Chapter 677

As Irene turned around, she smiled at Isaac. "It's important to you. I understand.”

“I'm not hiding it from you,” he explained. "It's just something pointless..."

"Really?" Irene asked pointedly-she remembered his horrific outburst because she touched it.

While she did not care about that before, she would be lying if she said the same still applied now.

"You've been young before too, Isaac. Maybe you had a crush before-" "Enough." He cut her short, frowning slightly just then.

He seemed... angry.

Why? Because she mentioned his unspeakable past? And he still minded it now?

"Do you have another woman in your heart, Isaac Jefferson?" she asked solemnly.

“No,” he said, denying it.

Irene was clearly skeptical, however-why else would he be overreacting?

Who could it be? What could they have given him that he would care so much about that?

"Well, you know the real answer to that. I wish that we are being honest with each other, and have faith in each other-but if the day comes that I doubt you, know that it is definitely your fault.”

With that, she turned to leave, whereas Isaac did not move even after she closed the door behind her.

It was not as if he did not understand her, but there were things that could not be given up so easily.

At dinner, Irene kept her head down in silence and headed to their baby's room after, sleeping there without leaving.

Isaac waited a long time for her and pondered just as long.

Irene was going to spend the rest of her life with him.

He should be honest with her instead of hiding secrets from her, which made her uncomfortable and suspicious. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He headed downstairs. The little yellow nightlight in their baby's room was lit. It was not too bright, but he could see from it just fine.

He tiptoed inside toward Irene and saw that she had her eyes closed. In reality, she was not asleep, but she closed her eyes when she noticed the door opening-probably to avoid him.

Isaac pulled down her blanket, scooping her up in his arms.

Irene pretended to wake up from the movement. "Urgh... W-When did you get in here?"

“Let's go upstairs,” Isaac said softly.

“I want to be with our baby..."

Isaac exposed her right then. "You're just giving me the cold treatment. We're getting married soon and you're still being childish?"

How unreasonable could he be?! He was the one who was refusing to be honest!

“I know you have someone else in your heart, Isaac Jefferson. I just don't want you to regret this."

Isaac frowned. How did she jump to that conclusion?

His voice turned quieter just then. "You're getting paranoid.”

“I am, and that's because you can't give me your heart. Maybe you do love me, but there's someone else in a corner there, or am I wrong?" Irene could actually understand and accept that, but she also hoped that Isaac could come clean like she did with Seth.

But Isaac had to hide it!

Still, as Isaac carried her to the study. She struggled, saying, "Let me go."

"Don’t move!" he growled with an edge in his voice, and Irene turned away, pouting!

Putting her on his desk, he opened his safe and brought her that chest. "Look."

"Nope." Irene refused.

Isaac pulled out a chair to sit opposite her, while she stayed on the table.

After a moment of silence, he said, "I was young before, but I had restraint, not that I have time for flings anyway... But there's this memory etched clearly in my memory. See, I was pushed into a pool during my parents funeral-1 can't swim, and I almost died right then." "However, someone saved me, and that person dropped this. That's why I'll always cherish it-not over some past fling."
