The Runaway Groom Chapter 234

Isaac asked, “Is this a photo of you?”

Irene nodded firmly. “Yeah… When I was around seven, if I remember correctly.”

Isaac couldn’t help laughing at that.

Irene scowled, feeling like she was being mocked. ” What’s so funny?”

Isaac passed her the photo. “Are you sure this is you?”

Irene was left speechless the instant she saw it. Tommy was in the photo, not her.

“My mom must’ve changed it,” she explained.

It had to be Sheryl. No one else would do it!

Isaac’s gaze followed the photo as Irene put it on the drawer again. “Come back to the mansion with me, Irene.

“Okay,” she replied after a brief hesitation.

Footsteps could soon be heard, and they could hear

Sheryl calling out, “Irene? Are you home?”

Irene promptly got to her feet–she felt a little guilty, perhaps because Isaac was in the room with her.

Even though there was no reason to feel guilty…

“Mom,” Irene called out.

Hearing her voice, Sheryl arrived at the door, asking, Have you found Tommy?”

Sheryl was surprised to see Isaac there. Immediately, a scowl crossed her face. “Why are you here?”

From her perspective, Isaac was as irresponsible as he was cold.

How much trouble had Irene gone through to give her a son? And yet, what did he do in return?

“Waaaah…”

Suddenly, Tommy burst into tears.

“Oh! Tommy’s back?” Sheryl glanced at the bed when she heard his cry, and ran up to him without a care in the world.

She was naturally sentimental about the baby, since she had been caring for him ever since she was born. When he was abducted, she lost a lot of weight as she could neither sleep nor eat well.

Isaac certainly would not–he actually felt gratitude towards Sheryl for caring for his child.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Irene thought that Isaac couldn’t accept that, and promptly pulled away from him. She snapped, “My mom didn’t know! Why are you getting so petty? I explained everything!”

Isaac smiled, amused at the sight of Irene’s pouting,

indignant expression. “Are you angry?”

‘What do you think?!‘

Irene wanted to bellow at him, but instead turned to leave.

Isaac caught her by her wrist and said, “I’m not angry. I’m grateful for everything you and your mother have done.”

As Irene turned towards him, Isaac tugged at her and said, “Come to my office. Stan might be done by now.”

Irene was certainly reluctant–she hadn’t spent much time with Tommy ever since she brought him to this world, and she wanted to do just that since she had nothing else to do now.

“No.”

“I’ll have Jimmy drive you home soon,” Isaac said, ignoring her. He dragged her to his car and stuffed her inside, leaving Irene speechless.
