The Runaway Groom
Chapter 746

Chapter 746

Irene was puzzled to see Erin Gooding in the children's boutique, holding a pink baby jumper and finding it pretty.

She admired it for a while, and was surprised to see Irene standing at the doorway when she put it down.

"Hey, sis! What are you doing here? Getting some clothes for the children?"

Irene entered. "I was just passing by, so I came in.’

Erin actually thought that she came expressly. '1 see..." "I'll buy some if I find something that suits them, though,” Irene added.

Erin started to help eagerly right then, picking several that fit Irene's second son. "I think these look good.”

Irene liked them too-Erin certainly had good taste.

Hesitating for a moment, Irene then asked, "Are you here alone?"

Erin lowered her head and murmured softly, "Yeah." “Are you pregnant?” Irene asked tentatively.

"...Yeah."

Irene smiled. "Congratulations."

Still, Erin appeared unhappy. "I want to marry, but James says that he's busy and we can only get registered. I want a wedding and get registered in Minerva, since my father is still there. I'd rather James and I walk down the aisle since I don't want to disappoint my father.”

Irene agreed with Erin's idea.

'Can I help?” Irene asked.

Erin pursed her lips. "I don't want to trouble you. James did not want me to come to you either." "Why?" Irene asked.

"He's busy and refuses to apply for leave.”

Irene became quiet for a while. "Why don't you hold off for a moment? I'll see what I can do for you."

She had to ask Isaac first, since she should not decide on anything on her own.

Naturally, Erin was left in a dilemma since she was worried James would blame her.

Irene said, "How about this? I'll let you know if I manage to get something, and then you can talk to James about it." "That's good." Erin beamed.

Soon, they left the children’s boutique and headed to the grocery department for fruits, with Irene picking Tommy's favorites.

When they were done, Irene asked, "How did you get here?" "By taxi. I wanted to come out for a stroll since being home alone is boring." After getting into the car, Irene had the chauffeur drive Erin home first. They soon arrived, and Erin alighted. "Thanks for the ride." “I'm your sis, right?" Irene grinned.

Sheryl was surprised to see the things Irene had the chauffeur carry inside when she reached home.

"You went shopping?’ “I left work early, so I went to the mall,” she replied. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Sheryl saw the baby clothes and teased, "You finally remembered that you're mommy, huh?"

Still, she knew that Irene was busy with work and would not have time for her children.

Still, she supported Irene’s job, although she usually returned so late she did not have time to spend with her children.

She and Isaac should spare some time for them, taking them outside on trips a couple times per month.

Irene naturally understood what Sheryl was getting at. "When I'm done with my tasks on hand."

She could not spare any time since she had just taken over as director and had too many things to do.

Later, Sheryl sorted out everything she bought, while Irene washed the fruits she bought and sliced them before taking them to the kitchen. Tommy was playing with building blocks while her younger son was sleeping.

Putting the fruit on the soft carpet, she sat cross-legged to play with Tommy, who was focusing on piling the blocks into a huge ship. He would keep playing even as Irene fed him slices of fruit, not sparing time to glance at her.

Irene did not impose and looked on as she waited for Isaac.

It was not until eleven that he finally came home, unbuttoning his sleeves as he said, "I need to tell you something.”

Irene was just about to tell him about Erin and James Cross, but she paused when she heard him.

“What is it?" she asked.
