Chapter 192
Irene felt muddle–headed and almost conscious, but her eyelids felt too heavy for her to her eyes.
She was vaguely struggling against the darkness, but soon groggily fell asleep again.
Isaac breathed a sigh of relief at that she would not be this peaceful if she woke up.
Still, the thought left him scowling, and her wedding dress was certainly an eyesore. open
She looked so beautiful in that dress, but wore it to throw herself into another man’s arms… the very thought left his face ashen!
This woman…!
He hence started to rip off the wedding dress, unable to lean in to kiss her lips after ogling her naked form for a while, and pulled a blanket over her.
Dragging what remained of the wedding dress out of the room and closing the door behind him before leaving the house, he handed the torn dress to the security guard. “Throw this.‘
“Yes, sir.” The security guard promptly did so, while Isaac returned inside and took a shower, changed into fresh clothes and lay down beside Irene.
Lying on his side, he held her tightly in his arms, nuzzling her ears and greedily reveling in the sensation of having her in his arms.
Night soon arrived, but he was sleeping soundly for once!
He woke up early in the morning, and gave orders to stop Irene from leaving the room.
Naturally, the security guards took his orders seriously!
The peaceful scene at Rose Garden was a far cry from how things were with Harvey Gooding.
Both Ricky Spencer and Sheryl Harris were knocking on his door, demanding that he returned Irene.
Harvey’s reaction was almost colorful.
“I’m looking!” In fact, he had been doing that without food or rest over the last 24 hours!
He was already flustered to have lost Irene!
He had already been overwrought because of the whole incident. Ricky and Sheryl’s visit was undoubtedly fuel to fire!
“Well, didn’t you take Tommy too? If you won’t give my daughter back, at least give my grandson back!” Sheryl retorted.
“No way!” Harvey laughed icily.
Without Tommy, he would have no leverage against Irene: If they somehow managed to find her, and she learned that her son had been returned to the Spencers, would she still marry him?
Certainly not!
Ricky shot him a glare just then. “You took my sister and her son, and refused to give them up. Do you think we’re pushovers just because we don’t have numbers?”
However, despite his maturity, he was no match for Harvey, who had fought ferociously to survive many setbacks in business, and eclipsed the boy when it came to knowledge and experience.
Calming down soon enough, he threatened, “I don’t mind giving up Tommy. Get me Irene, or I won’t release that child!”
Harvey certainly knew that the Spencers could not do anything as long as he refused to release Tommy–they would even help him look for her!
