The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Chapter 1174

Brittany sighed, "You've got it all wrong."

She poured herself a cup of coffee, took a leisurely sip, and finally said, "Family ties are unbreakable. As Eltham's fiancée, of course, I want him to have a good relationship with his daughter." The queen huffed, "That would be for the best."

Brittany, she did indeed like.

But Brittany's influence on Eltham, causing him to defy her, also brewed a bit of dislike within the queen.

At dinner, Twila was all over Eltham, trying to get his attention. Eltham, not wanting Brittany to feel left out, tried to reassure her.

But Twila always managed to interrupt him at just the right moment, shifting the focus away from Brittany.

Brittany, feeling like an outsider at the table, was thoroughly ignored.

After eating her fill, Twila planted a kiss on Eltham's cheek, leaving him momentarily stunned.

Then he pinched her cheek, "Time for bed."

Twila pouted, "But didn't you promise to tell me a bedtime story tonight?"

"Are you going back on your word?"

Her eyes began to well up, and Eltham felt a headache coming on, "I need to go back tonight, how about I come visit another day, okay?"

Eltham had moved out long ago and rarely spent the night at the royal residence.

Twila looked even more upset, "Dad, do you not like me? Is that why you don't live with Twila?"
