Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1461

Lewis stared at her for what felt like ages, noticing the same innocence in her eyes he'd always seen, leaving him a bit at a loss for words. Her grasp on love was still pretty foggy, and when it came to the whole men and women thing, she was just as clueless. To her, it was simply something people did together, and as long as it felt right, it didn't have to be exclusive to just couples.

Lewis rubbed his forehead, clearly frustrated. Meanwhile, Kailee took the chance to sneak a pastry off the tray. Lewis lightly smacked her hand away.

"Kailee, you still don't get it," he said.

"Lewis-" she started.

"Just go," he interrupted, his voice cool as he tossed the tray into the trash without a second thought.

Kailee's heart sank. What a waste! Why couldn't she have just a nibble if it was already made? And now, it was just thrown away?

Taking a deep breath, she felt a wave of frustration wash over her. After being kept up so late last night, her throat was sore, and she just wanted something to eat. But he tossed it out like it was nothing.
