Chapter 1042
Irene's gaze was tender as she watched Erin being lively again.
Erin had become quiet and withdrawn after what happened, and she was more or less comforted to see Erin's
personality reverting to how it was before.
Meanwhile, Isaac was speaking with James, probably discussing going back to Franconia.
Things were fine for them since there was nothing stopping them, mainly because James and Erin were just
married and could stay here for a while.
Isaac was giving him a head's up, but James said, "I can go back to Franconia with you."
James got married quickly so that he could go back to work, and his leg was more or less better even though it was
not fully healed.
Most importantly, he was bored out of his mind here, while he and Erin had already agreed to go back to Franconia

"I'll arrange for the return flight," James said, since he was always the one who arranged it.
Isaac simply clapped him on the shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll have someone arrange it."
James should have some time off since he just got married.
James groaned. "But I'm already better..."
"Stan's been complaining for a while. Don't worry," Isaac said with a rare smile. "You have all the work you want
waiting when you get back."
James naturally knew how busy things would be at the office, and James would definitely be busy with him away-
thankfully, he was much better now.
"I should share some work with Stan, since he must be miserable working every day and not getting time to find
someone." James could not help sighing emotionally.
Isaac frowned a little. "Are you saying that I've been pushing him too hard?"
James was going to explain himself when Isaac said, "I'm giving him leave once we head back. You'd be taking over
everything."
James was speechless-why did he say that crap, getting herself into trouble?
"Actually, Mr. Jefferson—"
Isaac did not stop to listen, however, and simply scooped Baby up in his arms and left.
Zachary was laughing himself silly while James suffered, and James strode over to him, stopping himself from
kicking the man.
"What are you so pleased about? You'd die laughing like that," James huffed grumpily.
Zachary only laughed harder at that. "Go vent at Isaac, not me."
James was not interested in playing along. "Just go away."
Zachary stubbornly followed James, however, and kept pestering him." You're just married, but you had to be in
such a hurry to work again instead of spending quality time with the missus. What were you thinking?"

off every day?"
"Are you trying to jinx me?" Zachary frowned and waved him off. ‘Buzz off, and remember that we should only treat
others the way we want them to treat us."
What bankruptcy? He was just busy after having a baby to take care of.
James rolled his eyes. "Look who's talking."
Zachary could punch the man right then. "You're only this harsh to me, aren't you? Would you ever talk to Isaac like
that?"
"You two had enough yet?" Irene came just then, frowning in disapproval." Erin's calling you, James."
James left, while Irene shot Zachary a look. "Can't you play nice?"
"I was just kidding," Zachary smiled. "Fine. I'll hold back a little."
They only returned home after dark with full bellies, having had dinner beforehand.
Irene coaxed both her sons to sleep before taking a bath, and she entered the bedroom to find Isaac making a call
as he stood by the window.
She tiptoed toward him and hugged his waist from behind, whispering, Who are you talking to?"
