The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34

On the other end, Stan relayed Whitney’s message word-for-word without revealing the fact that he was acquainted with Irene.

Meanwhile, Isaac’s expression appeared to soften, and he was surprised that Whitney would ask for a favor for Irene.

“I’ll do what I can,” he replied.

However, his quick response was not for Whitney’s sake. Instead, he did not want Irene to stay jobless, having to present herself in a risque fashion and accompany strange men.

Likewise, chatting about such… private affairs with other men online was unacceptable as well! Seeing the message with that man just now was unacceptable!

“Understood,” Stan said, hung up and relayed what he said to Whitney. Even so, she was not at all happy, Isaac was refusing to see her.

The next morning, when Irene arrived at the dance studio, Ms. Lang held her hands and thanked her repeatedly. “Thank you so much! Mr. Jefferson has agreed to invest in my husband’s business! But… he also told me that Mr. Jefferson dragged you away-are you alright? Did he do anything to you?”

Irene nodded. “Yes, I’m fine.”

That was when her phone rang in her pocket–it was a call from Whitney, and she hesitated for a while before answering.

“Irene? I’m sorry about last night. My temper got the better of me last night, so please don’t hold it against me. Also, I asked for a favor from Isaac, so you can attend the internship at Central Hospital. Think of it as my way of apology, and remember to clock inat 9 AM.”

Irene frowned-Whitney never usually beliaved like this.

Still, she was not about to miss such an opportunity. “Got it.”

She told Ms. Lang that she was resigning right then, and Ms. Lang was very agreeable, even paying her right then and there. “Here, this is what you’ve earned.”

Irene remained calm, but she thought then that Isaac and Whitney were really close.

Seeing that she was not responding, Whitney knew right then that her hunch was right: Isaac and Irene were not an ordinary married couple. After all, should a wife not be upset upon finding out that her husband was cheating on her, or at least interrogate him?

Irene, however, acted like it was of no consequence.

Still, after getting her uniform, she felt like she could vomit.

“I need the washroom,” she said as she shook off Whitney, while feeling something foreboding. Her period was very late, and despite feeling that it was unlikely, she got a pregnancy test from the pharmacy… and it turned out to be positive!

She was dumbfounded – how did this happen? She had clearly taken her morning after pills… although the second pill was in her bag, forgotten after Isaac had caught her with

However, taking just one pill only offered a success rate of 80%, even though she and that man had only done it once. Still sitting on the toilet, her thoughts were scattered.
