Irene averted her eyes and tugged on her own sleeve.

"Sorry," she murmured, insecurity suddenly flooding her, making her evasive and afraid to look him in the eye! Isaac put down the towel on his head and strode toward her, his towering figure slowly eclipsing her small stature.

"Look at me," he said, his deep voice rich and magnetic.

Irene felt herself being cornered against the door. She slowly looked up while feeling the chill on her back.

Isaac learned downward then and kissed her lips.

Irene's eyes widened in surprise.

"Mmph..." She pushed him off.

"Look, just calm down. I know that I made a mistake."

Isaac studied her in turn, and saw that her cheeks were skinnier after just two days. His thick, black lashes were lowered and his dark pupils twitched.

" It's not your fault, it's mine. I failed as a husband, and constantly made you sad even though you're my wife..."

"No."

Her bright, clear eyes welled with tears.

'I was thinking that you must lack love since you lost your parents as a child.I want to love you more, and offer you a warm home...but I kept troubling you and others, and couldn't even take responsibility as a wife.There were times that I wondered if I was really in the wrong..."

"Trene."

Isaac wrapped his arms firmly around her trembling body, feeling pained inside.

"I'm sorry..." he whispered as he pressed his searing lips against hers, rasping, ''I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry, Irene..."

He planted a kiss on her cheek, his voice hoarse and seductive.

"I want to love you and protect you, but I really lost my mind when I heard that something almost happened to you again.I feel so useless for the first time ever—I mean, how could I call myself a man if I can't even protect the ones I love? But I realized that I was out of line when I remembered how much you suffered before, and wanted to apologize for a while now, you know?"

"I won't ever get angry with you again," he said, resting his chin against her forehead.

'Can you forgive me?" Irene nodded.

"I was wrong too. Can you forgive me too?"

"Of course, silly,"

he said and kissed her longingly and passionately! The air quickly swirled with indescribable passion and tenderness, and they somehow ended up in bed soon enough.

Irene tried to get off.

"I haven't taken a bath..."

"It's fine."

"TO "

She lost herself to the night soon enough! It was a long night that somehow seemed all too brief.

Irene eventually woke up to the blindingly bright rays of the sun.She frowned, wanting to check what time it was when a tender voice said, "It's 10 AM."

"Already?!"

Irene sat up right then and smacked herself on the forehead.

How could she oversleep? As she pulled off her blanket and got off bed, Isaac walked over to her, "I didn't want to wake you because you look exhausted.

You haven't slept for two nights, have you?"

"Yeah," Irene whispered.

"Get washed up.Mrs.Watson has already made breakfast.Let's get something in our stomachs."

"Don't you have work?" Irene asked.

He was much busier than she was and he rarely stayed home.

"I wanted to spend some time with you."

Irene wrapped her arms around his neck then, and stood on her toes to kiss his lips.I'm good.Let's go."

"Yeah."

While they were eating, she hesitated for a while before asking, "Did you find anything yet?"

Isaac naturally knew what she meant.

"Yeah.James and I will handle it, so don't worry," he said, and pushed a glass of warm milk up to her.

"Drink."

Irene did so.

Then, before they headed out...
