The Runaway Groom
Chapter 936

Irene was silent for a moment before she replied, "I'll leave if he doesn't love me."

"Could you do so without tears? Without regrets?" Zachary pressed. Irene was silent.

She had no idea, and the answer was probably not.

After all, once a person falls in love, any parting would break their heart. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Don't worry. I hear you—I'll let her go for the sake of her happiness." Zachary pursed his lips in a smile. "Do you know why two people in love still have to part?"

"External factors," Irene replied.

It was certainly the case for Zachary and Lulu. So much had happened between them that they were driven apart.

In fact, even if Lulu turned around and accepted him again, things might not return to the way they had been for them.

A relationship is a fragile object. Once shattered, it would never be the way it was, no matter what is done.

"Did you watch Garfield?" Zachary suddenly asked.

Irene shook her head—she did not have the luxury of watching cartoons as a child.

As such, Zachary told her, "So there's this episode where Garfield got lost and was sold to a pet shop. He was naturally in pain and worried that Jon would get depressed from missing him... that is, until one morning when Jon entered the same pet shop and found Garfield. He bought the fat cat again and was reunited.”

"At the end of the episode, Garfield was watching the setting sun as he mused to himself that he'd never ask John why he entered that pet shop. Jon, in turn, never told Garfield that he had just a sliver of hope as he visited the last pet shop in town."

Both of them turned silent, leaving the car in quietness.

At the same time, Stan was occasionally glancing at the both of them from the rearview mirror.

Even if there were occasions when James taunted him for being single, he could already see, as a bystander, just how painful a relationship could get.

That was why he believed that being single was much better.

Why fall in love when friendship and a career were just as good? Soon, they arrived at the first stop and checked in at a hotel, since they had no idea how many days they would be staying.

Isaac stopped Thomas and Marie before they were about to work at the vineyard for the day.

"Could I have a word?" he asked.

"There's nothing to say," they replied. "Just stay put. We don't want to hurt you."

Nonetheless, Isaac had been thinking for a long while since last night, but he simply could not understand why they wanted to hold him here. "What's sealing your lips? There's no reason you would confine a stranger here for no reason,” he pointed out nonetheless.

While Thomas and Marie were silent, there was wariness and murder in Thomas's eyes!

"Why'd you ask?" Thomas asked sharply. “We can save you, but we could also have you killed. I know you can tell that we are somewhere isolated, and it's just us both here. We just have to dig a hole and bury you, and no one would be the wiser."

Isaac was not intimated. He calmly said, "If you were that horrible and wanted to do that, you would've already done it instead of saving me and waiting.”

Marie tugged at Thomas's sleeve, but he was glaring straight at Isaac. This was the first time they exchanged words, but Thomas immediately sensed how sharp and smart Isaac was.

And though Isaac could not see his face, he was basically sure that Thomas was not a bad person.

“I know you're not bad people, and I can tell you assuredly that I'm not one either," Isaac said. "It's just that my plane went down. That's why I'm here."

Isaac never sensed anyone aside from Thomas and Marie, since he heard no other sounds aside from them.

And he decided then that this was no village!

"What are you worried about?" Isaac continued. He then mentioned what he had been thinking for a while. "Is there perhaps something here that must never be seen, and you're afraid that I'll expose you?"
