The Runaway Groom Chapter 806

James called out to Erin. “Hey.”

It would have been better if he did not, as she quickened her pace when he did.

James quickly ran after her and caught her wrist. “Why are you running?”

His tone was relaxed and did not convey his frustration.

However, Erin did not feel the same.

She did not like James’s touch because she considered herself filthy.

“Let me go!” she snapped, dead serious.

James refused. “I came all the way to see you. You’d hurt me if you still hid from me,”

He kept his tone as mild as possible so that Erin could let go of the past. “How about a movie tonight, seeing that

I’m being sincere?”

Unmoved, Erin snapped coolly, “Let me go!”

James did not and kept smiling. “Whatever you say.”

Unable to shake him off, Erin was almost hysterical, and leaned down to bite his hand so that he would let go.

He did not, even though she could taste blood.

In fact, he was looking at her determinedly. “That brings me back.”

Erin then remembered her scuffle with James soon after they met, and it felt like ages ago!

However, she was much more rational these days, and certainly not as mean.

Looking into James’s eyes, she said, “I’m not who I was…”

“You’ve never changed in my heart, and that will never change.” James smiled, and started to gather into her arms.

Erin turned pale right then. “Don’t touch me!”

She was so hysterical that James felt jolted, and he released her in reflex.

Her emotional outburst drew many stares, and unable to calm down, she started to run again.

James quickly gave chase when he came to his senses, but kept his distance this time without closing in recklessly.

He was relieved to see her run back to home.

As Erin ran back to her room, Mick Gooding saw her abrupt return and asked, “What’s wrong?”

She was supposed to be at work, and it was not a public holiday…

Worried, he knocked on Erin’s door and asked, “What’s wrong, Erin?”

Erin wiped her tears as she replied, “I’m fine, Dad.”

She was at once guilty and miserable that she snapped at James, but when he tried to hug her, she remembered

the time when that gang raped her.

She did not mean it, but her emotions burst out right then. She could not face James, let alone stay with him and

act like nothing ever happened.

She spoke from behind the door. “I need your help, Dad…”

“Tell me.” Mick spoke from outside.

“James is here. Tell him that I won’t ever marry him, and that he shouldn’t look for me after we break up.”

Mick did a double take.

So James was here… That was why she was so agitated.

“Alright, I get it. Just calm down, okay?”

Mick did not try to dissuade her since she could not calm down long enough to think, and anything he said would be

pointless… or even make her feel worse!

Mick turned and headed downstairs, stepping out of the house, and he saw James standing by the road.

James appeared helpless, so Mick went over to him.

“James.”

James turned, and straightened his slump when he saw Mick.

He was a man and should not show weakness no matter how bad things were.

“I came to see Erin.”

Mick said, “Shall we get a coffee?”

James nodded.

After they took their seats, Mick spoke first. “Erin needs time.”

He had more to say, but he stopped as he looked at James.
