Chapter 610
When Sheryl arrived to wake Irene up in the morning, she opened the door to find her and Isaac in bed, even holding each other so intimately!
Did he manage to beguile her again?
Did she forget how they were chased out of their own home?!
How could she have forgotten about that already?!
"Irene Spencer!"
They were both jolted from their sleep, and Irene was left at a loss for a while as she rubbed her eyes. "Mom...?"
"How could you be so stupid? Letting him in after he dumped you? What..."
Sheryl was actually left at loss for words by her daughter's naivete.
Irene turned toward Isaac just then, but he did not say a word as he pulled up the blanket to hide his face, leaving her with the mess.
Glaring furiously at Irene, Sheryl snapped, "Get up already!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIrene knew right then that she must explain the misunderstanding, or Sheryl was not going to let this slide.
Getting off the bed, she put on her slippers and followed Sheryl outside, who quickly snapped again, "He's going to marry another woman, and you're still jumping in bed with-"
Feeling embarrassed, Irene quickly cut her short, "Mom, he never dumped me."
Sheryl glared at her. "His secretary chased us out of our house, and you're still defending him? You've really been bamboozled!"
Irene was actually confused just then, and stared stupidly at her mother." Bamboozled?"
"Look, I know he has the looks, but you shouldn't be fooled," Sheryl said.
Irene scratched her head, finally realizing what she was saying. "I'm not that shallow, mom-Debbie was the one who made Tommy sick because she has the only antidote, and
Isaac had to agree to marry her for Tommy's sake-"
"But you and that research team made that antidote!" Sheryl interrupted, looking at her grimly just then. "Are you sure you're not being bamboozled?"
"No, mom. Debbie was threatening him-he was just playing along," Irene explained.
"That's right," Mrs. Watson arrived just then and reasoned, "Mr. Jefferson isn't like that. You've been staying with him for a while, haven't you? You saw for yourself how much
he loves Tommy."
Sheryl became quiet just then, and remembered how Isaac patiently and lovingly took care of Tommy back then-he could not have expressed a father's doting better.
"I'm not that stupid, Mom. I wouldn't keep bugging him if he really is marrying someone else," Irene kept explaining, tugging at Sheryl's hand.
Sheryl relented.
Just then, the news reported an inferno at the castle.
Sheryl's eyes widened, recognizing that it was the castle Isaac bought to preserve Irene's 'body'.
Seeing her surprise, Irene asked, "What's wrong?"
Sheryl's eyes were locked on the TV even as she said, "What's wrong?
That's your fault, you know-when we all thought you dead, Isaac refused to bury you, and instead bought that castle and set up a freezing chamber inside to preserve your
body... but why is there a fire? There's no reason for it..."
The castle was cold and damp, and the environment around was not that flammable-a fire would easily die out.
And yet, the TV was showing a violent blaze... though that was not the most perplexing issue.
"Two dead? But there was just one body..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIrene, however, understood.
Isaac had promised that she would see the outcome today
As for two bodies, one was the cadaver she used before to take her place.
So, the other would be Debbie.
Still, Irene remained impassive, though there was a tinge of coldness in her eyes.
Debbie deserved what was coming to her!
Still, it was murder, and Irene refrained from telling Sheryl so that she would not get spooked.
"It's fine, Mom," Irene told Sheryl. "Tommy would be waking up by now."
"Okay," Sheryl said, and glanced between Irene and Mrs. Watson. "Fine, it's a misunderstanding as you said-there's no way he would not love you, or he would never want so
many children with you. Anyway, I'm checking on Tommy, so you two clean yourselves up. Mrs. Watson has already prepared breakfast."
However, the mention of her missing child left Irene's heart sinking, but she did not let it show.
When she turned away from Sheryl, however, there was sadness in her eyes and she returned to her room without composing herself.
Isaac was sitting on the bed, straightening his clothes, and Irene walked up to him.
His heart clenched when he looked up to her pale face. "What's wrong?"
