Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 811

Monica then left the Collins family with satisfaction. Just as she was about to leave, she bumped into Maddox who had just gotten back. She was so excited that she immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"You're back? Are you tired after working overtime today?"

Maddox glanced at her and answered in an indifferent tone. After that, he walked away from her without sparing a single glance at her.

Monica felt a cold wind blow past her. Her hand, which wanted to hold onto him, stopped awkwardly in mid-air. She clenched her fists while gritting her teeth angrily.

But after a while, she loosened her fists and comforted herself with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. The more indifferent he is, the better it will be. It shows that he will not fancy anyone easily. As long as I'm engaged to him and have our wedding on an auspicious day, why should I be worried that he will not love me?" thought Monica.

She wasn't an ordinary girl and had so many ways to make him fall in love with her.

Thinking of this, Monica felt much better and left.

Maddox greeted Jarold as usual and prepared to head upstairs, but Jarold stopped him.

"You've been working overtime recently?"

Maddox pursed his lips and thought for a moment. Then, he shook his head and replied, "The company's affairs are still manageable. There's no need for overtime."

Hearing this, Jarold frowned. "You haven't been working overtime? Then where have you been for the past few days? Why don't you come back for dinner if you're not working overtime?"

"Something has happened recently." As for what happened, Maddox would not tell him.

Jarold wanted to ask what it was, but when he thought about what Maddox had mentioned the night before, he felt that it wasn't appropriate to ask this question. Thus, he swallowed the words he was about to say and altered it to, "Are you free tomorrow? I invited Master Dormer and Monica to dinner tomorrow, at seven o'clock in the evening."

Upon hearing this, Maddox frown with displeasure in his eyes.

"Didn't I make myself clear that I'm not interested in her? Grandpa, you still want to play matchmaker?"

Jarold snorted. "Fine, then start paying attention towards her. Monica cares so much about you, plus she's pretty and has a good family background. You'll discover her qualities after you start paying attention to her.¹'

Maddox went speechless.

He didn't know why, but when he saw Monica, he felt very uncomfortable, especially when she looked at him and initiated intimate contacts with him.

Such actions disgusted him, which was the reason why he didn't want to pay her any attention.

"Believe in me. Monica is definitely your best choice at the moment, if you are considering marriage."

If they got married...

For some reason, a woman's delicate face suddenly appeared before Maddox. She looked at him with tearful eyes and said no.

Maddox paused. Why was he missing her again at this time?

"Did you hear me? The dinner will be held at 7 o'clock in the evening tomorrow. I won't forgive you if you don't turn up."

After coming back to his senses, Maddox thought about Jarold's words and retorted icily, "I'll be there on time."

If he avoided it now, there would always be a second time. It was better to go there and make it clear once and for all.

Jarold immediately beamed with delight. "I knew that you wouldn't let me down."

"By the way, you've mentioned... I've always been living with the Collins family, haven't I?" Maddox suddenly asked.

The smile on Jarold's face froze, showing his displeasure blatantly. "Why are you asking this? Didn't I tell you before that I was the one who brought you up to inherit all the assets of the Collins family. Now that you're asking, do you think I'm lying to you? Do you think I'll just hand my property over to an outsider casually?"

Maddox was silent.

It wasn't that he suspected Jarold, it was just that he didn't know about his own background and history as he had completely forgotten who he was when he woke up. It was Jarold who claimed that he was Maddox's biological grandfather. When he was out in the sea, he had bumped into a rock and got his head hurt. That was how he lost his memory. However, Jarold reassured Maddox that he would find the best doctor to treat him.
