The Runaway Groom

Chapter 61 That being said, Irene never once tried to understand what Lionel was thinking, or what he actually wanted.

In fact, the success he wanted was almost no different from her ambition to become a military doctor. It was just that they had different ambitions, and wanted different things for their lives.

However, she had also realized how rotten a person he was since she started to live with him.
