Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1465

Walking into the diner, Kailee held onto Lewis's arm like she was the queen bee, radiating with triumph.

"Oops, sorry we're late, everyone. Lewis had some last-minute data stuff to handle, and honestly, it was all Greek to me," she said, flashing a sweet smile.

Ruebin was floored seeing Lewis actually show up, and with Kailee hanging onto him, no less. The others were just as stunned. As Lewis settled in, with Kailee still glued to his side, she decided to rub it in a bit more, calling out to him in the most over-the-top affectionate way. "Honey, these are the girls I've been talking about. How about you treat us today?" she asked, her eyes gleaming with mischief.

Lewis's lips curled into a smile. "Sure thing."

Ruebin, sitting close to Kailee, felt a surge of disbelief and anger at her words. Could it really be? Had Kenzo gotten hitched this fast?

"Kenzo, did Kailee really dump you back then, and now you're married to her?" he asked, incredulous.

Kailee froze. If Lewis blurted out the truth now, she'd be the butt of tonight's jokes-even though they were married. Knowing Ruebin, he'd be hoping for a split just to swoop in and play the hero.

Lewis glanced at Kailee, noticing the guilt in her eyes, clearly worried her fib would come to light.
