The Runaway Groom
Chapter 937

Marie quickly asked, "What did you see?"

Thomas promptly barked at her to stop!

"This is a vineyard, that's all! What would he have seen? Just bunches of ripe grapes!"

However, Isaac sharply caught the point from what Marie blurted.

She was concerned about what he saw, and that meant there was something here that must never be seen.

It was likely that this vineyard was just a front, but the couple were not bad people—he would be dead if they were.

“I'm grateful that you saved me," Isaac said. "If you need my help, I won't be stingy."

However, Marie did not dare to speak anymore and only gingerly tugged at Thomas’ sleeve, as if tacitly telling him that they could take a chance on Isaac.

Even so, Thomas was not as trusting as she was, and he was considerably more prudent.

He shot her look that told her to be as much, and he picked up his basket. "Come with me."

He was not worried about Isaac escaping—one being that this place was too isolated and difficult to leave, the other being Isaac's blindness. Anyone with a normal pair of eyes would never find their way out, let alone a blind man!

Isaac then said, "You can check out the recent news." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Both Thomas and Marie turned to look at him for a moment, but Thomas said nothing as he strode out with Marie in tow.

She would return in the afternoon to cook dinner—Isaac had been eating the food she cooked ever since he became certain that they were not bad people.

As usual, she brought food for Thomas at the vineyard and spotted him sitting under the vines, stuffing his mouth with some ripe grapes as he stared at his phone.

It was only ever used to contact their “employers’, and Marie's heart would always be pounding whenever she saw Thomas take a call. She was standing nearby when Thomas noticed her and beckoned at her.

She walked over to him, standing but not putting down lunch just yet— she was concerned that it would be bad news.

Nonetheless, Thomas pulled her wrist so that she sat beside him, and he showed her his phone.

He had actually listened to Isaac and started searching for news about plane crashes.

It turned out that there had been one, and it was in Dunesian airspace too.

He told her, “The Zidonian just might not be lying."

"Should we help him, then?" Marie asked.

Thomas shook his head—he would not believe anyone so easily, which was why he wanted to discuss it with Marie.

“I thought...” Marie began, but she paused since it was not something spoken of lightly.

Handing Thomas his lunch, she said, "Here, eat up."

Thomas took the food she brought, keeping his thoughts to himself. He had been spending less time tending to the vineyard over the last few days, and he often sat out there, checking his phone.

He needed more information on Isaac, because he could not blindly believe someone and help him.

Irene spent a few days at the first stop but did not find any clues. Zachary pointed out, "We shouldn't linger for too long."

However, Irene shook her head because she was worried about missing some minute detail.

At her request, they stayed another day and prepared to leave the next day.

She was starting to have digestive issues and was worn out spiritually. Zachary told her, "You're just overstressed."

And that would hurt her body and mind.

Irene took a sip of water—she knew that, since she had been constantly on edge since Isaac went missing.

Bzzt—

Her phone suddenly started to ring.

She answered it to the sound of a deep voice. "Irene."
