Loving Mom 20

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

Sharon offered a faint smile. “I imagine if you offered anyone else hundred and fifty thousand a month to take care of him, they’d put in the effort.”

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.

Catching the cue, Sharon nodded. “I’ll wait downstairs with Wendy.”

She left the room with Wendy, gently pulling the door closed behind her.

As soon as she was gone, Xavier raised an eyebrow. “You’re sure it’s her?”

Gone was Matty’s lethargy. He straightened up. “Yeah. It’s her. I want her to be my mom.”

Xavier rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “If it were any other woman, could just throw some money her way–even if she had a husband or a kid, it wouldn’t be a big deal. But this one… she’s Carter Biggs’s wife. Not exactly someone you can just take.”
