The Runaway Groom
Irene felt spirited right then. Could it be a phone call from Isaac?
’Hello?”
However, it turned out to be Sheryl. “Irene, did you leave in the middle of the night?”
’Yeah,” Irene murmured quietly, doing her best to hide her disappointment.
“Why’d you have to leave? How could you still be so unruly? Don’t you understand the state you’re in?”
Sheryl rebuked her right then.
Irene smiled and tried to assure her mother, saying, “I know. It won’t happen again.”
‘You always say that, but you never actually do it.”
It was not as if Sheryl wanted to scold her, but Irene really did make her worry all the time.
Irene naturally had to change the subject. “Mom, did something happen? Was that why you called
me?”
“Yeah. Will you be home soon?”
’Yeah.”
‘Well, you will find out when you get home.”
“Okay,” Irene replied, and hung up.
Holding her phone and hesitating for a moment, she called Isaac’s number again.
Meanwhile, in Franconia…
Remy’s headquarters was grander than the office buildings in Zidonia.
Though the CEO’s office here was furnished in Franconian style, it still had a staid air to it.
Isaac had actually come because he was upset at Irene and he needed time to calm himself.
He actually had work to do here, too-stacks of documents and folders were sitting on his huge desk.
Stan Hill stood nearby, grumbling, “James Cross doesn’t want to come back at all, huh?”
As he spoke, he was watching Isaac as well-the man had transferred him here, but did not transfer him
back at all.
Still, Isaac saw through him the instant he spoke and gave him a cool look. “James is much more
reliable than you are. You should stay here instead!’
Bzzt-
While Stan was left speechless, Isaac’s phone started to buzz on his desk.
Isaac looked up at the screen, his gaze lingering on it.
He missed her, and he could not ignore her even if he was upset with her.
Still, he stayed aloof despite answering and restrained his voice. “What is it?”
Irene could not wait to talk to him, but she was hesitant to speak.
“Isaac?” she eventually murmured, pursing her lips. “It’s nothing… You didn’t tell me that you were
leaving.”
While Isaac remained silent, she hung her head and asked, “Are you upset with me?”
“No,” Isaac coolly replied.
Irene pursed her lips.
She knew that he was upset, but she asked anyway, “Do you miss me?”
Isaac was speechless, but he would never admit it because of his pride. ‘I just left.”
Irene smiled. “Well, absence makes the heart fonder, right? Isn’t that how it goes?”
Isaac’s fingers clenched on his phone and he leaned against his chair, staring nonchalantly at the
scenery outside. “Do you miss me?”
‘I do,” Irene replied.
Isaac’s heart softened right then and all the grumpiness he felt was halved.
“Yeah.” There was a lightness in his voice now as well.
“When are you coming back?” Irene pressed.
“Well, work is going to take a few days…”
Irene giggled and teased him. “I thought it would be half a month.”
Isaac laughed despite himself. “You knew, huh?”
The car reached the hilltop mansion just then and Irene got out once it stopped. “Come home once
you’re done. I miss you.”
Isaac wanted to fly home when he heard those words, but he could only reply quietly, “Yeah.”
“I’ll hang up now?”
“Yeah.”
Irene put away her phone after hanging up and she entered the mansion to a shocking scene in the
living room!
“Mom, what is going on here?”
