Chapter 292

Isaac said, "Forget it, I wasn't thinking straight. We could just give Mrs. Watson a call—" "I should go back," Irene said, cutting him short. She wanted to go home and check on Tommy anyway. Moreover, Mrs. Watson would be busy caring for their baby, and would not have time to bring Isaac a change of clothes. She walked up to Isaac, and since he was sitting on his bed, she appeared much taller than him—his face was just reaching her chest. Still, he reached out to gather her in his arms. Irene smiled as she gave him a gentle shove. "Not afraid to be seen again?" "Let them see," Isaac growled. Looking at him tenderly, Irene leaned in to kiss his forehead. "You're hurt, so get some rest. I'll be right back after checking on Tommy." "Okay," he said softly. Irene headed out and returned to the mansion in a taxi. Naturally, Mrs. Watson had been caring for Tommy meticulously. The baby could recognize faces now, and he was so happy to see Irene that he flailed his hands for a hug.
