The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1041

Isaac frowned slightly as he replied, "We're outside.”

"Where?" James pressed—there was no helping it, since Erin was complaining about being bored when they were supposed to spend the day together.

She then suggested visiting Irene and taking Tommy outside to play, only to arrive at their lodgings to find it empty.

Isaac asked in return, "You have a lot of free time today, huh?"

James was a little speechless—he should indeed be spending time together with his new bride.

He could not help sighed feebly as he glanced at Erin as she drove beside him, since she really preferred it lively.

"Pretty much," he chuckled.

Isaac gave him the address. "Come over. I happen to have something to tell you." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Okay," James replied cheerfully.

As soon as he lowered his phone, Erin asked impatiently, “Where did they go? They should stay at home..."

James turned toward her. "What, are they supposed to wait there for you?"

Erin smiled—it was just bad phrasing.

Still, James told her where they went, after which she frowned and grumbled "What are they doing there out in the wild? I mean, I've been there myself, but there's just a lake and nothing else. And they even brought the kids there..."

While she was left perplexed, James told her, "Don't get distracted. Eyes on the road.”

Erin pouted. "I'm riding shotgun once you're better."

"Fine," James chuckled.

With that, they drove steadily on and alighted as they arrived, when they smelled the scent of food even before they saw anyone.

"Why is there a smoky smell?" Erin asked, a little confused, though James had a hunch.

That was when Erin saw people behind the words and started to hurry when she remembered that James could not walk that well yet.

She stopped and turned to wrap a hand around his arm, and he patted it. “I'm fine. You don't have to hold me up like this—if anyone did not know better, they would think that I'm too old to move."

“You're not old. I'm just worried you'd aggravate your leg and cause a permanent disability," Erin said.

"Are you going to leave me if that happens?" James asked.

"Maybe," Erin joked.

James pretended to be disappointed. "Well, I guess women are all pragmatic.”

Erin smacked his wounded leg in turn. "You'd better recover soon, so that I won't have to dump you."

And with that, she let him go and strode off.

She was beside herself with joy when she saw the grill set and the food, complaining, "Tommy, how could you not invite me when you came?"

Tommy liked her too and promptly handed her a huge skewer of freshly grilled meat. "Here, Aunt Erin."

Erin quickly took it, just as Irene and the others returned and handed her some of the freshly plucked raspberries. “Try some."

Erin did not hold back at all, picking up a raspberry and stuffing it in her mouth before she finished her meat.

It was hardly an orthodox way to eat it, but it simply tasted different like that.

She smiled. "The raspberries are quite good."

Irene pretended to make a face and asked, "Can you actually taste it?" Erin simply smiled. "Why didn't you call me when you're all enjoying yourselves here?"

Irene glanced at James nearby. "You have a lot of free time today, huh?"

That was exactly what Isaac said.

"The more the merrier," Erin replied, picking up Tommy and squeezing her way to the grill. "I'll do it myself."

It was more fun that way.
