The Runaway Groom Chapter 831

Isaac remained relaxed with their baby in his arms.

Sitting down on the couch while playing with the baby, he said, “The old man is dead.”

Irene appeared stumped. “The old man?”

Which old man?

“The one named Jefferson,” Isaac said flatly, without any emotion in his tone.

Irene, however, was stunned when she realized which old man he was referring to!

“He’s dead? From illness?”

She knew about his condition, and while it was serious, they had managed to keep it in check with the best

medicine available. He should not have expired that quickly…

That was when Isaac said nonchalantly, “He had a heart attack.”

He kept his eyes away from him.

Irene lifted a brow. “You gave him said heart attack?”

“There was a connection I guess,” Isaac replied.

Irene was speechless.

She then took their baby from his arms and left the baby with Mrs. Watson while dragging Isaac upstairs.

Once inside, she quickly asked, “What on earth happened?”

Isaac simply sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her nonchalantly with a smile. “What’s got you worried?”

Irene simply could not read his emotion.

She knew that Isaac bore a deep grudge against Henry Jefferson, and it would make sense if he was apathetic

about his death.

Even so, Henry was still his family—did he really feel nothing at all?

“You kept asking me what I was doing, right? Come, let me tell you,” Isaac said, holding out a hand to Irene.

Irene was hesitant, but slowly walked to Isaac and put her hand in his palm.

Isaac held her hand and with a slight pull, he brought her into his arms!

As Irene dropped onto his lap, Isaac wrapped his arms around her waist, leaning in to whisper beside her ear,

“Don’t you find me cold?”

“I don’t,” Irene said, wrapping her arms around his neck. “I know you’re a good man.”

Isaac chuckled in amusement. “A good man? What assessment is that?”

“The best assessment. Or would you rather be a villain than a good man?” Irene caressed his cheek, looking at him

lovingly. “Are you really alright?’

Regardless of what happened, Henry was his family, but he was now gone—meaning that the last of his extended

family was gone!

Irene, on the other hand, had her own mother.

But who did Isaac have?

“I have you, don’t I?” he said just then.

Irene gave him a hug, “Yeah. I’ll take good care of you.”

“You’ll take care of me? Or is it the other way round?” Isaac chuckled.

Irene was speechless.

Clearing her throat, she said, “I’ll resign.”

She simply had to resolve the trouble at hand first.

Isaac held her hand, his thumb gently brushing over the back of her hand as he said quietly, “He wants me to spare

Ian Jefferson, but I refused. The agitation caused a heart attack, and they could not revive him in time.”

“Ian Jefferson?” Irene frowned slightly. “Wasn’t he drugged out of his mind?”

“I’m not sure how he recovered, but he’s the one who did it.”

Isaac had suspected Ian from the start, but he did not have any evidence.

As such, he arranged for his men to watch Ian at Jefferson Manor, and as time went by, he got the evidence he

needed!

When he headed over to recapture Ian, Henry stopped him, and in the ensuing confrontation, Henry had a heart

attack!

As Irene realized what happened, she sprang to her feet, furious and indignant. “It was him? He was the

mastermind, and the reason Erin…”

Irene hated herself even more then—she should not have been soft and suggested the drug, sparing his life!

Her mercy had caused this tragedy!

“Irene.”

Isaac tugged on her hand. “It wasn’t your fault.”
