At the same time, Irene turned away from him, keeping her head down even as a certain emotion briefly flashed in her eyes. She was done cooking half an hour later—simple dishes with nothing elaborate.When Isaac sat down by the dining table, he realized that there was only one person's portion and asked, "Aren't you eating?""I'm not hungry," Irene replied and sat down with him, accompanying him although she was not eating. They were more or less married, weren’t they? Even though the only evidence for that was their marriage certificate and nothing else.One way or another, they were getting along unusually well today.-They had breakfast together the next morning, and Isaac said, "I can give you a ride to the hospital before going to work."Irene had not told him that she would not be working there anymore.Keeping her head down, she replied, "I won't be going today."Isaac simply presumed that she was still under the weather, and as such did not say anything. "I can h

It was Isaac's secretary, and she had finished checking Irene's bank records."I found nothing, sir. There are no records of ticket purchases."In reality, Irene had sent Sheryl away before herself. Naturally, she would never board a transport that required ID or bank records to run away. Instead, she arranged for the purchase of a small pre-owned car and kept it in Gostir Mall's basement parking lot. Everything down to her route was planned so that she would avoid any cameras to make a stealthy escape. Naturally, she had picked a mall since it would always be crowded, and she could put on a disguise to elude prying eyes. There was no way anyone could track her down—they would not even know where to start! -Be that as it may, Isaac checked through all security footage at the mall, though he did not find any trace of her.Both his secretary and chauffeur kept their heads down, afraid to speak at all while his expression turned icy. Despite his silence, the air around him

Pursing her lips, Irene eventually said, "I'm pregnant."Sheryl did a double take, and it took her a while to regain her senses."You're pregnant?" she exclaimed in slight disbelief.Irene nodded. "Is the child Isaac's?" Sheryl asked—to her knowledge, her daughter had never been involved in any relationship, something which Lionel was particularly strict about. Irene herself also always maintained firm moral integrity. The only man she came in close proximity with was Isaac, so he was the only person Sheryl could think of. On the other hand, Irene did not know how she should explain everything that had happened, and she could not bear to tell her mother the truth.What would her mother think if she said that she had no idea who the father was?Since Sheryl believed that the child was Isaac's, so be it—that was at least a better option than saying she had no idea."Yeah," she said, even though she hung her head and avoided Sheryl's gaze.Sheryl kept putting more food on her
The Runaway Groom Chapter 78
"Lulu," Irene greeted the other woman and gave her a hug. "Sorry for imposing this time."One of the reasons Irene had decided to come to Sunny City was because Lulu Adams was here, with the other being an artist's studio located here, which she had found online—she was interested in taking over.After Lionel pushed her to learn so much, she developed an interest in painting aside from medicine. She was more or less coming to an agreement with the seller online, and she would be going there to finalize everything after her meeting with Lulu."You're never imposing," Lulu said politely, patting Irene on the back. "I just showed your mom around when she arrived."Then, her tone shifted and she asked, "Why are you suddenly moving here? Your family seemed rooted in Cloud City before."Irene smiled bitterly. "It's a long story.""Well, anything on the menu catches your eye? Order away—it's my treat." Lulu did not press Irene for details and even changed the subject—everyone had th

Right now, all Isaac wanted to do was to find Irene—no matter what it would take.After that, it would be her death by a thousand cuts!To him, leaving him with nothing but a divorce agreement and running away was a betrayal! Even if there was no sentiment involved, they were still married! How could she run away without a word?Furious was far from enough to describe his emotion just then.However, two more weeks passed, and Stan still did not manage to get anything.They had been searching everything they could about Irene, but could not find any record of her having liaisons with a man."Nothing?" Isaac asked as he stood in front of a window wall at his mansion.His towering figure seemed to project coldness as he turned around. "Nothing," Stan admitted. "Be it med school or work, she never had a boyfriend."Isaac raised a brow, and simply presumed that Stan had slipped up. He had personally seen the morning after pills in that woman's bag. Why would she need that if
The Runaway Groom Chapter 80
Irene never expected Isaac to be crazy enough to post such an enormous bounty just to find her!Yes, she had managed to escape him without leaving any trace that he could use to track her down, but he simply decided to appeal to human greed!With networking being as advanced as it was, it would not be difficult to drag anyone out into the open with money and publicity!"What should we do now? Should we leave?" Sheryl asked anxiously.Even as she forced herself to stay cool, Irene looked up at her and said, "Calm down, Mom.""Why is he looking for you? Didn't you part ways with him amicably?" Sheryl asked in confusion then.Rubbing her cheeks, Irene admitted, "Actually, I ran away."Sheryl was left speechless. Still, she understood her daughter enough and soon realized that Irene just wanted to get away from the marriage that was never hers.After taking a moment to calm down, Sheryl said, "No, the world is big. There will always be a refuge for us."Irene, however, was not t

There were guards watching the entire residence inside out, but Irene had no intention of escaping anyway. After all, even if she managed to flee from Harvey, she would just end up caught by Isaac.Indeed, she no longer had the will to run.On the other hand, Harvey felt uneasy to see her being quiet and compliant."What are you up to this time, Irene?"Irene was simply sitting on the couch and calmly said, "I know I won't get away, so I won't waste my strength trying—that said, I'll kill myself if you try anything funny."Harvey chuckled. "Why would I go through so much to capture you, only to not get you?"Irene looked at him then. Harvey was not your typical greasy, perverted old man. He was tall and had a handsome face, while his eyes projected both a sense of mischief and indulgence. "Didn't you come to Sunny City to hide from Isaac? The fact that you ran proves that you hate him. If that's the case, I don't mind—""Dream on!" Irene cut Harvey short before he could fi
The Runaway Groom Chapter 82
Irene saw Sheryl and quickly turned to Harvey, who had returned as well.Why was he doing this? Why did he bring her mother here?!Even as her expression darkened, Sheryl hurried toward her. "Oh, Irene. This gentleman told me that he's your friend and was taking me to you. And you really are here!"Irene smiled at her. "Could you go in first?"Sheryl was puzzled, but nodded and entered the building. After making sure that Sheryl was gone, Irene glowered at Harvey. "What is this? Why did you bring my mother here too?"Harvey gave her a look. "I thought you were actually smart after all the times you escaped me. Why are you being so stupid now?""Who would know if you're really bearing ill will?" Irene was confused, but stared at him warily all the same since he had tried to mess with her so many times—he certainly was no angel.Harvey's face turned cold right then. "You're looking a gift horse in the mouth!"Irene sneered. "Are you saying you're being nice? Then why are you ke
