The Runaway Groom
Chapter 115

Chapter 115

However, Irene did not feel anything toward Harvey's predicament-the man had come up with that plan himself.

He should have been prepared to fight Isaac when he did. He was not, however, and he could only blame his own stupidity for his losses. “That's your darling, right there. Don't you have anything to say?" Isaac asked as he stared at Irene’s face, looking for a reaction-he naturally did not take Harvey's explanation at face value.

Irene was completely nonchalant, and he knew right then that Harvey was mostly telling the truth. After all, if she was really in love, there was no way she would not get worried about Harvey. Her nonchalance just meant that she did not care!

But even if that had been an act, it was reality that she wanted to divorce him!

Was she really that obsessed with leaving him?

“Why are you so insistent on a divorce, Irene Spencer?” he asked directly with a dark look.

Irene rolled her eyes. “You know that I'm with Harvey-"

"He already told me that it's an act.” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Irene was speechless-Harvey was simply unreliable!

Nonetheless, she braced herself and snapped, “It was never my intention to marry you. I don't love you at all, and I certainly don’t want to spend my life with a man I don't love. That's why I want a divorce-it's that simple.”

She had steeled herself to anger Isaac, to make him divorce her! Isaac stayed silent for a long while. “I...”

He wanted to tell Irene that he was the man she was with that night.

At the very least, they shared a bond that way. Maybe she would stop demanding a divorce too?

He decided to test the waters.

“If the man you were with that night was also the one who caused your miscarriage, would you hate him?"

He would tell her if she said no.

However, Irene did not hesitate in her response, and everything from her expression to her tone made her rage apparent.

"Of course I would. I would even wish he was dead!”

Naturally, she did not forget that she had lost a twin because of Isaac and Whitney! “That's why I hate you now. You're the reason I lost my children.”

“So be it,” Isaac quietly said.

Irene actually did a double take. What was that misery in his tone? “What's your deal?” she asked softly.

“It's my fault,” Isaac said and went to stand beside the curtain wall.

He was hurting for the loss of their children too.

Irene somehow felt sympathy and the impulse to give him a hug-he looked so lonely and miserable from behind.

She shook her head. How could she feel that way toward him?!

Even if Isaac was not the mastermind, he definitely played a huge role in the loss of her twin, and that would always keep them apart.

“Mrs. Watson?" she called out then. “Help me upstairs.”

Mrs. Watson arrived, and was just about to do it when Isaac turned around and said, “I'l do it."

Mrs. Watson promptly left, but Irene resisted. “Mrs. Watson can do it.” Isaac said nothing and quietly picked her up, and she bit her lip, her hands dangling aimlessly. “Why are you doing this? You know I hate you.”

Isaac carried her into her bedroom and put her in bed, but never pulled away. Instead, he stayed just inches away from her, his back arched as he looked into her eyes solemnly. " Because I love you.”

Irene’s eyes widened, her pupils dilating.

She had to tug on the sheets and avert her eyes, as if afraid to look him in the eye. “But I don’t.

“I know,” Isaac replied.

Irene was actually so surprised by his reaction that she suddenly looked up, her forehead knocking into his chin because she moved too quickly.

“Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

She reached out to touch his chin, and saw that there was no harm done. "You're fine...”

That was when she found herself looking into his eyes again, and realized at the same time that she was caressing his chin.

Panicking, she tried to pull away, but Isaac caught her wrist!
