Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309 

But let’s face it, a woman’s strength just doesn’t stack up against a man’s. She struggled for a bit, then gave in, allowing herself to be gently placed in the passenger seat. 

Max even did the chivalrous thing and buckled her in, just like in the old days. The gesture brought them so close they could hear each other’s breathing. 

Brielle was the first to look away, fixing her gaze on the road ahead. “I need to get back to Pearl Estate.” 

“Alright.” 

Max settled into the driver’s seat and was about to hit the gas when his phone dinged with a new message. It was from Andrew. [I’m at Premier Palace, why aren’t you here?] 

Max frowned and ignored it, gliding the car smoothly out of the underground parking. 

The air was thick with silence between them. Brielle, unable to stand the suffocating quiet and unsure of Max’s intentions, rolled down her window.

What if she fell in love with him? 

Her words reached his ears, light and breezy. “So Mr. Noah’s got a thing for Alivia, and is this all to get back at her by messing with me?” 

Knowing where Max’s heart lay, she reverted to the old Brielle. There was no need to play small in front of him, as they were never meant to be. She ripped away the pretense, exposing her true feelings. 

Out of the corner of her eye, she watched for his reaction. As expected, his brow furrowed at her words. “Alivia and I go way back, same with her brother – a lifelong friend. She wouldn’t stoop to using such tactics.”

Brielle chuckled softly, turning to gaze out the window. Right, when someone disappointed you, they wouldn’t do it just once? 

They were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were kids. And her? She was nothing. Not even a passerby in his life, at best a fleeting breeze at Mr. Dorsey’s fingertips, gone with a wave of his hand. 

After that, Brielle fell silent and stayed silent all the
