Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1362

Bryan was still clutching his jacket, standing in the foyer, changing his shoes.

Jaired caught a glimpse of him and felt a sudden wave of unease.

"I'm leaving," Bryan said, his tone flat as he set down his keys, tossing them into the key dish nearby.

Jaired shot to his feet, his heart clenching.

"Leaving? Why not take Irene with you? You know she's pretty fond of you."
