The Runaway Groom

Chapter 10

Everyone was actually puzzled– it was too much of a coincidence for both Isaac and Irene to suddenly have urgent business to attend to, right? Whitney sensed that something was amiss as well. Sure, she might really have been hearing things the first time, but what about now? Her gaze darted between Isaac and Irene, as if trying to see through them.

Deciding to test the waters, she asked, “What‘s the matter, Dr. Spencer?”

Irene really wanted nothing less than to tell Whitney that she was Isaac‘s wife, and leave the necessary explanations to Isaac.

Naturally, she would never dare, because he was a man she could not afford to provoke.

She had already lost the chance to work at Central Hospital-she could not afford to lose her job now.

As such, she had to keep her head down.

“It’s my grandfather. I think it‘s something serious, so I have to go... I‘m surprised that Mr. Jefferson is busy as well. What a coincidence, hahaha...”

She was chuckling dryly in an attempt to laugh it off, but Isaac stubbornly tried to expose her again. “What a coincidence , my grandfather called me too. Where does your grandfather live? I‘ll give you a lift if it‘s convenient.

Irene‘s smile almost faded right then. If it was not for her immense self–control, she would have picked up her cup from the table and smashed it in his face!

“Oh, you‘re so funny, Mr. Jefferson. Surely it can‘t be convenient for you anyway, I really have to go. Please enjoy yourself, Mr. Jefferson.”

With those words, she basically fled the scene.

Feeling insecure, Whitney turned toward Isaac, many unspoken questions in her eyes. “You know her?”

Isaac‘s visage remained aloof.

“No, I don‘t,” he replied, but it was as if he was not the one speaking those words.

With that, he rose to his feet.

Whitney was relieved inwardly.

She had invited Isaac to her farewell party to brag in front of everyone at Charity Hospital. While things had somehow taken a bizarre turn, Isaac‘s presence made it clear to everyone that she and Isaac were linked.
