Master of his heart ( Brielle And Max ) novel Chapter 1183

"I bet she had some feelings for you. I mean, a woman has plenty of ways to avoid having a baby, but she chose to keep it. Maybe she started to care about you, but just couldn’t wrap her head around it at the time."

King's gaze flickered, and a calm expression settled on his face.

"She tried everything, but I stopped her."

Brielle fell silent, pondering what kind of deep-seated issues could drive two people to such extremes. Poor Isaac.

Luckily, Isaac, like Max, lived in his own world. He was spared from the pain of a mother who never showed up, unaffected by her cold absence. Otherwise, being stuck in the shadow of feeling 'unwanted' could be a tough scar to heal.

As the saying goes, some spend their lives being healed by their childhood, while others spend their lives healing from it.

After dinner, Brielle took a moment to sit in the garden, enjoying the long-missed sunshine while watching Isaac play with Noir. Noir was endlessly entertained by the oversized cat teaser, his glossy black fur shimmering in the sunlight—a clear sign of his well-fed status.

A smile crept onto Brielle's lips but quickly faded as thoughts of Max and King clouded her mind. What would happen to Isaac if King disappeared?

Isaac was different from other kids. Despite his speech impairment, he was incredibly smart. He made sharp decisions even when being chased, his thoughts were intricate.

If anything happened to King, Isaac would be the first to sense it. His mother didn’t want him, and now the father he knew might vanish. Brielle couldn’t bear the thought. It was agonizing.

Rubbing her temples, she noticed Isaac was warming up to her. After overhearing her phone conversation about making King disappear, his demeanor had changed from hostility to a cool acceptance, no longer avoiding her.

Brielle hoped their relationship could deepen, but what about Max? It was a dilemma she couldn’t navigate, so she chose to stop thinking about it.
