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.”

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