The Runaway Groom

Chapter 338

Irene did not really have an appetite in the first place, and even less so after learning hints about Isaac’s past.

As a child, Irene herself had been constantly pushed around by Lionel. She could not do everything as she wanted, and life was less than happy.

Considering that, and the fact that Isaac himself was almost killed too, she could imagine how harsh life had been for him and could not help sympathizing.

James perceived her mood right then, and said, “Well, we’re going to return the favor soon.”
