The Runaway Groom

Chapter 481

Irene was left paralyzed in fear, unsure of how she should react.

Did he notice something? The very thought left her gulping without knowing it.

Nonetheless, Isaac paused just a pace away.

"What are you afraid of? Did you think I'd force myself on someone as ugly as you?"

With that, he turned and walked toward the bed, leaving Irene frowning and wondering if there was something wrong with him.

Wait, there was—and it was quite serious too.

By the time Irene brought a chair to sit at the edge of the bed, Isaac had already laid down, and she began to massage him.

While it was fortunate that Isaac slept early, he caught her by the wrist when she tried to leave.

However, as she waited, she dozed off on top of him.
