The Runaway Groom

Chapter 540

Erin Gooding strode into the room. "Did you just say James Cross? He's a vegetable?”

Erin was Mick's adopted daughter, and Stephen naturally knew her.

However, he had no idea what got her so agitated...

"You know James?" he asked.

Mick was watching Erin too-was there something between her and James that he did not know?

Erin hastily explained, "1 met him when I was trying to ask Isaac Jefferson where my mother was buried.”

"Oh, I see." Stephen thought nothing of it.

On the other hand, Mick knew his daughter-if she and James were mere acquaintances, she would not get so agitated after learning that James fell into a vegetative state.

Breathing a sigh, he thought to himself that his child was an adult now, and it was time she left the nest.

Erin was actually surprised by Mick's words. "Dad...?"
