Chapter 498

‘Isaac Jefferson, you have every right to not love me... But you have no right to question my virtue."

With that, Irene reached for the doorknob, opening it with a click.

However, Isaac caught her hand. "I'm sorry."

Stephen's words had struck him where it hurt, and he let his own anger get the battle of him.

Moreover, she really was pregnant, which was why he had such a poor choice of words.

‘Irene, if I didn't love you, I'd never be with you even if we had ten children. All I wanted to do was protect you, that's why I said I was only staying with you because of Tommy-the more I showed concern for you in front of lan, the more he would want to hurt you."
