The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1162

“What? You’re kidding me!”

“According to our investigation, Brittany has been seen quite often with a young man, and, get this, they’ve even spent nights together.”

Mrs. Walker’s eyes narrowed to slits. “I remember Piper mentioning Brittany had a boyfriend.”

“Dig deeper!”

...

Back at the Lynette Corporation, Brittany’s work hours were strictly monitored.

Eight hours a day, not a minute more.

The whole town buzzed with the news that Brittany was carrying a child of royal descent, causing her usual detractors to tread more lightly, and her social engagements plummeted.

After work, instead of heading back to the Lynette estate, Brittany was whisked away to the villa by the Eltham family’s butler. No sooner had she stepped through the door than she caught Daniel’s voice—

“You promised, if I came back with you, I could see my mom!”

Daniel sounded upset, confronting Eltham, “Where’s my mom?”

He’d been there for an hour, and still no sign of his mother. He was ready to bolt home.

Eltham wasn’t particularly fond of Daniel, but he didn’t dislike the boy either.

“She’s back.”

Eltham glanced at the clock.

Daniel felt he was being brushed off, grabbed his backpack, and headed for the door, only to stop short when he saw Brittany.

“Whoa—”

He dropped his bag and sprinted towards Brittany. “Mommy—”

Brittany opened her arms wide.

“Ah! Let me go, let me go—” Before Daniel could hug Brittany, Eltham scooped him up. “Your mom is pregnant, you can’t hug her too tight! What if you hurt her?”

Daniel glared at Eltham. “Let me go!”

Eltham stood firm.

Brittany, trying to avert a showdown, said, “Eltham, it’s okay. Let him go.”
