The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1044

Zachary's eyes caught the hickey on her neck, and he raised a brow. He understood everything but feigned ignorance. “Then why are you getting so nervous about nothing? You're stammering too, like you were caught in the act for doing something naughty.”

Irene feigned composure and retorted, "What are you talking about?" “You know exactly what I'm talking about,” Zachary replied. "Just look at your face. It's as red as a beet."

"You really have a lot of time on your hands, don't you?" Isaac walked over to them and gave Zachary a stare. "Could you shut it?"

Zachary was speechless for a moment, but he cleared his throat. “I'm just jealous.”

It was first Irene and Isaac, and then James and Erin—everyone got to find their better halves and happy endings.

Only he never got what he wanted...

It was not quite right since he has a daughter now, but it was still a shame that his daughter was motherless.

"Stan's worse off than you are," Isaac suddenly said.

Zachary laughed right then, "True."

Since he had a kid while Stan was still single, childless, and suffering from Isaac's bullying every day—in that respect, Zachary fared well, and Stan was way more tragic!

Irene was left a little puzzled. "What are you on about?"

Zachary instead told her, "You should change into something else.” Irene was speechless—what was wrong with her clothes?

She turned toward Isaac, giving a look to ask as much.

Isaac told her, "It's fine."

They were legitimate spouses, and it made perfect sense to be normal, no?

There was nothing unseemly or that needed to be hidden.

"Get ready. We're leaving this afternoon,” Isaac said then. "Everything's arranged?" Irene asked.

"Yeah."

“I'l go pack up,” Irene replied.

Isaac then called James to tell him that they were leaving, and that he should prepare if he was leaving too.

At the same time, Irene returned to her room to pack their bags when she remembered that Zachary was staring at her neck.

She headed inside the washroom and blushed when she saw the hickeys on her neck.

She was certainly vexed that Isaac never held back. How embarrassing was it that someone saw that?!

It was only then that she realized what Isaac and Zachary were talking about, and she rummaged through her clothes.

There were no turtlenecks, however, so she simply wrapped a scarf around her neck.

They left punctually in the afternoon, and it was quite an entertaining trip back—Tommy was clinging so much to Erin that even James had to keep his distance even though they were newlyweds. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Poking Tommy on the shoulder, he said, "She's my wife, y'know."

“But she's my aunt, y'know?" Tommy retorted, blinking his large eyes at him. "We're closer.”

While James was left speechless, Tommy turned toward Erin and asked confidently, "Aunt Erin, who do you love more—me or him?" James was staring at Erin, but she avoided his gaze and smiled in reply. "Of course it's you, Tommy."

"See?" Tommy grinned smugly at James, while leaning against Erin's shoulder. "You can stay in my room when we get home, Aunt Erin." Erin nodded. "Okay. I'll read you bedtime stories too."

"Hello? Where do you think you're sleeping? You have to follow me home." James could roll his eyes right then—did she really pretend he did not exist?

Tommy held tightly onto Erin's arm in turn. "She's my aunt. Get your own aunt if you want."

Everyone was left silent right then!
