The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart (Brittany and Isaac) novel Chapter 1038

Yuri was taken aback when he saw Brittany coming down the stairs.

"Weren't you supposed to crash at a friend's place last night?"

He had gotten up early, but there was no sign of Brittany coming home.

A blush crept onto Brittany's cheeks. "I got in late."

Yuri, who had seen it all before, could tell she was hiding something. "Bri, were you out on a date with Willard?"

"No," Brittany shook her head. "Dad, Willard and I don't really click."

She had already had that talk with Willard.

Yuri frowned in concern. "Then who was it? Someone I know?"

"Dad, really, it's nothing." Brittany sat down, reaching for a bowl of oatmeal. In that moment, as she lowered her head, the necklace around her neck sparkled brilliantly.

"Is that a new necklace?"

Yuri had spotted a clue.

Brittany, not wanting to flaunt her ring around town, had threaded it onto a necklace instead.

She instinctively covered the ring, her cheeks flushing. "Dad, please, I'll tell you when the time is right."

Yuri sighed deeply. "Alright, alright. My little girl has her secrets now."

Daniel came downstairs, his world crashing down around him!

Mom's got a boyfriend!

Dad's been ditched!

Daniel scurried over to Brittany. "Mom, do you have a boyfriend? Do you still love me?"

What about dad?

Brittany couldn't help but laugh, pinching his cheek. "Of course, I love you the most."

Daniel sighed, resigned to the fact that mom didn't love dad anymore.

After breakfast, Daniel, backpack slung over his shoulder, trudged off to the car, his spirits low.

The driver noticed his glum expression.

At school, Daniel, his backpack on and sipping honey water, called Isaac.

"Dad, mom's got a boyfriend. Your wife's gone!"

...

Isaac had dropped Brittany off at the Lynette Mansion early in the morning.

He then made his way to the hospital, where he and the doctor were on familiar terms.

"Caspian, you really need to give your stomach a rest. No more drinking."

Isaac ignored the advice, asking instead for painkillers.

There were more pressing matters at hand.

The doctor, unable to persuade him otherwise, reminded him to come back for a follow-up.

After taking the painkillers, Isaac plunged into his work.

Nathan watched him, worried by his friend's declining health.
