    Brittany shrugged her off, losing her appetite for the coffee.


    “Let’s go, Kari.”


    Ca grabbed her purse and followed them closely behind, “Wait up, sis-inw.”.


    Brittany cringed at the title, pausing her steps, and said, “Don’t call me that.”


    She never considered herself a part of the Salter n, let alone Ca’s sister-inw.


    Ca blushed, “I’m sorry. They were just joking.”


    “What kind of man is William? You know better than I do. Would you marry him if he really did all those


    things they’re saying?”


    Brittany couldn’t understand. Ca was so infatuated with William, and it was no secret. But when


    people spoke ill of him, Ca just brushed it off as a joke?


    Ca’s smile faded, then she said, “You and William broke up a long time ago.”


    “I know. But aside from that, we’re old friends. I trust his character.”


    Brittany didn’t see anything wrong with her actions. She would have done the same for any of her


    friends, not just William. But Ca saw it differently.


    Ca had always wondered why William had been in love with Brittany for so many years. Was it her


    looks? Her figure? Her wealth? She didn’t lose out to Brittany in any of those aspects. In fact, she knew


    William even before Brittany did, yet William never gave her a second look.


    At that moment, she finally understood what was so special about her. Brittany was simply out of her


    league.


    She licked her lips, pleading, “Can you please stop contacting William?”


    Brittany frowned, “What?”


    “I know it’s unreasonable, but I’ve always been bothered by your previous rtionship with William. For


    the sake of our marriage, can you step out of our lives?”


    Brittany was dumbstruck.


    In truth, she hadn’t had any contact with William since he got married.


    “Ms. Salter, you’re imagining things. William is not just my ex, but also a close friend. I owe him a lot. I


    never intended to interfere with your lives, nor did I n to rekindle anything. I’ll try to limit private


    contact, but it’s impossible to cut him offpletely. We share mutual friends on Facebook, and public


    encounters are unavoidable. But I promise you, I won’t reach out to him privately.”


    Having said her piece, Brittany turned and left.


    Ca watched her retreating figure, a sense of unease creeping up on her.


    As Brittany and Kari left, Kari whispered to her, “Does Ms. Salter really like Mr. Dillion? She didn’t even


    stand up for him when people were badmouthing him. She was doing nothing to keep his reputation


    from falling apart.”

    ‘I don’t know,” Brittany wasn’t one toment on other people’s affairs, “Let’s go. I’ll take you home.”


    After dropping Kari off, Brittany picked up Daniel and went back to their house at Radiant Residences.


    She cooked dinner herself and stayed with Daniel until she fell asleep.


    Isaac came home a little drunk.


    Brittany pretended not to notice. Their rtionship had hit rock bottomtely, and Isaac’s attempts to


    make amends had been met with indifference.


    Brittany bypassed him, heading to the kitchen. When she returned, she held a warm ss of milk.


    Isaac leaned against the wall, his eyes a mix of confusion and frustration as he curiously asked, “Did


    you have a fight with Ca?”


    Had Ca tattled?


    The thought shed through Brittany’s mind as she sipped her warm milk, and without providing an


    answer, she questioned him, “Did she tell you?”


    “Everyone knows what William did. You defended him, and his wife is naturally upset.”


    Not wanting to argue with him on that topic, Brittany turned to leave.


    Isaac watched her retreating figure, inexplicably feeling a headacheing on. Almost Instinctively, he


    reached out to wrap his arms around her waist. “Don’t move.”
