Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 840

At the Collins family.

Ever since Jarold's phone call, Maddox decided not to go to Minerva's for the time being. Otherwise, if he stayed outside for too long, Jarold would grow to be even more suspicious.

It wasn't easy for Geoffrey to cover it up for him. He had to put on an act.

Now that he had just begun to date Minerva, their relationship was still unstable. If something really happened, he didn't know if she would be scared away.

"You're back?"

"Grandpa."

Jarold looked at this grandson of his who was in front of him, his black eyes sharp. He thought that he looked very similar to his mother, Aurora, especially the point between his eyes and brows. They looked very much like each other.

Every time he saw Sebastian going against him and refusing to admit defeat, it was as though Aurora was standing in front of him once more.

As soon as he thought of her, Jarold's heart ached. He thought back to what Monica had said by his ear that day. He looked at Sebastian and said, "You, come with me to the study."

Maddox could see through the pain in Jarold's eyes. He looked at his back and narrowed his eyes slightly.

For such a long time, Jarold had never looked at him with that kind of expression.

Could something have happened?

However, Maddox followed Jarold into the study calmly.

After entering the study, Jarold ordered Maddox to close the door and sit down.

Maddox then closed the door behind him.

He didn't take the initiative to speak, because he knew that Jarold would talk to him a lot that evening, or ask him many questions. From the moment he decided to be together with Minerva, he had already thought of all the answers and tried his best to think of all the questions Jarold would ask.

"Sebastian, can you tell me why you don't want to be engaged to Monica?"

His voice sounded very old, with a hint of tiredness. Maddox's lips moved and he lifted his eyelids. Then, he just looked into those dark eyes.

Why was that so?

Maddox pursed his lips and answered coldly, "I don't like her."

These words had instantly explained his own state of mind. It could be said that they were very direct. Jarold had initially thought that Maddox would say something that would allow him to express his thoughts. Who would've thought that Maddox actually shut him out the moment his mouth opened?

Immediately, the expression on Jarold's face became a bit blanched.

"If you don't like her, then who do you like?"

The latter question was very vicious, it made the air around Jarold even more overbearing. It was as if his walking cane would strike Maddox directly on the head the moment he spoke a name.

However, it was Maddox whom Jarold was dealing with.

He was used to being arrogant, hence he wasn't afraid of these things at all.

He pulled his lips and explained coldly, "In short, I won't get engaged to her. Although I'm your grandson, I don't want to be manipulated by you."

"You br*t. How will I harm you? Tell me the truth. Are you having a lover outside?"

There was a flash of killing intent in Maddox's dark eyes, but it disappeared very quickly. Jarold looked sharply at him before he could speak.

"I heard that there is an employee in the company who has been pestering you and is interested in you. Is this true?"

Maddox's lips twitched. "Grandpa, didn't you always know about these things?"

"Yes, I know that there are many women who like you, but you don't care about them, do you? But I heard that you are treating her differently from others. Why are you like this? Have you been seduced by that woman?"
