The Runaway Groom Chapter 879

As James was forced to play with them, Tommy shouted from up front, “Uncle James, I’m over here! Come and get me!”

At the same time, Erin called from behind, “I’m here!”

“Don’t move, both of you! I’m coming!”

“Over here, over here!” Tommy waved excitedly at him.

Meanwhile Isaac entered the house to find Irene washing some food ingredients.

“You left work early?” he asked.

Irene turned, and seeing that it was him, she said, “I could say the same about you.”

“I’ve already made soup. A few more dishes and I’ll be done,” she said. “How about we eat out tomorrow instead? Just stay home for the day.”

Most of the ingredients were washed and ready to be cooked—they would go bad if left around.

“Also, you should call us ahead of time if you’re taking us out to eat,” Irene pointed out just then.
