Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 999

Baldrick gave her a warm smile.

He began to explain in a soft voice, "Master Collins said that a child should never be separated from their parents. Since you are leaving soon, Beanie should spend more time with you. Moreover, Master Collins isn't an unreasonable person. He was able to spend the New Year with his great-grandson and he was truly happy about that, therefore..."

Speaking of this, Baldrick's words stopped, and then he looked at Beanie.

Minerva could sense the hint and she pinched Beanie on his cheeks.

"Beanie, go take a shower then wait for me in the room, alright? Your suitcase is in your daddy's room."

"Okay, Mommy. I will go take a shower first."

After dismissing Beanie, Minerva asked, "Baldrick, you're here for something else, aren't you?"

He nodded, took out an envelope from his briefcase, and handed it to her. She looked at the envelope but didn't take it.

Jarold had given her a small box the last time.

The box contained a priceless diamond necklace. What could be in the envelope this time? Could it be money?

"Madam Minerva?" Baldrick called out to her when he saw her staring at the envelope in a daze.

She came to her senses and asked him hesitantly, "Baldrick? This is... Can I ask you what's inside?"

He didn't reply. He just mysteriously handed her the envelope and said, "Madam Minerva, you will find out later when you open it. It is a present from Master Collins for Beanie. He instructed me clearly to personally pass this to you."

She took it with trembling hands. She could feel that there was something very important inside the envelope.

Looking at the envelope, it could only be money inside, but when she wrapped her fingers around it, it felt more like a document.

Could it be...

Something flashed across Minerva's mind and she quickly returned the envelope.

"Baldrick, I can't take this. Please pass it back to Grandpa. Beanie is still too young and there is no need to prepare anything for him. I could barely keep the gift that he gave previously and this time..."

She wasn't greedy at all, and her face only expressed a look of utmost sincerity. Baldrick nodded his head in approval and told her, "Madam Minerva, you're an honest person but this is the instruction given by Master Collins. I am just an employee of the Collins family, so my job is to do whatever they instruct me to do."

"Baldrick, stop joking around. How are you just an employee? You're a senior to me and this gift..."

"You have to accept this gift, Madam Minerva. Master Collins had said that if you feel pressured about receiving it, you don't have to be because this gift isn't for you, it is for Beanie. As a greatgrandfather, it is only normal for him to give a present to his great- grandson. He's more than happy to do so."

She felt that if she continued to refuse it, she would be giving him a hard time.

To put it bluntly, the gift was for her son and it had nothing to do with her. For that reason, she had no right to refuse the present on her son's behalf.

"Baldrick, I understand. I'll accept it on his behalf for now. However, it will be up to him whether he wants to accept it or not in the future."

"Alright." He didn't say anything else to persuade her. Only time would tell and as long as she accepted it for now, he had completed his task.
