Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1451

"Kailee, you've got a boyfriend now?"

Kailee nodded, a smug smile lighting up her face.

"It's not him. King's wife is actually a good friend of mine now, so don't go spreading rumors. My boyfriend is someone else entirely. Anyway, I gotta head back. He's waiting for me at home and will get mad if I'm late." What a load of nonsense. She'd been chasing after King for years, just to be constantly overlooked.

And when King did show up, it was usually a one-sided thing, leaving Kailee hanging out with Isaac instead.

Running after him only to end up playing stepmom to Isaac, who turned out to be just as heartless.
