The Runaway Groom

Chapter 26

Harvey nodded–he really was interested in Irene, though he could not describe what he liked about her.

Who knows? He might just be stirred by his impulse after being denied twice.

Moreover, the fact that she had wounded him repeatedly makes for a strong memory!

Isaac frowned, feeling as if his possession was being coveted.

Feeling like gossiping just then, Harvey asked, “Are you interested in her too, Mr. Jefferson?”

With that, he returned to his car, leaving Harvey speechless and gaping behind him.
