The Runaway Groom

Chapter 197

The more Henry tried to control Isaac, the more his grandson strayed away from him!

Still, Kathy was smart enough to hear the ominous meaning in Henry’s words. “What do you mean, Henry? Are you giving up on me?”

“I’m old now,” Henry sighed. “There’s a limit to how much I can help you. Whether you win Isaac’s heart depends entirely on yourself, so you would have to make him fall for you, so that he willingly spends the rest of his life with you. Am I supposed to keep helping you if you keep running to me whenever there’s an issue?”

Kathy bit her lip miserably, even as Henry continued, “Who knows? Your transfer might fall through if you had an accident or you got hurt on the way to the branch office. Try to buy time, and go on from there!”

Henry could not have made himself clearer–the rest was up to Kathy.

“I’m tired. You should go.”

Finally realizing that she had come at a bad time, Kathy said, “Oh! I must have disturbed you… I really came at a bad time. Please take care of your health, Henry. I promise to handle any problems on my own from now on.”

Henry waved her off. “Go.”

He made sure that Kathy left the manor and was out of earshot before he finally spoke, “Do you really think Isaac would be interested in her?‘

He certainly did no think so—she was too stupid!
