Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 1499

"Jack, I really wish you the best."

She lay in bed, looking so vulnerable and delicate.

Dustin took a deep breath, moving to the window to gaze out into the night.

"Thanks. I can't believe I'm lucky enough to have a son and a daughter."

Clare watched him, her eyes a mix of emotions.

"Yeah, you're really lucky."

Dustin stayed with her until the crack of dawn.

Once Clare was sound asleep, he headed back to his place.

He'd barely slept, but knowing Emma liked breakfast at eight, he put on an apron and got busy in the kitchen.

Emma came downstairs, hearing the sounds from the kitchen and rushed over, finding Dustin there.

Her throat felt tight, and she hesitated at the door.

Dustin, still in his apron, looked up, "Didn't catch some more sleep? Was the baby up last night?"

"Yeah."

He brought the breakfast he made to the table. "Dig in."

Emma nodded and sat down quietly.

Sensing her silence, Dustin walked up and hugged her from behind.

"Feeling down because of the baby? Want to go out for a bit?"

Emma hesitated before asking, "How's everything going online?"

She hadn't streamed since having the baby. The ordeal of giving birth and the weight loss would surely be noticeable on camera.

Fans were buzzing with theories about her secretly getting married.

"I had Stellar Stage Entertainment put out a statement saying you got married."

Emma froze, dreading her fans' reactions. Just as her streaming career was taking off, she'd vanished. They'd be disappointed.

She opened her mouth but couldn't find the right words, feeling a hollow ache inside.

She wanted to ask Dustin about the text from last night but just couldn't.

The rest of breakfast went by in silence.

Later, she got a text from an unknown number.
