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.

"He has the looks,” she said as she searched her memory. "But his bad temper cancels it out.”

Mick smiled. "And?"

Mick actually thought that she might be interested in Isaac after meeting him given the ladykiller that he was, but it seemed not to be the case.

Nonetheless, Erin seemed to realize what Mick was getting at and shot him a glare. "Dad, are you getting senile already? We're half siblings-I won't fall for him no matter how good-looking he is."
