The Runaway Groom
Chapter 391

Chapter 391

Mrs. Watson said, “I don't know-it's from a courier, and I didn’t open it.”On the other hand, out of curiosity, Irene picked up the invitation andopened it....

Only to replace Zachary Slate's name on it.

Her eyes widened. “Zachary is getting married already?”

She then checked the bride's name and saw that it was “Ember Lindt’.Was that the woman who got into bed with Zachary?

Irene’s face fell at the very thought. How many days had it been sinceZachary broke up with Lulu? And he was getting married already?How terrible would Lulu feel if she were to replace out?

She heaved a sigh.

Isaac walked up to her then and read the invitation but did notcomment.

He and Zachary were close, but he would not ask about Zachary'sprivate affairs, and would rather Irene. did not either.

“He’s an adult. He knows what he’s doing-you don't have to worryabout him.”

Despite understanding that, Irene said, “Yes, it's Zachary's marriageand his choice. No one can interfere... but I just feel bad for Lulu.”

“As long as you understand that,” Isaac said.

“Still, Zachary moves quickly,” Irene continued. “He's been with Lulu forso long, but there was no sign that they might get married... WithEmber, on the other hand-"

Before she could finish, Isaac suddenly took her by the wrist anddragged her toward their bedroom.

“What are you doing?” she asked, but he kept quiet.

It was only when they were inside that he closed the door and wrappedan arm around her waist. Pushing her up against the door, he thenkissed her with deadly precision, leaving her dumbfounded.

In broad daylight?!

She struggled a little, “Isaac, what are you doing...?"

“Let's have another baby.”

In reality, Isaac's feelings were all over the place, as if he was emptyinside.

But with Irene, he truly felt alive, and that he was flesh and blood.

On the other hand, Irene felt parched-Isaac had always been able toarouse her easily.

However, she was still rational enough.

“Tommy is still a baby. Let's wait until he's older...”

Isaac stopped right then, and lowered his gaze to meet hers. “Is thatwhy you've been using. contraception?”

Irene gasped in surprise. “What..?"

Isaac picked up her fake bottle of vitamin pills and waved it at her.“Look, I mean no harm...” she quickly said.

“And?”

Isaac was actually willing to listen, but Irene was suddenly afraid to tellhim-he would certainly get upset. if she told him that she wanted tokeep working.

As such, she wrapped her arms around Isaac's waist and looked upinto his eyes. “It's not like I don’t want more children. I just want to waituntil he’s older...”

“Really?”

Isaac, however, had long since seen through her-it was about her work.As such, he told her simply and solemnly, “I want more children,especially a daughter.”

“I know,” Irene replied, and was reminded of something else just then.“By the way, did you know that Whitney Cox is alive?"

“What?”

“Yeah, she wasn't dead. She had plastic surgery, changed her name,and married Chad Ross.”

Isaac actually did not know, and narrowed his eyes.

Whitney had actually survived?

So that was why he found Chad's bride resembling her... so it was her,but after undertaking a plastic surgery.

The thought that she had hurt Irene and made her lose one child left hisspite burning.

However, Irene was not about to let Whitney get into Isaac's head sinceLayla Gooding took priority.” Whitney's probably not doing well at themoment, though-she aborted Chad's kid, and he’s not going to let it go.Layla’s situation is more pressing, and I'm thinking we should arrangefor a neurologist to check what that thing in her head is.”

“I'll arrange for one,” Isaac said.

As Irene nodded, however, he realized that Irene was deliberatelychanging the subject. He tapped her on the tip of her nose. “Smart.”Irene bit her lip to play cute. “That's because I've always been aroundyou.”

Isaac chuckled in amusement. “Are you saying that you're gettingsmarter because of me?”

“Of course,” Irene replied, smiling too.

Isaac had a twinkle in his eye, and suddenly laughed.

Weirded out, Irene asked, “What's so funny?”
