Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 621
Brielle was a great listener, sometimes an excellent one when the moment called
for it. Last night, she had been wrapped in the embrace of such a deep sleep. It
felt like she was under some kind of enchantment, dreaming away in the soft
comfort of her bed.
Aubree had gone through a rough patch, something that should have left Brielle
tossing and turning with insomnia, steeped in sorrow. Yet upon waking, Brielle felt
energized, her body buzzing with strength as if some guardian angel had
watched over her through the night.
She grew more determined to stand up for Aubree and make sure everyone
responsible paid a steep price.
“My grandma's getting on in years,” Dustin began with a wry smile at the corner
of his mouth. “Last night, she woke up all of a sudden and told us she'd been to
visit my sister.”
“Over two decades ago, my sister got left behind by accident when my parents
were fleeing from some bad blood back home. It's been a thorn in my mom's side
ever since, a regret that my grandma carries with her. Their health has been
declining, day after day. Mom can put on a brave face, but grandma, well, age
has made her heart heavy. She gets so melancholy thinking about it. It's taken a
toll on her. We even built a quaint little chapel on the Lynch family estate. She's
been praying there for my aunt's safety ever since. Lately, she’s been bedridden,
hardly awake. We've been searching for my sister, but there’s been a lot of
resistance, especially once word got out. Various powers that be are trying to
stop us.”
Dustin's long fingers spun his glass, his eyelashes casting shadows on his
cheeks. “We've never found her. Last night, after my grandma woke from one of
her deep sleep, she told us she'd been to see my aunt in a grand house
somewhere. But her sight isn’t what it used to be, and he couldn't tell where it
was. She said my sister wasn't happy, that her new family wasn't treating her
well, and that we must find her. We're scared it might be my grandma's last
hurrah, you know? The doctor said she had a year, but at this rate, she might not
make it that long. Grandma's always been fiercely independent. If it weren't for
my aunt going missing, she wouldn't be in this state.”
“Mr. Lynch, maybe your grandma did indeed visit your sister in person.” Brielle
looked at the glass in front of her, feeling a tug at her heartstrings. After all, she
had never experienced what they call family ties. “Souls are eternal, and love
transcends time and space. They just haven't realized it yet.”

Eternal souls. Love that crosses the
Dustin savored those words, a faint smile tracing his lips. “I hope
Brielle couldn't bring herself to ask Dustin for help. Instead, she poured him
another drink.
The meal started with a somber atmosphere but gradually became more relaxed.
Brielle never got drunk in public. Even when she met with business partners,
she'd carefully monitor her intake, but tonight, her conversation with Dustin
flowed more freely.
They both drank a bit more than usual and by the end, their eyes were glazed
with the haze of alcohol.
As closing time approached, the waiter fretted over the two tipsy patrons
slumped over the table. The bill was not yet settled.
Just as she pondered whether to wake one of them, a hand extended a card.
“Check, please.”
The waiter followed the hand to a face that took his breath away. Her cheeks
flushed as he hurriedly processed the payment.
The two had polished off three bottles of the strongest liquor.
“Sir, your total comes to twenty—seven thousand. It's been taken care of. Please
keep your card safe.”
Max pocketed the card and approached Brielle while Patrick stood by Dustin.
Max scooped Brielle up in his arms and instructed Patrick, “Take him to the
hotel.”
After all, Dustin was the president of Infinity Brilliance, and he had lent a hand
during Max's feigned amnesia episode.

Both of them had indeed indulged too much in the drink, and their clothes were
reeking of alcohol.
Max hadn't exploded in anger, knowing Brielle had been bottling up her emotions
all day.
