The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Eltham was well aware of the strong bond between Brittany and her mom and knew they had things to discuss, so he patiently waited outside. Once Brittany got into the car, Eltham handed her a bottle of water, unscrewing the cap before passing it over: "Here, have some water." Brittany took a sip and nodded, "Thanks."

Eltham signaled the driver to start the car: "To the Lynette estate, please."

"My mom mentioned, she'd like us to undergo a pre-marital health checkup soon."

Eltham had been meaning to bring this up, but his schedule had been swamped, and with Brittany resting at home, he had postponed the conversation until today. "Sure."

Brittany agreed, though her spirits seemed low as she leaned back in her seat, drifting towards sleep.

Eltham watched her face, his hand moving to caress her cheek but stopping just short of touching her.

The idea of a pre-marital checkup unsettled Yuri slightly.

"If it turns out you're pregnant-"

"Dad, it's bound to come out sooner or later."

After everything, Brittany had come to terms with their situation; it was time for her and Eltham to come clean.

Yuri sighed, "Alright then."
