    The Runaway Groom Chapter 946


    Isaac remained unaffected-even as calm as a pond.


    His angr fingers curled up, hooking Irene’s hair, and twirled repeatedly. ’ What do you think we


    should name our youngest?”


    Irene turned to look at him, not sure what he was thinking just then and unable to even guess it.


    He grinned. “What’s that look for? Well, I do look good.”


    Irene did not continue about Henry just then, since it appeared that Isaac really did not want to talk


    about him.


    Making a straight face, she said, “No, you don’t. In fact, you’re hideous.”


    Isaac pulled her into his arms right then, holding her chin in ce to make her look at him. “Speak from


    your conscience.”


    “I am,” Irene replied with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.


    Isaac leaned closer then. “Fine. Tell me, what makes me ugly?”


    She held Isaac’s gaze just then, her pupils darting everywhere and glinting luminously.


    Everything from his chiseled face, to his dark eyes and sharp nose, all made him attractive.


    “Your face, your eyes…” She tried to lie regardless, but even she could not stop herself fromughing


    out of embarrassment soon enough.


    Isaac kept his arms around her. “You don’t have to be involved in this one. I’ll handle it.”


    Irene studied him then. “I’m just worried about you-l mean, we’re the victims, and we wouldn’t have to


    retaliate if Ian didn’t do what he did. Also, you can enforce a press gag, right?”


    Isaac, however, appeared nonchnt about that. “They can say anything they like.”


    Irene straightened herself right then and studied him seriously. “Why would you want to be


    misunderstood? It’s not your fault.”


    Seeing him being med upset her, and she did not want to see that.


    Even so, Isaac simply smiled. “What are you getting agitated about?”


    “I mean, my heart aches for you-”


    Realizing that she was being too direct, she pouted in embarrassment. “If you don’t keep things in


    check, things will escte until the point of no return. I mean, you’re not worried since you’re in the


    right, but words hurt.”


    Isaac’s heart sang and his grin broadened.


    He liked her like that.


    “I’ll have someone see to it,” he said dotingly.


    “Other sessful businessmen care a lot about their reputation,” Irene said. “That’s why they involve


    themselves in charity for brownie points- you, on the other hand, allow yourself to be ndered.”


    “I get it.” Isaac gathered her in his arms.


    Even so, he did not enjoy doing pointless stuff.


    Irene was right. Many who involved themselves in charity would gain a good reputation, but they paid


    their workers peanuts and readily sacrificed others for their selfish motives.


    The system for charity was not as simple as it looks either, as donations meant tax rebates.


    That is why Isaac believed that a good enterprise should be able to rake in billions while taking care of


    their employees’ profits and benefits.


    ‘Why would you, a doctor, know about that?”


    “I’m just concerned.”


    Isaac gazed at her with his dark eyes, and he said with his quiet, deep voice, “I know.”


    That she cared about him, and it made him happy.


    Bzzt-


    Irene’s phone started to ring, and she whipped it out to answer.


    It was Ricky.


    ‘Hey, I’m getting discharged.”


    “Oh. Do you have a ce to stay? Do you need me to arrange one for you?’


    ’It’s fine. I have something arranged-I just wanted to ask you your stuff. I mean, I’ve kept some of your


    belongings before I sold Spencer Mansion. Do you still want it, or can I throw it away?”


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Irene had actually thought that he sold everything in Spencer Mansion, and she was surprised that


    Ricky kept anything.


    She remembered some of her favorite books before attending school, and she said, “I’lle to get it.”


    ‘What is it?” Isaac asked.


    “Ricky kept some of my old belongings and he just got discharged. I’ll get it back and see if there’s


    anything useful.”


    Isaac said, “James can get it for you.”


    They had already returned to the hilltop mansion, so Irene nodded. “Fine.”


    With that, James was sent to get Irene’s old belongings, while they returned to the mansion.


    However, someone bumped into Isaac the instant he set foot inside, and he glowered when he saw the


    unexpected visitor!
