The Runaway Groom Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Zachary had come hitching a ride from Isaac to meet up with Irene.

When he saw that it was Whitney coming instead, he alighted. “I‘m leaving.”

After he left, Whitney got in and sat opposite Isaac, feeling insecure since she realized that Isaac had mistaken her for someone else.
