The Million-Dollar Heart novel 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.

Toward Jasper, it wasn't kinship but a gratitude that had to be repaid.

Toward Maddox, there was a vague sense of romance, yet she could not fully comprehend it.

She wasn't obsessed with being the Perez heiress like Diana, nor did she harbor an unswerving affection for someone like Vivienne did for Percival.

Even the most obtuse wouldn't be this clueless, right?

"What are you thinking about?"

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

Vivienne turned and leaned half against him, gesturing lazily toward the hospital room. "They're playing lovey-dovey in front of my mom."

Percival wrapped one arm around Vivienne's waist and sat down, planting her securely on his lap.

"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.

Half-leaning on Percival, Vivienne's bright eyes lifted slightly, reflecting his refined profile. "Mr. Wolf, something on your mind?"

Percival paused, not denying it. Vivienne always had a knack for detecting his worries.

He forked a piece of the cheesecake and offered it to her lips. "It's alright; today, I moved Flynn, and he asked about Grandpa's condition."

Vivienne didn't take the bite he offered. Instead, she took his wrist and guided the cake to his mouth.

Then, she wrapped her arms around Percival's neck, enveloping him in her embrace.

"Mr. Wolf, cheer up. I'm sharing my strawberry cheesecake with you."

Percival was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter.

If his Vivienne was willing to share her strawberry cheesecake, how could he afford to stay downcast?

"Yeah, I'm already happy."

Percival tilted his head back and gently pecked Vivienne's lips, a fleeting touch that didn't cross boundaries.

Some kisses convey deep love without the need for passion.

Just then, Maddox stepped out and caught this tender moment. He sighed heavily and sat down beside them.
