"Alright then, how about you stay here with me? I'll take care of you. What do you say?"
Daniel had a hurt look in his eyes, "If it's a bother for you..."
"No bother; I'm glad you could stay." Brittany felt guilt and sorrow watching Daniel cry. She hugged him, wiped away his tears, and said, "I'm sorry. I really want you to stay. Are you willing to stay here?"
Tears filled Daniel's eyes as he looked at the bodyguard, clearly annoyed, "Then you can leave."
The bodyguard simply said, "Thanks for the trouble," and then he left.
Daniel held Brittany's face and gave her a few kisses, "Mom, I really like you a lot."
His words completely melted Brittany's heart.
"I like you too, Daniel."
The bodyguard entered his car and looked back at the man in the back seat, saying, "Mr. Salter, all went well."
"Understood."
Daniel officially moved into Brittany's house. When William heard about that, he bought a lot of toys and snacks for Daniel.
Daniel was clingy, always wanting to stick to Brittany.
That greatly reduced the time Brittany spent with William, and seeing the disappointment in his eyes made her feel guilty.
After Daniel's nap, Brittany drove to Dillion Group.
Her relationship with William was no secret, and many employees were aware of it. Upon her arrival, the secretary greeted her.
"Ms. Dustin."
"What's William doing?"
"He is in a meeting. Could you wait in the lounge for a bit?"
The secretary, aware of William's feelings for Brittany, was particularly warm towards her.
Brittany followed the secretary to the lounge. The secretary made her a cup of coffee, and Brittany was surprised at the aroma, "Where is this coffee from?"
