Chapter 648

Irene did not even turn around as she arranged the books in the box."Some are important, especially the notes. Those might still be useful forme."

Then, pointing at the stuff she sorted out, she said, "I have to keepthese. Can I keep it in your room?"

Isaac watched as Irene put that diary among the stack, whereas Irenedid not see the terrible look on his face just then, even as shecontinued without knowing, “TH take your silence for a yes-don't worry,though, I won't take up much space. Maybe four tiles, since I'mdumping the rest.”

Isaac said nothing and turned to leave.

After Irene sorted the books she wanted, she found some of Sheryl'sbelongings and took them to her too.

Once they bathed Tommy and changed diapers for the baby, Sherylreminded her, "It's time you named junior.”

“I'll get Isaac to actually think of something. I don't want it to be half-baked like we did with Tommy," Irene said.

"Tommy is a nice name, though?" Sheryl said.

"Yeah." Irene grinned.

After heading upstairs and taking a shower, she slipped underneath theblanket as she told Isaac, "It's time you named your baby."

Isaac did not answer, almost as if he did not hear her.

Even so, Irene knew that he was not asleep-usually, he would beclinging to her like a labrador.

But he was not doing that... In fact, he had his back to her.

This was unprecedented.

Was he... angry?

She snuggled up to him from behind, hugging him and coaxing, "Areyou still upset about Erin?"

“I'm sleepy,” he growled and pushed her away.

This was the first time he did it, and it left Irene taken aback.

"Are you tired...?" she asked tentatively.

Isaac simply kept his eyes closed to feign sleep.

Irene lay there, her eyes wide open and unable to fall asleep, glancingat the back of his head from time to time.

She was not that dense-she could tell that he was in a bad mood.However, she had no idea why.

Rubbing her temples, she told herself that he might just be tired, andshe was just being paranoid.

She closed her eyes, eventually dozing off and falling asleep, herbreathing turning faint and rhythmic soon enough.

Isaac sat up right then, and stared at her in disbelief.

She fell asleep? Just like that?! Without trying to appease him or evenasking what upset him?!

For some reason, he was getting more frustrated the more he thoughtabout it, especially what she had written in her diary!

He grumpily pulled the blanket to himself and away from him.

Irene was sleeping soundly and simply curled into herself a little fromthe cold.

Isaac saw that, and could not help returning the blanket, even pulling itover her shoulders as he was worried that she would catch a cold.

He really lacked the spine the more he thought about it.

Why was he getting upset over her when she did not even care?

With that, he kept tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep the wholenight while Irene slept like a log.

When she found him still laying there in the morning, she thought thathe must be tired since he always woke earlier than she did.

She gingerly got out of bed to not wake him, scrunching up her hairnonchalantly and went to brush her teeth.

Suddenly, she noticed Isaac standing by the door, staring straight ather.

Irene turned and saw the dark circles under his eyes, seemingly due tonot sleeping the entire night.

"Couldn't sleep?" she mumbled, bubbles foaming out of her mouth.Isaac was left thinking who else in the world could sleep so soundlyand heartlessly like her.

Still, he suddenly snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Irene was actually stunned.

Did he just snort at her?
