The Runaway Groom Chapter 499

‘Isaac Jefferson, you have every right to not love me... But you have no right to question my virtue."

With that, Irene reached for the doorknob, opening it with a click.

However, Isaac caught her hand. "I'm sorry."

Stephen's words had struck him where it hurt, and he let his own anger get the battle of him.

Moreover, she really was pregnant, which was why he had such a poor choice of words.

‘Irene, if I didn't love you, I'd never be with you even if we had ten children. All I wanted to do was
protect you, that’s why I said I was only staying with you because of Tommy- the more I showed
concern for you in front of lan, the more he would want to hurt you."

Irene looked up, forgetting her scars in shock.

He had said that because he did not want lan to hurt her.

So, was it all just a misunderstanding?

Isaac's eyes landed on her scars then and his expression darkened further.

His throat felt stiff and he could not speak.

Irene came to her senses when she realized what he was looking at. She quickly tried to hide it, but her
hands seemed to be at a

loss if she should brush her hair over it or pull up her collar.



Looks are everything for women, and it was natural that she did not want the man she loved to see her
hideous face.

"Don't look," she murmured, lowering her head.

Nonetheless, Isaac cupped her face so that she looked at himself.

Two pairs of eyes-one evasive, the other gazing lovingly.

He studied the burn scars that stretched from her face to neck. The skin was left wrinkled, uneven, and
reddened-unseemly, even hideous.

All he felt was pain and heartache.

Irene's eyes welled with tears. "Don't look. It's ugly."

She certainly did not like the way he stared, taking in her ugliest state.

Isaac simply gathered her in his arms, his face pressing against the burned side of her face and
whispering gently into her ear, "It isn’t."

Irene knew very well how she looked. "You're lying."

"It must have hurt," he simply said, carefully caressing her and kissing her on the forehead. "I’m sorry."

He blamed himself for not protecting her, allowing lan to capture her, and for saying what he did without
thinking, sending her running away with their child.

Irene leaned on his chest and asked, "How did you know I was here?" She did not understand how
Isaac discovered her-he never realized that' Jane Tanner’ was actually her back in Minerva.



"Stephen Carr... And I'll definitely kill him," Isaac growled through his teeth, having almost fallen for
Stephen's lies.

Now that he had calmed down and thought about it, the look on Stephen's face made it clear that he
was messing with him, intent on provoking him.

"Stephen?" Irene was actually surprised.

"He told me that you fell in love with someone else and did everything to leave me..."

"He said that?" Irene looked up at him. "Is that why you believe I was with someone else and had their
child?"

‘l... I didn't believe him," he said, clearly averting his eyes in guilt.

He had let his anger get the better of him, but he would not have if he had doubted Stephen.

After all, Stephen told him that Irene left him because she no longer loved him-what if it was true?He
felt uncertain about why she left, but now he knew, and it was all because she misunderstood him.

"Isaac Jefferson, actually feeling guilty?"

It had hurt her considerably when he asked her who the father was.

"What a coincidence-1 need to talk to Stephen. I'll ask him why he said that when I do, so are you
coming along?" she asked.

She naturally wanted to prove that Stephen was lying.

After all, she had been gone for months, and it was natural for Isaac to get suspicious now that she
was pregnant.It just went to show that they did not fully trust each other yet.



Isaac naturally would not refuse her, but he did not want it to be today. "We can go tomorrow-"

"It's urgent. Tomorrow would be too late," she insisted.

Isaac had no choice but to take her there, and they soon arrived.Irene pressed the doorbell, and
someone soon answered...
