Chapter 219

Isaac asked, “Can you do this?"

“Don’t worry I won't cause trouble,” Irene said confidently. “I won't endanger myself even though I want to save Tommy. Moreover, I don't think anyone would notice someone like me.”

She was basically telling Isaac not to worry since she would be fine. Isaac certainly knew that she was smart, but she was still a woman— she would not win in the face of brutes who could not be reasoned with. "Don't be reckless.”

“Yeah,” she replied.

With that, the car turned silent and neither spoke.

Irene wanted to speak, but could not put any words together.

Soon, they were at the community arts center.

“Drive safe,” she said as she alighted.

Isaac watched her for a moment, and said, “Okay”

After Irene entered the building, she was at a loss on where to go. She asked the front desk, and they showed her where she should go to hand over the list.

Luckily for Irene, Robin Lynd was on duty, and sitting in front of a computer.

Knocking the door to draw her attention, Irene explained, “Hello. I'm here to submit a list of entrants for a dance competition?”

“You can give it to me,” Robin replied

She did not have makeup on a far cry from her appearance at the hospital.

As a matter of fact, she had just wrapped up a stage act that day, and did not have time to clean off all the makeup from her face. lan had just found out that she had not been taking her morning after pills, and told her to get checked in case of a pregnancy.

Irene passed her the list, but before she could speak, Robin's phone started to ring.

Robin picked it up and started to head outside. Seeing that Irene was still there, she said, “You may go now—just leave the list with me.”

With that, she headed for the nearest stairs.

Irene pretended to leave, but tiptoed behind Robin toward the stairs as well.

Robin was heading downstairs as she spoke over the phone, and eventually reached the back door, where she found lan waiting by a flower patio.

Irene hid behind the door and watched them—it was her first time seeing lan.

“lan? What brought you here?” She smiled as she walked up to him, clearly happy to see him.

“I'm breaking up with you,” lan said shortly.

Robin was caught off guard right then, and her mind seemed to blank out while her body suddenly turned

cold

“Why? I'm not pregnant! Why are you breaking up with me?” she cried. lan had told her that he did not like children, and Robin was certainly compliant as she did not want children too—she would like to spend a few more years with him before any of that, at least.

However, she did not understand that it was not as if lan hated children- he forbade her from getting pregnant because she was not fit to be his wife!

It was a hassle to explain, so he went with the simple explanation that he hated children.

Robin was just naive enough to believe him. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Nothing much. I'm just sick of you now,” lan said coolly.

Robin was earnestly in love with him, and begged, “Please, lan. I'll do anything you say-"

“I hate clingy women,” lan growled and started toward the car he parked by the road.

Robin quickly ran up, grabbing his arm and sobbing. “Please, lan! Was it something I did? You just have to tell me—please don't do this to me.” lan shook her off impatiently. “I said, I hate clingy women. Don't you understand?”

“lan...”

Robin tried to reach him again, so lan started to be a little more forceful as he shoved her away, knocking her to the ground.

Tears welled in her eyes as she looked up. “Are you really breaking up with me?"

“Yes,” lan said coolly. As he headed for his car, he got a call.

“You found one? Is she reliable? Are you sure she’s delivered a child before?”

The word “child’ naturally caught Irene’s attention!
