actually left her uncomfortable.

She certainly lacked maturity at the time, and her mindset was lacking. Naturally, she was not referring to keeping Tommy but certain other matters...

"Fine, whatever." Irene waved him off. “I'm going to bed."

"Going to bed this early? Didn't sleep well last night?" Zachary asked, studying Irene's face then. "Wait, you don't look too pleased... who upset you?"

"Isaac!" Irene snapped.

Zachary was speechless, but he could not meddle in this one.

Still, he was skeptical. “Would he really dare to upset you? I mean, if you're really upset, you can just go to him and beat him up.”

Irene's frown eased right then.

Zachary's words were certainly helpful.

Go to him, indeed...

Zachary frowned in turn. "That's a quick change in reaction."

Irene simply smiled. "I really should thank you."

"For what?" Zachary asked.

Irene simply kept smiling and closed the door at the next second, leaving him speechless.

He snapped at the door, "You scared my baby girl there!" sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Irene naturally did not hear him.

Laying down in bed, she refunded one of the two plane tickets and booked another to Minerva.

She wanted to ask Isaac if it killed him to say 'l love you too’, or maybe he had an ulcer in his mouth!

She even made sure to book her flight early, leaving before Zachary and without telling Isaac, since she was planning to sneak over.

Soon, she disembarked and booked a hotel to stay in first.

After flying across different continents in a matter of days, she needed to freshen up.

Surely she should not meet her lover in dirty rags.

The next day, she found Isaac's hospital...
