Master of his heart ( Brielle And Max ) novel Chapter 1252

But for a moment, she didn't notice anything off. By the time she did, it was too late—his arms were already wrapped tightly around her waist.

She tried to wiggle free, but it was pointless.

King's cheeks flushed as he looked deeply into her eyes.

Brielle frowned, trying to look away, but he gently held her chin, making her face him.

"Brielle, did you ask Myles to hypnotize you because you couldn't handle the idea of me harming our child?"

His movements were slow, more about closing the distance between them than anything else.

"Coming back on your own, do you miss me, or are you here to see me suffer?"

His forehead rested against hers, his gaze intense.

The intensity of his stare cut through her, soothing her unease. Knowing that his gaze was still focused on her, not wandering to another woman, was a comfort.

She sighed in relief but kept her cool exterior.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Playing tough," King chuckled, pulling her closer.

"You don't really hate me, do you?" His voice was soft, but his hands trembled slightly.

Brielle stayed silent, making King tighten his grip in frustration.

It wasn't until the next day that they came downstairs.

Isaac had already finished a bowl of instant noodles and glanced at them briefly.

Brielle felt a wave of embarrassment and quickly moved the bowl away.

"King, weren't you supposed to call the staff?"

King had been too preoccupied the day before to remember, but seeing his son eating instant noodles jolted his memory, and he quickly made several calls.

Within half an hour, the household staff were bustling around, preparing breakfast.

Brielle ruffled Isaac's hair. "You can't eat junk food like this anymore."

Isaac said nothing, thinking if he hadn't eaten it, he would have starved last night.

After lunch, Brielle said she needed to go upstairs to prepare some things for her graduation.
