Chapter 658

Chapter 658 Brittany shot Grace an invite.

Grace was hankering to try Brittany’s grub, so she agreed.

Brittany was stoked that she cooked extra rice.

She served up three bowls at the table, and just as Grace was getting ready to dig in, she noticed Brittany’s hand was swollen and red.

“Brittany, what happened to your hand?”

Brittany’s burn was hard to miss, with clusters of shiny blisters surrounded by redness. It looked gnarly.

“No biggie, just a burn,” Brittany said, dodging Grace’s outstretched hand. “Let’s eat first.”

Grace felt a bit bummed and mostly guilty.

Daniel came back late and had a snack, so he wasn’t that hungry. After a few bites, he claimed he was full and insisted on going back to his room.

Emily escorted him back to his room, leaving Brittany and Grace alone in the dining room.

After a long silence, unable to bear the tension, Grace broke it, “Are you still mad at me?”

Grace blamed herself for moving into Radiant Residences with Joie five years before and even getting mad at Brittany because of Joie.

“You’re overthinking it; that was five years ago,” Brittany replied, her face aloof. “I won’t be staying in Radiant Residences for long. Once I’ve sorted things out, I’ll leave with Daniel.”

“If you have even a shred of feeling for me, I hope you can persuade Isaac to give me custody of Daniel.”

“Still can’t forgive Isaac, huh?”

Brittany lost her appetite, knowing that no matter how much Grace liked her, she would always side with Isaac. That’s her grandson, after all.

Grace realized she’d spoken too hastily, “Brittany, Isaac did make mistakes five years ago, but he’s been waiting for you all these years.”

“I didn’t force him to do those things, to pretend to be someone else and marry me. He deceived me for a long time, which caused me to be separated from my son for five years, even get kidnapped by Leda, and fall into the sea. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have gone through all that.”

Grace immediately fell silent; after a while, she stammered, “Can’t you give him another chance?”

“Grace, let’s eat first.”

Brittany composed herself, trying to stay cool as a cucumber.

Grace didn’t bring up the topic again; she started inquiring about Brittany’s life lately. She genuinely cared about Brittany, and Brittany answered all her questions.

After dinner, Grace left.

Before leaving, she looked at Brittany again and said, “Brittany, I want to apologize for what happened five years ago. I didn’t take good care of you. If you have any resentment, you can vent it at me; just don’t...”

“You’re worried I might take it out on Joie?” Brittany’s last bit of softness vanished instantly. Her gaze was cold.

Grace’s lips trembled slightly, “Joie saved my life, and Isaac’s.”

“Please leave, Grace.”

Brittany felt really uncomfortable.

After Grace left, Brittany stood in the yard, looking at the well-kept mansion, feeling disgusted.

She was fed up with everything there, including the people who showed up.

When Isaac got back, he found out that Grace had been there.

He immediately went to see Brittany, only to find her packing.

“What are you doing?” he asked.

Brittany paused in folding her clothes and replied, “I’m taking Daniel and getting out of here.”

Isaac’s expression instantly changed, “You’re doing well here. Why would you want to move?”

Brittany stood up and said, “My brother gave me a villa; it’s closer to school, and the security measures are just as good.”

She paused, “You might get married in the future. Could you consider giving me custody of Daniel?”

Isaac clenched his fists, and his eyes were dark as he replied, “No way.”

Brittany expected his response. If that was the case, there was no point in discussing it further.

“Then we’ll have to settle this in court “Even though we didn’t get married, our past relationship could be considered a de facto marriage. I’m capable and confident that I can take good care of Daniel.”

“We are married!” Isaac couldn’t tolerate her cool-headed analysis of her advantages any longer, and so he blurted that out.

Brittany was taken aback, “What are you talking about?”

They were married?
