The Runaway Groom

Chapter 161

“You’re not insisting on staying, are you?” Henry growled, seeing the look on her face. “Are you really making a bastard called Isaac daddy? Would he accept that? Do you think I would?” Irene suddenly realized that she had missed out something important–Isaac was the heir to his family’s inestimable wealth!
