Vivienne glanced over and could not help but marvel.
"Damn, he's handsome!"
Mr. Wolf was not wrong; Flynn was a knockout!
He had that refined, aristocratic charm with just a hint of rebellion-undeniably attractive.
A different breed from Percival entirely.
But she still thought Mr. Wolf was the handsomest of them all.
That did not stop her from acknowledging Flynn's appeal, though.
"Gorgeous," Vivienne said, stars practically twinkling in her eyes.
There it was, her weakness for a pretty face had kicked in!
Isolde wrapped her arms around Vivienne's neck, her tiny finger pressed to her lips, "Shh, Percival can't hear you call another man handsome, though I admit, Uncle Flynn is quite a looker." Vivienne flipped to another photo—this one a selfie.
The girl in it was turned away, her back to Flynn, who was facing the camera, her hair cascading down like a waterfall.
Isolde peeked at the picture and said, "That's Uncle Flynn's girlfriend. I adore her hair-it's like a cascade."
Vivienne nodded, about to say more when Percival snatched the phone away.
His fingers danced over the screen, swiftly deleting Flynn from Cecilia's photo album.
Cecilia yelped, giving Percival a playful slap. "Hey, what are you doing deleting your uncle?!"
In a fit of jealousy, Percival plucked Isolde from Vivienne's embrace, swiped a few snack bags, and whisked Vivienne away.
Isolde stared at the half-empty snack bag and sighed like a tiny adult. "Boy, jealous men are scary."
