The Runaway Groom Chapter 1028
James was peeking because he was worried that the gift might be something that could hurt Erin's self-esteem, and he would rather spare her from having to feel that she was less than Isaac. Having worked for Isaac for so long, he knew that Isacc spared no expense when it comes to his own people. In fact, they were more brothers than merely superior and subordinate.It was exactly the case for when James was captured—Isaac was suffering from temporary blindness, but he carried on, calling favors and spending all the money he had to save James. Bosses did not usually do that. In other words, Isaac was loyal to a fault, but he never liked to express it.Even so, those who were with him knew very well that it was respect and a sense of security they would not get anywhere else. On the other hand, Erin was even more expectant when she realized it was not money, and she was starting to fumble a little.James simply reclined on the couch with the fresh juice, taking a sip and then sa

They were led to the VIP room where Irene and Tommy sat on the couch, waiting while Erin got changed in the dressing room.There were plenty of sweets and beverages prepared on the table, and Tommy started to snack on the chocolate. Irene had to take out a tissue to wipe the chocolate that smudged over his mouth. "Take it slow."Tommy held it out to her mouth. "This is good. Try it, Mommy."Irene opened her mouth and ate it. There was a lemony flavor to the strong chocolate taste, and there was a minty freshness to the sugar sweetness.The texture was rich and good as Tommy described it.She quietly watched as Tommy went through everything else, while Erin soon came out of the changing room in her wedding gown.It fused modern fashion with traditional Zidonian styles.Despite Erin's usually lively demeanor, she appeared more prim and mature with the gown. After all, getting too risque at a wedding ruined the solemnity, especially if children or elderly were attending.It wa

Irene's baby was being difficult. He was refusing to be carried, but he was also so small that anyone not noticing would knock into him if he walked. That was why someone must always be on hand to watch him.Tommy was older and would stay put and stick with Irene when told so."It's such a grand wedding," Mrs. Watson exclaimed in awe, impressed by the wedding hall when they arrived.The place was as grand as it was dreamlike—Mick certainly was not going to be stingy since Erin was his only child, and he had many friends in Minerva.James had also been making a fortune over the years he worked for Isaac and could naturally afford such a wedding too. However, Mick was the one who actually paid, saying that it was his duty as a father.Mrs. Watson leaned in to whisper into Irene's ear, "I think Mr. Jefferson should do one for you too."Irene smiled. "Now? Both our children are walking already…""Exactly. This is a once in a lifetime occasion for women," Mrs. Watson said.Irene saw

"Come on, it's just a suit," Zachary said, putting his elbow on James's shoulder. "And what's more important, me or the suit?"James replied, "The suit, of course."Speechless, Zachary started to turn and leave.James promptly caught him. "I'm just kidding. Why so serious?"Zachary snorted. "It's understandable if you told me that your bride's more important, but your clothes too?! It's over. We're done."James chuckled. "Why are you being so petty?""You're petty." Zachary shot James a look.The pair continued their banter, but they were self-aware enough to quickly stop talking once they arrived at the crowded hall and even flashed a genial smile.Their ability to change their expressions was certainly instantaneous.And being the protagonist of the day, James did draw considerable attention.Mick had made plenty of friends at Minerva over the years. Many of them were attending James and Erin's wedding, and Mick was eagerly introducing James to everyone.Though the ceremon

Even as Erin and James held each other's gaze, their lips curled into faint smiles.It was a good day, especially for them, and it was only right that they would be happy.No matter what happened before, they were happy at that very moment.After the exchange of rings, the priest announced with perfect timing, "You may now kiss the bride."Zachary hyped things up from the pews. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"James had been feeling a little awkward at first, and Zachary's goading only made him even more embarrassed.He looked down at Zachary, stopping himself from snapping at the man because there were many others around. Zachary even started whistling at James. "Kiss the bride! Or are you getting shy, bridegroom?"While James was speechless, Erin giggled from Zachary's antics, and she was also close enough to see that James's ears were red. She was actually surprised that he could get embarrassed."Come on, James! Get down here if you can't. I'll sub in!" Zachary's banter escalated fu

Erin smiled in anticipation. "What is it?""You'll know when you get there," Irene replied.Tommy tugged on the hem of her shirt, curious as well. "Mommy, what is it?"Irene tapped his little nose and said, "You're just a kid. You don't need to know—come on, let's eat something tasty."The wedding reception must have started, and she turned toward Erin and asked, "Are you hungry? I can get you something to fill your stomach for the time being.""I'm not hungry," Erin replied."Okay." Irene smiled. "We will be going now."Erin nodded. "See you later."-Irene did not see Isaac at their family's table, and Mrs. Watson told her that Mick had taken Isaac away.She took Baby off Mrs. Watson's hands, who flailed while babbling, "Mama, mama…"Irene took his little hand and kissed it. "Be good.""He really refuses to settle down these days. Just leave him to me—you should eat." Mrs. Watson held out her hands.Irene waved Mrs. Watson off. "You can eat with Tommy. I'll take Baby out
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1034
The bridal suite was decorated in lively fashion with rose petals, ribbons and balloons.James, however, was frowning as Erin rummaged through everything. "What are you doing?"It was almost as if she had forgotten that she was a bride that day.In fact, she did not even turn around to look at her bridegroom as she smiled. "Irene told me that she left a gift here. I want to see what she prepared for me.""Alright, you keep searching," James said. "I'll take a shower."Erin waved him off, still facing away from him. "Let's go."James was speechless—was the gift more important than him? It was as if she did not care about him already.Walking up to her, he asked, "What, am I less precious than a gift?"Erin looked up, staring at him for almost a minute in shock, leaving James a little embarrassed."W-What are you looking at?" James asked, touching his cheek. "What, is there dirt on my face?"Erin shook her head seriously. "No, but there's something else.""What?" James asked.

The dress unfurled, and Erin could tell immediately that it was an alluring sleeping gown—she had to let it loose to see what it was.She had never dressed in anything so risque and was at once thrilled and delighted.She wondered how James would react when he saw her put it on, and the very prospect excited her.Still, she wanted to surprise him, so she left it outside, while James returned after his shower. "Did you find it?""Yeah," Erin replied evenly."What was it?" James asked, somewhat curious.Still, he presumed it to be jewelry, since women loved their necklaces, bracelets, and the like."It's nothing," Erin replied."It's nothing? What is it?" James pressed. "I need a shower," Erin said and headed straight to the bathroom.James chuckled. "Is everything alright here? We just got married and we're already splitting our wealth? What's so valuable that you can't show me?""It's a priceless treasure. I'm not giving it to you just like that." Erin flashed a mysterious
