The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 446

Chapter 446

When the door opened and Irene saw the person standing outside, she exclaimed in surprise, "You?!"

"Stephen contacted me and gave me your address," Mick Gooding told her. "He wants someone to take care of you, since you've just arrived and probably not used to this place.”

Irene did not let him in immediately-naturally, she had her concerns.

"Don't worry," Mick assured her. "Stephen told me everything-your secret is safe with me."

It was only then that Irene let him in.

While Mick survived a car crash, he was injured considerably. It was only thanks to the advancement of medical technology that he made a full recovery.

Even so, Yvaine's death still hit him badly-he looked much older now, and the tip of his hair was turning white, as if he aged a decade in an instant.

After Mick entered, he gave Irene a business card. "Here's my number and address. Contact me if you need help.”

Irene took it out of politeness. "Thank you."

"You don't have to. I mean, didn't you come here because you helped me, and got into an argument with Isaac?" Mick asked.

Irene shook her head. "No, it's our own problem-it has nothing to do with you."

"Then may I ask the reason?"

Irene stayed silent, clearly reluctant to tell him.

Knowing that he had stepped out of line, Mick said, "Alright, just pretend I never I never asked."

He would have been pleased if he was not dead, since his plan worked-he just did not live to see Isaac fall for the daughter he groomed with such painstaking effort.

It was very late and Irene was still in front of her desk, which was piling with stacks of books and notes.

Her hair was loose, hiding her gruesome burn scars so that she only showed the flawless side of her face.

There was a tender look in her eyes beneath the faint glow of the table light, and she put down her pen to put a hand on her bulging belly, while she stared at her calendar.

It would soon be Tommy’s birthday, and her clock jingled just then, indicating that it was now 12 AM.

She constantly missed her baby and thought of him often, and the arrival of his birthday made him miss her further.

She then picked up her phone, her fingers clenching over it for a moment as she hesitated, but made the call!
