The Runaway Groom -
Chapter 255
Chapter 255
Isaac could never resist Irene when she was being so charming. Smiling begrudgingly, he said, “Fine.”
Irene beamed, and he lifted a brow. He asked, “Are you really that happy about this?”
“I just wanted to see what she’s up to,” Irene said.
Isaac turned to study her—she was as indomitable as she was a risk— taker, but he liked that about her.
He never cared for women who were too soft, something which Irene was not.
She was actually tough and smart, but she wasn't hard as nails—her body was just so soft that he didn’t want to let her go whenever he had her in his arms.
She certainly was the best of both worlds.
They soon arrived at a mall, and Irene got a trolley once they alighted from the car.
Mrs. Watson had always been making Isaac's meals, and all his other needs were seen by other personnel too—he had therefore never been to a mall himself.
Since he wasn't used to it, he stayed quiet as he watched Irene and followed her around, eager to stay close and so he wouldn't be worried about losing her.
Irene took his hand with her free hand, asking quietly, “Never been to malls much?"
Isaac nodded, but was not about to give in. “Rarely.”
Irene laughed. “Just say you've never been. You're a Jefferson, and people see to your needs since you're a child. You don't have to hide the fact that you've never done this.”
Isaac gave her hand a squeeze, asking quietly, “Do you really find that funny?”
“...Alright, it's not funny.” Irene gave in right away.
Isaac gave her a look. She had always been smart with him, teasing him and then giving up soon after—there was no way he could bring himself to punish her.
And he couldn't help loving that about her.
They strolled along and shopped, and it wasn't until an hour later that they left with two bags full of purchases.
In the evening, Irene cooked, while Isaac carried Tommy around after he woke up.
They seemed to be a normal married couple, with the wife cooking and the husband taking care of the child.
Isaac asked, “Has your mother picked a day for our wedding?”
“No,” Irene replied. “She’s going to be busy the next few days.”
Isaac frowned. “Why?”
“She has to take care of Ricky,” Irene gave him a “you—know-why" look. Isaac was speechless.
Was this his fault?
Absolutely not-anyone who hurt his son would pay the price!
The next afternoon, Irene arrived punctually at the sports complex.
Most of the children who took part were girls.
Robin approached her, smiling upon seeing her. “Hey, you're here.” Irene smiled in return. “Thought I should help, so I came anyway.” She pretended to be a little worried, even guilty.
To no surprise, Robin was smiling smugly. Miss Lang told her that Irene couldn't dance, and so Robin said confidently, “See you later.”
“Yeah, see you later.”
Anyone could put up a guise, anyway!
Right after Robin left, Irene put away her smile and scowled.
