The Runaway Groom

Chapter 557

Irene quickly asked, "Who are you?"

The person on the other end was silent for a moment before laughing coolly. "Forgotten all about me already?"

Irene finally placed the voice. "Harvey Gooding?"

She was uncertain, however, because the voice somehow sounded weird.

"Are you sick?" she asked.

"...It's just a minor cold."

"I see. So, you're getting married? I remembered you saying that you didn't have anyone..." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Irene was quite surprised that Harvey would suddenly say that he was getting married. "Anyway, congratulations-don't worry, I'll definitely send you a gift."

“No, you have to attend my wedding.” There was a clear demand in Harvey's voice!

Irene became silent for a moment, but said, "Sorry, but I'm busy."

She turned toward Tommy and patted his little head.

Isaac was not around, and she was still in the middle of her postpartum care and should not leave the house.

Moreover, Harvey was in Sunny City-she might have considered it if he was holding it somewhere closer, but Sunny City was just too far. "We're not even friends, huh?" Harvey was obviously incensed. "Fine, just pretend I never said it, since you think of me as a tool and not a friend.”

Irene frowned, unsure what had got him so upset. "If you're still upset about what happened last time-"

"Save it. Just pretend I never called or invited you. Let's just stay away from each other from now on!"

With that, he hung up, leaving Irene frowning at the beeping.

"What is it?" Sheryl asked.

“Nothing,” Irene replied-she certainly thought nothing of it.

One would always have many encounters in life, but not all are made to last.

Composing herself, she called Ricky, but his phone was turned off.

He was in bad shape the last time she saw him and she wondered what happened to him after.

It was a little worrying.

"Mom, I think I'll check how things are at spencer Mansion-"

“You're supposed to be resting after labor," Sheryl said sternly, not about to let her leave. "You didn't do so the last time, did you? You'll develop an underlying condition if you don't make a proper recovery, and you'll suffer when you're older.”

Before Irene could argue, she sighed. "You just want to check on Ricky, don't you? I'll go over to take a look."

Irene leaned into her arms like a spoiled kid then. "Thanks, Mom." "Oh, you." Sheryl snorted with a “what-am-I-going-to-do-with-you' look. "Oh, right. Did Lulu ever contact you?"

Sheryl's scowled right then. "Why so many questions? It's been less than a day since you came home, so just calm yourself and rest, alright?"

Seeing that Irene was now silent, Sheryl finally got to her feet. "Alright, I'm leaving now."

"Bring him here if you see him," Irene said-she had more questions about Lulu, and Ricky might have found her by now.

"Sure thing," Sheryl said, and was just about to reach the door when Debbie the secretary arrived with a bag, looking like she was going to ring the doorbell.

Seeing that it was Sheryl, Debbie quickly said, "Mr. Jefferson told me to bring these.”

Sheryl smiled. "Come on int"

Debbie entered, and when Irene saw it, her smile from playing with Tommy faded right then

“Are you feeling better?" Debbie asked in concern, but Irene simply stared at her without responding. "Mr. Jefferson had me transfer back since they're understaffed over here,” Debbie explained.

Irene would have belleved her, too-if Isaac had not told her before that James was the one who wansferred Debbie back to Zidonial

f Irene did, she might even have questioned Isaac later on why he would bring Debbie back, and perhaps cause a misunderstanding.

In that sense, Debbie was certainly cunning!
