Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 1479

"He should just keep being my moon in the sky, and that's fine."

Dustin stared at the message, his brows furrowed deeply. How much understanding does it take to say something like that? No resentment at all?

Her life had changed completely because of this child, and yet she felt no bitterness? Why blame him? It's not like it was his fault. Honestly, I allowed it to happen. If I'd said no from the start, he wouldn't have laid a finger on me. It was my own doing, caught up in the moment. Hating Dustin would be absurd.

Dustin was at a loss for words.

The next day, Emma had prepared herself mentally for what lay ahead. As she pushed open the office door, she already had a plan on how to explain things to the company. Worst case, she’d have to give back the apartment and the money she’d earned.

But maybe she could talk to Dustin, see if she could keep a million considering her dedication and hard work over the past few months. With that, she could buy a cozy house in town, invest in her mom’s retirement, and find a job to raise her child in peace.

Before she could say anything, she felt Dustin's complicated gaze on her as soon as she walked in. Was he pitying her? Confused, she hadn’t even spoken yet.

“Mr. Lynch?”

Dustin rubbed his forehead, his tone softening. “So, what's your plan with the baby?”

Emma shared her thoughts, a bit worried he might not agree, especially about keeping some money for herself. “Mr. Lynch, I hope you can consider all my hard work.”

Dustin's brows furrowed. He had never met anyone like Emma. She covered for the guy and asked for nothing, and even now, with her career on the line, she didn't complain.

“Emma, you’re making millions a month. Have you thought about how different life will be later? Someday, when you argue with your child, you might bring this up. The child would have to bear that guilt and blame. Have you thought about their feelings?”
