The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart (Brittany and Isaac) novel Chapter 25

William wanted to ask Brittany something privately, so he made an excuse to his mom: "Mom, I remember the doctor saying something about changing my medicine; could you go ask for me?"

Tracy Dillion immediately caught his drift, wanting to give him some alone time with Brittany. "Sure, Bri, you keep William company."

After his mom left,

William looked at Brittany, a sour feeling spreading in his throat. He stayed silent for a while before finally asking, "Are you married?"

"How did you know?" There was a moment of confusion in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. It was inevitable that the news would get out.

Brittany's expression changed slightly before she admitted, "Yes."

William was taken aback. "Didn't you just break up with Finn? " Why did you get married so quickly?

Brittany tightly gripped her fingers, staying silent for a while before explaining, "The Dustins wanted me to get married. I didn't want to marry the person they chose for me, so I just got married." She didn't mention that it was a sham marriage.

William felt a pang of sympathy for Brittany and regret for coming back too late.

"What's he like?" he asked.

What he really wanted to know was why Brittany had to marry someone so suddenly and why she chose a stranger instead of him. Did she not trust him? Or did she not know how he felt about her?

"Just an average guy." Brittany apologized, saying, "I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to hide it; I just didn't think it was necessary for the whole world to know I'm married."

Besides, this wasn't the marriage she had been hoping for. There was no need for the whole world to know about a marriage that was destined to end in divorce.

William wanted to say a lot of things, but in the end, he chose silence.

Before Brittany left, she bumped into Tracy Dillion and greeted her. After Tracy Dillion returned to the room, she was still musing, "Bri is a good girl. Where does she work? What’s her family situation like?"

She didn't care about the background of her future daughter-in-law, as long as she was someone her son liked and was a good girl.

William interrupted her, saying, "She's married."

His mom choked up at the news, thinking about how her son got his head injured trying to save her, and now she was already married.

"William."

"She doesn't know that I like her." William said, "We've always been just friends."

Tracy Dillion felt a pang of sorrow. She comforted him a bit and then made an excuse to leave.

Isaac was on a business trip and hadn't been in touch for several days.

Brittany didn't ask about his schedule. She kept working as usual.
