Seeing her scared, Isaac stepped forward, gently caressing her face. "All you need to do is get treated. Once you're better, you can take your revenge on me in any way you want, except for filing for divorce."
Brittany turned red with anger. "Isaac, have you no shame?"
He had deceived her. How dare he keep her trapped there?
Isaac saw her disgust for him and felt a pang in his heart. "I'll take care of Jason's matter. When you' have recovered, we'll go home."
What an absolute jerk!
Brittany was both angry and anxious. She lashed out and slapped him. "Who wants to go home with you? I want a divorce!"
Isaac's face turned to the side from the slap, but he didn't get angry. He gently kissed Brittany's lips. "If hitting me makes you feel better, go ahead."
Brittany was stunned.
She glared at Isaac, teeth clenched. "Get out!"
Isaac knew she couldn't get upset; he spoke softly. "I can leave, but you can't get angry."
He took her hand and covered her belly. "You've been scared; the baby's not stable yet, don't get angry."
Brittany was burning with rage and said, "As long as you don't show up in front of me, I won't get angry!"
Isaac knew she was soft-hearted, he said gently, "I'm sorry for lying to you before. I didn't go on a blind date with Shona. Manuel set that up, and I refused from the start."
Isaac explained, "The thing with Joie wasn't what you thought either. I was on a business trip, she was planning to go abroad, and I just took her to visit the school."
Brittany found his explanation unconvincing. She pushed his hand away, "Mr. Salter, who you're with is your business. You don't need to explain to me."
It was ironic. Isaac clearly knew about the rumors online, yet he still flaunted his relationship with Joie in front of her!
Isaac's throat tightened; he knew Brittany was still angry.
He couldn't make another mistake. He stayed silent for a while before speaking, "Alright, I'll stop. You rest up in the hospital. Once you're better, we can talk again."
Brittany was still steaming; she didn't want to talk to him anymore. She decided to pretend to be asleep.
