Scattered papers littered the floor.
Isaac stood his ground with an air of calm defiance. "I admit, concealing my true identity was a mistake on my part, but…"
At first, it was Brittany who mistook him for some broke kid, and he had simply played along with the misunderstanding. But as things progressed, he did make genuine errors.
Yuri had no patience for his explanations. "You and Bri, get a divorce."
"That's not an option." Isaac shook his head. "You're angry, and I get that. You can do whatever you want to me, but this… I can't agree to."
He had worked so hard to win Brittany back; there was no way he could just let go.
Yuri scoffed at his resolute stance. "Do you even know who clued me in on this? It was your own father!"
Tension radiated from Yuri. "My daughter has suffered because of the Salter family, and as her husband, not only did you fail to protect her, but you also let her endure so much pain. What right do you have to be with her now? Either agree to the divorce, or settle things with the Salter family."
Yuri was already displeased with him, and now he had found the perfect excuse to make Isaac's life difficult.
Isaac remained still, a glint of cold resolve flickering in his eyes. After a moment, he declared, "I will handle the Salter family."
Yuri's anger was far from quelled. "As for today's incident, I don't want Bri to find out. Until you've dealt with the Salter family, I don't want to see your face!"
The meeting between Isaac and Yuri was anything but pleasant, and both tacitly agreed to keep Brittany in the dark.
Isaac, under the guise of work commitments, stopped accompanying Brittany to the Lynette Mansion, and Yuri didn't mention Isaac again.
Initially, Brittany didn't think much of it, but after several rebuffs and accidentally discovering that Isaac's schedule wasn't as packed as he claimed, she sensed something was amiss.
Choosing an evening when Isaac was home, she sent Daniel over to the Lynette Mansion and took to the kitchen herself, preparing a sumptuous dinner.
