Chapter 869
Baldrick stood outside the door alone. After he rang the doorbell, he stood there and waited patiently.
He was almost denied entry but after confirming his name and identity for a long time, and informed that he was there to look for Maddox the guards
allowed him to enter.
Of course, for safety''s sake, a security guard in themunity came along.
After standing for a long time, the door finally opened.
Baldrick finally saw Maddox. He was a little excited. "Mr. Sebastian, I''ve finally found you."
Maddox looked at the butler and said indifferently, “Baldrick, it''s already sote. What''s the matter?"
After that. he nced at the security guard behind him
It was not until then that the security guard realized they knew each other. He said, "It turns out that you really know each other. Then I''ll leave first."
After the security guard left. Baldrick smiled shyly and said softly, "Mr. Sebastian, You haven''t answered my calls, so I have toe to you
personally."
When Maddox heard this, his eyes turned colder. "I know what you''re trying to do. I won''t go back."
Baldrick said, "He''s your grandfather. You shouldn''t act so childishly."
Maddox frowned. Acting childishly? He was already an adult. What sort of temper could he have? He was only doing this to express his feelings to
Jarold. No matter what, he wouldn''t change his mind
Although he hadn''t known Minerva for a long time.
She had filled the void in his heart. If he lost her, he felt as if he would lose his heart as well.
In this life, he would never give up on her.
Baldrick continued, "In fact, Master Collins''s condition now is not very good. He also said... if you don''t go home tonight, then he may...”
Baldrick sighed, "I''ve followed Master Collins for so many years, and I can tell that he''s not joking. No matter what, even if you want to quarrel with
him, you are still his junior. Sometimes..."
Baldrick paused for a while and didn''t say anything more.
He had already said enough. How could someone as smart as Sebastian not be able to understand what he was implying?
Maddox sneered. "If Ipromise, will there be more and more situations like this in the future? Does he think this is how he can deal with my
weakness?"
Baldrick didn''t know how to answer.
It didn’t seem unreasonable for him to say so.
"Go ahead."
Just as Baldrick was about to say something else to persuade Maddox, a soft female voice could be heard from behind
Baldrick looked at the source of the sound.
Maddox also frowned and turned around at the same time. He said unhappily. “Didn''t I tell you to stay in your room?"
Minerva wore a coat as she stood there. Upon hearing this, she slowly walked forward and nodded at Baldrick, “Baldrick.”
Baldrick nodded at her.
Minerva said, "Just go back. At the end of the day. he is your grandfather. You shouldn''t be so mean.”
Maddox stood still, and the frown on his face increased
But Minerva''s words made Baldrick look at her with a little more respect. Then he said. "Mr. Sebastian really has good taste. Miss Hanover is right.
Think about it, Mr. Sebastian, if you always treat Master Collins like this, he will only dislike Miss Hanover more. Actually, Miss Dormer is with Master
Collins. I heard a bit of their conversation when I was outside. She said she doesn''t have to be engaged to you, however, she wanted to see you and
tell you some things.”
Maddox sneered, "What does this have to do with me? Can she get engaged just because she wants to?”
Minerva tugged at his sleeve, "Go ahead. It''s like Baldrick said. If you really fought with your grandfather because of me, it''ll only make him hate me
even more."
Minerva took a few steps forward and smiled, "I won''t be sleeping so early. Hurry up and return. I''ll wait for you."
Her soft words easily entered Maddox''s heart. He was stunned for a second, and his deep gaze fell on Minerva''s face.
"Aren''t you worried that I won''te back?" He asked.
Minerva shook her head, "You wouldn''t."
Her eyes and tone were firm, there was no hesitation at all. She trusted him very much
Being trusted so much by her, Maddox subconsciously reached out his hand and lightly tapped her nose.
"Wait for me toe back.” He said.
"Okay." Minerva answered.
Before leaving, Baldrick looked at Minerva with gratitude and said, “Thank you for your help, Miss Hanover. Thank you very much.”
"You''re too kind. I just don''t want their rtionship to deteriorate because of me,” Minerva replied.
"Miss Hanover is very sensible. I hope Master Collins will approve of you.” Baldrick said.
“Thank you,” Minerva said.
After that, Maddox told her to lock the door and not open it even if she heard any more doorbell ringing that night. Just wait for him to return.
Minerva told him not to worry. After that, Maddox left with Baldrick.
After they left. Minerva returned to her room andid down on the bed. She suddenly remembered what Baldrick had said earlier.
He said that Monica wanted to meet Maddox for thest time and then not get engaged to him?
Minerva suddenly felt that something was not right. When she met Monica a few times before, the expression in her eyes did not seem to be as
willing to give up.
Why did she suddenly change her mind?
Was there any conspiracy in this?
After thinking for a while, Minerva still didn''t feel at ease, so she took out her phone to call Geoffrey.
When Geoffrey received Minerva’s call, he was still indulging in alcohol and women. He ran out as soon as he saw the caller ID.
People around him couldn''t help butin.
"Why has Geoffrey been receiving so many calls at nighttely? There''s someone every night. What''s going on?”
"I don’t know."
"s, I miss the days in the past."
Geoffrey found a quiet ce to answer Minerva’s call.
"Minerva, why are you calling me sote? Is there something important?"
"Yeah," Minerva told Geoffrey everything that had just happened, "I''m a little worried, but it''s really not good for me to show up, so...
Geoffrey understood what she
meant immediately, "Don''t worry. I
know what*6 do. Your intuition is .
correct. (also feel that there''s x
something wrong with Monica’ ‘sway
of doing things. How could she give
up-ori Sebastian so easily? Based on
her I personality, I think that:she
might be up to no good.” Content

Upon hearing this, Minerva held her breath, "Then..."
"I''m going to rush over to the Collins family home. I''ll try my best not to alert others. Let''s wait and see first.”
Minerva thought for a moment and said, “How about I go with you?"This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
‘No way, Minerva. If something
really happened, it''ll be too
dangerous... But don''t worry,
defittely protect Sebastian anc
britig him back to you in one piece."
Minerva knéw what he meant. She
was a woman, and she probably.
wouldntbe of much help even ifshe
went,-she might even add to the
troubte. In the end, she had no
chaice but to agree. Content
