NovelEnglishThe Runaway Groom Chapter 240
As the realization dawned upon him, Stan exclaimed, You were prepared for this? So long ago?”
Naturally, the thought gave Stan confidence. It meant that they did not have to worry about Henry
impeding them in any way. At this, even his tone lightened up considerably. “I didn’t think he could be
that heartless…”
Henry would actually take back management of Sky Group!
Isaac, however, remained impassive.
It wasn’t as if he was pleased that the insurance he had prepared kept him safe–in truth, he was sorely
disappointed.
Irene could sense that Isaac wasn’t in a good mood, and had a rough idea why.
Taking his hand, she said quietly, “I won’t ever leave you.
Even if those around him betrayed or deserted him, she would always stay by his side!

slender waist.
Self–aware as ever, Stan promptly stepped out of the office with his eyes averted, even closing the
door behind him and telling Debbie the secretary, “Don’t let anyone. disturb them.”
“Okay,” Debbie replied, though she hesitated for a moment before stopping Stan. “Do you think this will
hurt Mr. Jefferson?”
Stan clapped an assuring hand on her shoulder. “It’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”
Debbie still appeared worried. “I could tell that Henry Jefferson looked upset. I’m afraid-”
“We just have to do what we’re supposed to do, and leave the rest to Mr. Jefferson–think no evil and
talk no evil, or everyone else in the office will start panicking too,” Stan advised her.
Debbie quickly understood. “I guess I was paranoid.”
Stan nodded in satisfaction and started to leave. “Good. business I should do the same too.‘
Now go about your
“Stan…”
“What?” Stan turned around.
“It’s nothing. I’ll get back to work.” Debbie smiled.
Stan and her had been working together for years and were basically Isaac’s limbs, their loyalty beyond
question.
Still, Stan did not dwell on her hesitation and left.
In Isaac’s office, Irene was looking up to Isaac’s eyes as she said, “Let’s go home.”
Isaac nodded.
Tommy was awake when they returned to Spencer Mansion, and Sherly was carrying him around the
living room, amusing him with a toy.
“Mom.”
Sheryl had been too preoccupied with Irene to notice them coming. Her smile stiffened when she saw
Isaac after Irene called out to her.
Irene whispered to Isaac, “I’ll talk to her. Just stay in the living room–Tommy’s up, so you can get to
know him.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yeah, okay,” Isaac murmured.
“Mom.” Irene then walked up to Sheryl, taking her by her hand. “Come with me for a while. We should
talk.”
Sheryl, however, already understood–she had seen how the two were behaving in the morning. Now,
they had returned home together.
Rolling her eyes at Irene, she said, “No, we just have to talk here.”
Irene felt uneasy.
Sheryl seemed to be unhappy with Isaac… She wouldn’t say something out of line, would she?
“Tommy’s a baby, and he needs a family and parental love. He was born unlucky and went through a
lot, and I’m naturally happy for you two since you’re together now. You have a child together. Even if
I’m unhappy about it before, I’ll let it go for Tommy’s sake. Also, now that you two have decided to be
together, make sure you can make this work–the most important part about living together is trust, and I
hope you both have that. Alright, it’s late now and I have to cook. Just stay here and take care of
Tommy.”
With that, Sheryl headed to the kitchen.
