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.

"Hey, where are you off to?"

If Irene wakes up and finds him gone, she's going to lose it. Given how smitten she's been with him lately, it'll be a while before she's over him. Usually, she's the one doing the dumping. It's rare to see a guy walk away from her.

"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."
