The Runaway Groom

Chapter 130

Furious, Irene knocked Isaac’s hand away

They had already planned to get a room, and he was still pretending as if he cared about her? Right in front of his lover?

His talent was wasted as CEO. He should be an actor instead!

“You’re a liar!” she snapped, and started to run upstairs.

However, her foot might have been still too stiff, or she was moving too quickly, or perhaps. she was simply too distracted… she almost tripped on the stairs, but caught the scaffolding in time so that she did not actually fall

That left her even more frustrated. Forget making a fool of herself in front of Isaac she was doing it in front of his lover too!

“Stupid mansion!” she snapped grumpily. “They can’t even get the design right when they

built it!”

Isaac stared at her and said, “If you say so. Let’s demolish this place and build it in a design you prefer.”

*Irene wheeled on him and shot him a glare

See? He was flirting with her again!

“Why do you care? Go to the hotel already!” Irene huffed as she rushed upstairs.

Isaac was actually happy to see Irene upset.

Did that mean she was jealous, and cared about him?

Delight showed on his face at the very thought, and his tone was a lot less cold.

Turning to Kathy, he asked, “Stan told you to do this?”

Kathy spaced out for a moment. Realizing that Isaac was talking to her, she quickly said, “Yes, Mr. Jefferson.”

In reality, Stan did not-he had only told her to show up at the mansion using the documents as an excuse, so that Irene saw her again.

Kathy, however, intended for them to split up!

“Got it. You may go now,” Isaac said, once again distant as he asked Mrs. Watson to escort her

put.

Still, Kathy was not in a rush to succeed, and politely left with Mrs. Watson.

Isaac then called Stan and called him to the mansion.

While Stan’s plan did help, he had done it without Isaac’s permission and almost messed up everything!

And that was unacceptable!

After finishing his call, he headed upstairs.

Irene was in her room, having hidden herself under her blanket.

Her head was much clearer now. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

She got agitated just now, did she not?

What was Isaac going to think of her now?

Argh! How could she have done something so embarrassing? It was killing her!

If only she had a hole to hide in!

Even if she was really upset, she should never have shown it to Isaac.

He must now be laughing at how silly she was!

That was when Isaac opened the door, and found her lying sprawled in bed looking utterly vexed.

He grinned. To think that she had this adorable side to her….

Though he tiptoed inside, Irene sensed a presence and promptly sat up.

Seeing that it was him, she dissed, “Why are you in my room? Shouldn’t you be in a hotel room?”

Isaac simply stared at her calmly, completely unaffected.

His stare somehow left her bristling and bad-tempered, and she snapped, “I’m not falling for it again! Don’t bother putting the moves on me!”

“Are you upset?” He smiled.

Irene snorted. “Upset? What’s there to be upset about? I’d rather you mess around with more

Women

“Can you be honest for once?” Isaac interrupted.

Irene was not about to let up, and she certainly would not admit her feelings. “What, am I not honest enough? I’m just telling it as it is! All I want is a di-”

Isaac suddenly lunged toward her, held the back of her head, and kissed her lips to stop her mid- sentence.

He refused to hear the word ‘divorce”!

Nonetheless, Irene repeatedly punched him on the chest and shoulder, and clawed at him when that failed. “Umph… Let… Me… Go!!!”

“Irene.” Isaac grabbed both her hands and looked her straight in the eyes with a serious gaze. I’m not involved with other women.”

“You’re a liar-”

“I’m not. Stan Hill arranged for that lady to come just now. It was his idea to have you see me with other women, and he said that you have feelings for me if you end up jealous.”

Brushing his finger over the back of her hand, Isaac then added softly, “Did you know how happy I was to see that you were jealous?”

Irene bit her lip.

Did that mean she had fallen for his ruse?

She hung her head-that was even more embarrassing than before!

Nonetheless, Isaac held her chin and made her look up at him. “Stop asking for a divorce. Can’t we just stay like this?”

As Irene looked into his eyes, she understood that her feelings were now under his control.

Because she was in love with him.

“I…” she murmured, her voice turning hoarse instantly while her eyes welled with tears.
