The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 966

The words "my husband" soothed Isaac, but anxiety quickly took hold again. He couldn’t shake the feeling that seniors always had a knack for falling for the juniors, for example, William.

After exchanging pleasantries, Hugh turned to Brittany with a friendly grin. "Bri, let's swap digits. We should grab some grub sometime."

Brittany jotted down her number and helped a completely sloshed Charles into the car.

"Take care, Hugh," she said as Isaac shut the car door and took his place behind the wheel, casting a lingering glance at Hugh before driving away.

Brittany, sitting in the backseat, kept a watchful eye on Charles, making sure Charles didn't topple over in the drunken stupor.

Once home, she ushered Charles into the guest room. There was an unspoken rule about propriety between men and women, and Brittany couldn't very well undress him.

With a grunt, Isaac wished he could meld her into his very being, then they could be together forever.

"That'd be for the best."

After their late-night escapades, Brittany wanted to check on Charles but was firmly held back by Isaac. "If you're not sleepy, we could go for another round."

Brittany always worrying about another man, was that really okay?

Exhausted beyond belief, Brittany didn't dare speak another word and snuggled into Isaac’s chest. "Okay, I won't go."

Content at last, Isaac held her close as they drifted off to sleep.
