The Runaway Groom

Chapter 361

Irene had seen the person in the photo before–she was sorting a patient’s file for Stephen, and he had told her that the patient had special privilege.

However, the patient’s photo left an impression on her because she resembled Isaac’s mother.

Irene tucked the photo inside the envelope and returned it on top of the desk. “I was asleep, and was thinking about reading a book.”

“I see…” Mrs. Watson replied, but she was clearly skeptical.

Irene smiled. “It’s true.”

Mrs. Watsons smiled in return. “And here I thought you can’t sleep because Mr. Jefferson is away.”
