Then Twila was taken away...
"How did she get here?"
Hestia's body quivered slightly, and after a long pause, she said, "She's your child."
Eltham stroked his fingertips, "I don't recall us ever being that close."
Hestia braced herself, "You were drunk."
Eltham's dark gaze fell on Hestia, and for a moment, Hestia felt a surge of fear, "It's true, I'm not lying to you."
"Hestia."
"I seldom drink, but that doesn't mean I can't handle my liquor."
On the contrary, he had a high tolerance.
He had never been drunk in his memory.
Moreover, how could a man who was drunk be capable of sleeping with a woman?
Thinking back on her actions, Hestia's face turned pale, and she stuttered without forming a complete sentence, "I...I didn't mean..."
"Hestia, stay away from Bri."
Seeing her face, Brittany might misunderstand.
Hestia's eyes widened in surprise, "If you care about Brittany so much, why did you bring me here? Living under the same roof, how can we not see each other?"
"I brought you here because Twila asked for it."
"As for my fiancée, she doesn't have to follow any rules. She can come and go as she pleases." Eltham poured himself a glass of honey lemonade, "When she visits, you just need to make yourself scarce." Hestia bit her lip, "I...I didn't intend to come between you two."
She knew Eltham had feelings for Brittany and was aware of Brittany's status as the sole heir to the Lynette estate, a figure beyond her reach. "Why did you come back then?"
Eltham was resentful, he put down his glass, and walked away.
Hestia stood still, staring at the glass, silent for a long time.
...
After Brittany became pregnant, she started having trouble sleeping in unfamiliar beds.
The royal mansion's beds were large and soft, but she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Finally, in the dead of night, she managed to feel slightly sleepy.
Suddenly, a loud "bang" woke her up!
Brittany was startled awake to see a figure standing on the balcony. She recognized the person and got out of bed!
Isaac saw she was awake and entered the room.
Brittany threw herself into his arms, "How did you get here?"
The royal mansion was heavily guarded, how could he have sneaked in?
It had been more than half a month since Isaac and she had last met and he missed her terribly. He picked her up, supporting her by the buttocks, and quickly walked to the bed, "I've got my ways."
Brittany inhaled his scent greedily, "I've missed you so much."
Isaac felt the same.
He gently kissed her lips, "Have you seen Hestia yet?"
"Not yet."
Isaac held her waist, "Hestia looks somewhat like you, Eltham's attraction to you wasn't purely coincidental."
A lookalike?
Brittany frowned, "So Hestia is back, when will he let me go?"
"It won't be that simple." Isaac pulled
the covers over her, "Your
engagement is known throughout
the city, Eltham won't easily break it off
Besides, Eltham did have feelings for Brittany.
"Then tell me more about them."
Isaac lowered his voice and began to narrate, Brittany listened with interest, "So, that child, was Hestia's cunning plan?"
"Yes, she wanted a child."
Hestia had no family, so she desperately wanted someone of her own, and back then, she genuinely liked Eltham.
She just didn't expect that Eltham would break up with her, and that she would have to leave Craneville, wandering for eight long years. "Hearing this, Hestia seems quite pitiable too."
Isaac was displeased that her
attention was on Hestia, he touched
her lips, a hint of jealousy in his
voice, "She's pitiable, and
