The Runaway Groom

Chapter 613

Before Isaac could answer, Erin said, "He's not actually my half-brother- I'm just adopted. I'm not my mother's biological daughter, so you don't have to ask him. We can be together if we want."

James wanted to explain that he knew about that and had zero connection with Isaac, and Yvaine was the only thing that connected them.

Even so, he found it necessary to clear the air, since Yvaine was Isaac's mother too.

Like Erin said, she was adopted-so what did that have to do with him?

Taking Irene's hand, he told James, "Now that you're better, we can go."

"I'll check in at the office tomorrow," James said.

Isaac heard James, but he did not respond.
