Chapter 646

Isaac remained unaffected-even as calm as a pond.

His angular fingers curled up, hooking Irene's hair, and twirled repeatedly. ’ What do you think we should name our

youngest?"

Irene turned to look at him, not sure what he was thinking just then and unable to even guess it.

He grinned. "What's that look for? Well, I do look good."

Irene did not continue about Henry just then, since it appeared that Isaac really did not want to talk about him.

Making a straight face, she said, "No, you don't. In fact, you're hideous."

Isaac pulled her into his arms right then, holding her chin in place to make her look at him. "Speak from your

conscience."

"I am," Irene replied with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

Isaac leaned closer then. "Fine. Tell me, what makes me ugly?"

She held Isaac's gaze just then, her pupils darting everywhere and glinting luminously.

Everything from his chiseled face, to his dark eyes and sharp nose, all made him attractive.

"Your face, your eyes..." She tried to lie regardless, but even she could not stop herself from laughing out of

embarrassment soon enough.

Isaac kept his arms around her. "You don't have to be involved in this one. I'll handle it."

Irene studied him then. "I'm just worried about you-l mean, we're the victims, and we wouldn't have to retaliate if

Ian didn't do what he did. Also, you can enforce a press gag, right?"

Isaac, however, appeared nonchalant about that. "They can say anything they like."

Irene straightened herself right then and studied him seriously. "Why would you want to be misunderstood? It's not

your fault."

Seeing him being flamed upset her, and she did not want to see that.

Even so, Isaac simply smiled. "What are you getting agitated about?"

"I mean, my heart aches for you-"

Realizing that she was being too direct, she pouted in embarrassment. "If you don't keep things in check, things will

escalate until the point of no return. I mean, you're not worried since you're in the right, but words hurt."

Isaac's heart sang and his grin broadened.

He liked her like that.

"I'll have someone see to it," he said dotingly.

"Other successful businessmen care a lot about their reputation," Irene said. "That's why they involve themselves in

charity for brownie points- you, on the other hand, allow yourself to be slandered."

"I get it." Isaac gathered her in his arms.

Even so, he did not enjoy doing pointless stuff.

Irene was right. Many who involved themselves in charity would gain a good reputation, but they paid their workers

peanuts and readily sacrificed others for their selfish motives.

The system for charity was not as simple as it looks either, as donations meant tax rebates.

That is why Isaac believed that a good enterprise should be able to rake in billions while taking care of their

employees' profits and benefits.

'Why would you, a doctor, know about that?"

"I'm just concerned."

Isaac gazed at her with his dark eyes, and he said with his quiet, deep voice, "I know."

That she cared about him, and it made him happy.

Bzzt-

Irene's phone started to ring, and she whipped it out to answer.

It was Ricky.

'Hey, I'm getting discharged."

"Oh. Do you have a place to stay? Do you need me to arrange one for you?’

’It's fine. I have something arranged-I just wanted to ask you your stuff. I mean, I've kept some of your belongings

before I sold Spencer Mansion. Do you still want it, or can I throw it away?"

Irene had actually thought that he sold everything in Spencer Mansion, and she was surprised that Ricky kept

anything.

She remembered some of her favorite books before attending school, and she said, "I'll come to get it."

'What is it?" Isaac asked.

"Ricky kept some of my old belongings and he just got discharged. I'll get it back and see if there's anything useful."

Isaac said, "James can get it for you."

They had already returned to the hilltop mansion, so Irene nodded. "Fine."

With that, James was sent to get Irene's old belongings, while they returned to the mansion.

However, someone bumped into Isaac the instant he set foot inside, and he glowered when he saw the unexpected

visitor!
