The Runaway Groom

Chapter 77 

Pursing her lips, Irene eventually said, “I‘m pregnant.”

Sheryl did a double take, and it took her a while to regain her senses.

“You‘re pregnant?” she exclaimed in slight disbelief.

Irene nodded.

“Is the child Isaac‘s?” Sheryl asked to her knowledge, her daughter had never been involved in any relationship, something which Lionel was particularly strict about.

Irene herself also always maintained firm mortal integrity. The only man she came in close proximity with was Isaac, so he was the only person Sheryl could think of.

On the other hand, Irene did not know how she should explain everything that had happened, and could not bear to tell her mother the truth.

What would her mother think, if she said that she had no idea who the father was?

Since Sheryl believes that the child was Isaac‘s, so be it–that was at least a better option than saying she had no idea.

“Yeah,” she said, even though she hung her head and avoided Sheryl‘s gaze because she was lying. Sheryl kept putting more food on her table and asked in concern, “Eat more since you‘re pregnant. Are you suffering from morning sickness? How far along are you?”

Irene looked up then. “Are you saying that I should go through with this?”
