The Runaway Groom
Chapter 497

Chapter 497

Isaac saw the woman walking around the circular fountain in front ofthe hotel.

She was wearing a khaki trench coat with a white floral dress, and herblack mini boots were short enough to bare her fair legs. Despite beingheavily pregnant, she was not swelling up. Her black hair was spreadover her shoulders, and despite the face mask hiding her face, it did nothide her tenderness.

As James stopped the car, Isaac alighted and started toward her.

Irene had been keeping her head lowered and did not notice theperson coming toward her, so she suddenly found her way blocked byanother person.

She tried to move to the right, but the person before mimicked her tokeep blocking her path, doing the same when she moved to the left.Frowning in slight annoyance, she growled, “Could you-"

She trailed off when she looked up and saw the person before her, andshe quickly lowered her head again guiltily.

"Please, excuse me," she said, but there was a quiver in her voice.Even so, that single look was enough for Isaac to recognize her.

Who else could she be?

"What if I refuse?" he said with faint anger.

Irene, clutching her belly, tried to turn and leave, but Isaac quicklycaught her by the wrist and pulled her back to the hotel without a word.She panicked-she had never expected Isaac to recognize her as soonas she returned, even catching hold of her!

"You've the wrong person,” she said, bracing herself.

Isaac stopped in his tracks. "You're not Jane Tanner?"

Irene was left confused, but she refrained from struggling because shewas heavily pregnant.

After Isaac pulled her to the room, he growled, "Card."

Irene's eyes widened in disbelief. "Y-You know where I'm staying?"Impatient, Isaac began to scrounge through her trench coat pocketsbefore replaceing it. He then proceeded to swipe it and pulled her inside.And the instant he closed the door, he pinned her against it, his eyeslocked on hers as he flashed a smile-it did not quite reach his eyes, andwas actually intimidating.

He suddenly reached out and tore her face mask off, and she turnedaway in reflex to hide her facial scars.

"Are you hiding?" His gaze was dark like a bottomless abyss just then.Irene lowered her gaze, her voice hoarse for some reason. “I..."

She had so much to say, but did not know what to tell him.

Was she supposed to complain that he did not love her?

Or was she supposed to explain that she would never use their son toforce him to stay with her?

It was hilarious thinking about it now.

"How did you know I was-Umph!”

He had forced his lips onto hers without warning and he was devouringher viciously. At the same time, his hand firmly brushed through her hairto hold her head, forcing her to meet his firm Kiss.

The familiar scent upended Irene's thoughts, and her handbag slid offher hand.

She slowly closed her eyes, but that was how easily one would bemoved when they are in love.

Even if she repeatedly told herself to calm down, her heart and mindare always easily messed up when she was face to face with him.Restraint? What a joke.

She slowly raised her hands, wrapping them around his waist as she greedily breathed in hisscent.

"Who's the father?"

She had been entranced by the kiss, but the growling question cleared her mind right then.Her eyes widened, her pupils dilating.

At the very next instant, she shoved him away as hard as she could, her fingers curling intoher palm in fury.

He has every right to not love her, but he had no right to slander her!

Her body shook violently, and she raised her hand to slap him across the face!
