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

"Isn't this the first time with strawberries...ugh! So sour!"

His fair little face instantly scrunched up: "Mom, it's so sour!"

Brittany watched Daniel, who kept spitting, and burst into laughter: "Dad bought these especially for me, you shouldn't just grab them."

She poured Daniel a glass of water, forgetting it was actually lemonade - double strength lemonade at that!

Daniel took a gulp and it stuck in his throat -

Brittany panicked, hurried back to the kitchen, and came out with a glass of milk, handing it to Daniel: "Sweetie, mom forgot that was lemonade, have some milk."

Daniel was on the verge of tears, gulping down the milk. Once he'd had enough, he finally caught his breath: "Mom, the butler said you're expecting a sister for me, is that true?" Brittany was unsure: "We don't know yet!"

Daniel's eyes shone with hope: "I'd love a sister, I'd take good care of her."

This pregnancy, Brittany had gained a bit over twenty pounds, which was considered slim for a pregnant woman.

She yawned: "Then read a story to your sister."

Daniel nodded, ran back to his room, and came out with a storybook, sitting beside Brittany to read to her.

Brittany listened until she felt sleepy.

Isaac came downstairs and saw the mother and son together, his lips curving slightly.

"Shh-" Daniel signaled for Isaac to be quiet, "Mom's sleeping."

He pointed to the dozing Brittany.

Isaac walked over, lifted Brittany into his arms, and carried her back to the master bedroom.

Daniel followed closely behind.

After settling Brittany, Isaac came out to find him: "What's up?"

"The strawberries are dead."

Daniel looked at his fingers: "Dad, can you help me?"

Isaac raised an eyebrow: "If you promise not to bother your mom."

Daniel nodded: "Okay."

Isaac had the butler buy new strawberry plants, selecting the eight most popular varieties of the season.

Isaac changed into comfortable clothes, rolled up his sleeves, and started planting the strawberry plants with Daniel.

After an afternoon's work, Daniel, exhausted and sweaty, refused to give up until all the strawberry plants were properly settled. Isaac washed his hands and headed to the kitchen.

Daniel followed: "Dad, I want to learn how to cook."

Mom loves the food you make, and he wanted to learn so he could make it for her too!

Since Isaac stopped working, he let go of the extra staff, taking on all household chores himself, especially cooking. He glanced at Daniel: "Learning to impress Abby?"

"No."

Daniel was earnest: "Mom loves your cooking, and I want to learn so if you're not home, I can cook for her!"

"I'll always be home."

Daniel insisted: "I want to learn."

Isaac grabbed a pink apron, "Come here."

Daniel resisted: "Dad, it's a pink apron."

His teacher said only girls choose pink aprons!

Isaac tied the apron on him: "Your mom bought this, you don't like it?"

Daniel immediately backtracked: "I like it."

He wasn't tall enough, so Isaac found a stool for him to stand on, "Start with washing the veggies."

"What's for dinner?"

"Sweet and sour ribs, tofu fish soup, vegetable salad."

"Why do we have to eat grass?"

Daniel was a carnivore through and through, detesting greens.

But Brittany had been insisting on

eating them lately, requiring a big et

plate of vegetable salad with every

meat, which Daniel found horrifying.

"Your mom likes it."
