"Ms. Dustin, congrats, you've made it to the next round of the competition. Next Tuesday, please head to..."
Brittany was caught off guard, and when the person on the other end of the phone finished, she swallowed hard: "Really?"
"Yes, Ms. Dustin."
After hanging up, Brittany let out an excited shriek, then immediately got up.
She knocked on Isaac's door.
"Zakky, Zakky!"
Isaac guessed she had received an official call. So, he opened the door, and Brittany hugged him around the waist, her face full of smiles: "Zakky, I made it, I'm in the next round!"
She didn't expect that she would really pass! She thought she'd been kicked out!
"Zakky, you're my lucky charm!" Brittany felt that it was Isaac who had brought her good luck, so she instinctively leaned into his arms.
Isaac's whole body was stiff, and some ambiguous images flashed in his mind inappropriately.
"Let me go."
His breathing quickened slightly.
Only then did Brittany realize she had gotten carried away, after all, he didn't like people getting too close to him.
She extricated herself from his arms, blushing: "Zakky, I'm so happy, sorry."
Isaac cleared his throat, a faint blush on his ears: "No problem. Just do your best in the competition."
Then, he closed the door.
Brittany's voice came from outside the door, probably sharing the good news with her friends, even cheers could be heard.
Isaac seemed to be infected by this joy, the corners of his eyes also smiling.
It's just a competition, but she got this excited? After the good news, Kari and Brittany immediately started preparing for next Tuesday's game.
Isaac found an opportunity, took his grandma back to the apartment.
Brittany was too busy with the competition to make dinner, so she took Grace out to eat.
At the restaurant, Grace started chatting about Isaac's childhood while holding Brittany's hand.
"When he was young, Zac was very handsome, and his mom liked to braid his hair."
Grace was all smiles as she revealed Isaac's childhood secrets.
When Grace saw Brittany this time, her affection for Brittany deepened. After eating, she had Isaac drive Brittany back to the studio.
Isaac hadn't expected Grace to like Brittany so much, so he couldn't refuse.
When they arrived at the studio, Brittany turned to Grace and said: "Grandma, wait for me for a moment, I have something to give you."
Grace happily nodded: "Okay, take your time, I'm not in a hurry."
Brittany got out of the car, ran quickly into the studio, and when she came out, she was holding a particularly large package, which she handed to Grace: "Grandma, I remember you once mentioned that your shoulders aren't very good, so I specially bought this massager for you."
"Did you buy this?"
Grace hadn't expected Brittany to be so thoughtful. She had only mentioned it in passing, but Brittany had remembered.
"Yes. The usage of this massage chair is very simple. Normally I should teach you how to use it myself, but I need to prepare for the competition, so I'll let Zakky teach you."
Even though their marriage was a sham, Brittany remembered all the kindness Grace had shown her.
Grace was touched.
Although she had many children and grandchildren, none of them were as considerate as Brittany.
