Chapter 638 - You failed (2) (1/2)
11 June, Matthew's Villa, City K
”More ammunition? Forget that, I can…”
”Do not think about causing trouble for our son. When it became known about our marriage the only thing that saved Dominic from being immediately thrown from the school because of the rules about children of military members, is the fact that we both attended the school as children before moving onto the single s.e.x senior schools, the donations both our families have made over the years and that when you graduated you were the top scorer in your year.”
”But…”
Lexi reached over carefully and touched Matthew's lips with her fingers before saying ”No buts. I will handle it, but I am happy for you to be there as support, if you are not in uniform. Your uniform will ensure Dominic has to look for a new school, and…”
”That is the last thing that either of us want, given he has his intense treatment phase coming up over the next couple of months.”
Lexi nodded and said ”He will go back to class where he has friends, and you know as well as I do from his paediatric oncologist, his recovery will be better with the minimal number of changes in his life. In other words, he needs to be settled and happy.”
”I know, but you have a lot on today…”
”Blame our son. No,” Lexi paused and shook her head and said ”Blame the terrorists who attached the mall and caused these injuries. If it were not for them, the other two things would not be an issue.”
Matthew smiled and said, ”Between you and I am working on that. We have some leads but nothing concrete currently.”
It then dawned on Matthew, ”You have and appointment at the base hospital. What time? I want to be there.”
Lexi laughed and said ”Being overprotective, are you? It is just a review of where my rehabilitation is at and planning the next couple of weeks with the physio. They both know, if possible, I want to be able to walk for Joan's wedding.”
Lexi put her hand up before Matthew could respond and added ”And before you say a thing, I am not stupid that I will be the one making any last-minute adjustments to Joan's dress. My body will not handle that, but I want to, with your help carefully walk into the church, rather than having to be pushed in a wheelchair.”
”Hopefully in something amazing?”
”You think I would wear anything shabby? I do have my standards, you know,” quipped Lexi in a mocking tone.
Matthew laughed. When it came to anything in public, it was obvious that Lexi would ensure that she wore the appropriate, well designed, and manufactured clothes. His wife the designed and businesswoman would use any chance she had to promote her business.
”I know, you see events like this as an opportunity to promote your business.”
”If I did not, what type of fashion entrepreneur would I be.”
Matthew smiled, leant over, and kissed her briefly on the lips before pulling back and looking Lexi directly in the eyes. Before either of them could say anything, they were interrupted by Matthew's secure ringing.
Matthew turned and picked up the mobile before glancing at the screen. Seeing that the number was Head Honcho, he immediately picked it up and as he sat up on the edge of the bed, he said ”What is it boss?”
