"Sure thing, Grandma."
That was exactly what Brittany had in mind too.
With each passing year, Katelin was getting on in years, and the moments they could share were dwindling. Brittany wanted to make the most of the time they had left together!
The very next morning, Brittany took Isaac to visit the Bishop family's country house.
Their flight was scheduled for next week.
Brittany dedicated all her remaining time to spending moments with Katelin.
Originally, Brittany had hoped Katelin would return to Imperial City with her, but she declined.
"I'm quite content here in Craneville. You should visit more often if you can."
Katelin had grown accustomed to the tranquil life in Craneville, looking at Brittany with concern, "You've lost weight these past days."
"The little one has been a handful."
Brittany nestled into Katelin's embrace, "Grandma, please take good care of yourself."
Katelin gently caressed her cheek, "Don't you worry, dear. I know what I'm doing."
After spending a whole week at the Bishop family's country house, Brittany left with a heavy heart.
She didn't keep her departure a secret.
Ysabel and her husband came to see her off.
Upon arriving at the airport, to Brittany's surprise, Eltham was there too.
He was just as composed and courteous as ever.
"Take care of yourself when you're back in Imperial City."
Brittany harbored no feelings for Eltham, but the past was behind them. She shook his hand, "I've heard you and Ms. Russell have been in touch. She's a wonderful lady; I hope you two replace happiness." Eltham managed a wry smile.
The Russell family was chosen by the queen as a potential match.
Since he couldn't marry Brittany, whom he ended up with hardly mattered.
Isaac kept a wary eye on Eltham, afraid he might make a move on Brittany.
But, fortunately, Eltham didn't do anything untoward.
Before boarding, Eltham handed Isaac a business card, "This is my personal contact information. Should you need anything, feel free to reach out."
Isaac accepted the card, smiled faintly, and the next moment, crumpled it, "Oops, my bad."
Eltham: ...
Brittany: ...
"Zakky!"
Brittany shot Isaac a glare and then turned to
Eltham, "Thanks for youre?
concern, but we won't be needing that."
Eltham's expression shifted slightly.
Isaac, smug, glanced at Eltham and then wrapped his arm around Brittany, "We should head out."
Brittany, unembarrassed, followed Isaac.
Holden watched them leave, feeling a twinge of envy.

he felt a surge of sympathy, "
Let's head back."
Watching them together only makes things worse!
Eltham walked away.
...
The last time Brittany returned to Imperial City, it was for a business trip.
Back then, she hadn't remembered Isaac.
Now, as they were set to return to Imperial City, they were together and had a child.
Settling into the plane, Brittany sat next to Isaac.
Isaac held her hand, pulling out a wet wipe, "Try to shake hands with fewer men from now on."
Too many men were eyeing Brittany.
Brittany rolled her eyes, "Got it."
Isaac might have been a bit possessive, but it only showed how much he truly cared for her!
Nathan Jarvis, seated behind them, watched the couple whispering to each other, chuckled softly, and remained silent.
After a while, he thought to himself, it had been ages since Mr. Salter seemed this happy!
The news of Brittany's return to Imperial City spread quickly.
Daniel got up early, insisting on going to the airport with Yuri.
He even bought a big bouquet of sunflowers, ready to greet Brittany the moment she arrived.
As Brittany and Isaac walked out hand in hand, Daniel called out loud.
"Mom!"
