The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 698

"I will behave, I'll study hard, and I will grow up to protect you."

Daniel's solemn promise brought a flush of emotion to Brittany's eyes.

Leaving the hospital, Brittany decided to take Daniel back to her rural hometown.

When they arrived at Granny Dustin's old place, it was already nightfall.

After five years, the yard was impeccably neat and clean.

Brittany was surprised.

After Granny passed away, all the servants had left. Who could've been taking care of the place then?

Daniel, still a child, was quick to shift his emotions.

Spotting the garden in the yard, he bolted towards it.

"Slow down," Brittany called out, worried he might trip.

Just then, a passerby noticed Brittany.

"Ms. Dustin, is that you?" the stranger asked, approaching her quickly.

"Who are you?" Brittany didn't recognize the man.

"You've forgotten, I guess. I used to work here. When Donna Dustin passed away, I stuck around in the neighborhood," the man explained. He had a kind face.

"Hello." Brittany offered a warm smile, "Did you take care of this yard?"

"No, not me. There's a professional who comes around. I thought it was at your request."

The man seemed surprised. For five years, someone had been routinely cleaning the yard. He and the other locals assumed Brittany had arranged it.

Brittany thought, “A professional cleaner?”

Brittany's mind flashed an image of a handsome face, but she quickly dismissed the thought. It couldn't have been Isaac.

Sensing Brittany's discomfort, the man decided to leave her be.
