The Runaway Groom Chapter 807

James had an idea of what Mick wanted to say, and so, he spoke first. “I’m convinced that time mends, and that Erin would eventually forget the trauma in the days to come. I don’t believe that she’d be hurting forever, and I want to stay with her in the long run. You have nothing to worry about—you can entrust her to me, and I promise to make her happy for the rest of her life.”

Mick was going to ask James just that, and hence, he switched gears. “She still needs time to calm down. Give her some space.”

“I just wanted to see her,” James said, nodding. “I didn’t expect her to react that badly.”

“She’s calm around us, but she can’t do it around you,” Mick explained. “That means she cares about you—what you think and how you’d feel. That’s why she would lose control, so please understand her.”

“I know.” James certainly understood and therefore did not take offense.

Mick then asked, “Where are you staying? I have another house, you could—”

“At Swiz Hotel,” James replied. “I took leave but I’m still on the job and might leave anytime. You needn’t bother—a hotel is just fine.”

Mick nodded. “Just contact me if there’s anything you need.”

“I will,” James replied, and he then told Mick to leave sooner since he was worried about leaving Erin alone at home.

Mick could feel that James was serious about Erin, and was therefore glad, even treating him as family.

“Don’t worry,” Mick said. “I’ll take good care of her. Just call me if you want to find out how she’s doing.”
