The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1030

Irene's baby was being difficult. He was refusing to be carried, but he was also so small that anyone not noticing would knock into him if he walked. That was why someone must always be on hand to watch him. Tommy was older and would stay put and stick with Irene when told so. “It's such a grand wedding," Mrs. Watson exclaimed in awe, impressed by the wedding hall when they arrived.

The place was as grand as it was dreamlike—Mick certainly was not going to be stingy since Erin was his only child, and he had many friends in Minerva.

James had also been making a fortune over the years he worked for Isaac and could naturally afford such a wedding too. However, Mick was the one who actually paid, saying that it was his duty as a father. Mrs. Watson leaned in to whisper into Irene’s ear, "I think Mr. Jefferson should do one for you too."

Irene smiled. "Now? Both our children are walking already..."

"Exactly. This is a once in a lifetime occasion for women," Mrs. Watson said.

Irene saw Isaac coming just then and stopped Mrs. Watson while smiling. "Have you finished greeting your friends?"

Isaac had basically been mobbed ever since he entered, and it took him a while to free himself.

Holding Tommy's hand, he said, "Yeah. Let's head downstairs together later.”

He certainly did not want to socialize, but it was necessary when he met acquaintances.

However, there were too many, so they headed to the lounge upstairs where they would wait for the wedding to start before coming downstairs.

Zachary had been with James, clicking his tongue as he looked at James and commenting, "Tut, tut! What a show-off!"

James could kick him right then.

He was just suited up appropriately for the occasion! How was he being a show off?!

"Why don't you take a look at your own face?" he told Zachary.

“I look good," Zachary said, looking himself in the mirror just then.

He saw the sly smile on James's face before he could finish and came to a realization, bellowing at the other man, "You're the one whose face is twisted from jealousy!"

James simply clapped him on the shoulder. “I have to socialize with my guests. Keep being alone forever!"

Zachary was speechless—could he stop plunging the dagger further into his heart?!

He had been immature and made mistakes, which led to losing the love of his life. But did he really have to be reminded of that constantly?! He quickly caught up with James since James's leg has not fully recovered, and he said, "Does it please you that I'm hurting?"

James shot him a look. "Why are you hurting? You have a daughter. I don't."

Zachary became smug at the mention of his daughter. "Right... I do have a daughter, while neither you nor Isaac do!"

James was left speechless—the man really needed a slap in the face! “I wonder what Mr. Jefferson would do if he heard you," James growled.

"I said it to his face," Zachary said.

James flashed a thumbs up at Zachary. "Impressive. Also, stop rambling around me. I still have guests to receive.”

“You go do that." Zachary realized that he had been talking too much too, before adding, "I'll come along."

He could help James with the guests since James had not fully recovered.

James was certainly grateful for his goodwill. "Thank you."

"Why so formal? We're brothers, aren't we?" Zachary said, putting an arm over his shoulder. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
