The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1025

Erin turned toward where Tommy pointed and smiled. "You are your daddy's son. You just might be taller than him."

It was exactly what Tommy hoped for, and he could not help smiling. Erin then went up to James. "You can wait until dinner to chat. They need a break after their long flight.

"Alright then. See you guys later,” she said and clapped Zachary on the shoulder. "Congratulations on getting a daughter.”

"You too," Zachary replied. "On getting hitched and becoming cousins with Isaac.”

James was left speechless, while Isaac shot Zachary a look before turning and heading into the house.

Zachary shrugged. "I'm not wrong."

James snorted. "No, but you're indulging your relationship.”

It was as if Zachary was saying that he was marrying Erin to get connected to Isaac, when their relationship was so pure, and they only cared about how they felt toward each other! Isaac was not even involved.

Zachary certainly was not thinking when he said that, and it was a little inappropriate when he thought of it.

He would not admit it, though.

Jean suddenly woke up and started crying, which gave Zachary an excuse. "My daughter is crying. I'll talk to you later."

With that, he fled.

James would have rolled his eyes at Zachary right then, as Erin held his arm and asked, "Why are you staring at him like that?"

"He's a father now, but he just doesn't look the part."

Erin actually thought that Zachary was passable. "He knows how to care for his baby—that's very good for a man already.”

"You really set your standards too low," James said. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Erin asked cutely then, "But he's like a slave to his baby girl now. Can you do what he did when we have a child?"

“I'll do better when the time comes," James declared assuredly.

“I really should have recorded that." Erin leaned against his arm, but James’ expression changed a little as he remembered her miscarriage. Patting her hand, he said, "Let's have as many children as we can.” "They are expensive and taxing," Erin pointed out.

"We can afford it—I just have to make more money even if it kills me,” James said.

"That won't do. I want you to grow old with me, not kill yourself for money."

With that they returned to their car, having a jovial time.

Once they were home, Mick asked, "Did everyone arrive safely?" "Yeah," Erin replied as she sat on the couch. "They're resting for now." Mick beckoned for a servant to bring in two velvet boxes just then. "Check these out."

"What are they?" Erin asked.

“You'll know when you see them."

Erin opened the boxes in curiosity and found two sets of diamond jewelry, and the craftsmanship was quite dated.

“I've been saving them. They are yours now—you can wear them during your wedding,” Mick said.

Erin's eyes were welling with tears, feeling that she was just so lucky right then.

Giving Mick a hug, she said, "These are too precious. I can't take them...”

“You're my daughter. Who else would I give them too?" Mick chuckled. "Or do I take them with me to my grave?"

Erin cupped her hand over his mouth. "Don't jinx yourself."

James thought that it was very valuable too, and he said, "I will prepare her jewelry myself."

Mick disagreed, feeling that he was being too polite. “It's the same if either of us bought it, and I'm not faulting you either.”
