The Million-Dollar Heart

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?

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