Chapter 1176

Brittany couldn't help but chuckle, "That's not what I meant."

Isaac, slightly irritated, retorted, "Don't go feeling sorry for anyone else."

It had been a while since they last saw each other, and Brittany had a lot to say to him. Yet, when the words reached her lips, she felt they were unnecessary.

An eerie silence fell upon the room, their breaths intertwining. Brittany lay in his arms, and through the thin layer of fabric, she could clearly hear his heartbeat. Isaac gently squeezed her waist, "Time to sleep."

Brittany, who usually found it hard to sleep in unfamiliar beds, felt much more at ease with him around and unknowingly drifted off to sleep in his embrace. Isaac was in a rush this time, his time was limited.

He couldn't stay for long.

Once she fell asleep, he carefully moved away from her, pulled the blanket over, and tucked her in properly.

She seemed a bit fuller lately, probably due to the pregnancy, making her look even more delicate. He reached out, caressing her face for a long while before finally leaving. The deep, dark night swallowed all traces.

When Brittany woke up again, the space beside her was empty.

Heading downstairs, she bumped into Twila.
