Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1384

Evening had fallen over Tequila Sunset, a local hangout bathed in the warm glow of neon lights. Inside, King had gathered a diverse group: Dustin, Andrew, Keiran, Bryan, and Jaired. Not everyone knew each other, but they all knew King. Andrew sat alone in a corner, arms crossed, watching the group. He was a stark contrast to the chatty Max from the past.

King shared an idea, his eyes hopeful as they landed on Dustin. "Bro, what do you think about this proposal plan?"

Dustin, resting his head on his hand, frowned. The plan seemed a bit cliché to him, which made everyone turn their eyes to Bryan, the only one with marriage experience.

The rest of the guys fell silent, especially Jaired, who looked like he'd strangle Irene if he could reach through the phone.

Bryan, blushing under their stares, mumbled, "I should head back. Irene's alone, and I'm worried. Sorry, King, I can't help you."
