The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 728

Richard was just about to chime in with Finnian's train of thought when Maddox, seizing the chance to divert Fredrick's razor-sharp glares from himself, interjected casually, "Hold up, Finnian. That's not quite right. Our Vivienne's just a young thing; babies are a ways off for her."

"Exactly, my point! Vivienne's only twenty. What's this rush about kids?" Jasper nodded approvingly at his third son, waving his hand dismissively, "They should focus on their careers for now. Children can wait a few more years."

Finnian is spouting nonsense again!

The family had only just reclaimed their precious lost lamb, and the score for whisking her away without so much as a by-your-leave hadn't been settled yet. They couldn't let Percival get too smug about it! Leopold, shoveling down his food, glanced from one to another, then at Vivienne, whose cheeks were tinted with a fresh bloom of red.

Struck by a sudden inspiration, he blurted out, "But hey, they're already hitched. Having kids is just a matter of time, and I bet any child of Vivienne and Percival's will be a real looker, even prettier than the two of them."

Silence fell like a curtain as he finished speaking. All eyes converged on Leopold.

Leopold shivered, “Did I, uh, say something wrong?"

Richard was the first to recover, "Wrong? Absolutely not. You nailed it, buddy. I'm right there with you, Leopold!"

Jasper opened his mouth to argue, but his brain, traitorously, continued along Leopold's line of thought.

Well, it did make a sort of sense.

Their Vivienne was a dead ringer for Sasha, a real beauty, and that Ellington boy wasn't too hard on the eyes either.

Wouldn't their child be the cutest kid on the planet?

Jasper's eyes sparked to life in an instant.

Meanwhile, a few aunts and uncles stared at their suddenly swayed father, on the verge of tears.
