The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 1036

James froze when he saw Erin, unable to believe his eyes!

"What…"

Erin held a hand on her own chest. "What's wrong?"

James simply lowered his head and chuckled—he never expected Erin to put so much effort into making herself so alluring for their wedding night, just as he was surprised that she carried such charm.

"No good?" she asked, and peeked at herself in the mirror.

It was actually good, or so she believed.

James quickly shook his head. "No. It's good."

Though bewitching was even more appropriate, panting her with a different shade of charm!

As a man, he would be abnormal if he stayed unmoved!

He scooped her up in his arms, prompting her to yelp in surprise, "Let me down!"

James refused. "You're my bride."

Still, Erin exclaimed, "Your leg isn't better—"

James leaned in to kiss her lips before she could finish, leaving the words stuck in her throat.

And the rest was history!

When it was all over, Erin was resting her head on James's arm and nestled in his chest.

She looked up, her cheeks obviously blushing pink just then. "Do you know who gave me that dress?"

"Who?" James asked, lowering his gaze to meet hers.

"Irene."

She was certainly surprised that Irene would give her something like that—even James was raising his brow in surprise too.

She had resigned from work to take care of James, and now that their wedding was over, she could head to Franconia with him at any time.

"Let's take a few days to rest and get ready," James said.

The wedding was just over, and he was sure that Irene would need a break after traveling so far and with children too.

While adults might still be fine with traveling in quick succession, it might not be the same with kids.

"Okay." Erin nodded, agreeing with James too.

They decided to go out tomorrow—just the two of them, since they were just married.

-

Neither Tommy nor Baby were willing to stay still in the house, so Isaac went out with them.

Minerva was a country with rich culture, and there were plenty of places to visit—they had the time to bring the children out to take in the culture and sight of the country.

Tommy was a little excited.
