Chapter 676

Erin darted inside her car the instant she saw Isaac. She did not even want to make eye contact, though that was

less fear than her uneasiness with his coldness.

She knew her place and certainly did not want him to misunderstand that she was a social climber, which was why

keeping her distance was the best policy for her.

For Isaac's part, he glanced at her car but did not say a thing.

Lulu greeted him before leaving, while Irene walked up, linking arms with him as he headed inside the mansion.

"Did you send something in today?"

"Do you like it?’ Isaac asked, watching her reaction.

Irene's lips curled up briefly-she would be lying if she said she did not like it because no woman disliked sparkling

jewelry.

However, she did not love it that much and was perfectly without it anyway.

What made her happy was Isaac's sincerity-it was obvious he was sincere.

"It's too expensive, so I wanted to keep it inside the safe in your study, but I didn't know the code, so I had to wait

for your return."

Isaac chuckled. "You sound like you're accusing me for not telling you the code for my safe box."

"Of course. Haven't you heard? Ladies lord over their households these days," Irene cooed. "You, on the other

hand, haven't passed me your estate or paid any dowry.

"What do you want for your dowry, then?" Isaac asked in amusement.

Irene pretended to think about it. "Let's go with the standard market price, shall we?"

Isaac simply pinched her cheek. "Nonsense. You're worth far more than anyone else."

"I'm not that different. I'm getting married just like anyone else, aren't I?"

"My life is yours." Isaac put an arm around her, leaning in to whisper into her ear. "Do others have that?"

Irene gave him a shove. "Smooth. You weren't like that before."

"What was I like before?" he asked.

Irene simply pointed at the table instead of continuing the verbal spar. ‘Put it in."

She was about to leave after that when Isaac caught her.

"Stay," he said, and kept a hand around her as he started to open the safe.

Irene did not look at it since she was just joking-lsaac's fortune was too massive for her to manage.

She heard twirling, clicking of gears as the door unlocked and opened.

Irene saw documents, along with the chest from before.

She brought the suitcases over and had to put the jewelry inside since Isaac told her to.

Still, he stopped her just as she was going to put the bangle in as well.

"Eh?" Irene looked at him, puzzled.

"That's for your mom," he replied-Sheryl had been helping them with their children all this while, and it was hard on

her.

Moreover, Isaac did not have any relatives and considered Irene's family his now.

Irene became emotional-he was certainly attentive.

"But isn't this a little expensive?"

"It's your mom."

"Fair enough. Thank you," Irene said.

Isaac frowned a little. "Why are you being so courteous?"

Irene simply smiled and said, "Can I take a look at that?"

She pointed at the chest in the safe.

She remembered that he was furious when she touched it at Jefferson Manor before and she had never found out

what was inside.

Now that they were going to be married, she wanted to know everything about him.

Even so, Isaac paused.

The safe had been moved here from the house in Rose Garden and he did not change the contents.

Still, sensing his hesitation, Irene did not push him. "I'll take this to my mom, " she said, waving the bracelet.

When she turned to leave, however, Isaac caught her!
