"Don't worry. There's nothing going on here. Just take good care of Beanie and yourself."
However, Vera couldn't help whispering, "You're lying. If there is nothing going on, would you suddenly contact Abigail?"
"I'm looking for her because she's Maddox's relative. And at the same time, I wish for her to stimulate his memories along the way. There's no other purpose."
This statement made Vera dubious. "Really? Just like that?"
Minerva sighed and said, "This is the only way. Or do you have a better idea?"
Vera hesitated," No."
After chatting about normal stuff for a while, Vera asked out of curiosity, "The New Year is coming soon. Are you sure you won't come back to spend the New Year with Beanie? Like a get together or something?"
Minerva was touched by her words.
She wanted to go back. There was no mother in the world who wouldn't miss her child, but she
didn't know if there would be any changes in the current situation, but seeing Vera constantly asking, she could only ease her voice and said, "Let's wait and see. If it's okay, I will free my time to go back and celebrate the New Year."
In the past, she would always refuse directly. But now, she had actually changed the way she delivered her statement. Vera instantly felt that the situation on Minerva's side was very good. Then wouldn't it be a good thing for her to bring Beanie to Minerva's for the celebration?
Thinking of this, Vera said happily, "Well, I'll wait for your good news with Beanie and Quill."
"Sure."
**
At the Collins family.
"Where did you go?"
After Maddox entered the household, all the maids in the living room were ordered away by Jarold, and he was the only one left sitting on the sofa.
He waited until Maddox entered and asked in a cold voice.
Maddox stopped in his tracks. He recalled the time he spent with Minerva and the news of Jarold he heard over the phone.
It seemed he had been lied to. Maddox pursed his lips and walked calmly towards the elder.
"Grandpa."
Jarold laughed coldly. "You still know that I'm your Grandpa?"
Maddox pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Where on earth have you been? I thought you were working overtime in the company these days. But today when I asked about you, I heard that you leave on time every day. You don't stay in the company at all."
Maddox looked up. "I am an adult. Even if I don't work overtime in the company, I have my own life. Apart from being in the company, can I only be at home?"
Jarold went silent,"..."
He snorted, "So what if you stay at home? I'm getting old. Don't you want to spend more time with me?"
Frankly, Maddox didn't have a strong attachment for Jarold. Although when he opened his eyes, he introduced himself as his grandfather and instilled some of his memories into him, he still believed it.
However, Maddox wasn't on good terms with him at all, especially when he was trying to discipline him and get him engaged to Monica.
Maddox only wanted to stay far away from him.
