The Runaway Groom

Chapter 36

On the other hand, Irene remembered Whitney’s relationship with Isaac, and did not react well to Isaac’s presence-not after what Whitney had done to her. “I can do whatever I want. Why do you care?”

She was utterly panicked just moments ago. Even though she had every intention to get an abortion after learning about her pregnancy, her rationality left her when she found out that someone was trying to hurt her children.

At the same time, Zachary saw Isaac’s murderous gaze. He gestured for Irene to get off as he quickly explained, “I saw nothing.” Once that was done, he quickly drove off, fearful that Isaac’s wrath would catch him.

Did you forget everything I said?!” His hold was firm, almost dislocating her jaw, but she sharply shot back, “I do remember, but I won’t play along. Why are you demanding that I act like a wife, when you aren’t doing the same?”
