The Runaway Groom Chapter 263
Episode 263
When Irene returned to the house at Rose Garden, she
washed her hands before going to Tommy. She was surprised to find someone carrying her baby.
“Mrs. Watson?” she eximed.
Mrs. Watson smiled. “Mr. Jefferson sent me. He said
there must be someone caring for Tommy at all times.”
Isaac certainly wouldn’t befortable with asking a stranger’s help, and hence sent Mrs. Watson.
Irene was pleased that it was Mrs. Watson, since the
“I’m so relieved to have you here!” Irene smiled.
Mrs. Watson then passed Tommy to Irene. The baby was
wide awake, but suddenly started to frown.
Knowing that he had just pooped, Irene pinched his
button nose. “Made a stinky, did we?”
“I’ll get him changed,” Mrs. Watson offered.
“No, I’ll do it,” Irene insisted–in her mind, she owed her
own son much for being unable to care for him before.
Now that she had all the time to do it, she certainly would.
“Very well. I’ll get a bucket.”
“Okay,” Irene replied. Shey Tommy down, taking off his diaper and throwing it away, before getting
some wet wipes to clean his backside.
“Is Isaac out?” she asked casually.
Mrs. Watson nodded. “Yes, he left after receiving a call.”
“I see,” Irene replied as she continued to clean Tommy, who appeared perfectlyfortable now and
not at all interested in sleeping.
He could sit up now, so Irene sat down on the couch and yed with him, amusing him with a toy.
Mrs. Watson suddenly said, “Mrs. Jefferson, I must give it to you – you were staying at the mansion
with us for so long, but I’ve never known that you were pregnant.”
Mrs. Watson was stunned when she first saw Tommy, and left speechless to learn that he was actually
Irene’s son!
Irene smiled but stayed silent, since the matter was quiteplicated.
“I’m just so happy,” Mrs. Watson then added. “I’ve never seen Mr. Jefferson so gentle.”
She was certainly dumbfounded when she came over and saw Isaac holding Tommy in his arms!
He had always been lofty and aloof, but he carried the baby so carefully that she thought she was
imagining things.
Naturally, she knew that he changed because of Irene. In the years she worked for him, he was slowly
bing a new person ever since Irene came to his life.
Irene kept ying with Tommy, and said offhandedly, He’s just a little cold and empathetic.”
Mrs. Watson shook her head. “Not really, ma’am. Mr. Jefferson simplycked familial warmth because
he lost his parents as a child. He may seem aloof, but he actually has a lot of empathy.”
Sighing, Mrs. Watson continued, “You’ve heard recent developments, haven’t you? His grandfather
wants him
to step down as CEO so his uncle could take over. He
respected his grandfather all this while, only for his only family to betray him too.”
Irene knew that Isaac was having trouble with the
Jeffesons, but not that much.
Mrs. Watson’s words made her realize that she didn’t care
or understood Isaac enough.

“Well, you’ll get along just fine with Mr. Jefferson now that you have a child together.” Mrs. Watson
smiled.
In the end, Isaac was just aloof in appearance–he wasn’t heartless, but he had to stay distant because
of his
environment.
Irene nodded. “I know.”
“I’ll wash Tommy’s clothes now,” Mrs. Watson said. She
left, while Irene was pensive.
She could feel Isaac’s yearning for kinship for quite some time, and she realized that she wasn’t
showing enough
concern.
The clock on the wall kept ticking, and soon, it was already 1 a.m.
Isaac hadn’t returned, while Tommy was fast asleep.
Irene, who had been waiting for Isaac, was feeling a little drowsy as well. But just as she closed her
eyes, the door clicked and opened.
Sitting up and turning towards the door, she called out, Isaac?”
