The Runaway Groom
Chapter 934

Irene turned around. "Yes?"

"Pierre was just here, but I told him not to wake you," Eagle told her. "The tutors are here."

"Okay," Irene said and started to carry Tommy to the living room. However, Tommy had gotten too heavy, so she had him walk on his own halfway through.

Meanwhile, Pierre brought in the tutors—there were four of them, two men and two women, and they were all Franconians.

They all appeared to be good people, though one of the men and one of the women were a little older while the other two were younger. Pierre passed their resumes to Irene. It showed that they were all university graduates, and three had experience as tutors.

Irene glanced at the older woman, who was on the pudgy side and looked kindly.

She looked like the patient type, which Irene needed in a tutor. Beckoning to Pierre, she softly told her the one she picked, but Tommy was suddenly pointing at the younger woman and saying, “I like her, Mommy."

Irene was left staring at him for a moment.

He was just a child, and he already knew how to pick the pretty ones? However, she shook her head in refusal—she was too young and did not have experience as a tutor.

Tommy was stubborn, however. "I like her."

Irene was silent, since Tommy would probably refuse to learn if she picked the one he did not like.

After hesitating for a while, she eventually agreed with Tommy and picked the young Franconian woman.

Pierre then asked, "When can she start work?"

“Let's have her start on a probation term first,” Irene said. "Let's see the extent of her abilities.”

With that, the hired tutor was allowed to stay while Pierre led the others out.

The tutor, Louise, greeted Tommy.

Since she could speak Zidonian, she had no problems speaking with the boy.

Irene had actually missed that on her resume and thought then that Louise was a good choice too.

Bzzt—

Her phone suddenly began to vibrate in her pocket, and she took it out, and answered it immediately when she saw that it was Stan.

"Hello?"

“The expert we hired made some projections, but there's a lot of ground to cover because of the higher altitude at which Mr. Jefferson released his parachute.”

Irene scowled but said, "Make preparations before you come over. We'll both go looking while James and Zachary stay. Someone has to hold the fort at Remy."

"Sure," Stan replied and started to make arrangements.

Two hours later, Stan arrived with Zachary, who insisted on going with Irene to search for Isaac. He added that James could handle everything at Remy alone since he would not be that helpful anyway.

Irene had no choice but to agree, while Stan brought out a map.

Since Isaac had jumped from a very high altitude, there was a lot of ground to cover.

They had already marked all the likely spots and would search each and every one of it.

It would take a lot of time since that was a huge area, but Irene was not worried about it—she was more worried about having zero clues.

Most of the locations were on the border between Franconia and Dunesia, and they would start from the nearest spot. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was only after they left the castle when Irene remembered that she did not arrange for when Louise could start work.

She called Eagle and told him to relay the message to Pierre that Louise could start teaching Tommy tomorrow.

"Yes, ma'am,” Eagle replied.

When Irene put down her phone, however, she saw Zachary giving her a stare that left her creeped out.

It was probably because he caught on that he actually had a child, but Irene could not tell him and therefore felt guilty.

She averted her eyes but he said, "I just noticed something, Irene.” Irene was shocked.

Did he notice that Lulu's child was actually his?

"W-What did you notice?" she asked.
