Chapter 1012
Brittany had completely forgotten him.
As Brittany detected the teasing tone in his voice, she turned and glared at Isaac. "I didn't know you were married when I asked for your contact. Now that I do, it would be too shameless of me to ask for it, wouldn't it?"
Isaac picked up a napkin, scribbled a series of numbers on it, folded it neatly, and placed it on Brittany's plate. "I did have a family before. But my wife forgot about me and took off with our son."NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
His voice carried an unexplained chill, making Brittany shudder involuntarily. "So..."
He was abandoned!
"So, Ms. Lynette, feel free to contact me whenever you need."
Isaac turned and walked away.
Brittany stared at the napkin, impulsively unfolded it, memorized the number, and then meticulously refolded it, slipping it into her pocket.
Returning to her table, Brittany handed a piece of tiramisu to Daniel. "Don't eat too much. Your tooth isn't fully healed yet."
Daniel nodded obediently. "Mommy, Grandpa told me you're going on a business trip to Imperial City next month. Can I come with you? I miss Uncle."
And he hadn't seen Abby in ages.
"If time allows."
Daniel had grown a lot, with features hinting at unfamiliar traits, probably inherited from his father.
Back at the hotel, Brittany went to take a shower. Ever thoughtful, Daniel tossed her dirty clothes into the washing machine, adeptly taking care of her. As he did so, he pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket and unfolded it, recognizing the handwriting.
Daniel's eyes narrowed. He then realized that Isaac was truly back. He quickly noted down the phone number and called out, "Mommy, I'm heading to bed."
"Okay."
Daniel went to his room, pulled out his phone watch, and dialed the number.
The call was quickly answered, "Ms. Lynette?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Daniel's eyes welled up; his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the floor, tears breaking through, "Daddy. Daddy, you're really alive. I knew you wouldn't leave me and Mommy..." Isaac's eyes also reddened. "Daniel."
"Yes, Daddy."
Daniel wiped his tears. "Daddy, you're back. Why didn't you come to find us?"
"How's your mom?"
"She's fine She doesn't remember things between us anymore." Daniel felt sorrowful sharing this, knowing it hurt Isaac, "But Mommy always thinks of you, I can tell."
"Grandpa Wants Mommy to date again, but she refuses. You need to come Back, or Mommy might,

"Daniel." Isaac's voice was deep and husky. "I have some important matters to handle right now. I can't reveal myself or come back to you and
your mom."
"What matters?" Daniel felt a pang of loss; he'd been practically inseparable from his dad, and after over half a year apart, he missed him terribly. "It's something vital. I can't tell you."
The Ulbricht family's comeback was not an easy task, particularly given the number of people they had offended. Isaac didn't want Brittany involved.
"Be a man, son. Can you take care of Mommy for me?"
Daniel clenched his fists. "I can."
"Contact me only in emergencies, understand?"
Isaac's every move was under surveillance. Reckless contact with Daniel could raise suspicions.
Disheartened yet mature, Daniel agreed. "Okay, I understand."
Before hanging up, Isaac reminded him to never discuss this matter.
After the call, Daniel carefully memorized the number and deleted the call log.
Brittany, fresh from the shower, received a call from Yuri. He had to leave early for work.
"Bri, you haven't rested in a long while. Just relax at the resort. Don't overdo it."
