Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1305

King found himself drifting into memories of Brielle. She'd always been somewhat overlooked, had few friends, and was far from home. It seemed like all she wanted was to buy back Premier Palace, right? But the truth was, Premier Palace had never been sold. His reluctance to visit was purely selfish.

Would she be happier knowing Premier Palace was still theirs?

King wasn't sure, but he figured he'd better check with Brielle's best friend tomorrow.

The next morning came.

After making sure everything was set, King gave Isaac detailed instructions to keep a close watch on Brielle. Given her injury, it was crucial she stayed indoors.

Isaac silently walked King to the door, his demeanor calm but attentive.

"Alright, cricket, I'm off then," King said, trying to ease the tension.

Isaac nodded and waved goodbye.

King lingered for ten minutes, feeling uneasy about leaving Brielle alone for the first time in ages. But he knew he had to see Aubree.

Aubree was surprised when King reached out to her. As they sat in the café, her eyebrow arched when King asked his question.
