Loving Mom 20

Xavier pulled his gaze back, his voice quiet. “No. I just didn’t expect you to care so much about Matty.”

Wendy chimed in from the side, her eyes gleaming. “Exactly. Forget a hundred and fifty thousand–if you offered me fifteen thousand, I’d treat Matty like royalty.”

Xavier let out a soft laugh, the corners of his eyes crinkling. His peach–blossom eyes shimmered with quiet amusement.

“All right then. I’ll have someone send you all of Matty’s information shortly. Before I go, there are a few things I’d like to tell him,” he said, glancing at Matty.
