Loving Mom 347

Chapter 347

Matty was the future heir of the Cooper family. If he couldn’t even handle conflicts with a few kids, then maybe he wasn’t fit to

be an heir at all.

This was exactly why Xavier had never once stepped in-not even when he saw Matty come home bruised because of Theo.

His way of raising Matty had its upsides and downsides. As far as grooming an heir went, it worked. But emotionally… it was
