The Runaway Groom

Chapter 274

Isaac was in the photo, along with Kathy!

They were standing outside a hospital ward, with Kathy holding the hem of Isaac’s jacket–he had turned around, so his expression could not be seen.

Irene did not flip out when she saw the photo, since the fact that she was sent it made one thing clear: someone wanted her to see it.

Their objective was also obvious–they wanted a misunderstanding between her and Isaac.

Thus, Irene refused to jump to conclusions and decided to listen to what Isaac had to say instead.

Though she blackened the screen and turned to look

outside the car, her mood soured by the minute.

Suddenly, she seemed to forget entirely about Ricky. The photo was all she could think about.

Although the rational part of her mind insisted that

someone was deliberately attempting to drive a wedge between her and Isaac, the emotional side of her mind was still worried.

After all, Kathy was beautiful… And why was she tugging

at Isaac’s clothes?

Nonetheless, she was soon back at Rose Garden.

Tommy was wide awake, and Mrs. Watson was carrying him around the living room.

Irene washed her hands before taking Tommy off Mrs. Watson, and the baby nestled against her collarbone, as if knowing that she was his mother.

Irene’s heart almost melted right then. She leaned in to give him a peck on the cheek as warmth unfurled in her

heart.

Life was indeed a miracle.

She played with Tommy for some time. Though he eventually got hungry, he fell asleep halfway through his

bottle of milk.

Irene tucked him in his crib. In the evening, she headed

to the kitchen.

Mrs. Watson was already there. “You don’t have to come,

ma’am. Just leave this to me.”

Irene smiled. “I wanted to cook tonight. I think Isaac will

come back soon.”

Mrs. Watson was naturally smart enough to catch Irene’s hint that she wanted to cook for Isaac, and so quickly said, “I’ll help.”

“I’m fine on my own,” Irene insisted.

“I’ll take care of the laundry, then.” Mrs. Watson finally left the kitchen.

Irene worked alone, and was done after ninety minutes- just in time for dinner.

Isaac had yet to return when the last dish was completed, however, and Irene took out her phone. She wanted to call him and ask if he would be late, but just as she hesitated, she heard the front door opening.

She walked over and found Isaac entering, wearing the same jacket Kathy had been tugging on in the picture.

Nonetheless, Irene smiled. “Hey.”

Isaac looked up at her in turn.

She had tied up her hair into a ponytail and wore a simple white T–shirt matched with blue jeans, with an apron tied around her slender waist.

It was a simple and modest getup, but perfect in his eyes.

The air suddenly seemed rife with hormones.

“Hey,” he replied.

“Go wash your hands–dinner’s ready.” Irene said as she

returned to the kitchen, and brought the food to the

dining table, even setting down fork and knives as Isaac

entered.

She sat down in front of him after he did, and popped a bottle of beer for him, pouring it for her.

Isaac raised a brow. “Did something good happen?”

“Not really,” Irene replied. “Just wanted to drink with

you.”

She was perfect to Isaac in every way.

Taking the bottle off her hands, he said, “I’ll do the

honors.”

Irene pursed her lips. “My mom just told me that she thinks we should get married in October. I sort of agree since we’ve really been busy lately–we should wait until

things settle down before we tie the knot. We’re in no

rush, anyway.”

Isaac was quiet for a while, but eventually agreed. “Yeah.”

Now was certainly not the time to tie the knot. They were already living like a married couple, anyway.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
