The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1037

It was rare for the whole family to travel together, after all.

Irene tousled Tommy's hair and said, "You're that happy, huh?"Tommy nodded and hugged her, asking, "Where are we going?"

Irene had no idea, so she asked the man who was driving, "Where arewe going?"

She needed to take care of Baby and Tommy, so she had to stay in thebackseat, while only Isaac sat in the front row.

“I'll decide for the day. How about that?" he said.

"Okay." Irene smiled—there were plenty of places worth visiting, butIsaac was used to most and was therefore not interested.

Moreover, the children might not be interested as well, so he had goneout of his way to replace some that would suit the children.

They drove for a way, passing multiple neighborhoods with plenty ofdetached housing. It was sparsely populated and a lot less congestedthan Zidonia, making for a good living environment—other factorsnotwithstanding.

It was not surprising Mick Gooding would get to this place and refuse tomove afterward.

The car stopped outside a spot covered under bright green foliage, andthe very air was fresh.

Isaac picked Baby out of the car. The latter was quite heavy now anddeveloped a stubborn streak, refusing to be carried around and alwayswanting to walk on his own.

However, he was very slow on his short little legs and was certainlybeing difficult.

Only Isaac was able to carry him too.

Irene took Tommy's hand and headed inside side-by-side with Isaac.They certainly looked like a happy family, with one carrying a child andthe other leading another by his hand.

If only Baby was a daughter, it would have been more perfect.

Still, the sight alone was envious.

"What is this place..." Irene began to ask, but she was soon captivatedby the scenery before her.

Past the small woods was a crystalline lake, and the ground wascovered with vibrant green grass—it was a place for picnics and otheroutdoor activities.

A gentle breeze brushed against them just then, filling the air withinvigorating freshness.

Tommy quickly let go of Irene's hand and ran happily toward the lake—it seems that he liked being outdoors.

Irene smiled. "I should have brought food if I knew."

Isaac gave her a look. "It feels like you're saying that I'm not well-prepared.”

Irene giggled. "I was the one who did not prepare.”

However, she soon saw that Zachary and Mrs. Watson had arrived aswell, leaving her surprised. "How?"

Isaac had come here for the first time, but he was scouting the routeand the woods before calling Zachary over since this was definitely agood place.

Zachary and Mrs. Watson in turn brought everything from food to toysfor a picnic and basically everything they needed.

Tommy was naturally the most pleased about that, since he was theeldest and could eat and run around without anyone minding him, whileBaby did the same.

The greenery and the crystalline lake was just right for relaxing andunwinding.

Zachary sighed emotionally just then. “It would be perfect if we broughta grill set.”

Irene turned toward him. "Quite the glutton, aren't we?"

“It's just the right place for it," Zachary said. "And it's not that many ofus... If only James and his bride were here too."

Irene frowned. "You're unmarried, but you're an adult. Would he havetime to spend with you?"

Zachary was speechless—Irene's words were certainly unsettling.Even so...

"What do you mean, I'm unmarried? Heck, I was a divorcee, or did youforget?"

Irene was speechless—she really did!
