The Runaway Groom
Chapter 714

Chapter 714

The only thing Isaac could come up with was that he had upset Irene. But when he thought about it, he did not do anything that would make her unhappy, did he?

"Did I upset you?"

Irene had calmed down in turn, and realized that she made a mistake- she should not have taken it out on Isaac.

I'm sorry,” she apologized. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

'It's alright,’ he replied.

Irene was quiet for a moment, before she murmured while her lips quivered, "Shouldn't you be saying that we don't have to apologize to each other?"

Isaac chuckled. "We should always apologize when we're at fault, or we'd start tantrums on a whim."

He actually did not want to be cagey or too polite, because it meant that they were distant-that their feelings for each other were getting bland. And he did not want that!

Even so, Irene was feeling miserable after what happened, and right now, he should be doing his best to ease her mind.

He was certainly not that magnanimous, but he simply understood that what happened was not her fault, but because Harvey was heinous!

If he wanted things to change back to before with Irene, she needed time, and he had to be stern with her as well.

It was precisely in such a situation that he should not pamper her too much, because it would just remind her of what happened.

Irene clenched her hand just then. "I have a question for you, Isaac, and you must be honest... Were you away from home because you didn't want to see me-'

"What are you talking about?" Isaac cut her short before she could finish, and his tone was serious. "Were you upset over that?"

Irene lowered her eyes in silence-a quiet admission.

Isaac had to clear her concerns, and was therefore honest. 'l was in Sunny City."

That alone was enough for Irene to understand.

If he was there, it must have something to do with Harvey.

He just did not mention Harvey outright in consideration of her feelings. Irene suddenly felt guilty that she would think harshly of him before. In fact, when he proved that he did not leave because he grew averse to her, it just went to show that she was the petty one!

Isaac's words had always made his stance clear, just as it made clear how he felt about her now.

"Come on. Let's get you checked," Isaac said just then without any sort of coercion in histone.

Now that they cleared the air, Irene knew that she was the unreasonable one if she kept throwing a fit. As such, she alighted on her own, pursing her lips because she was embarrassed by her own behavior.

Isaac was going to help hold her up, but she pulled out her arm. "I'm fine on my own."

Even if they cleared the air, she was unable to get intimate with Isaac like before-she was inwardly averse, even holding disdain toward herself.

If Isaac touched her, she would feel as if she would pass her filth to him.

She hence came clean. "I shouldn't have fought you, and I get it-it is perfectly reasonable even if you didn't go to Sunny City, and needed time away to gather your thoughts.”

She pursed her lips bitterly. "I feel conflicted, and we both need time to get our mind straight about this. But you really didn't need time away from me ... whereas I was upset with you in this little corner of my heart, that you felt disdain for me when I thought you were staying away to gather your thoughts.”

Isaac stopped in his tracks, intent on telling her that he did not feel any disdain.

However, he could not deny that he was traumatized.

Bzzt...

Irene's phone was suddenly vibrating, and she whipped out her phone, her fingers inadvertently brushing her phone screen and answering the call.

It was an unfamiliar voice.
