Chapter 654
For the first time, Irene experienced what it was like to be too sore to get out of bed.
No matter how grilling it was before, Isaac was at least gentle and considerate.
But this time, it was all just jackhammering!
At one point, she actually felt like he would kill her!
As she was left fatigued, the man who left her limp stood before the tall mirror nearby, buttoning his shirt as he watched her reflection, asking, "Are you awake?"
Upset, Irene ignored him.
He then walked over to the bed, "Not getting up? You're having surgery today."
Irene pulled the blanket over her face, so he sat down and pulled it off. ’ What's wrong?"
Irene glared at him then. "That's my question. Just tell me if I did something wrong, instead of behaving so weirdly!”
Isaac held her gaze for seconds before asking, "How many men have you fallen in love with?”
Irene actually thought about it, but said, "Do I even have the time for that? Like I said, my dad kept pushing me to learn all sorts of disciplines since I was a child, and do you think med school is easy while I have to do that?"
’Fine. Get up." Isaac rose to his feet then and left, leaving Irene speechless.
She really could not understand Isaac's behavior, not to mention that she had not been in touch with anyone in particular.
What had gotten his goat?
Still, as she dragged her tired figure out of bed, she finally noticed all the hickies and bite marks he left on her neck, leaving her incensed!
How could she leave the house with all that, let alone undergo the surgery?!
Still in her pajamas, she stormed downstairs toward Isaac while he was still carrying Tommy, took their boy out of his hands, and dragged him upstairs by the collar.
Isaac allowed himself to be dragged, and Irene released her once they were inside their room, demanding, "You wanted this, didn't you?"
Isaac adjusted his collar as he asked, "Wanted what?"
Irene pointed at her neck, but he simply appeared smug after getting a good look, leaving her speechless.
Isaac freed her, naturally not daring to push her too far.
After she took a shower and got changed, she frowned when she saw that Isaac was still there. "Aren't you going to work?'
"Nope.” He grinned. "I'm coming to the hospital with you."
Feeling too embarrassed to see anyone just then, she said, "...Forget it. I'll reschedule the surgery."
"Too late." Isaac took her hand. "Let's go."
"Nope!" Irene snapped, holding on to the door knob.
Isaac said, "I'm carrying you downstairs if you don't move. You know I can do that."
His words were a naked threat-Tommy, Sheryl, and Mrs. Watson were all downstairs!
What would they think if they saw Irene and Isaac?
Irene hence reluctantly followed him to the car and headed to the hospital!
