Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 938

Aubree had always been Brielle's rock, the Thelma to her Louise, and yet even her words couldn't sway Brielle's resolve.

With a sigh, Aubree patted her friend's back and handed her a bottle of water. "Here, rinse your mouth."

Brielle's reaction had been severe; she'd been retching until her eyes turned red. After rinsing, she finally managed to straighten up.

Aubree's heart ached at the sight, but she couldn't ignore the fact that Brielle had lost a noticeable amount of weight.

Why was this happening? Aubree had seen other pregnant women before, but Brielle's reaction was by far the most intense and her weight loss the most rapid. Could it be that Brielle's body just wasn't cut out for pregnancy? "Bri, let's have you sit down for a bit," Aubree suggested gently.

She helped Brielle back to the couch where they dove into the future plans of Stellar Stage Entertainment. Brielle even mapped out Aubree's work schedule, lining up movie roles to keep her busy till next year.
