Chapter 622

"Zachary saw this stewardess," Irene explained, "and he kept insistingthat she looked exactly like Lulu. I thought that since I had no time tohelp, I wanted to ask him to update me after he gets to the bottom ofthis... But he left already.”

“You don't have to care about everything, y'know," Isaac said. "Look athow skinny you are-you should be staying home to get some properrest.”

Irene had certainly noticed that her health was failing.

She had not properly recovered from her postpartum period twice now.And with all the mental stress weighing down on her, she would havestarted to crumble long ago if Mrs. Watson and Sheryl had not beenmaking her nutritious food every day.

Suddenly, Isaac scooped her up in his arms, and Irene wrapped herarms around his neck in surprise.

That really came out of nowhere!

Glaring at him, she grumbled, "Can't you act proper too? We're outside,and there are people watching, please!"

"What's the problem? We're married, and you're frail. Can't I, yourhusband, show some concern?" Isaac said as he carried her off thecruise ship.

There were actually many people at the harbor, and they naturallycaught a lot of attention.

Irene felt her cheeks burning and she shyly buried her face in his chest,pretending to fall asleep.

Isaac lowered his gaze, and found the way she was hiding amusing.As he carried her back to the car, the chauffeur quickly opened the doorfor them, and he put Irene inside.

Sensing safety and that no one was watching, she looked up andstared daggers at Isaac. "Do that again and I'll be very cross with you.""And it would be the couch for me, right?" Isaac asked, raising a brow.“You threatened me with that already.”

Irene was speechless, though she soon let it go since he had alwaysbeen that shameless.

As she simply decided to stay silent, Isaac glanced at her sideways."Are you upset?”

Irene feigned displeasure. "You thoroughly humiliated me."

It was Isaac's turn to be speechless.

How was that humiliating? Everyone was clearly looking at themenviously!

Pulling a straight face, he suggested, "Well, from now on, you'll carryme and humiliate me the same way. Will that do?"

Irene laughed despite herself. "Why are you always so shameless?"Isaac pulled her into his arms then. "I just love it when you smile."Naturally, he was teasing her so that she would not be weighed downby their troubles all the time.

Understanding that, Irene leaned over his chest, quietly saying, "Myonly wish now is that we replace our child soon and live together as ahappy family."

Isaac yearned for that too-his parents had left him when he was a child,and Jefferson Manor was a cold, dismal place.

It was not actually easy for him to reach adulthood, and he could notremember familial warmth at all.

But with Irene and their children, he had a family now.

"We'll replace him."

Harvey Gooding had regained consciousness by the time James Crossreturned with his child, and he was struggling to get off the floor.James put the baby on the bed and walked up to untie Harvey.

Once he got his freedom, however, he promptly swung his fist atJames's face.

"Fuck you!"

James simply sidestepped him.

Missing his mark, Harvey remained disgruntled and tried again, but thistime James simply caught his fist. “You're not going to win here.”Harvey, thoroughly undignified, pulled off the ropes around him androse to his feet, ready for fisticuffs.

James did not have the time to spare with Harvey and told him asmuch. But as James turned to leave, Harvey lunged at him deviously!
