    The Runaway Groom Chapter 846


    Irene was confused. “Why is he being petty?”


    She turned to Isaac with a look as if to ask: what are you being petty about?


    Zachary then exined, “He doesn’t like me calling you ‘Irene’. I mean, we both go way back, and I’ve


    always been calling you ‘Irene’. But he’s so petty he forbade me from doing it—please reason with him


    if you have the time to do so.”


    Irene was utterly speechless.


    These two grown men could not have been more childish!


    Meanwhile, Zachary appeared gleeful. “Don’t you think he’s petty, just like a child?”


    Irene stared at him then. “There’s something I’ve been keeping from you, Zachary.”


    Zachary was still smiling. “What is it?”


    “Lulu got married,” Irene replied.


    Zachary’s smile stiffened even before she was finished, and it was hrious to see it left freezing on his


    face.


    Naturally, it was Isaac’s turn to tease him. “You shouldn’t be petty. She’s married already, right?”


    Zachary said nothing, but sprang to his feet in disbelief, staring at Irene as he snapped, “You’re really


    taking after him, aren’t you? It’s like you won’t suffer being on the backfoot. Did you have to lie like that


    to upset me?”


    “I’m not lying,” Irene replied seriously. “It’s true.”


    She certainly thought things through before she told him about Lulu’s marriage—she was hoping he


    would get over her and find someone better instead of continuing to wait.


    As Zachary continued to stare at her, he saw that she did not flinch, just as her determined gaze told


    her that she was serious and not joking around.


    Even so, he still had a hard time taking in the news.


    He wanted to appear understanding, but he could not even smile.


    Dropping back on the couch, heughed self-deprecatingly. “I thought I’d be a winner with Ricky


    Spencer gone. It turns out that I’m still a loser.”


    Irene said, “Be more open-minded about this.”


    Zacharyughed coolly. “Would you be, if Isaac had another woman?”


    Irene was speechless—she was ying nice, and he snapped at her anyway?


    Locking arms with Isaac as she watched Zachary, she asked, “Do you know why I’m telling you this


    now?”


    Zachary returned her gaze. “Because I was calling Isaac petty? That’s why you’re deliberately


    upsetting me?”


    Irene nodded. “You’re so smart.”


    Zacahry was speechless for a moment, and heughed despite himself. “You… You two are really


    Bonnie and Clyde! Criminals, both of you!”N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    Irene shrugged. “Just don’t mock my man. I couldn’t be happier if he’s jealous over me.”


    “I quit,” Zachary snapped, knowing that he would have to suffer more disys of affection if he stayed.


    As he got up and left, Irene asked, “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”


    Zachary waved her off. “You shouldn’t keep unting your affection, you know—that’s a death g.”


    “I know,” she replied.


    She was going to withdraw her hands after Zachary left, but Isaac stopped her. “Stay.”


    “We’re home,” Irene said quietly.


    Isaac lifted her chin. “I like it when you snap at people.”


    Irene blinked, her curved gaze flickering like a crystalline surface. “Were you jealous of Zachary? Was


    that why you forbade him from calling me Irene?”


    “Are you kidding? Me, jealous? That’s the behavior of men whock confidence,” Isaac said,


    straightening his back, puffing his chiseled figure with pride.


    Irene was speechless.


    As she rose to her feet, he asked, “Where are you going?”


    “Going on a date with another man,” she smiled faintly. “You won’t get jealous, after all.”
