The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1029

They were led to the VIP room where Irene and Tommy sat on thecouch, waiting while Erin got changed in the dressing room.

There were plenty of sweets and beverages prepared on the table, andTommy started to snack on the chocolate.

Irene had to take out a tissue to wipe the chocolate that smudged overhis mouth. "Take it slow.”

Tommy held it out to her mouth. “This is good. Try it, Mommy."

Irene opened her mouth and ate it.

There was a lemony flavor to the strong chocolate taste, and there wasa minty freshness to the sugar sweetness.

The texture was rich and good as Tommy described it.

She quietly watched as Tommy went through everything else, whileErin soon came out of the changing room in her wedding gown.

It fused modern fashion with traditional Zidonian styles.

Despite Erin's usually lively demeanor, she appeared more prim andmature with the gown. After all, getting too risque at a wedding ruinedthe solemnity, especially if children or elderly were attending.

It was obvious that Erin had given it extra thought.

"How do I look?" Erin asked, twirling in front of Irene.

Irene nodded repeatedly. "It's great.”

Tommy was still munching on his snacks and murmured, "You look likea fairy."

Any woman would be pleased when they are praised for their beauty,and Erin was no exception.

She happily arched her back to pat his head. "Thank you for yourcompliment, Tommy."

Having tried and ascertained that the wedding gown fit, Erin alsodecided on the makeup and hairstyle since it had to match the gown.They ended up working late into the afternoon. Tommy was so bored ofwaiting he fell asleep on the couch, and Irene had to carry him whenthey left.

Tommy woke up in the car, but even before he opened his eyes, heasked, "Bring me another cake, Mommy..."

Both Erin and Irene laughed from his reaction, and Erin asked, "Whatcake would you like? I'm buying.”

It was only then that Tommy saw that they had left the boutique andwere in the car.

Since it was almost evening, Erin got some confectionery at a bakerybefore taking everyone to dinner at a restaurant.

It was 8 PM when Irene and Tommy reached their lodgings, andTommy went to sleep after a bath, worn out after staying outside for aday.

Irene took care of her baby so that Mrs. Watson could rest.

Neither Isaac nor Zachary was around, though they might be withJames at the moment.

She did not call to ask, and she tucked in her baby when it was late.It was late when she sensed the door opening while asleep, but shecontinued to sleep since she was too sleepy.

As Isaac lay down, he wrapped his arms around her from behind.She in turn leaned against his firm, warm chest when she felt him,pressing herself against him.

"What time is it?" she asked groggily.

"Almost one," Isaac replied.

Irene frowned a little. “That's very late."

"I was helping James with something,” he said, groping her waist alittle. "Just sleep.”

"Yeah," Irene replied, easily falling asleep since she was drowsyanyway.

It was soon Erin and James's wedding.

Irene woke early to dress up her sons since everyone, including thechildren, must appear presentable in any wedding.

They also headed out early, since it would not do to be late.

Erin had professional help so she did not need much assistance,though Irene still had to manage her children since there would bemany others attending the wedding.
