The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 1062

Zachary was chuckling but he did not appear embarrassed.

Irene, however, was not humoring him. "Why were you following me?"

"How was I following you?" Zachary argued. "You don't own this road. I can use it just like you."

"Weren't you going sightseeing with Jean? What are you doing here? You took one of the cars too."

"We did. We just didn't go that far."

Irene was left speechless and asked grumpily, "So? What do you want?"

"Nothing," Zachary said. "Just taking a stroll, killing time."

Irene ignored that and strode off to try to shake him off.

Zachary, however, clung to her like a wad of gum. "It's dangerous going alone. Why don't I come with you?"

"Nope." Irene refused right then. "Keep following me, and I'll tell Isaac you're bothering me."

Zachary pouted. "Don't we go way back?"

Irene laughed coolly. "You're affecting my mood by following me around. Or should I thank you for that?"

"By the way, why are you alone? Where's Isaac? I mean, is he really working now that you're back? Really, I wonder what's more important to him—money or love?" Zachary tried to provoke her just then.

Irene was not about to get upset with that. "He's just busy with work. How does that affect our love?"

Zachary was left speechless—to be fair, he was asking for it.

He turned and strode off. "Fine, I won't follow you anymore. Just leave!"

Irene knew he was following her because he failed to make her talk last night. "You thought I brought Lulu back with me, didn't you?"

Zachary looked at her in silence, which was basically a silent admission.

In fact, that was exactly why he followed her.
