The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 664

Outside, Vivienne wasn’t eavesdropping on the conversation; she just happened upon it quite by chance.

Who would have thought that Maddox, the proverbial prodigal son, would be so out of his depth in front of Willa?

Their chat was all kinds of odd.

Peering through the glass, Vivienne observed Willa.

Willa seemed oblivious to matters of the heart as if she had no clue what feelings really were.

“What are you thinking about?”

Behind her, Percival suddenly appeared, carrying a box of strawberry cheesecake.

“No, they haven’t fallen for each other yet. There’s no lovey.”

Vivienne chuckled. “If Uncle Maddox heard you say that, he would hold a grudge.”

“It’s alright, we’re family.” Percival rested his chin on Vivienne’s shoulder, threading his hands around her waist to untie the box of strawberry cheesecake.

His hands, pale and slender, stood out starkly against the cheesecake, dazzling.
