"Dad!"
Brittany's cheeks flushed the moment she brought it up, "It's not set in stone yet, let's not talk about it."
Seeing his daughter's shy bashfulness, Yuri burst into laughter, "Alright, alright, | won't say another word."
Ever since he and Brittany had reconnected, she had never shown him this girlish side of hers.
Now, seeing her blush and act timidly was something he found especially endearing.
It was as if the void of the past thirty years was gradually being filled.
Daniel sighed heavily, "What do | do, mom's got a boyfriend, should | tell dad?"
After a hearty meal, Knox, before leaving, entrusted Brittany with his most trusted aides that he had cultivated over the years.
"From now on, if there's anything you don't understand at Grandeur Capital, you can ask them," he paused, "or you can ask me."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
After Knox left, Yuri let out a sigh of relief, "Bri, your grandpa has always been like this. He's accepted you, and he'll start treating
you better and better."

But Brittany was thinking about something else.
"Dad, what if I'm not in Craneville one day—"
"Why wouldn't you be in Craneville?" Yuri was puzzled, "Is it because your boyfriend isn't from here? Just move over, a trailer's no
big deal. As long as you two truly love each other, | won't object.”
Brittany choked up: ...
Isaac couldn't possibly leave the vast Salter family to settle in Craneville.
And she was doing this behind the Lte family's back...
With Craneville and the Imperial City thousands of miles apart, a long-distance relationship would undoubtedly affect their feelings.
Seeing her lost in thought, Yuri guessed that her boyfriend was from out of town.
"Bri, | don't object to you dating, but if you leave Craneville, | just can't help worrying," Yuri reasoned with her emotionally and
logically. "I'm getting older, and | just hope our family can stay together."
Brittany lowered her gaze and responded softly, "l understand."
She and Isaac had just reunited; it was too early to discuss these matters.
After returning to her room and stepping out of the bathroom, Brittany saw someone had joined her.
Her eyes lit up, and she quickly approached.
"When did you get here?"
Isaac wrapped his arms around her waist, his breath hot on her neck, making Brittany particularly sensitive, "Stop it."
"Did you miss me?"
Isaac had been incredibly busy, having taken down the Donahue family, his workload had only increased.
To make this visit to Brittany, he had put in a lot of effort.
Brittany smelled the scent of fresh pine on him, "Yes."
She didn't know how much the old her liked Isaac, but now she was extremely fond of him.
She wished she could be with Isaac every moment.
Isaac was pleased with her answer, lifting her onto the vanity and leaning in, "Good girl."

He kissed her passionately, and Brittany, wrapping her arms around his neck, responded eagerly.
Isaac, satisfied with her response, pressed on her nape, diving deeper.
Brittany, breathless from the kiss, eventually had to push him away, "Stop..."
Too intense.
Isaac backed off a bit, "CallZakky."
That's what she used to call him.
Brittany, overwhelmed with affection, softly whispered, "Zakky."
As soon as she spoke, a cold glint flashed in Isaac's eyes. He suddenly lifted Brittany, throwing her onto the bed, and leaned over
her.
The bed was soft, bouncing Brittany until she felt dizzy.
The night was filled with the sweetness of marshmallows, yet intertwined with the crisp scent of mountain pines.
Afterward, Isaac took Brittany to the bathroom to clean up, then cleaned himself, and they lay back down together.
He removed his mask, revealing his true face.
