The Runaway Groom

Chapter 646

Isaac pulled her into his arms right then, holding her chin in place 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.
