Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1484

Clare's tears came pouring down, feeling like a complete mess. Here she was, facing rejection, and the worst part? She couldn't even find a word to defend herself.

Dustin was just that magnetic, the kind of guy who lingered in your mind long after he was gone. It was only after spending time with him that Clare realized just how unforgettable he truly was.

"Clare, I've said this to all my exes, and I'll say it again: once it's over, I never look back. Clinging to me won't change a thing. They've all met my expectations, earning a spot by my side. But you, you've been chasing me for three years, and I've turned you down every time because we don't see eye to eye. I live for the moment, and you're in it for the long haul."

Dustin's voice had a raspy edge to it, thanks to a cold. He grabbed a tissue to gently wipe away her tears.

"My exes and I moved on quickly, but I'm even more detached; I move on faster than they ever did."

Clare cried even harder, her minimal makeup smudging, but it only highlighted her natural beauty.

Dustin bent down a bit, lifting her chin softly with his fingers to wipe away her tears more thoroughly. "Go home."

He tossed the tissue in the trash and reached for some cold medicine. Just then, she wrapped her arms around him from behind, her voice still trembled from crying.

"Dustin, what if all I want is just one wild night?"

Dustin froze for a moment, swallowing the medicine as his throat eased.
