The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 686

Isaac watched as she peeled an orange, with a hopeful smile on his face. "Can I have a piece?"

It wasn't about the fruit. He just wanted an excuse to interact with Brittany.

Brittany offered him the remaining half of the orange, her fingertips lightly stained with the fresh juice from peeling it, giving them a translucent glow.

As her fingers brushed his palm, Brittany quickly pulled her hand away, pretending to be nonchalant as she looked out the window.

Biting into the juicy orange slice, the sweetness filled his mouth. Isaac wiped his fingers with a napkin. A warm sensation lingered on his palm.

Through the rear-view mirror, Isaac watched as Brittany bent over, carefully adjusting Daniel’s jacket. Her slender fingers moved gracefully, revealing the prominent bones of her knuckles.

Brittany noticed his gaze and bit her lower lip, trying to conceal her discomfort.

Upon arriving at the kindergarten, Brittany quickly helped Daniel out of the car, while Isaac drove off to park.

"Bri."

As soon as they stepped out of the car, Brittany spotted Viola Miller with her daughter, Abby.

Bruce, Viola's husband, was also there.

"Abby." Daniel let go of Brittany's hand and walked briskly over to Abby. He reached into his bag and pulled out a little cupcake. "For you."

Abby's eyes twinkled as she gratefully accepted the treat with a childish "thank you."

Brittany felt a pang of realization. So that's why Daniel's cupcake offering seemed so smooth earlier; he’d done it many times before!

"Mr. Salter didn't come?"

Viola looked around, failing to spot Isaac, and prepared to launch into a tirade.

"He's just parking the car."

Just then, Bruce's phone rang. He apologized with a smile and walked away.

Viola glanced at Isaac, who had just arrived and smirked mockingly.

"Mr. Salter, it's commendable that you put aside your busy schedule to participate in a parent-child event. How rare."
