A love confession

Author's Pov]

The moment Joshua walked in with Aime, Mathilda (Mattie) looked as though she had swallowed a raw eel - shocked. But why was this feeling of jealousy burning deeply in her? Surely, she hadn't nursed any evil plan for this woman but there she was, with her husband.

'Honey.' The endearing sound of her second name made her smile. He approached his wife and gave her a kiss.

Mattie was satisfied. It wasn't what she had thought. 'Not in front of Charlotte.'

'Well, she doesn't mind.' Joshua said, giving her a wink and hugging her tightly.

'I mind, father. I'm standing right here, aren't I?' Charlotte giggled as she went to get the cupcakes from the fridge.

Amie moved further to say hello. 'Sup, kid.'

A lovely smile played across her lips and Charlotte smiled but there was something else in her eyes that Charlotte couldn't understand.
