The Runaway Groom Chapter 196


    Chapter 196


    Henry was already feeling ill and irritable, but he still had tofort Kathy as she continued her crying


    fit.


    That alone made Henry think less of her than Irene.


    Women could be delicate and their vulnerability might tug at the heartstrings of men, being exceedingly


    spoiled would get on anyone’s nerves.


    but


    Henry was already feeling irritable, and he certainly did not have the patience tofort someone else!


    “You told me you wanted me to get together with Isaac, right?” Kathy sobbed.


    Henry kept his patience as he told her, “Sit.”


    At the same time, Moneypenny reminded her, “Say what you have to, but no one would understand you


    if you cry louder than you speak.”


    Kathy nced between him and Henry just then. Even though Henry was not visibly angry, he was a lot


    less mild than usual. She was naturally smart enough to notice Moneypenny’s kindness, and quickly


    stopped sobbing.


    Having ensured that she was calm, she said, “Did you know? Isaac transferred me from the


    headquarters to a branch office! I won’t be able to see him, let alone get him to warm up to me


    Henry was not actually surprised–that was Isaac’s style.


    He then remembered that he had basically pushed Irene to Isaac as well, but she had nevere to


    him bawling like Kathy. In fact, she had neverined to Henry about any grievance she suffered,


    nor shed a tear even when Isaac made her bleed right here in this manor!


    He would never have been able to tell if he neverpared them, but once he did, it became apparent


    to him that Kathy was a far cry from Irene!


    Even if most men would agree that a woman with looks and a caring side was good enough, Isaac


    covered so many bases that he did not need someone that extraordinary–but a crybaby certainly would


    not do!


    Henry actually felt awkward just then.


    He was the one who had proposed the match in the first ce, and if he reneged now, he would have


    broken a promise to both Cedric and Kathy.


    And if she held a grudge…


    What a dilemma!


    Moneypenny could tell what he was thinking, and hence thought of an idea.


    “Ms. York, Master Jefferson has already assisted you plenty, even making you Master Isaac’s savior.


    You should be using it to your advantage—what do you think Master Jefferson can do even if you came


    crying to him? Tie Master Isaac to your bed?”


    Kathy flushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.


    At the same time, Henry nced at Moneypenny–his wordscked tact, but Henry did not


    refute it.


    After all, it was almost reasonable: Kathy should being up with ideas of her own to make Isaac fall


    for her.


    How much could Henry help, when Isaac was already upset with him?


    “How can I help?” he asked just then.


    Kathy certainly had no idea because even drugs failed to work on Isaac. What else could he do?


    Her womanly wiles? That would only work if they spent time together, so that he noticed her virtue!


    “Could you stop Isaac from transferring me to the branch office? He’ll definitely fall for me if I stay with


    him.”


    Kathy believed that she had the looks–and while it was no lie, she also believed that Isaac would fall for


    her as long as she could stay around him!


    “I don’t think I can help you,” Henry said earnestly. “You should be using your own advantage to the


    fullest.”


    Kathy was puzzled and mistakenly believed that he was talking about her looks. “But he’s not much of


    a gentleman-”


    Henry frowned even before she finished–she was a little stupid, was she not?


    Moneypenny had already told her outright, but she still could not get it.


    “Isaac values sentiment. You are now the person who ‘saved‘ him, aren’t you? Learn to use that.”

    Kathy vaguely understood, but said, “He already chased me off… How do I use that? He clearly


    doesn’t care about me, even though I’m supposed to be his savior.”


    Henry suddenly felt that speaking with her was tiring! He decided right then to just flip a coin, and that


    the position of Isaac’s wife is up for grabs to anyone, as long as they had what it took!


    ?”?


    may have suggested setting you up with him, but you must have been interested in him in the first


    ce to agree to it, right?”


    He was just too old to care!
