The Runaway Groom

The Runaway Groom Chapter 208

As Henry looked up, he frowned when he saw that it was lan. He folded the report sheet and slipped it into his pocket while asking, “Why are you here?”

“Just keeping a friend company…”

Before he could finish, an alluring woman walked up and linked her arm around lan’s, but he quickly pulled his arm away and quietly told her, “Leave.”

The woman did not seem to understand and smiled. “lan

“I told you to leave, didn’t I?” His expression turned cold right then.

Finally noticing that he was hostile, she became flustered and hung her head as she left.

“Grandfather…” Ian began.

Henry, however, was watching the woman, and told him solemnly. “You’re not a child-you should be getting married, and not surround yourself with unseemly women.”

lan smiled. “Of course, Grandfather–by the way, I just heard that the child is Isaac’s”

As he spoke, he glanced at the child in Timmy’s arms Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Henry stepped between them right then.

“You must be hearing things. Why would Isaac have a child?” he asked, and changed the subject right then. “What were you doing with that woman in the hospital? You know that our family should always keep our bloodline pure. The mother of your child must be someone of equal social standing”

lan pursed his lips, but smiled again. “Grandfather”

It was certainly true that he came with that woman as she got checked, but she was not pregnant.

lan knew very well that his potential partner must be rich or powerful. Even if he liked the woman just now, she was at best entertainment and not marriageable.

He knew the importance of alliances, and he needed his wife’s family connections and other resources.

“Fool around all you want, but there is a time to stop. Also, tell your parents not to mess around ever again. -I’m old now, and I won’t live that long to protect the three of you-”

“You were the one who handed off everything to Isaac, Grandfather, and you’re now telling us to stop fighting too?” lan slipped his hands in his pocket, but he was feeling aggrieved despite looking sloppy!

He felt that Henry was playing favorites. They were all Jeffersons, and both of him were his grandsons- why should Isaac be given the entire dynasty?

He was certainly dissatisfied, and convinced that he was capable of what Isaac could do, but Henry refused to give him a chance.

“I have my reasons,” Henry replied. “You can ask your mother if you really want to find out.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” lan was smart-he sensed that Henry was clearly telling him that his mother had done something wrong, and Henry had given Isaac everything in recompense.

“I’m leaving now, lan. I’m really tired.”

With that, Henry walked away with Moneypenny’s help.

“I will walk with you, Grandfather.” lan went up, and Moneypenny stood aside so that he could hold

Henry’s hand.

Henry could not refuse, and gestured for Timmy to leave with the child first.

As Timmy nodded and left, lan asked, “Who is that child, Grandfather?”

He had clearly heard Henry say that the child was Isaac’s, and Henry was deliberately sending him away to prevent any contact between them.

After walking Henry to his car, he said, “I have something else to do, Grandfather. I won’t be heading home with you.”

“Okay,” Henry replied.

However, seeing that lan was heading back inside the hospital, Henry told Moneypenny, “Tell the doctor

to keep his mouth shut.”

“Yes, sir.” Moneypenny promptly made the call…
