The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

"Shot you a text yesterday."

With a good-natured smile, Eltham quipped, "You didn't reply."

Brittany had been battling morning sickness, feeling utterly drained.

"Heard from Mr. Lynette you were taking some time off. Thought I'd drop by."

Eltham knew Brittany wasn't keen on surprises, but after being away on business for so long, he genuinely missed her.

Brittany shook her head, "Give me a sec, I'll change."

Eltham caught her arm gently, "No need, you look great as is."

Shrugging it off, Brittany asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

"I'll have the housekeeper whip something up."

Eltham nodded in appreciation.

The housekeeper was quick on their feet, serving up a hearty meal of three dishes and a soup in the dining room.

After Brittany tackled her spicy noodle dish, easing her nausea, she sat beside Eltham and brewed him a cup of coffee. "How was the trip?" "So far, so good."
