The Runaway Groom

Chapter 455

He did not mention Irene since she did not want too many people to know that she was alive, and therefore hid the truth from his own daughter too.

Even so, Erin’s curiosity got the better of her. "Just tell me already, Dad. I really want to know."

"Well, you've met Isaac Jefferson. What do you think about him?”

He was just changing the subject to divert her attention, but Erin fell for it anyway.
