After Geoffrey entered, he quickly squeezed his way to the kitchen. He was surprised and delighted at the same time.
"Wow, we're having fish soup today? That's great!" He exclaimed.
Maddox stood silently at the door and did not enter.
He stared at him. If looks could kill, Geoffrey would have dropped dead at that moment. How was it that he did not feel that Geoffrey deserved a beating in the past?
It seemed that he was really looking for trouble.
Suddenly a thought came into Maddox's mind and he took out his phone.
"Minerva!" Geoffrey snuck into the kitchen while Maddox was still outside. He whispered to her, "Why is Sebastian here?"
She answered, "He came with me when he got off work. He said he is here to retrieve the clothes he left yesterday."
Oh?
Geoffrey could not help but raise his eyebrows. He asked, "Yesterday's clothes? He said he wanted to get them himself?" "Yes," she nodded.
"Do you believe him?" He leaned over, narrowed his eyes and asked.
"What's wrong?" Minerva looked at him, who leaned over in confusion. She was a little puzzled, "He said the jacket is very expensive, thus he wants to take it back," she explained.
Of course, she would not tell him about the incident of her undergarment hanging on Maddox's jacket. Such an embarrassing event should be kept a secret between both Maddox and her.
Geoffrey misunderstood and laughed out loud immediately after hearing what she said, "Expensive? The heir of the Collins Corporation actually used the word expensive? Minerva, I have to say, you are too simple-minded!"
Seeing that she continued to stare at him, Geoffrey continued, "I think he's trying to find an excuse to come over for a meal. This is a new side of Sebastian for me too."
It was clear that he wanted to be with her, thus he came up with all sorts of excuses.
Compared to Geoffrey, Sebastian was too proud and arrogant. Thankfully it was Minerva; if it had been other women, they probably would've stayed away.
However, with Maddox's looks, let alone his arrogance, as long as he did not refuse her, which woman would stay away?
If that was the case, then there was no need to compare himself to Maddox. He would never be able to compete with him.
"What are you guys doing?" A cold voice ringed through the kitchen.
Minerva and Geoffrey turned at the same time and saw Maddox leaning against the door of the kitchen. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and stared at them coldly.
Geoffrey realized that he was standing too close to Minerva, and it annoyed Sebastian very much. The look in his eyes made it seem as though he was going to be sent to the brink of death.
"Haha, nothing much. I was just asking Minerva how she cooked the meals. Why are you so nervous?" He winked at Maddox purposely.
Seeing him act like this in front of the woman he liked, Geoffrey wanted to provoke him all the more and strip him bare of his hard shell.
In his eyes, Maddox had always been a cold and poised person who could be careless about anyone.
Perhaps this was his guilty-pleasure. He wanted to see Maddox lose his mind for the sake of a woman.
Just thinking about it... made him feel excited!
As he thought about it, the smugness in his eyes became more and more obvious.
However,at that moment, his phone rang. He took a look at the caller ID, his face fell.
Grandpa? F*ck! Why did he call him at this time?
He glanced at Minerva and answered the call, "Grandpa?"
"Geoffrey, get your a*s back here right now," Oscar said.
"Grandpa, what have I done wrong today? Why are you so fierce to me as soon as I answered the phone?" He answered.
He recalled back to what he did in the past carefully. He couldn't find any mistake he made. Why did his grandfather like that?
