Chapter 784
“Why haven’t we had a little sister yet?”
With a good-natured chuckle, Isaac moved to the other side of the couch, tenderly fetching a throw pillow to provide some extra support for Brittany’s lower back.
Isaac poured a warm glass of milk for Brittany, “I’ve cleared my afternoon schedule so we can go out for dinner.”
Quality family time had been a rarity, and now that they were in H city, he was eager to show Brittany and their son around.
“Sounds good.”
Brittany had business to attend to in H city, but her husband and son were her top priority.
After a hearty meal, their son, Daniel, eagerly changed into a matching set of family outfits.
The light blue polo shirt and knee-length shorts made him look adorable and well-dressed. Brittany and Isaac also donned matching outfits.
After packing up, the family trio left the hotel. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Everything about H city was a novelty to Daniel: He insisted on walking by himself instead of being carried by Isaac.
The family first visited H city’s most popular family amusement park, a first for Daniel.
The countless rides and games made Daniel’s eyes sparkle. He let go of Brittany’s hand and dived into the amusement park. The park was vast, filled with parents accompanying their children.
There were many restaurants nearby, providing a great dining option for the visiting families.
The couple chose a high-end café, ordering some beverages and watched the park’s activities through the café’s floor-to-ceiling
window.
Daniel was having a blast. He was a social butterfly, and in less than half an hour, he had already made friends with several boys. Brittany let out a sigh of relief and glanced at Isaac, “About your work?”
“Nathan can handle those matters.”
He was paying Nathan a lot of money, not for doing nothing.
Isaac covered her hand, his eyes full of sincerity, “I used to prioritize work because that’s what I wanted most. But now, you’re more important than work.”
Brittany, and their home, were what he wanted to protect the most. Work was nothing compared to them.
Brittany’s heart melted. She knew that Isaac was a workaholic. If he didn’t care about his work, Grandeur Capital wouldn’t be where it is today, and he wouldn’t have held the reins for almost a decade. But she had ruined it.
“Don’t overthink.” Isaac saw through Brittany’s guilt, “I discovered a long time ago that Grandeur Capital was a burden to me. It’s better this way.”
No matter how good Grandeur Capital was, it was not worth serving the Salter family who were only out for their own interests. Brittany knew feeling guilty wouldn’t solve anything, thus replied, “Okay.”
After an afternoon at the amusement park and having coffee, Brittany joined Daniel in his play.
Isaac had somehow acquired a camera and nearly filled up the memory card with photos.
Leaving the amusement park, the family trio headed to a restaurant.
As they entered, a male voice rang out.
“Ms. Dustin, what brings you to H city?”
Brittany looked up to see Leo Martinez/standing not far off, accompanied by a young woman. There was a hint of intimacy between them, but more awkwardness.
“Leo, long time no see.”
After their last collaboration, Brittany hadn’t seen Leo.
Noticing Isaac and Daniel, Leo forced a smile, “Mr. Salter.”
Isaac eyed Leo warily and instinctively held Brittany’s hand tighter, “I heard recently that you got engaged?”
Isaac knew that Leo had once pursued Brittany, and he couldn’t afford to show any kindness towards this rival. Engaged?
Brittany was slightly surprised. She and Leo were business partners after all, and she was unaware of such significant news.
Leo had long given up on Brittany, and he had only greeted her because they ran into each other. However, he didn’t expect Isaac to be so hostile. This could turn out to be quite entertaining!
“Yes, I got engaged recently. I also heard that Mr. Salter and Ms. Dustin got divorced? Why are you together in H city?” Leo sneered, “A post-divorce vacation?”
Suddenly, Brittany felt a chill creep up from her feet to her heart.
