The Runaway Groom

The Runaway Groom Chapter 906

James did not dare to look at Irene, let alone answer her.

It was not as if he refused to offer her any comfort.

The truth was that he did not come straight to Irene after he was informed about Isaac’s plane crashing, but instead, he sent anyone they had over to the scene immediately.

They in turn confirmed the plane had crashed within Dunesia borders, and just before James arrived at the hilltop mansion, he was further informed that they found the wreckage on Darcy’s Peak, the highest peak of the country.

It was common knowledge that while airplanes were the safest way to travel, a crash was always lethal!

That was why he did not dare to give Irene an answer—her disappointment would be worse if he gave her hope!

Fortunately, Irene waved him off feebly. “I get it. Just make the arrangements… Can you get us out before sundown?”

“Yes,” James replied.

Irene took her baby back from James just then, but it felt like her chest was hollowed out—as if her heart was taken away.
