Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 658

Everyone was silent.

Such a sudden remark stunned everyone present at the meeting.

Even Sam, who was next to him, was taken aback for a moment. Then he looked at Maddox withpanic in his eyes and whispered, "Young Master Yardley..."

One of the senior shareholders adjusted his glasses and looked at Maddox, "Young Master Yardley,what did you just say? Please say it again. I didn't quite catch it the first time."

Maddox's mind was filled with thoughts of buying gifts for his son, so he blurted out naturally.

"What do kids like?"

Most of the people in this meeting were middle- aged men. Some of them were old enough to havechildren and grandchildren, but they were not yet retired.

They were all fathers or grandfathers. They had many children in their families, so they must knowwhat children liked.

One of the middle-aged men looked at the person next to him. Both had disbelief in their eyes.

"Why was Maddox asking what children would like in a meeting?"

Why would he ask such a question that had nothing to do with work? However, they were allbusinessmen. What hadn't they seen before?

After looking at each other for a while, they soon reacted.

One of them asked, "Young Master Yardley, are you looking to buy a gift for a child?"

"Yes," Maddox pursed his lips and nodded, frowning.

"I know the answer. Children generally like cute things. You can't go wrong there."

"Cute?" Maddox was confused. He squinted his eyes and asked, "For example?"

"For example, dolls or toys. If not, maybe building blocks. There's a variety now. My wife often buysthem for my daughter."

Maddox was speechless.

Daughter.

Suddenly, he felt it was not a bad idea to have a daughter, but... Minerva had a son.

"Wait a minute, we haven't made things clear yet. Why are you giving him suggestions already?"

Seeing that Maddox was interested, everyone wanted to pitch in. The meeting turned into acompetition to suck up to him.

"May I ask, is the gift you want for a boy or a girl? There is a big difference between what boys andgirls like. If you get the wrong gift, that would be embarrassing."

"Yes," Maddox nodded in agreement. "A boy."

"If it's for a boy, you can give him toy models as a gift."

"Toy models?"

Maddox was no stranger to this word, but... he hadn't realized that children could play with them aswell.

"I'm talking about the kind specially designed for children. For boys, they are usually cheekier. Theylike different things from girls, like gaming devices and race cars."

"Young Master Yardley, our family usually..."

Everyone started giving their own suggestions and speaking over each other. Maddox grimaced atthe noise and pursed his lips.

After a while, he shouted.

"Sam."

"Huh?"

Sam, who suddenly had his name called, was a little out of it so he answered 'huh' subconsciously.

But soon, he got up and walked to Maddox.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

Maddox glanced at him and pursed his lips. "Write down what they are saying."

Sam looked at him incredulously.

"Assistant Sorrento, I was just saying how..."

They began to argue again, fighting to be the first to speak. It was obviously a meeting room forhigh-level officials, but they seemed more like rowdy shop owners yelling in a market.

Sam had never even heard of some of the things they were saying. He took down the names of allthe suggestions until his hand went numb.

He then handed the page to Maddox after he was done with it.

"Sir, this is what I took down earlier."

Maddox nodded with satisfaction when he saw a full page.

"Okay, make a list and buy all of them."

"Do you really want to buy everything? What are you..."

"I'm buying a gift for my son, why?" Maddox raised his eyebrows and asked coldly.

Sam's lips trembled as if he had heard something extraordinary.

"Is there a problem?" Maddox's eyes were already flashing with displeasure.

Sam shook his head.

"Not a problem. I will go and get them right away. You want everything right? Don't worry, you cancount on me!"

Although Sam felt that it was ridiculous, he still did as told. There were many things in the list thatwere the same thing, just under different brands. But since Maddox gave him an instruction, he didnot dare to go against it.

After the meeting, everyone was busy discussing what just happened by the elevator.

"What's been going on with Young Master Yardley for the past two days?"

"I was wondering the same thing. I've been away from the company for a few days. As soon as Icame back, I saw him answering a call in a meeting, and now he even asked us what children like?Do you guys think he's thinking of buying it for his own son?"

"I doubt it, right? I've never heard anyone mention him having a son."

"Um, maybe it's for a niece or nephew."

"I have never seen him interact with anyone..."

"Maybe he really does have a son?"

The group of people looked at each other. When they saw Sam pass by, they hurried to catch upwith him, "Assistant Sorrento, what's up with Young Master Yardley these days? It's not a big dealthat he's hardly around anymore, but our meeting keeps hanging."

"Yeah, is Young Master Yardley planning to let go of such a big corporation like YardleyCorporation?"

Hearing these words, Sam could not help but stop. His face was helpless as he looked at them.novelbin

"As you said, how could he let go of such a big company? Besides, there hasn't been any problemslately, right?"

Everyone thought about what he said and nodded subconsciously.

"Indeed, nothing is wrong."

"Assistant Sorrento, we're not questioning Young Master Yardley's ability. We're just curious. Doeshe have a son?"

Sam didn't know how to respond.

He pinched his lips together and looked up.

The look in his eyes was faint, "If you want to know so badly, why don't you ask him yourself?"

The man who asked the question scratched his head. As if he would have the courage to ask YoungMaster Yardley. He wasn't trying to cause trouble.

"Since you don't dare to ask, don't ask me. If you are afraid, I am also afraid!" After saying this, Samwent into the elevator.

When the elevator door closed, the group of people had not yet come back to their senses, so Samtook the elevator down alone. He looked at the wall of the elevator and whispered to himself, "Whywould he ask me? I don't know much. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell. I really didn't expect a group of oldmen to be this nosy."

Sam followed Maddox's instructions and bought everything on the list. After buying everything, herealized that he could not fit everything into his car.

As such, he could only send things directly to Maddox's house using a delivery service.

Maddox stood there expressionlessly when he saw the car.

"That's it?"

Sam nodded and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "It's all here. Sir, what do you want to do with it?"
