Chapter 871

Isaac knew the score; he wasn’t one for secrets. Rubbing his temple, he said, “I picked up Daniel this afternoon, and his teacher gave me a bunch of forms about getting ready for elementary school.”

He walked over to Brittany. “I had no idea she was sneaking sweets to Daniel. It was news to me.”

Brittany felt a twinge of discomfort at his words but couldn’t quite put her finger on why.

Isaac took her hand. “She shouldn’t have given him sweets without asking. Want me to say something? Maybe get her transferred?”

Isaac, sensing she was cooling down, leaned in for a kiss.
