Initially, Jarold hadn't intended to mention it. However, he did not expect that Baldrick would speak out his thoughts with just a few words. He felt extremely awkward at that moment and then chided him harshly.
"Baldrick!" He yelled.
However, Baldrick was not afraid of him at all. He put on a smile and continued saying, "Old Master is very thin-skinned, so I will speak on his behalf."
"Baldrick! What nonsense are you spouting?" Jarold asked. He was so furious that his wrinkled face had turned red. He was both angry and anxious as he explained, "Obviously, it was you who asked me to come over. What are you talking about now?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Baldrick replied as he nodded. "I'm the one who asked Old Master to come over. That's right."
Jarold had been in a daze ever since he woke up early in the morning, and kept asking if what happened the previous night was true. Why did he feel like it was so unreal?
Baldrick could empathize with how it felt to have a great-grandson all of a sudden. Moreover, Jarold had been staying alone for far too long. He suddenly had a family and a great-grandson. The feeling of shock and jubilance was not something that an ordinary person could understand.
Baldrick had told him many times that it was real. However, Jarold still looked as if he didn't believe what he said. After that, Baldrick suggested that he come over personally to confirm it.
At that moment, Jarold felt that it was a good idea, and he had agreed as well.
However, he didn't expect that Baldrick would betray him as soon as he arrived. "How can I admit that I wanted to come over? Will Minerva laugh at me if I do so?" He pondered to himself.
After all, he had done a lot of things before. If he accepted his great-grandson at that moment, it seemed like he was eating his words.
Minerva didn't mind his attitude. For her, his attitude at the moment was good enough. At least, he didn't ask Baldrick to write a check and put it in an envelope to persuade her to leave like he did the first time they met.
Jarold told her that he didn't want to accept her. However, she could feel his desire to see Beanie from his eyes.
Thinking of that, her mood had improved a little. She smiled faintly and explained, "Then both of you came at the wrong time. Beanie and Maddox have gone out, they are not at home."
Hearing that, Jarold's face darkened.
He was here to see Beanie. However, he didn't expect that the child wasn't here at that moment. Jarold suddenly felt extremely disappointed.
Baldrick asked, "What did they go out for?"
Minerva only realized that they were not at home after she woke up. Therefore, she had no idea why they went out. Hence, after Baldrick asked her this question, she shifted her gaze to Vera who was staying by her side.
Following her gaze, the gazes of those three people in the room fell on Vera's face.
Vera suddenly had a feeling of being pinned with high hopes. She was also a little nervous. After that, she took a deep breath and then said, "Well... Young Master Yardley was going out, and I dared not ask him what he was going to do. Besides, with my identity, it's not appropriate for me to ask him."
After that, the corner of her mouth also twitched.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Jarold's and Baldrick's eyes. In the next second, Jarold snorted coldly and said, "Since my great-grandson isn't here, then let's go back!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out. Baldrick could only smile apologetically at Minerva and said, "I'm sorry, Madam Minerva. I'll accompany Old Master to leave first."
She nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, be careful on the road."
Jarold, who was walking before Baldrick, paused when he heard that. Then, he turned around to look at her. A trace of anger flashed through his eyes.
She could feel his stare. She looked back at him in confusion and asked using her eyes.
"Did I say something wrong just now?" She pondered to herself.
