Two days later, Geoffrey replied to her message asking her for help.
It turned out that it wasn't on purpose that he disappeared from all his social media accounts, but it was because his mobile phone was confiscated by his grandfather, Oscar. He had been living in hell recently.
He ranted to Minerva about what he had been going through and she found out that he was occupied with celebrating the festival with Oscar. The past few days he was dragged to see his relatives by his grandfather with the intention to match him with someone.
Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but make fun of him.
"Isn't that great? He's doing it for the sake of your happiness."
Geoffrey cried from the other side of the line, "You're just making fun of me right now! If I tell you that what happened to me is going to happen to Sebastian tomorrow, are you still going to say it's a good thing?"
Minerva was not upset by what he said. She raised her brows and replied, "It's different.
Sebastian is taken but you are not."
He broke into tears after he heard her response.
"Minny, how could you say such a hurtful thing! I've been tortured enough recently and you're treating me like this!"
She was amused by him.
However, his tone switched back to normal.
"Wait, I forgot to address the main point. You two are going back home? When?"
She glanced at the date he had replied to her message and replied, "Yes, three days later."
"What!"
In the next moment, Minerva heard Geoffrey jumping to his feet on the other end of the line. He seemed to have kicked something and hurt himself so much that he cried out. He took a deep breath of air before he pitifully said to her, "Don't do this, Minny. It's so rare for us to be able to meet and have such a close relationship. What am I going to do when you guys go back? I will be all sad and lonely all by myself!"
There was a brief pause.
"That's enough talk. Tell me where you are and I'll come and find you right now."
She was speechless.
After hesitating for a moment, she told him her
address.
He didn't have his phone with him before this because he was restricted by Oscar. It seemed that he had gotten it back now.
Sure enough, shortly after she sent Geoffrey her address, he came rushing over.
When she heard the doorbell ringing, she checked the time. How did he rush over here so quickly? Was he speeding? She thought to herself.
She looked through the peephole and saw Geoffrey standing outside. Then, she opened the door.
When he saw her, he suddenly showed a sad expression and then threw himself at her with his arms open. "Minny, I've missed you guys!"
Minerva stood there in a daze. She had not expected his passionate greeting. However, before she could dodge, he paused and his arms froze in the air.
After a few moments, he walked past her and hugged the cabinet next to her.
She was dumbfounded.
Was this man a joker?
Geoffrey held the closet with a face of despondency.
He couldn't believe he was about to give her a hug earlier. Although he only saw her as family, Sebastian was not going to see it as that.
He would probably think he tried to take advantage of his wife and Geoffrey figured he was too young to die.
