The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 910

After all, Brittany was the daughter he'd only just found, and their bond was not yet deep. He feared overwhelming her.

"How about this," he said gently, "you stay over tonight. The Lynette family is eagerly awaiting your return."

Yuri took her hand reassuringly. "After tonight, I'll take you back myself, and we can meet your husband."

Brittany thought for a few minutes before nodding. "Okay."

Yuri signaled the staff to prepare a room on the third floor and personally escorted Brittany to her quarters.

"Mr. Lynette," she said hesitantly, "you mentioned earlier that you would share the story between you and my mother."

"Come with me," he replied.

Yuri led Brittany to the study and made a cup of coffee before beginning his tale.

"Your mother once came to Craneville to study. That's how we met by chance."

When Yuri met Julie,, he was a carefree playboy, living off his family's wealth.

He fell for Julie at first sight.

Unfortunately, Julie was indifferent to him. It took nearly half a year of relentless pursuit, learning her likes and dislikes, and charming his way into her life before she began to show any fondness for him.

Julie was exceptional—strikingly beautiful, academically brilliant, and they shared countless interests.

After a year together, he saw her as his life partner.

On their first anniversary, he brought Julie home to the Lynette family.

Julie had always been discreet, claiming to be a mere student. When the Lynette family learned of her, they disapproved of her humble origins.

Despite family pressure, Yuri insisted on being with her, even to the point of breaking away and moving out of the Lynette family.

Cut off from his family’s funds, accustomed to a life of luxury, he found himself in dire straits for those six months.

To save money, they shared a basement apartment while Julie was still in school.

The Lynette family issued an ultimatum, and he couldn't find a decent job. To make ends meet, he worked on a construction site, earning a meager daily wage.
