Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 1351

Dustin had always been great at reading people, and right now, he knew better than to keep teasing.

As they arrived at Premier Palace, the nerves kicked in again.

“What if Ellie still doesn't recognize me?” Dustin wondered aloud.

"She's getting better," King reassured him, right before his phone rang. He answered as they walked inside.

“Hey, Brielle?”

“King, how about we take little Zack to the amusement park tomorrow? He hardly ever gets to go out, and he could use some fun.”

A big smile spread across King’s face, like he was soaking up a sunny day.

“Sounds great. I’m almost home, by the way, and I’ve got someone with me.”

“Who?” Brielle asked, just as King pushed the door open.

Brielle looked over and immediately saw Dustin standing there. Memories flickered through her mind, and she blurted out, “Bro?”

Dustin had braced himself for Brielle not recognizing him, but hearing her call him “bro” made his heart melt. He quickly closed the gap between them.

“Ellie, how are you? I heard you were out cold for two days. Are you hurt?”

Brielle shook her head, cheeks turning pink from the attention.

Dustin then noticed Isaac and couldn’t resist pinching the kid’s cheeks.

“Has this little guy put on some weight?”

Brielle scooped Isaac up, “Yeah, I think he has.”

Isaac and Dustin locked eyes, both sizing each other up. Dustin looked at Isaac’s face, so similar to King’s, and felt a pang of envy. His sister already had a kid, and he didn’t even know where his own love life was heading.

Brielle suggested Dustin stay for dinner, then turned to King, linking her arm through his.

“Which amusement park should we go to?”
