The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1019

Zachary said, "That's right. You'd envy me for having a daughter whileyou don't."

Isaac chuckled. "For now. Who knows what happens when she getsolder? On the other hand, my sons would still be mine."

Zachary was speechless.

What was that supposed to mean? That his daughter would not be hisonce she became an adult?

Hilarious! His Jean would always be his! How would she not be hisdaughter once she got older?

And yet, something suddenly occurred to him and he understood whatIsaac meant and was left frowning!

"Isaac!" he cried, chasing after him. "Y-You'd better watch your sons!Tell them to stay away from my daughter!"

Irene gave Baby a pointed look and chuckled. “That's why youshouldn't get too smug or you'd lose your daughter.”

Zachary was speechless.

The thought that the daughter, with whom he would raise carefully,would grow up to be someone else's girlfriend or wife left him utterlyfrustrated.

Isaac's words were especially infuriating.

What was that supposed to mean, his?!

Jean would never fall for the likes of Isaac's sons! And no one wastaking Jean away from Zachary!

"Dream on." Zachary snorted coldly.

Isaac was not bothered to argue with Zachary—how long had it onlybeen, but he was already an overprotective father?!

“Then raise her until she's as old as seventy,” Isaac said.

Zachary was left speechless again.

No way!

His darling Jean would marry someone young and successful in thefuture and certainly not end up a spinster!

Come to think of it, letting her marry one of Isaac's sons made sense.Isaac was rich, and neither him nor Irene were ugly.

In that case, both Tommy and Baby would look more or less the same.Zachary could keep an eye on them while they grew up as well andpick the more successful one, and Isaac would have to follow hischoice!

Moreover, if his daughter were to really marry one of Isaac's sons, theboy would become his son-in-law.

From a certain perspective, he would have a daughter and half a son...which meant he would have stolen half a son from Isaac!

That was certainly no loss!

Hurrying up to Isaac's side, Zachary said, "So, I was thinking Tommycan attend school now."

Son-in-laws had to be groomed from a young age, after all.

Isaac looked at him askance. "That's my son. What are you worriedabout?"

"Haha." Zachary laughed. "I'm concerned for your sake, y'know?"Isaac, however, saw through him. "Anyone can read you like a book."Zachary was left speechless—was he being that obvious?

Well, it did not matter.

Chuckling, he said, "I think both your sons are just fine."

“I won't bethrothe my sons while they're still children,” Isaac said,cutting him short.

Isaac respected his children and their marriage, so no one got to haveany funny ideas with them.

"Of course. It's no issue,” Zachary replied.

However, his daughter would be growing up with Isaac's sons, so thatmade them childhood friends.

So what if Isaac refused? It was fine as long as his sons were willing.Now that he thought about it, Jean would be a better fit for Baby—theywere almost the same age and could attend school together and playtogether...

And a boy beside his daughter meant she would be protected.

"When Baby's older, you could send him to self-defense classes," hesuggested to Isaac, so that Jean would be better protected.

Isaac warned, "Bother me again and you're out of here."
