The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1148

“Are you already thinking about our future?” Eltham was over the moon, as if to put her at ease, “Don't worry, I'll make them agree.”

Brittany remained silent.

Did he even listen to what she said?

“I need to call my son.” Brittany made her request. “He’s very attached to me. I’ve been gone for a week; he must miss me.”

Eltham was silent for a moment.

Brittany refused to eat. “Then, I won’t eat.”

Perhaps out of concern for her health, Eltham stood up and handed her the phone with full bars of signal.

“Don’t say anything you shouldn’t, five minutes max.”

“No, I want ten minutes.”

Knowing Eltham needed something from her, Brittany pushed her luck.

Her boldness seemed to please Eltham this time, as he smirked, “Alright, you got it.”

Brittany dialed Daniel’s number, her eyes full of worry.

Daniel might seem well-behaved and sensible, but in reality, he was extremely insecure.

Having been away for a week, she knew he must be struggling.

...

At the Sullivan family mansion.

After Brittany was taken by Eltham, Yuri ended up in the hospital too.

The entire Sullivan mansion seemed to quiet down in an instant, and Daniel was taken care of by the staff, though he was visibly less lively.

Holden kept quiet about the whole situation.

He asked a few times but received no answers and eventually stopped asking, becoming more silent by the day.

After lunch, Daniel trudged upstairs, pushed open his bedroom door, and his eyes instantly welled up at the sight of the empty room.

He walked over to his bed, kicked off his shoes, climbed in, and wrapped himself in his blanket, his little body trembling slightly.

He missed his mom.
