Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1545

"Babe, the doc said I'm pregnant."

Brielle had been over at Aubree's, trying to enjoy a meal when she first felt that something was off and suspected the news. Now, her face was a bit paler.

Max was quick to wrap her in warmth and concern, even offering to give her a piggyback ride out of the hospital. But Brielle just walked past him without a word. Max knew she was upset and quickly texted Isaac.

"Dude, your mom's expecting, but she's worried you might be bummed, so she's kinda freaking out."

Isaac read the message, his hand instinctively reaching for Little Noir, his stuffed toy. Two more Little Noirs sat in front of him. Why would he be upset about a baby? It'd mean a little buddy to play with, right?

He didn't have to wait long before Brielle and Max walked in. Brielle looked like she was carrying the weight of the world, while Max followed her like a guilty puppy.

Isaac felt a twinge of humility. If he ever got a girlfriend, he couldn't let himself be like this. He had to be the man of the house!

Isaac quickly made his way into the living room. Max was slicing up some fruit while Brielle sulked on the couch. She thought back to that night, tipsy and unable to resist. But Max had been sober, and he didn't use protection. Max brought over the fruit, showing a video on his phone. It showed her with a wine-flushed face and his voice in the background.
