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!

On the other hand, Isaac‘s anger eased a little when he found out that Harvey did not manage to have his way with Irene... but he was furious again to find out that he liked Irene.

In fact, he was even more furious than before!

“What do you like about her?” he asked, wondering to himself what was likable about that woman aside from cheating in relationships.

“I don‘t know, but one way or another, I want her,” Harvey replied without hesitation.

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

“Stay away from her!” he warned sternly, which left Harvey befuddled,

What was going on here?

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

Stan was standing behind Isaac, and turned toward Isaac as well just then–his boss was certainly behaving strangely. What did he really think of Irene? Nonetheless, Isaac looked like he was being utterly serious as he snorted coldly. “Why would I be interested in her?”

Isaac narrowed his eyes, and coldly said, “She‘s married, so don‘t even think about it.”

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