The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 847

Isaac was at once speechless, helpless, and amused. "You're really not taking anything lying down, huh?"

Irene smiled. "I got that from you. Didn't you hear Zachary? I'm taking after you."

"Fine." Isaac gave in, tugging at the hem of her blouse. "I am jealous."

Irene sat down then, while he brushed her sidelocks with his clean, strong fingers.

"Stay home over the next few days, Irene," he said in his deep voice solemnly.

Irene turned toward him. "Are you worried that Neil Turner would try to hurt me again? I have to show up at court if he maintains his lawsuit, not to mention that our priority right now is to find out what killed Dennis."

"I'll get a forensic doctor—"

"I've already asked Lulu." Irene cut him short.

Isaac stared calmly at her for several heartbeats. "She agreed to it?"

Irene nodded. "Yeah."

Isaac thought about it, and he then said, "Alright, let's go with that. The cause of death is priority."

They would come up with solutions afterwards, although Isaac had every intention to keep throwing money at Neil until he was satisfied.

But since Irene had a plan, he could go with hers for now.

Irene got to her feet just then. "I have to clean a guest room for Lulu when she comes over."

"Mrs. Watson can do it," Isaac told her.

Irene shook her head. "Mrs. Watson is cooking dinner. I can do it—oh, and spend some time with Tommy and our baby. It's rare for you to come home early."

"Okay," Isaac said softly.

Later in the evening, Irene got a call from Lulu, saying, "I'm around twenty minutes out."

"I was just about to head out," Irene replied.

In fact, she had been ready all this while—she left the hilltop mansion once she got Lulu's call, and she had Eagle drive her to the train station.

She waited at the exit when she arrived, and Lulu was stepping out within minutes in a petaled dress and a pale jacket.

However, it did not hide her bulging stomach.
