The Runaway Groom

Chapter 318

Irene was startled by his sudden move, and she shoved at his foot in the next instant. “What are you doing?! Get off me-I’d get the ointment all over you.”

Isaac reached out and took the swab out of her hands, throwing it on the table before pinning her down under himself.

Irene turned, not to struggle but to find a comfortable position.

Clang!

A loud noise suddenly echoed from the living room.

“What was that?!” Irene tensed up immediately, while Isaac frowned-seemingly unhappy with the sudden noise.

Irene was still looking at him. “Is there someone in the living room?”

Isaac breathed a feeble sigh just then..

“Is that Zachary?”

It was a question, but she basically knew the answer.

“He’s drunk,” Isaac explained.

He could not leave him outside by himself, so he brought him home..

That was when they heard a grating voice as if a table was pushed along the floor, and then something. dropped and shattered loudly, followed by a scream.

Irene quickly tightened up her loose dress and shoved Isaac. “You should check on him.”

Still, it was a while before Isaac finally got off her, and he scowled as he left the room.

He turned on the lights in the living room to find Zachary on the floor, although he should be lying on the couch.

He somehow moved an entire table, knocking a glass to the floor which shattered into pieces.

Isaac frowned as he walked up to Zachary. “Get up, Zachary Slate.”

Zachary, however, was too drunk to respond.

Meanwhile, Irene had come downstairs as well after dressing up properly, and sighed lengthily at the sight of the carnage. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Lulu was hurting, and so was he… Was this not just mutual torture?

“I’ll make him a warm honey drink,” she said and headed to the fridge.

Blargh…”

Zachary was suddenly retching.

Isaac’s brow furrowed, and he growled in disdain, “Throw up on my floor, and you’re out of the house.”

While Zachary was left stupefied, Irene arrived with the honey drink and was just about to help Zachary up when Isaac pulled her aside.

She shot him a look. “What’s gotten into you? You won’t just leave him like that, or you wouldn’t have brought him home.”

Isaac sees things differently, however-having his woman care for others, and a man at that, was absolutely out of the question.

He took the drink off her hands and put it on the table. “Go back to bed. Leave this to me.”

Irene glanced at the clock-it was certainly late, and she should head to work earlier tomorrow since it was her first day.”

So, she nodded and returned to the bedroom, only to remember that Isaac was completely incapable of taking care of another person!

Was he going to throw Zachary outside?

As such, she returned to the living room, only to find that Isaac had called in Jimmy, who helped Zachary off the floor and gave him the honey drink.

Zachary was not exactly complying. He was flailing around, and repeating how much it hurts.

Isaac stood nearby and growled coolly. “That’s your fault for boozing.”

Zacahry snorted. “I’m hurting.”

“And do you feel better now?”

Zachary said nothing, because he was just hurting inside at first-but he was now hurting physically too. When it rains, it pours!

As dawn arrived the next morning, Irene woke up and found Zachary lying on the couch.

She breathed a long sigh-she did not have time for this since she had to report herself at Melville Hospital, and left quickly after breakfast.
