The Runaway Groom

Chapter 647

Erin was playing hide-and-seek with Tommy, and she inadvertently bumped into Isaac.

The sight of his scowl left her heart skipping up to her throat. "I-I'm sorry. That was an accident."

Irene quickly put a hand on his arm and smiled. "I brought her here as a guest."

Isaac wheeled on her just then, confused by why she did it.

Irene simply told Erin to keep playing with Tommy while she dragged Isaac further into their room.

"Why the long face?"

Isaac simply planted himself on bed and glanced at her sideways. "What, am I supposed to be smiling?"

Irene sat beside him, wrapping an arm around his, and cajoled, "Calm down. I know you dislike outsiders, but I had considerations when I brought her here. Just think about it: she’s with James now, and they might get married later-the man is your right-hand man, while she's raised by your mom. There is a connection."

Putting her head on his shoulder, she added, "I don't want you to go without a family."

Isaac simply looked at her. "You're my family, aren't you?"

While he would yearn for that before, he had a family now with Irene and their two sons.

Nothing else mattered.
