Chapter 160

Mrs. Watson then noticed the tiny child in Irene’s arms, and hurried toward her, asking, Where's this baby from?”

Before Irene could answer, she asked, “Is he yours, Ms. Adams?” Lulu glanced at Irene and smiled tenderly. “I wish—I'm not that lucky.” That naturally puzzled Mrs. Watson. “Then, whose is he?"

“Mine,” Irene replied.

Mrs. Watson gaped. “Mrs. Jefferson... W-What did you just say?” Suddenly coming up with an idea, she asked, “Could he be Mr. Jefferson's?”

Irene shook her head. “No.”

"What?!" Mrs. Watson became flustered. “If he isn't... then who's the father? Did you have a child with another man?"

“Yes,” Irene replied, having no intention of denying it.

“Irene.” A deep, slightly angry grow! could be heard behind her just then.

Irene turned to find Henry leaning against his crutch at the doorway. He was glowering, and must have overheard her conversation with Mrs. Watson.

“Come with me,” he growled, and headed to Isaac's study. Moneypenny was with him, and he leveled a cool, accusing look at Irene as well.

After all, Henry had admired Irene in the past, and even held high hopes for her.

To think that she was actually so... unseemly!

Irene passed Tommy to Lulu and quietly said, “Wait in your room.” Lulu nodded and warily brought Tommy to her room.

At the same time, Mrs. Watson was staring worriedly at Irene. “Mrs. Jefferson...”

Even so, Irene had to face this—-Henry would eventually find out anyway. Taking a deep breath, she entered the study, and Moneypenny closed the door behind her.

“Come here,” Henry commanded, and Irene went to stand before the desk.

“So, you really cheated on Isaac?” he asked.

He was already aware of the rumors, but to see it with his own eyes infuriated him further.

After all, he was the one who had arranged for Irene to marry Isaac. But now that things had turned out like this, how could he face his own son or Isaac?!

Irene said nothing.

Bang!

Taking her silence for admission, Henry slammed his palm on the table, startling Irene and

making her flinch!

It was the first time she had seen him being this angry—he had always been kind to her.

Even so, she knew very well that she was the one at fault.

“I'm sorry..."

“Fat load of good that does!” Henry huffed.

Moneypenny patted his back to calm him. “Sir, you knew about this. There's no need to get upset you would only harm your health.” Indeed, Henry was furious when he first found out, but to see Irene holding a living child with. his own eyes...

He had trusted her so much, even footing the bill for her mother’s surgery, only for her to humiliate and betray Isaac!

This was how she repaid his favor!

“You're nothing compared to your grandfather!” Henry bellowed.

In fact, the reason he was still being this polite was because Irene’s grandfather had saved his life!

Eventually calming down, he said, “You don't deserve to stay with Isaac after this.” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Irene agreed, but things were different for them now-they had feelings for each other.

“Henry...”

“Don’t call me that!” Henry snapped, cutting her short. “I was the one who consented to this. marriage from the start, so I shall end it myself now!”
