PopularNovel"Please, just listen, okay?"
Brittany's strength seemed to drain away in an instant, collapsing into his embrace, her hot tears seeping through the thin fabric of
his shirt, dampening his chest right over his heart, burning with pain!
"Crying, huh?"
Isaac turned her face towards him, seeing it streaked with tears, and felt a pang in his chest. He reached out, wiping away her
tears with a voice growing hoarser, "Stop crying."
Brittany was emotionally overwhelmed.
"I'm sorry, | didn't mean to et—"
"l just... | can't remember..."
Isaac kissed her, tasting the bitter tears on his tongue, but he couldn't care less, gently soothing her, "I know, | know."
She wouldn't have otten him on purpose.
Brittany clung to his neck, responding passionately.

In the deep, dark night, within the confines of the car, the atmosphere was thick with unsaid promises.
Suddenly, Brittany felt a wave of nausea. She pushed Isaac away abruptly, swung open the car door, and dashed out, making a
beeline for the nearby bushes, heaving until the world spun.
Isaac initially thought he might have crossed a line.
Seeing her in such distress, he panicked.
With a click, he opened the driver's side door, walked over to her, and supported her, "What's wrong?"
Brittany, feeling miserable, shook her head: "It's nothing."
"Must be something | ate."
Lately, Brittany had been running herself ragged, eating at odd hours. She had meant to see a doctor but never found the time.
Isaac wiped away the droplets at the corner of her mouth and handed her a bottle of water, "Rinse your mouth."
Brittany looked pale and fragile, stirring a deep concern in Isaac.
"I'll take you back inside."
"No, it's too late. What if we wake someone?" Brittany remembered that Isaac's presence had to remain a secret.
"It's fine, everyone's asleep."
Isaac carried her into the Bishop family home, a place he had visited many times before, navigating the familiar path with ease.
They barely made it to the second floor when they encountered Derek at the hallway's bend.
As their eyes met, Derek's gaze harbored a brewing storm, "Who are you?"
Brittany stepped out from Isaac's embrace, instinctively protecting him, "Bro, why are you still up?"
It was the middle of the night.
Derek had already woken up once to get water and noticed Brittany wasn't in her room.
Seeing an unknown car outside, he first thought Eltham hade over.
But the man stepping out was a stranger.
“Bri, you know this guy?”
Brittany, pale-faced, admitted, "Bro, he's my boyfriend."
Boyfriend?

Derek was taken aback.
"Bri, go back to your room and rest." Isaac gently squeezed Brittany's hand, "I'lle see you another day."
"But—"
Brittany was worried Derek might be harsh on him.
"Don't worry, Derek and | need to talk."
Despite her apprehensions, Brittany didn't resist Isaac's suggestion and cast an anxious glance at Derek, "Bro, | invited him over.
Please, be nice."
Derek rolled his eyes in frustration, "Great! The elbow bends out already!"
“Go back to your room!”
Once Brittany reluctantly returned to her room, Derek scrutinized Isaac, sensing something familiar yet impossible about him.
"lI don't care how you managed it, but if you dare hurt my sister, | won't let you off easy!"
"And break it off with her immediately. She's already engaged."
"That was the royal family's coercion."
Isaac's eyes were dark and intense: "Derek, do you really want her trapped in an unhappy marriage for life?"
