The Runaway Groom By Hauling Treasures Chapter 431


    Chapter 431


    Irene turned to find a silhouette standing there, but she knew right away that it was him.


    She had felt no fear even as she confrontedn, but now that he was here, she became fearful that he


    had fallen victim ton’s devious nature.


    “Oh, he’s here. See?”nughed in delight–he was one–upping Isaac for once!


    Nheless, Isaac walked steadily withposure, not at all flustered despite present circumstances.


    There was a brief look of pain and worry in his eyes as he nced at Irene before he turned back


    towardn with an impassive look. “Here. What you asked for.”


    As the goon walked toward Isaac with apprehension,n said, “I knew it–you care about this woman,


    and are willing to give up Remy for her!”


    In reality,n had actually felt uncertain when he made the bet with Irene. After all, giving away Remy


    for one woman was outrageous.


    Naturally, he was now even more bent on holding Irene hostage–even though he had already put that


    explosive vest on her, he directed two more goons to hold her arms, stopping her from moving.


    “Care? I’m just doing this because she is the mother of my son, and I’d rather not be seen as


    heartless,” Isaac said without looking at Irene.


    After all, he was just pretending not to care.


    On the other hand, Irene became uneasy and spaced out.


    ‘I’m just doing this because she is the mother of my son‘ seemed to echo in her mind.


    He was just being nice because she was Tommy’s mother? Charity given to her for Tommy’s sake?


    Turning toward Isaac, she murmured, “Y–You never loved me at all?”


    Isaac’s fingers clenched when he saw that she was uneasy. “Does that matter? We have a son.”


    He was worried thatn would hurt her if he acted overly concerned about her, especially when she


    was strapped to explosives.


    Urgh-


    Irene’s face turned as white as a sheet, and she wanted to throw up right then.


    She had presumed that they loved each other, and that they were just a little estranged recently


    because of Yvaine’s death–that he actually cared, but needed time.


    Therefore, hearing him saying now that he only cared because of Tommy tore her heart.


    Would he be even nicer if she told him now that she was pregnant too? That they would have a second


    child?


    But the love she thought they had was just a joke!


    At the same time, Isaac’s phone vibrated in his hand. He did not check it, however, and merely kept


    1/2


    holding on to it and counting the number of times it was vibrating-three times were the agreed signal


    from James and Stan if they found Tommy and Sheryl, while once would mean that they had yet to


    reach them.


    And now, it vibrated three times before stopping.


    Isaac did not rx at all, however, because Irene was in grave danger. ncing at his own SUV


    without being noticed, he continued, “You have it now. Let her go.”


    “No, what I say goes around here.”nughed in disdain. “Do you see the explosives on her? One


    press on the trigger, and she’ll be blown into pieces. Did you really think I’d let her off that easily? When


    did you be so naive, Isaac Jefferson?”


    Walking up to Irene with his eyes still fixed on Isaac, he said, “You destroyed my family. I’m just


    repaying the favor.”


    Irene’s eyes then widened, her thick eyshes then dampened.


    She looked upon Isaac with fondness, a reluctance to part, and clear misery.


    Then, she murmured with a quiver in her voice. “Tommy is your son. You must save him, and take good


    care of him…”


    Isaac frowned and growled sternly, “What do you think you’re doing?!”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
