Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1281

Brielle was already awake, thinking King had come back, but when she turned, she found Isaac lying next to her instead. Her body went rigid, a wave of nervousness crashing over her. She had never shared a bed with a child before. What if she accidentally kicked off the blankets and he caught a cold? What if she rolled over him in her sleep?

Her mind raced with worries, but looking at that tiny face, so much like Max's, a surge of affection washed over her. Still, Brielle didn't dare move, as if she were paralyzed.

Luckily, Isaac was fast asleep. If he were awake, he'd be just as uneasy as Brielle, both unsure how to handle the situation. Brielle's breathing relaxed, and soon enough, she drifted off to sleep.

In another room, King was clueless that he had mixed up two glasses of warm milk and was still waiting for Isaac to return. After half an hour with no sign of him, King's brows furrowed in confusion. Could delivering a glass of milk take this long?

He stood up and went back to the master bedroom, only to find Brielle and Isaac asleep, their heads touching. His heart melted at the sight.

He stood there, not moving, his heart aching from the sheer beauty of the moment. King couldn't resist capturing this scene with his phone, thinking it would make the perfect wallpaper.

But as he lifted his phone, Brielle's eyes fluttered open, and she muttered, "The bed's not big enough, find somewhere else to sleep."

All the warmth and beauty of the moment vanished.
