Chapter 832
Geoffrey was truly a loudmouthAfter sitting down, he began to speak non-stop.
"Collins, Jarold has already called me. I think he's determined to have you engaged to Monica. Furthermore, I feel that he's even starting to suspectyou. What are you going to do next?”
As he spoke, he winked at Minerva
Minerva didn't know what Geoffrey was up to. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have brought this up.
But Geoffrey acted as though he had done it on purpose. After speaking, he pursed his lips. "I can't let Minny suffer all the time like you do, can I?"As he finished his words, Maddox's hand stopped. He slowly raised his head and looked at Geoffrey with his eagle eyes.
"What are you trying to say?"
Geoffrey curled his lips and spread out his hands. "I'm just worried for you guys. You know how influential Jarold is. If he finds out that you don't wantto engage with Monica because of Minny. then.." He didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone knew what would happen.
Geoffrey didn't mean to say that in front of Minerva. He was afraid that Minny would chicken out. But it was different now. He and Minerva had alreadytalked it out
He knew many of her secrets, even about her and Collin's past.So he could speak without filtering and say whatever he wanted to say.novelbin
However, the frown on Maddox's face became tighter because of his words. While he wanted to deal with the things quietly, Geoffrey chose to make itclear.
Minerva was taking food and eating seriously with her head lowered. Maddox couldn't help glancing at her from the corner of his eyes, her pale facelooking very serious.
Maddox observed that she was really serious about eating
So what Geoffrey said just now didn't hit her?
For some reason, Maddox suddenly felt annoyed. Her nonchalant behaviour meant that he had no place in her heart at all.As such, Maddox's eyes were filled with other emotions.
Initially, Minerva didn’t have much appetite. However, for some reason, when she smelled the vegetarian dishes, her appetite was suddenly soaring.Subconsciously, she picked up her fork to pick up some food and eat.
She was still thinking that maybe the baby liked the taste, but suddenly felt a feeling of resentment next to her.
She looked sideways and saw Maddox staring at her with eyes as dark as a wolf's.
Just when Minerva thought that her instinct was wrong. Maddox's eyes narrowed slightly. “Shut up."
Geoffrey was stunned,”... Well, if, if it doesn’t work out, you and Minny could go back to Hidalgo to hide?”
Hearing this, Minerva almost dropped the fork to the ground. She stared at Geoffrey in disbelief, looking as if she was saying, "Are you crazy?”
Geoffrey was clearly daing it on purpose. It wasn't that he didn't see Minerva's gaze. but he deliberately avoided it. He continued, "Collins. I think thisis a good idea. I'm very familiar with Jarold's character. Why don't you two learn from ancient characters and elope? Go straight back to Hidalgo,move first before getting permission. I can keep the two of you in the dark and keep it a secret from Master Collins. After Minny is pregnant, you can..”"Cough cough..." Upon hearing this, Minerva choked. She then covered her mouth and coughed.
The cough was really bad and her pale face flushed red. A pair of large hands moved behind and patted her. Then, Minerva glanced at Maddox'shands which quickly poured her a cup of green tea and brought it to her lips.
Minerva coughed for a while before stopping. She brought the tea to her lips and took a sip.
Geoffrey stared at her with his eyes blinking. After he was sure that she wouldn't cough anymore, he continued again, "Minny, the method I justmentioned..”
"Shut up!" Maddox chided him coldly.
Geoffrey didn't want to shut up, so he snorted and said, "Why should I shut up? I think my proposal is very good. If you stay here, you will be foundout by that old man sooner or later."
"Can't eating even shut your mouth?" Maddox raised his sword- like eyebrows. His eyes were dark as he stared at Geoffrey in front of him. The veinson his forehead suddenly twitched
Geoffrey was behaving really abnormally. He spoke very directly to Minerva, and even came up with these dirty ideas
Geoffrey saw that Maddox was really angry, so he stopped and stuffed something into his mouth
Well, then he didn't need to talk for the time being. When the two of them had digested his previous suggestion, he would bring it up to them againEver since Geoffrey made that suggestion, the atmosphere had become very awkward. Minerva ate silently, and no one said anything.
It was only when Minerva was almost full that she realised that Maddox barely moved his cutlery. He sat there with a frown and pursed his lips.
As for Geoffrey, he had almost cleaned out all the things on the table. As he locked at Maddox, he said, "Other people eat while you sit. Serves youright for having a bad stomach.
"You have stomach problems?" Minerva asked subconsciously.
How come she didn’t notice any problems with his stomach during the time she had spent with him?
Geoffrey nodded and said, "Yes, heaid down fora long time when hewas injured: After he woke up, >althougtMhere were thorough checkups, heyreally didn't eat well. It's:nota very serious stomach prohtem, butsorfietimes it troubles him, .“Contentbelongs to NovelDrama.Org ©
He had seen Collins having a gastric before. At that time, it happened when he drank a glass of wine with a high alcohol percentage, almost breakingdown his stomach
"Why do I not know about this?" Minerva looked anxiously at Maddox. "Your stomach isn't good, yet you're not eating? What are you thinking?"But Maddox didn't say anything. He just looked at Geoffrey and asked, "Are you full?"
Geoffrey burped. Just as he was about to reply, he heard Maddox's disdainful cold voice. "Get out of here if you're full."
Geoffrey went speechless.
F*ck, he must be sick in the head to help Collins. Every single time, Maddox would just look down on him.
Hmph. Geoffrey was not going to pay attention to Maddox, but he could tell that he had been frowning all the time. He must have something to say toMinerva. That's why he was chasing him out of here
Geoffrey packed up his things and said, "Fine, I'll go. It's your treat today. I'll be leaving first."

When he said "think about it”, he deliberately increased his tone, as if to remind her of something.
Minerva's brain clicked.

However, Maddox would definitely not agree. Hence, Minerva could only cough lightly and say, "He must be joking around. Don't..."
"Is that so?” Maddox's cold gaze landed on her face. He parted his lips lightly. “Why do I feel that this suggestion is not bad?”
