Brittany really did forget that tomorrow morning was the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

After Eltham left, Brittany found her way to Daniel's room.

Daniel was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, his little head drooping, lacking his usual energy.

"What's wrong?"

Daniel looked up, his eyes slightly red, "Mom, I heard you're gonna marry Uncle Eltham. Is it true?"

If that was the case, what about Dad?

Aren't you and Dad supposed to be together?

Brittany sat down beside him, her expression calm, "Where did you hear that?"

"Everyone in school's talking about it."

Daniel pursed his lips. They also said, if Mom married Eltham, she would not want him anymore and send him back to the Salter family.

They also mentioned that Mom would have a new baby brother or sister and then, he wouldn't be Mom's special boy anymore.

"That's not true."

Brittany answered honestly, "I promise, I won't marry anyone else but your daddy."
