Master of his heart ( Brielle And Max ) novel Chapter 504

Chapter 504 

Max could be honest with anyone about his relationship with Brielle, but with Martha, it was a different story. 

Martha was on new medication, and the doctors had warned that she couldn’t handle any shocks. Spilling the beans now could exacerbate her condition and render all their efforts futile. 

She looked pale, her grip on Alivia’s hand gentle but firm. “I called Alivia over to keep me company,” she said, patting her hand. “She asked if you’d be coming by. Max. Have you two had a falling out?” 

Max frowned but kept his temper in check. “You’ve had your shot, Mom. You should rest.”

Max remained silent, curious about what she was trying to convey. 

Alivia took a deep breath, her gaze earnest. “I’m not a good person. We’ve grown

“I heard she was pregnant, and you didn’t even know about the child. This makes me despise her even more. To me, she’s no different from those women trying to rise through social classes using their children. That’s why I’ve been looking for ways to push her out, and I’ve done some foolish things.” 

As she spoke, her voice choked up. “We’ve known each other for over a decade. I’ve been chasing your shadow since we were kids. Even if I can’t be with you, I’ve always treated you like family.
