The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

"Are you already thinking about our future?" Eltham was over the moon, as if to put her at ease, "Don't worry, I'll make them agree." Brittany remained silent.

Did he even listen to what she said?

"I need to call my son." Brittany made her request. "He's very attached to me. I've been gone for a week; he must miss me."

Eltham was silent for a moment.

Brittany refused to eat. "Then, I won't eat."

Perhaps out of concern for her health, Eltham stood up and handed her the phone with full bars of signal.

"Don't say anything you shouldn't, five minutes max."

"No, I want ten minutes."

Knowing Eltham needed something from her, Brittany pushed her luck.

Her boldness seemed to please Eltham this time, as he smirked, "Alright, you got it."

Brittany dialed Daniel's number, her eyes full of worry.

Daniel might seem well-behaved and sensible, but in reality, he was extremely insecure.

Having been away for a week, she knew he must be struggling.
