Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1494

Her eyes, as blue as a clear sky, were filled with warmth for Dustin as she gently took his hand and placed it on her cheek.

"Do I look like I've lost some weight?" she asked softly.

"Not at all, you're still as stunning as ever," he replied with a smile.

Clare chuckled lightly, "Honestly, can you stay here with me for a couple of days?"

Dustin's brow furrowed a bit, but the sight of the scar on her neck, a chilling reminder from the doctor that she had been just inches from death, tugged at his heartstrings. "Alright," he agreed.

Clare's smile widened, her gaze never leaving his.

Dustin settled into a chair, his phone buzzing at that moment with a message from Emma.

"The baby just kicked! Feels like it knows it's almost time to make an entrance."

A grin spread across Dustin's face as he read her message.

"The due date's just a week away. I'll be back in two days," he texted back.

Emma nodded to herself, then realized he couldn't see her nodding, so she quickly typed a reply.

"Okay."

Dustin was about to ask if she'd been eating well and if they had any names picked out for a boy.

But just then, Clare playfully snatched his phone and leaned in, pressing a kiss to his lips.

"Are you busy with work?" she teased, her voice soft as she nestled into his arms.
