Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 405

It was 3 a.m. when everything came to an end, and she was too exhausted to lift a finger.

Max scooped her up and headed towards the master bedroom. He was only wearing a robe. In her groggy state. Brielle couldn’t help but worry about being caught by someone. But as it turned out, they went unnoticed, and once she was laid on the bed in the bedroom, she fell into a deep sleep from sheer fatigue.

Max fetched a towel from the bathroom and gently wiped down her skin inch by inch. So when Brielle woke up the next day, she felt clean and refreshed all over.
