章 257: A hint of Lexi's secret

12 April, Matthew's Villa, City K

As she walked into the casual dining area, with Dominic trailing behind her Lexi observed Matthew who looked up from the papers he was reading as they entered the room.  Spotting Matthew, Dominic quickly ran past Lexi and threw himself at Matthew, saying "Can I have a hug please Daddy Matthew?"

Immediately Lexi observed Matthew place the papers in his hand down beside his plate before gathering Dominic into his arms, saying with a chuckle, "You do not have to ask Dominic.  If you want a hug, you can have one.  Just like your mummy."

"But Mummy does not seem to want them Daddy Matthew."

Lexi saw Matthew directly look at her before saying "Dominic, your Mummy knows she does not need to ask, and has hugs whenever she wants them.  Just because you do not see them does not mean that they do not happen."
