"Scared?"
Brittany stared at him, her voice laced with sarcasm, "Mr. Salter, do I need to remind you who is responsible for all this mess?"
Isaac tightly grasped her hand, frantically kissing the back of it, "I messed up. I messed up. If you don't like Radiant Residences, we could stay here, okay?"
Brittany pulled her hand away, "No need. I want to live by myself for a while. Mr. Salter, please leave."
She needed time to think, so she could consider whether this marriage was still worth fighting for.
Isaac's lips twitched, as if he wanted to say something but never managed to.
After a while, he stood up, "I'll have Hannah come and stay with you."
He couldn't just leave Brittany alone at home.
Once Isaac left, Brittany stretched out leisurely and yawned.
An hour later, Hannah arrived.
Brittany was indulging herself in a bowl of strawberries.
After seeing Hannah, Brittany's eyes lit up, "Come! Have some strawberries!"
Without waiting for Hannah's response, Brittany popped a strawberry into her mouth.
Hannah found it sweet and laughed, "These are really good."
"I heard from Mr. Salter that you're moving back here? You don't like Radiant Residences?"
Brittany, with her fingertips stained with the sweet scent of strawberries, bit into another strawberry, "I feel free here."
"Alright. I'll move in with you then."
Brittany knew she was worried about her, "We always talked about living together after college. Now our dream is finally coming true!"
"Bri, why don't you divorce Mr. Salter and marry me instead?" Hannah playfully touched her belly, "I don't mind being a stepmom to your child. I promise to treat them well!"
Brittany couldn't help but laugh. Her gloomy mood instantly lifted.
...
It was late at night when Isaac returned to Radiant Residences.
