Female Novel
Chapter 798
"Master Collins, what are you talking about? What kind of people do you think we are? How can you accuse us of teaming up? I just found out about this."
Geoffrey smiled merrily. He reached out and patted Jarold's chest, and his voice softened as he coaxed Master Collins.
"Humph." Master Collins snorted coldly and pushed his hand away. "I don't believe in you. You're such a bad boy. Did you teach him this?"
Hearing what he said, Geoffrey widened his eyes instantly and shook his head to deny. "No, no. You know Sebastian's character. How could I control his thoughts?"
Then, Jarold narrowed his eyes when he heard what Geoffrey said. He looked towards Maddox.
Although they hadn't spent much time together, Sebastian's temper was indeed like what Geoffrey had said. Even though he had amnesia, his temper hadn't changed. He was still stubborn.
He couldn't change the things he was born with.
Then, Jarold thought of his eldest daughter.
Back then... Aurora was also as stubborn as him.
She refused to obey his orders and insisted on what she thought was right. That was why she ended up this way.
When he thought of Aurora, the look in Jarold's eyes became wistful.
This daughter of his had truly hurt him.
Thus, Jarold's gaze on Maddox was no longer so strict. Instead, he said tiredly, "You two brats, get the hell out of here. I want to be alone for a moment."
"Master Collins, are you alright? How about I stay and talk this through with you?" Geoffrey said.
"An old man like me doesn't need advice from a boy like you. Get out of here."
As he spoke, Jarold raised his cane to indicate that he was going to hit them. Hence, Geoffrey had no choice but to retreat instantly.
Maddox stood up as well, and his gaze fell on Jarold. He said faintly, "Then we'll leave first. Grandpa, please take care of your health."
"Humph." Jarold snorted coldly and turned his head away. He did not answer Maddox.
After Geoffrey followed Maddox out of the room, he spoke after they had walked some distance away.
"What does he mean? Is Master Collins going to respect your wishes?"
Maddox did not reply, but his brows furrowed subconsciously. He was afraid that things were not as simple as he thought. Jarold's idea wasn't some spur-of-the-moment thing.
Since it was not a passing idea, he wouldn't give up so easily. From the look on Jarold's face just now, it seemed that he had thought of something else and did not want to talk about it for the time being.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Don't tell me you're not worried at all? What if he really gets you engaged to Monica?" Geoffrey said.
Maddox's steps stopped abruptly, and he coldly lifted his eyes, "You should leave."
Geoffrey said, "What do you mean? I'm talking about such an important topic, but you're asking me to go?"
"Can you change my grandpa's mind?"
"Well, it seems that I can't. Forget it. I'd better leave," Geoffrey said.
After saying that, he turned around and walked in the other direction while muttering, "I'll go back and talk to Minerva."novelbin
"Wait." Maddox's cold voice came from behind.
Geoffrey stopped in his tracks and looked back in displeasure. "What for? Didn't you tell me to leave?
Anything else?"
"Don't you dare bother her."
Geoffrey snorted. His impatient expression turned amused. "You've finally revealed yourself? You can't help but want to make fun of me?"
Realizing that his eyes suddenly became cold and harsh, Geoffrey took a few steps back immediately and said, "Well, I won't make fun of you. You're just going to hold everything in your heart, right? Then don't ever let it out. I'm leaving."
Geoffrey left Sebastian's house quickly. Maddox walked in the direction of his room. When he entered the bathroom, he paused and remembered the clothes that he had put on earlier...
He had left it at Minerva's house.
The weekend passed quickly.
After resting for two days, Minerva's body was no longer so tired and her calves were no longer swollen. She had only been delayed for two days, but the work had piled up so much that she didn't even have the chance to sit down and take a breath. Content belongs to smvovel.net
When she finished her work, she was too tired to go downstairs to eat. Then, she just collapsed on the sofa as she pretended to be a corpse.
When Linda saw her like this, she couldn't help but laugh at her. "You don't have much stamina, do you? You've only been busy for a morning and you can't walk now?"
Upon hearing this, Minerva felt a little embarrassed. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Linda. I'm really tired. I just want to rest for a while."
"It's lunch hour now. You can take a rest whenever you like. If you're lacking stamina, you should try jogging to train yourself."
"Okay, Linda. I'll keep it in mind," Minerva replied.
When Linda left, she closed the door of the secretary's office behind her. Minerva lied on the sofa, motionless, and closed her eyes tiredly.
Since she fell pregnant, she became sleepy very easily and tiredness was common.
However, ever since Maddox had the accident, her condition had disappeared. Even though she was so sleepy until her eyelids closed on their own, she was still able to hold on.
Whether she was taking care of the company for him or working here, she had gone through it all.
Thankfully, she finished her work at 11 o'clock and managed to have two or three hours of rest. She did not have to go home immediately and she could sleep a little longer after her meal.
Minerva fell asleep with thoughts heavy on her mind, not knowing that the door of the secretary's room had been pushed open and someone had come in.
Meanwhile, Geoffrey was here for Minerva. Everyone was on their lunch break. When he arrived, so he could only look for Minerva in the canteen. After waiting for twenty minutes, he still couldn't see Minerva. When he saw Lolita, he stopped her and asked her about Minerva, but Lolita did not see her as well. Content belongs to smvovel.net
Thus, Geoffrey had to go upstairs to look for her. When he opened the door of the secretary's office, he saw a figure curled up on the sofa.
"Minerva! Wake up!" He shouted.
In her sleep, Minerva seemed to hear someone calling her. The voice was soft and it echoed in her ears. However, her eyelids were too heavy and she could not open them. She was so dazed and confused that she didn't know whether it was reality or a dream. Content belongs to smvovel.net
"Wake up, Minerva. I'm taking you to meet Sebastian."
Sebastian...
Who was Sebastian?
"It's such a good opportunity. Don't miss it. Stop sleeping, Minerva..."
He stretched out his index finger and poked her arm several times. Minerva's sleepiness was finally driven away. She opened her eyes slowly and saw Geoffrey's amused face looking at her curiously.
"Minerva, are you finally awake?"
Seeing her open her eyes, Geoffrey put on a big smile.
"Ah!"
Minerva finally came to her senses. She reacted with a startled cry and flung her hand at Geoffrey's face directly.
