Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 1296

Brielle stared down at the elevator floor, pressing the close button with a determined finger. The elevator started its slow descent, holding just the two of them in its confined space.

Brielle was so furious her fingertips were trembling. As soon as the elevator doors opened, she stormed towards her car, eager to get home now that the workday was over.

Earlier, she and King had arrived together in the same car. Now, she quickly got in and, without waiting for King, locked the doors from the inside.

King, left standing outside, gave a forlorn look and tapped on the window, hoping she'd reconsider.

But Brielle didn’t even glance his way. She stepped on the gas, and the car peeled away from him.

King was left standing alone in the vast expanse of the underground parking lot, too stubborn to leave, convinced that Brielle wouldn’t actually leave him behind.

However, Brielle was serious this time. She floored it all the way back to her place.

Back home, Isaac was playing with Noir, their dog. Noticing Brielle’s solo return, he asked with a puzzled look, “Where’s Daddy?”

Brielle stiffened. Now that her anger had cooled off, regret began to seep in. She sank into the couch, her eyelashes casting shadows on her cheeks.

Isaac could only guess that a fight had happened. He fiddled with Noir’s ear before approaching Brielle.

“Brielle, don’t be mad,” he said, opening his palm to reveal a small candy.

Brielle was taken aback, her heart melting at the gesture. She quickly unwrapped the candy and popped it into her mouth.

“Thanks, buddy. I feel a lot better now,” she said, her mood visibly lifted.

Isaac wanted to suggest bringing Daddy back, but the words got lost in his throat when he met Brielle’s gaze.

What if Daddy was the one at fault?

Unable to resist, Brielle pulled him into a hug. “Buddy, I wonder who your mom is, to have such an adorable kid. Don’t worry, if King took you in, we’ll treat you like our very own.”

Isaac thought maybe letting Daddy cool off outside for a while wasn’t such a bad idea.
