Chapter 709

Brittany had no idea that Isaac had shown up and brought Daniel home.

Isaac had followed them discreetly, stopping outside the gated community. He didn’t dare to go in, fearing that he would have disturbed the peace.

He feared even more that Brittany would have rejected him again.

He got out of his car and walked to a nearby convenience store to buy a pack of cigarettes. He rarely smoked, but over the years, he had picked up the habit to numb his senses.

With a flick of his lighter, he lit the cigarette in his hand. He took a deep drag. His eyes were filled with confusion that slowly morphed into a look of regret.

Joie had spent the afternoon with the elderly lady, Grace, who had invited her to join in for dinner.

Joie readily agreed, asking, “Where’s Isaac?”

Not seeing Isaac around made Joie slightly uneasy.

Emily, bringing a cup of coffee, responded, “He’s gone out. He mentioned something about visiting the young master.”

The young master referred to Daniel.
