The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 838

"I really miss Mom…Ahh, Daddy, let go of me!"

Daniel was showering Brittany with kisses when, mid-sentence, Isaac scooped him up. "Enough smooching, let go of your mom!"

Over the past few months, Daniel had grown quite a bit, but he was still no match for the absolute force that was his father.

Pouting, he flailed his legs. "Mommy, save me!"

Daddy could be so petty. He hadn't seen Mommy in months, and what was so wrong with a little affection?

Brittany never expected Isaac to be jealous of his own son. She shot him a look that clearly said, "Give it a rest."

Isaac felt a pang of softness at her gaze and set Daniel down, letting them embrace and whisper to each other, murmuring things he couldn't quite catch.

Back at home, Daniel clung to Brittany, even through dinner, not willing to leave her side. He insisted she stay with him even through his bath time.

Isaac had had enough. "Daniel Salter!"

Daniel sensed the storm brewing and pouted.

He hopped off the couch, "Then Daddy can bathe with me."

Daddy could be so stingy!

Isaac stood up, leading Daniel upstairs.

In the bathroom, Daniel quickly stripped down and stared pointedly at Isaac. "Daddy, where's my little sister?"

He'd been gone for months. Why hadn't his sister arrived yet?

Isaac was momentarily speechless. "Not yet."

Daniel looked stricken. After a long pause, he said, "Daddy, are you... is it because..."

His eyes, far too solemn for his age, landed on Isaac. "Is it... because you're not well?"

He had overheard Grace saying many couples couldn't have kids because of health problems.

Isaac nearly lost his temper at his son's words, squatting down to his level. "Don't talk nonsense. Your mom and I aren't remarried yet, and we need to wait a bit longer for your sister."

He and Brittany had been careful for two reasons.

First, they hadn't officially remarried.

Second, they were both at the peak of their careers and simply didn't have the time to care for a newborn.

Daniel looked disappointed, settling into the tub to wash up on his own, "Daddy, you better hurry up. Mommy's in high demand!"

Isaac chuckled softly. "I know."
