Chapter 783


    After all, she and Maddox had almost got married. "Well, I promise I won''t mention this incident to


    anyone else. Now that you have finally forgiven me, I have several things to tell you about


    Sebastian," Geoffrey replied.

    "What is it?"


    Minerva asked curiously.


    After listening to Geoffrey, Minerva knew a lot about Sebastian, but... those were just small and


    insignificant matters. They weren''t a big deal.


    Minerva looked around and then lowered her head to look at the time. Linda would probablye


    to work in about fifteen minutes. She should have time to ask about what she wanted to know.


    "Actually, there''s something I want to know. Sebastian has he... always been living with the Collins


    family?"


    This question was to test Geoffrey. After all, she knew the truth. If Geoffrey answered it honestly,


    this proved that he could be trusted in the future, but if he didn''t...


    As expected, after hearing this question, Geoffrey''s expression became a bit subtle. He looked at


    Minerva and wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.


    Minerva asked him immediately, "What''s wrong? Is there any problem?"


    Geoffrey nodded and his expression seemed to be torn. Minerva was not in a hurry and waited for


    him patiently.


    After a while, he finally looked as though he had everything figured out. He looked at Minerva and


    revealed, "There''s actually no reason to hide the truth from you... But, your feelings for him are


    sincere, right?"


    Minerva was speechless before finally sighing.


    "If you think they are, then they are."


    Geoffrey did not expect her to answer so casually. As a matter of fact, he was slightly dissatisfied


    with her reply. Yet, since Sebastian was falling for her, with a personality like Sebastian''s, he


    probably wouldn''t ept the fiancee that his family had chosen for him.


    Hence, he felt that the situation in front of him was very likely to happen...


    "Sebastian wasn''t always at home. He''s actually the grandson that Master Collins found," Geoffrey


    replied slowly.


    Minerva''s heart skipped a beat. Maddox was Jarold''s grandson.


    "Master Collins ''found'' him?" Minerva blinked her eyes, pretending not to know anything as she


    asked, "Wasn''t he living in the Collins family previously? Who would be willing to leave a family like


    the Collins family?"


    "You''re right. For a family like the Collins Corporation, normal people would be envious of their


    wealthy and luxurious lifestyle. However, their family is full of strange people. Not everything is as


    what it may seem, as what others would normally say."


    "That''s true," Minerva nodded. Then, she had an idea and asked, "Where did Master Collins find his


    grandson?"


    Geoffrey blinked his eyes and gradually fell into Minerva''s trap unknowingly. He started to exin.


    "Once, he was on a boat..."


    When he was about to tell Minerva the whole story, a cold voice was suddenly heard from the


    doorway.


    "It seems you are really too idle. Do you need me to make another phone call?"


    Both Minerva and Geoffrey were stunned. They turned their gazes toward the doorat the same time.


    They had no idea when Maddox had been standing outside the secretary''s office, but at that


    moment, he was staring at them coldly.


    His sharp gaze was stered murderously on Geoffrey, which made Geoffrey''s scalp tingled


    instantly. He quickly whispered, "Minerva, I''ll go first. I''ll tell youter on."


    Regardless of whether Minerva had agreed to it or not, Geoffrey slipped away immediately after


    saying so.


    He wasn''t kidding. If he didn''t leave now, he''d be tortured to death if Sebastian called Master Jules


    again. He''d better leave quickly.


    After Geoffrey left, Maddox also followed and left.


    Soon after, Linda came to work, and they returned to work.


    Finally, the first weekend of the month came. Minerva heaved a sigh of relief. She slept in and woke


    up naturally, finding that it was already afternoon. She got up and made some simple breakfast


    before tidying up. Then, she sent the coat that Maddox left here to theundry and went to the


    supermarket.


    As soon as she arrived home, Beanie invited her for a video call.


    Minerva opened the door while answering the video call. Watching the little head bobbing at the


    other end, she couldn''t help butugh at him and asked, "What''s up?"


    "Mommy, don''t you miss me? If I don''t call you, you will keep on ignoring me. I feel very bitter. I


    already don''t have a daddy with me, and now you''re starting to ignore me too..."


    He spoke this with a drooping head, looking very discouraged, very unhappy, and very pitiful.


    a Minerva''s heart instantly softened. She responded in distress, "Be a good boy. Didn''t you promise


    me that you''ll wait for mommy to bring your daddy back? Why are you starting to make a fuss in just


    a few days?"


    Beanie pouted, "Yes, I did promise you, but it''s too hard for me to live without you. I want to see


    you. You used to bring me with you wherever you went."


    "What?" Minerva was stunned for a moment. Was Beanie going toe look for her?


    Beanie raised his hands and made a promise as he said, "I promise I won''t cause you trouble. Uh, I


    can cook, do theundry, and do all the housework. Don''t you want me toe over?"


    Minerva couldn''t help butugh, "Are you my little nanny?"


    He nodded heavily and replied seriously, "I can do anything as long as you ask me to!" "Come on.


    Don''t be naughty anymore. Mommy will be back soon. Hopefully, we can reunite before soon, so


    stop being emotional, okay?" Minerva rejected him.


    Beanie initially expected Minerva to be a little moved after what he said. However, he did not expect


    to be rejected by her again.


    "Bad mommy, it''s still a long time before we can meet. I want to see you now. I''m almost on my


    winter break. Can you please let mee over?"


    "Mommy, pretty please? I promise I''ll be a good boy."


    Minerva had no choice but to change the subject and asked, "Where''s your uncle? And Auntie


    Vera? How are they doing recently?"


    Beanie could see that his mommy was trying to change the topic. He snorted and turned his head


    away to ignore her.


    If it weren''t for theplicated situation over here, Minerva really wanted to take Beanie with her.


    But... she couldn''t.


    Considering the influence of the Collins family, it was impossible for them not to know Maddox''s


    former identity. However, after knowing his identity, they insisted on giving him a new name. This


    meant that the Collins family knew about it all along.


    The Collins family''s influence was so great that before she could figure out the other party''s


    motives, her only choice now was to approach Maddox with her current identity.


    She had to let him restore his memories first.


    This was to avoid... other problems arising when the time came. If Master Collins intervened in this


    matter, it would be challenging for her to bring Maddox away.


    "Baby, it''s not that I don''t want to bring you with me. You''ve always been the most understanding


    person in the world. I hope you can understand me this time as well, okay?" Minerva tried tofort


    him.
