29 May, Matthew''s villa, City K


    Lexi started to open her mount but paused for a few seconds. Matthew was right. Dominic was Dominic was very happy today and tonight. As she sat with him as he did the small amount of homework he had, all he could talk about was how fun it was to see his Uncle Warren. Was there something to be said about Dominic, in a controlled environment spending time with Dominic?


    "What do you mean?"


    Sighing Matthew said "I am not stupid Lexi. You hate him, and do not want him around Dominic, so I struck a deal with him. He can come one afternoon a week, spend time here with Dominic and have a meal with us. My suggestion was in a weeks time, subject to your confirmation. I can make the arrangements for another day and shied you from him if that is what you want. But my view is let it happen."


    Lexi closed her eyes and said, "I am not happy about that Matthew."


    Leaning over Matthew gentle kissed Lexi on the cheek before saying "How about we see what Dominic wants. Keeping him happy and content must be our priority. We have both seen the impacts of a cancer battle on Phillip, and we know Dominic has that him ahead of him. Despite seeing what Phillip has gone through, do you really think he totally understands what is ahead of him?"


    "No. Phillip, at least with his battle is putting a brave public face up, so Dominic seems to think that he will fly through it was Phillip has. He cannot recall how Phillip was with his earlier two battles."


    "But we have an idea. If we are realistic, we want Dominic to be as happy as he can, because that will make what to come easier. If that means Warren Gong, then so be it. I know you will not like that attitude, but…"


    Lexi reached up and touched her fingers to his lips, stopping Matthew mid-sentence. Lexi looked directly into his eyes and said "You know I will not be happy, but you are right presently we need to put aside what we will not be happy with, what we hate, and focus on Dominic. Despite all the reassurances from the medical team, you and I are both realistic that we cannot guarantee that he will recover. He needs happy memories to take him through all the bad times."


    Sensing the words in her eyes, Matthew added "Warren Gong is to be on a short leash. Absolutely. He will not be here unless one of us are, and any time with Dominic will be here, and supervised, by someone. Despite all his reassurances about not being involved in his sisters plans, I do not trust that that is the case."


    Smiling Lexi said "Thank you for being understanding."


    "Lexi, there is no need. That I will do. You know I trust you and will to the best of my ability give you and Dominic my all. If that means I have to take a side I will, but I will try and do that in a way that is the best for all of us."


    Nodding, Lexi added "Find our what Dominic wants, please. As I was so exhausted I could not remain and finish supervising him complete his homework. Could you…"


    "Go and check on him. I will. And, to easy your mind I will ask him what he wants with respect to Warren Gong?"


    Matthew leaned over and gently kissed Lexi on the forehead, and then the lips, before adding "Rest."


    Seeing Lexi close her eyes, Matthew stood up and careful not to disturb her left their suite and headed towards Dominic''s room. As he opened the door, Matthew observed Dominic laying on the floor on his stomach feet in the air and gently kicking as he was reading the book on the floor in front of him. Dominic was absorbed in the book, to the extent he had not even realised Matthew had walked in.


    Matthew, after watching Dominic for a couple of minutes coughed and said "Dominic, can we talk?"


    Startled, Dominic rolled onto his side and saw Matthew. He quickly jumped to his feet and angrily said "This is my room why are you here?"


    "Dominic, this is your bedroom, but you and I need to talk for a couple of minutes. Do not give me that attitude or I will not make the arrangements I was going to talk to you about."


    Matthew observed the moment Dominic was intrigued by his words, and rather than the aggression he has just shown, he relaxed slightly and promptly said "I have done my homework, if that is what you came to check on. Do you want to check?"


    Matthew shook his head and moved further into the room before saying "There is no need Dominic. If you say you have done it, buy trust that your word is correct. That was not why I came in. After you came up here, I spoke to your Uncle Warren about things."


    "It was fun seeing Uncle Warren Daddy Matthew. Much better than spending time with you and Mummy."


    "That might be Dominic, but don''t let your Mummy hear you say that. In talking to your Uncle Warren, he told me you asked to spend some more time with him. Is that right?"


    "You have to ask. I want to spend time with anybody other than you and Mummy."


    Matthew could tell that Dominic was wanting a reaction. Rather than reacting as he felt Dominic wanted him to Matthew said "If you would like to do that Dominic, it can be arranged. But like anything that you want there is a condition or two on that. Firstly, you need to do your homework. That is nonnegotiable. The other condition is that you do not display the attitude you have just displayed to me to your Mummy. It will upset her and that is a line I do not want you to cross. If you can promise me those two things, I can arrange for your Uncle Warren to come here once a week to spend some time and have an early tea with us."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-soldier-husband_15095783406874805/not-happy-matthew-(2)_50411686946990638 for visiting.


    "Can it not be more?" came a pleading reply from Dominic.


    "No guarantees Dominic. Your Uncle Warren runs a business just like your Mummy does, just like your Uncle Phillip does, and just like your Uncle Andrew does. They cannot always guarantee that they are free to do things too frequently."


    Dominic sighed, and said "Fine, but can you ask him if we can do it more regularly?"


    Not wanting to upset either Dominic or Lexi, Matthew said "I will ask your Mummy and I won''t ask your Uncle Warren but no promises."
