Chapter 810

Isaac breezed past Manuel without so much as a glance and made a beeline for Brittany, taking her hand gently. “When did you get here?”

“Just this afternoon. I was helping Grandma with the pruning in the garden.”

Brittany set down the shears; she had been toiling away in the garden all afternoon and was beat.

Isaac reached for a napkin and tenderly wiped the sweat from her brow. After finishing, he escorted her toward the dining room.

Manuel, bristling with indignation, couldn’t believe Isaac hadn’t even greeted him.

Isaac paused mid-stride, then turned around coolly. “Why don’t you go ask her yourself?”

“I mean, you’re the one who asked,” Isaac retorted, and with that, he proceeded into the dining room with Brittany in tow.
