The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1036

James froze when he saw Erin, unable to believe his eyes!

"What..."

Erin held a hand on her own chest. "What's wrong?"

James simply lowered his head and chuckled—he never expected Erin to put so much effort into making herself so alluring for their wedding night, just as he was surprised that she carried such charm.

"No good?" she asked, and peeked at herself in the mirror.

It was actually good, or so she believed.

James quickly shook his head. "No. It's good."

Though bewitching was even more appropriate, panting her with a different shade of charm!

As a man, he would be abnormal if he stayed unmoved!

He scooped her up in his arms, prompting her to yelp in surprise, “Let me down!"

James refused. "You're my bride."

Still, Erin exclaimed, "Your leg isn't better—"

James leaned in to kiss her lips before she could finish, leaving the words stuck in her throat.

And the rest was history!

When it was all over, Erin was resting her head on James's arm and nestled in his chest.

She looked up, her cheeks obviously blushing pink just then. "Do you know who gave me that dress?"

"Who?" James asked, lowering his gaze to meet hers. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Irene."

She was certainly surprised that Irene would give her something like that—even James was raising his brow in surprise too.

“I mean, only best friends give each other stuff like that, so I'm surprised Irene would send one to me," Erin said. "It felt like we're best friends more than in-laws."

"Yeah," James replied—only those who were very close would do something like that.

“I'm very lucky," Erin added then.

She was abandoned as a child, but her adopted parents treated her better than her biological parents could.

Isaac, who had no blood relations to her and whose connection to her was second to implausible, gave her his company's shares, treating her like a real family.

Holding James then, she murmured, "I'll definitely be a good sister and a good aunt.”

James stroked her hair. "You've already done very well."

She was no schemer and was always earnest, and he was sure that was why Isaac acknowledged her, while Irene was also nice to her. After all, character was much more important than roots, and it was how everyone grew to accept her.

James tightened his arms around her then—she really was worth the affection.

"When are we returning to Franconia?" she asked just then.

She had resigned from work to take care of James, and now that their wedding was over, she could head to Franconia with him at any time. “Let's take a few days to rest and get ready," James said.

The wedding was just over, and he was sure that Irene would need a break after traveling so far and with children too.

While adults might still be fine with traveling in quick succession, it might not be the same with kids.

"Okay." Erin nodded, agreeing with James too.

They decided to go out tomorrow—just the two of them, since they were just married.

Neither Tommy nor Baby were willing to stay still in the house, so Isaac went out with them.

Minerva was a country with rich culture, and there were plenty of places to visit—they had the time to bring the children out to take in the culture and sight of the country.

Tommy was a little excited.
