The Runaway Groom 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

What should she do? Irene could not believe that she was pregnant, but quickly composed herself and left to get an ultrasound.Through it all, she wondered if the pregnancy test results might be wrong, but the scan revealed that she was two months pregnant. "Congratulations, you have twins!"Irene was utterly dumbfounded.She was really pregnant? And with twins?!"Are you sure there's no mistake?" she asked hoarsely."Of course not. Why would there be? See here? Two gestational sacs," the doctor said as she moved the mouse cursor, outlining the area.Irene craned her neck for a look, and seeing the ultrasound left her overwhelmed with various emotions."However, I can see that you're not feeling well. You should rest more now that you're pregnant," the doctor said then."Understood," Irene replied.With that, she picked up the ultrasound sheet and left the ultrasound room. Whitney saw Irene leaving and entered. She probed the doctor and found out right then that Irene wa

On the other hand, Irene remembered Whitney's relationship with Isaac, and did not react well to Isaac's presence—not after what Whitney had done to her."I can do whatever I want. Why do you care?"She was utterly panicked just moments ago. Even though she had every intention to get an abortion after learning about her pregnancy, her rationality left her when she found out that someone was trying to hurt her children.The fear of loss—the fear of her children being hurt—had seized her.Moreover, Whitney had found out that she and Isaac were married, and must have presumed that the children were Isaac's.Was that why Whitney had tried to hurt them? Her nerves getting the better of herself, Irene forgot that Zachary was with her as she lifted her shirt.At the same time, Zachary saw Isaac's murderous gaze. He gestured for Irene to get off as he quickly explained, "I saw nothing."Once that was done, he quickly drove off, fearful that Isaac's wrath would catch him.Be that as i

Irene raised her chin defiantly because she must. "No," she retorted. Giving in, Isaac explained, "There's nothing between us, but I have to offer her special privileges after certain things happened—that's all."It was outrageous that he would explain himself to anyone, but ever since he learned that Whitney had a boyfriend, he felt nothing for her ever again.The night they shared? The tender moment? All those sentiment, gone!All he felt for her now was tolerance, just because she had saved him that night. Feelings had nothing to do with it! At the same time, Irene's eyes widened as if she had discovered some incredible secret.So he was just being nice because he owed her—there was no sentiment involved.She grinned, a marvelous idea occurring to her just then.Isaac frowned. "What are you smiling at?""Nothing," she replied, but her tone was gentle like never before, which left Isaac beside himself in shock!He looked at her, puzzled and wondering why she was acting

Irene came to her senses then, and quickly composed herself with a smile. "Nothing."Whitney just happened to arrive since it was work hours, and Irene reached for the door when she saw Whitney.However, Isaac caught her hand and said, "If you want to put up an act, you need to be thorough."Irene stared blankly at him, blinking her clear, crystalline gaze as Isaac leaned toward her.She withdrew by instinct, but Isaac put a hand around her waist and pulled her to him, smiling gorgeously as he said, "We're married, so we should act like that."Irene gulped, her cheeks turning warm as she met his playful gaze. She was left staring at his thick brows, and suddenly found her eyes as bright as the stars in the night sky. "Kiss me."Both Irene and Stan were speechless, and the air in the car seemed to turn still just then!"Whitney is right there," Isaac prompted Irene then. "Don't you want to make her jealous?"Irene pursed her lips, but steeled herself and reached out to wrap he
The Runaway Groom Chapter 39
Irene had hit Whitney so hard that her palm was numb, and her eyes were filled with fury. "You're a doctor. You know that an amniocentesis to a mother in early pregnancy will cause a miscarriage. A slap is a lot less than what you deserve!"She would not be this merciful if anything were to happen to her twins!On the other hand, Whitney had never ever suffered such indignation and humiliation—her eyes went red as she snarled, "Irene Spencer!"However, she had barely raised her hand when someone caught her wrist, and she turned to find Zachary watching her."W-What are you doing here?" she stammered.Zachary shoved her aside. "Did you think you could do anything you want if I'm not around?""She hit me first!" Whitney cried, pointing at Irene. "Can't you see my face?"It turns out that Zachary had seen Irene do it, but he had also heard their entire conversation. "You were trying to hurt her baby, weren't you?"Whitney could not say anything to that, and turned furiously to gla

"I want to talk to you," Whitney told Isaac.She was brimming with confidence, because she knew that she would inevitably come up on top!Isaac gave her a cold look, but asked, "Need more money? How much is it this time?""No, it's not about money. I'm pregnant with your child," Whitney said, and took out an ultrasound sonogram—which she got after she performed the amniocentesis on Irene.Naturally, she wrote down her own name instead of Irene's.In the end, she did not want to test if the child was Isaac's with the amniocentesis—she needed evidence to trick Isaac!Isaac, however, did not take the sonogram. He simply glanced at it, and while he saw that the date was a match, he was not about to believe Whitney so easily!"I know you won't believe me," Whitney said then, and took out the cell samples she had extracted from the amniocentesis, which she had kept frozen and well-preserved. She was certainly well-prepared."These are cell samples from the amniocentesis I took. You
The Runaway Groom Chapter 41
The atmosphere in the car was suffocating! Once they returned to the mansion, Isaac headed upstairs and asked casually, "Is she asleep?"Mrs. Watson answered softly, "Mrs. Jefferson hasn't returned yet."Isaac stopped in his tracks and checked his watch. It was already 9 PM, long past her work hours—where could she have gone?There really was not a dull moment with her, and it always got him unnerved!He abruptly turned and stormed out of the mansion angrily!…Meanwhile, Irene had actually been taken elsewhere by her taxi driver when she left work.It was only when they arrived that she realized Harvey Gooding had paid off the driver—she had been abducted to Harvey's personal residence!There, he had his men tie Irene up and throw her unceremoniously on bed.Sitting on a chair beside the bed while twirling a glass of red wine, he watched admiringly as Irene struggled against her restraints. "Let's see how you're going to run this time." He grinned.Irene glared at him. "
