The Runaway Groom

Chapter 116

“L-Let go…” Irene whispered even as she struggled.

Isaac did not, however, and held her soft hand in his palm as he leaned in to kiss her lips.

Irene would have usually resisted, but she was weirdly silent and did not push him away this time.

In fact, she closed her eyes, quietly feeling the breath of another person and her heart racing as a result!

His kiss was passionate, endless and enrapturing. One could not help being captivated by it’

Since it was the first time she was being so docile, Isaac wanted more than kisses, and began to reach deeper to conquer her.

His fingertips brushed past her collarbone, loosening her collar and sliding off her straps. Irene finally regained her senses from his dizzying kiss when she felt the sudden coldness. over her chest, and realizing what he was doing, evaded him in panic “Stop!”

Isaac’s gaze appeared clouded “You enjoyed that too, didn’t you?”

“No, I didn’t.” Irene denied it.

“Really?” Isaac brushed a finger over her lips that was moist, perhaps because of him.

“Get out,” Irene snapped, unable to look anywhere and seemingly embarrassed by her own actions.

How could she kiss him so willingly?! She hated herself for that!

She bit her lip, and blamed him for everything right then. “Don’t come near me or try to bewitch me ever again.”

She felt as if she was not herself because of his advances.

Isaac simply smiled at him, and Irene inadvertently glanced at him, almost falling for the most gentle and adoring smile in the world just then.

She quickly averted her eyes, thinking to herself that the man was constantly using his beauty on her!

That was when someone knocked on the door, and Mrs. Watson soon called out, “Sir, there’s someone downstairs, asking for Mrs. Jefferson.”

“Who is it?” Isaac asked. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“He is saying that he is her younger brother…”

Irene frowned. “Ricky Spencer?”

She remembered that Ricky was involved in that hit-and-run and was subsequently convicted. Still, Lionel was calling in favors from everywhere, and since the accident was not at all serious, he was freed after just two months.

“Do you want to see him?” Isaac asked. “I’ll send him away if you don’t.”

“No.” Irene replied-she never spoke much and held no sentiment for her stepbrother.

Moreover, her spite toward Samantha extended to the boy as well, giving her even less of a reason to meet him.

“Send him away.” Isaac spoke at the general direction of the door then.

“Yes, Mr. Jefferson,” Mrs. Watson replied, and they heard her heading downstairs.

That was when Irene suddenly remembered that Lionel’s face had been yellowish and he had been losing weight drastically. She did not know what had happened, but it was obvious that he was very sick!

Although she hated him for using her like a tool and cheating on her mother, she was still worried at the thought that he was sick

Blood certainly runs thicker than water.

Isaac could see the worry on her face. “I’ll have someone bring him in if you want to see him.

Irene shook her head, because Ricky was not her concern. “No.”

That was when Mrs. Watson returned and spoke from outside the door again, “Sir, he refused to leave and rushed inside although the men threw him out. He insists that he will stay until he gets to meet Mrs. Jefferson.”

Isaac opened the door then. “It’s fine. I’ll handle this.”

Irene suddenly called out to him. “I think I’ll meet him this time.”

She wanted to find out what Ricky wanted anyway.

As she tried to stand, Isaac walked over to her and held her up by the waist.

She felt uncomfortable with his touch, but put a hand on his shoulder anyway.

Once they arrived downstairs, Ricky was soon brought to them. “Sis.”
