Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 444

Chapter 444 

Andrew couldn’t fathom how someone like Max, who he thought was oblivious to matters of the heart, could possess such insight. It was trueMax wasn’t wellversed in emotions, but he had eyes that saw clearer than most

Society had always been harsh on women, especially within the elite echelons, where it seemed a woman’s role was to fawn over men

Within such circles, infidelity in married men was so commonplace it barely raised eyebrows. Elders would advise the women to be patient, assuring them that the wandering husbands would return home once the novelty wore off. A wife who couldn’t accept such behavior was labeled as lacking understanding

Flip the script, however, and a woman who strayed was considered unforgivable, a stain on male pride. Her husband wouldn’t hesitate to kick her to the curb and find another

For Max, when it came to Brielle, there were no such calculations of what should be or questions of dignity. The array of emotions Brielle stirred in him was novel, yet not unwelcome. She made him feel enriched in ways he hadn’t known, but also more wanting

Max was high above everyone else, but he never demanded Brielle to stand on tiptoes to reach him

After a long silence, Andrew couldn’t contain himself. Max, what you feel for Brielleis it affection, or love?” 

The difference was monumental

Andrew would go to the ends of the earth for Tessa because he loved her. But Max and Brielle had only known each other for a short time

Max was stumped by the question, It’s affection,he said after a brief hesitation

Love was a word too heavy to utter lightly. To Max, it was more burdensome than the world, a promise of devotion to life and death

Relieved by Max’s response, Andrew thought it was good that for men, affection was a shallow thing. Something so easily drowned in a few extra beers or cast aside after meeting a few new faces

Andrew’s lips curled into a small smile. It seemed Max regarded Brielle simply as a canary. And there was no shame in trying to win the favor of a canary

Getting Brielle to like you is easy.Andrew said. She grew up in an orphanage, starved of attention and love. Women fall in love through their earsthey just want to hear sweet nothings. Compliment her often, spend time with her, and keep the gifts coming.” 

Max only glanced at Andrew’s advice, recognizing his friend’s tactics with Tessa

But Brielle was not Tessa

Kenzo joined the conversation. Max, your mother just returned to the States, and she’s quite chummy with my sister. If Brielle has feelings for you, she’ll be influenced by that. How about thisin a week, some of our friends are heading to a vacation lodge for a barbecue. It will be a blast, and since Brielle’s new to Beaconsfield, she could use some friends her age. It could. bring you two closer.” 

Such gatherings were common among the young and affluent set, a chance to build connections that could lead to strategic marriages. But Max had never shown interest before

Kenzo lifted his glass with a smirk. Don’t worry, I’ll vet the invitees. No loose lips.” 

Max finally loosened up. He didn’t mind his relationship with Brielle being exposed; he would do his best to protect her from harm. However, the purpose of Brielle hiding the rosary was very clear. She temporarily did not want their relationship to be public

He respected her wishes
