The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 899

Irene could clearly hear Isaac panting heavily as he turned and lay down beside her, pulling their blanket over her.

Irene did not move—she needed time to calm herself down.

It was a while before she did, and she had always been the cool-headed one.

Isaac, however, did not share her temperament. He got out of bed, growling, "I need a cold shower."

"That's bad," she said, getting up to put on her clothes.

Then, pouring him a glass of cold water, she said, "Here. Drink."

Isaac stared at Irene for a while before taking it and having a couple of sips.

"Can't sleep?" Irene then asked.

"Yeah, so?" Isaac asked.

"We still have time," she replied. "Let's go catch a movie with Tommy."

Isaac was not going to fall asleep anytime soon, and that went for her as well.

"Okay," Isaac said, and both of them got up, dressed up casually, and headed downstairs to Tommy.

Their son was just about to go to bed and he blinked in confusion. "Mommy, weren't you sleeping?"

"Daddy and I will take you to the cinema," Irene said as she helped Tommy get dressed. "Do you want to go?"

Tommy nodded repeatedly.

"Yeah," Tommy exclaimed, his eyes narrowing with his smile. "I'm happy going out with Mommy and Daddy."

Irene gave him a peck on his little cheek. "Mommy will have plenty of time to spend with you from now on."

Tommy blinked, his thick little brows fluttering as he grinned, revealing rows of tiny white teeth.

He happily hugged Irene's neck and gave her a kiss on the cheek, and her heart could melt right then.

Hugging Tommy back, she said, "I'll buy tasty food later."

Her motherly love was overflowing, and all she wanted was to give him the best of everything.

She led him out of the mansion and got into Isaac's car.

Since Isaac was driving, Irene swiped through movies that were showing at the moment.

There were a couple that caught her eye, though she picked the cartoon for Tommy's sake.

After they returned home, Irene carried Tommy up to their bed, putting him between her and Isaac.

However, Isaac was still tossing and turning by midnight, so he got up and walked around the bed to lie down on Irene's side of the bed.

"No…" she groaned.

"I know," Isaac said, laying on his side and wrapping his arms around her. "I just wanted to hold you."

Martin York was watching Lulu Adams as she stared into thin air. "What's wrong?"

Coming to her senses right then, Lulu shook her head. "Nothing."

"There's something on your mind." Martin, however, was sharp.

It had also been two days since he noticed that she had been getting distracted.

"You can tell me, whatever it is," he said, putting his arms gently over her shoulder. "You're due soon, so you shouldn't be so gloomy. You should tell me, so I can help you with it too."

Lulu looked up at him just then, hesitating for a while before saying, "I know Ricky Spencer."
