Chapter 811


    Monica then left the Collins family with satisfaction. Just as she was about to leave, she bumped


    into Maddox who had just gotten back. She was so excited that she immediately stepped forward to


    greet him.


    "You''re back? Are you tired after working overtime today?"


    Maddox nced at her and answered in an indifferent tone. After that, he walked away from her


    without sparing a single nce at her.


    Monica felt a cold wind blow past her. Her hand, which wanted to hold onto him, stopped awkwardly


    in mid-air. She clenched her fists while gritting her teeth angrily.


    But after a while, she loosened her fists andforted herself with a smile.


    "It doesn''t matter. The more indifferent he is, the better it will be. It shows that he will not fancy


    anyone easily. As long as I''m engaged to him and have our wedding on an auspicious day, why


    should I be worried that he will not love me?" thought Monica.


    She wasn''t an ordinary girl and had so many ways to make him fall in love with her.


    Thinking of this, Monica felt much better and left.


    Maddox greeted Jarold as usual and prepared to head upstairs, but Jarold stopped him.


    "You''ve been working overtime recently?"


    Maddox pursed his lips and thought for a moment. Then, he shook his head and replied, "The


    company''s affairs are still manageable. There''s no need for overtime."


    Hearing this, Jarold frowned. "You haven''t been working overtime? Then where have you been for


    the past few days? Why don''t youe back for dinner if you''re not working overtime?"


    "Something has happened recently." As for what happened, Maddox would not tell him.


    Jarold wanted to ask what it was, but when he thought about what Maddox had mentioned the night


    before, he felt that it wasn''t appropriate to ask this question. Thus, he swallowed the words he was


    about to say and altered it to, "Are you free tomorrow? I invited Master Dormer and Monica to


    dinner tomorrow, at seven o''clock in the evening."


    Upon hearing this, Maddox frown with displeasure in his eyes.


    "Didn''t I make myself clear that I''m not interested in her? Grandpa, you still want to y


    matchmaker?"


    Jarold snorted. "Fine, then start paying attention towards her. Monica cares so much about you,


    plus she''s pretty and has a good family background. You''ll discover her qualities after you start


    paying attention to her.1''


    Maddox went speechless.


    He didn''t know why, but when he saw Monica, he felt very ufortable, especially when she


    looked at him and initiated intimate contacts with him.


    Such actions disgusted him, which was the reason why he didn''t want to pay her any attention.


    "Believe in me. Monica is definitely your best choice at the moment, if you are considering


    marriage."


    If they got married...


    For some reason, a woman''s delicate face suddenly appeared before Maddox. She looked at him


    with tearful eyes and said no.


    Maddox paused. Why was he missing her again at this time?


    "Did you hear me? The dinner will be held at 7 o''clock in the evening tomorrow. I won''t forgive you if


    you don''t turn up."


    Aftering back to his senses, Maddox thought about Jarold''s words and retorted icily, "I''ll be


    there on time."


    If he avoided it now, there would always be a second time. It was better to go there and make it


    clear once and for all.


    Jarold immediately beamed with delight. "I knew that you wouldn''t let me down."

    "By the way, you''ve mentioned... I''ve always been living with the Collins family, haven''t I?" Maddox


    suddenly asked.


    The smile on Jarold''s face froze, showing his displeasure tantly. "Why are you asking this? Didn''t


    I tell you before that I was the one who brought you up to inherit all the assets of the Collins family.


    Now that you''re asking, do you think I''m lying to you? Do you think I''ll just hand my property over to


    an outsider casually?"


    Maddox was silent.


    It wasn''t that he suspected Jarold, it was just that he didn''t know about his own background and


    history as he hadpletely forgotten who he was when he woke up. It was Jarold who imed


    that he was Maddox''s biological grandfather. When he was out in the sea, he had bumped into a


    rock and got his head hurt. That was how he lost his memory. However, Jarold reassured Maddox


    that he would find the best doctor to treat him.


    This grandfather of his was indeed very kind to him. However, Maddox did not feel a close


    connection with him.


    However, family members were not people to be deceived, as they still shared the same blood.


    Moreover, the Collins family was vast and owned arge fortune. It was impossible for them to hand


    over suchrge and important assets to an outsider.


    "Have you thought of something recently? Is your head still hurting? Would you like to have a doctor


    to give you a thorough check up?"


    Maddox shook his head and rejected faintly, "No, I''m fine."


    "That''s good. Are you still taking the medicine that Doctor Hayes prescribed you? It doesn''t matter,


    Sebastian. Whether you retain previous memory or not, the fact that you''re my grandson will not


    change. So don''t be stressed. If you can''t remember it...then don''t think about it. Anyway, the past is


    in the past. We, humans.. should look forward to the future, this is what matters the most."


    After all, he was ageing and would nag once in a while. Maddox listened and said, "I''m going to rest


    now."


    Maddox then returned to his room, took a shower, and tidied up. When he came out, he opened the


    wardrobe and was stunned by the suit hanging inside.


    The suit was the one he had brought back from Minerva''s.


    That day, he saw her hanging this suit in the wardrobe, and then.. his underwear was still hanging


    there. He even approached her there and asked her if she was a pervert.


    But what about now?


    He clearly knew about these things. He clearly told her that he would not wear this suit anymore


    and did not want it. But after taking it back, he did not know why, he hung the suit directly in his


    closet as if he was possessed.


    What''s more, it was also hung at a ce where it would be spotted immediately once the wardrobe


    was opened.


    Maddox stared at it for a long while and smiled suddenly.


    "Why do I feel like I''m the pervert?"


    The next day.


    Minerva had prepared a lot of fresh ingredients because she wanted to treat Maddox to a week''s


    worth of meals. She had even thought of what to cook for dinner.


    When she got off work, she slowed down subconsciously, thinking that Maddox would catch up with


    her anyway and let her get in the car.


    Sure enough, after a while, Maddox''s car arrived.


    However, before she could get on, Maddox announced, "I have something to do today."


    Upon hearing this, Minerva stopped in her tracks. "Huh?"


    Did that mean that he would not go to her ce for dinner that day?


    Maddox stared at her deeply and continued in a low voice, "But don''t think of running away. We will


    push the week backwards, you owe me today."


    Minerva went speechless.


    "Well, I know, but... what do you have to do?"


    She couldn''t help but asked out of curiosity.


    Maddox looked at the curious expression on her pale face and felt a little guilty for some reason.


    Her eyes were very clear, without any impurities, and she looked straight into him, hooking his


    heart.


    Maddox looked away and coughed softly. "My grandfather invited some guests over to have dinner."


    After finishing the exnation, Maddox quickly frowned. Why did he have to exin so much to


    this woman?


    "Anyway, you owe me today, got it?"
