The Runaway Groom

Chapter 230

“Just shut up if you don’t want to get caught,” Ian

growled angrily, and carved a path through the crowd as he made his way to Isaac. “Things won’t end well for you once word of this gets out. Don’t forget–I’m your family. Aren’t you afraid of ruining the reputation of the

Stan and his men cleared a path, while Isaac left with Irene and Tommy on another boat.
