The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1115

Back in the day, Julie was a sight to behold, a woman of unparalleled beauty and talent.

Her daughter, Brittany, was every bit her equal in grace and skill. It was a pity he met her too late. Had he known her sooner, he could've guided Brittany onto a professional path, potentially unveiling a new star in the world of chess!

The victory party was held at a clubhouse not far from the competition venue.

The Welandia delegation attended the celebration as well, and upon learning that Brittany had triumphed for Craneville, the queen herself congratulated her.

“Bri, you were fantastic.”

Brittany thanked the queen and politely declined a drink.

Eltham quickly intervened, “Bri’s been feeling under the weather lately, she can’t drink.”

The queen didn’t insist, instead, she asked, “Now that you and Eltham are engaged, have you thought about moving in together?”

Brittany froze.

Living together?

With Eltham?

Eltham had been hoping for more time together to foster their relationship, given Brittany’s lukewarm feelings towards him.

Aware of Eltham’s intentions, Brittany bit her lip, “Your Majesty, I haven’t really considered it yet.”

“First, we’re not officially engaged, and I worry about the talk it might generate.”

“Second, Eltham’s mansion is over an hour’s drive from the Lynette Conglomerate, which isn’t convenient for my work.”

Brittany had a list of excuses, all politely declining.

The queen, seeing reason in Brittany’s words, dropped the subject, suggesting it might be better to wait until after the engagement.

“Alright, I might have been too hasty. You’ve done well this time. If there’s anything you wish for, I could grant it.”

The queen was visibly in a good mood, but Brittany, with a wish to break off the engagement on her lips, knew it was a request the queen would never entertain.

“I don’t have any wishes right now. If I think of something, I’ll let you know.”
