Chapter 917
Abigail had asked them to leave. As a result, both of them stood there motionlessly like two statues. They could not open the door if they did not
move.
"I''ve already told you to leave. Why are you still standing here?" She asked.
Jarold coughed lightly and Baldrick finally reacted. He stepped forward and exined with a smile.
"Miss Abigail, we tried calling Mr. Sebastian by phone, but he didn''t answer his phone at all. Old Master and I were worried about him since today is
New Year''s Eve, so we came over to see him."
Upon hearing this, Abigail raised her eyebrows and asked, "And then?"
Baldrick chuckled.
"What Master Collins means is that as long as we see that Mr. Sebastian alright, he will leave.”
"Tsk!" She scoffed, "What if you can''t meet with him? Are you going to stay here if you can''t meet with him?"
Jarold replied, "I''m just waiting here for Sebastian toe back. What''s wrong with that?"
Abigail still wanted to say something, but Minerva sensed something. She quickly stopped Abigail and tock the initiative to step forward.
"No problem. Grandpa, pleasee in," Minerva said while opening the door.
When he finally heard something pleasant, Jarold snorted haughtily, "At least you know what''s good for you."
Minerva felt helpless in her heart. She stepped forward to open the door and let Jarold and Baldrick enter. Vera also snuck in. Minerva noticed that
Abigail was still standing at the door with a displeased expression
"Auntie Stark?"
"Why did you let him go inside? It''s New Year''s Eve today. Aren''t we looking for trouble if we let him stay here?"
"Auntie Stark, don''t be angry." Minerva took her hand and said softly, "You also know that it''s New Year''s Eve today. He''ll be very lonely staying inside
arge house."
Upon hearing this, Abigail was shocked. ording to Minerva''s words, she could imagine Jarcld alone in the grand house. There were all sorts of
dishes ced in front of him, but there was not a single person beside him whom he could talk to.
This scene was indeed rather pitiful.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.
However, if it was Jarold, Abigail wouldn''t think that he was pitiful. He was hateful.
After all, a pitiful person must have a hateful side.
He had be so pitiful because of his own actions. If he had not done those things in the past, she and her sister would not have left home.
When she thought of Aurora, Abigail''s face became gloomy. She was in a bad mood, so she lowered her eyes and answered coldly.
"What''s so pitiful about him? My sister is even more pitiful under the cold ground.”
"Her sister..." Minerva was stunned.
Abigail must be referring to Maddox''s mother, Aurora Stark.
Furthermore, when Aurora was mentioned, Abigail''s aura immediately became different. Minerva did not dare to say anything and could only exin
in a low voice, "I''m sorry, Auntie Stark. I didn''t mean to let him in. I just feel that... there is always a blood connection between family members.”
Upon hearing Minerva me herself, Abigail came back to her senses.
"Forget it, let''s just leave it like this," she remarked.
She walked in, and Minerva followed her after standing in the same spot for a while.
The nanny was helping them at first, but because it was New Year, Abigail asked her to leave in advance as she nned to cook by herself. She also
had prepared the ingredients.
However, now, as Jarold was here, she wasn''t in the mood to do anything.
Additionally, Maddox was still in the hospital, so she was not interested in doing anything
After Jarold sat down, he looked around and found that there was no trace of Maddox, so he asked indifferently, "Where is Sebastian?"
Abigail sat down opposite him and responded coldly, "What does it have to do with you? Don''t you just want to wait for him? Just wait for him toe
back home. Don''t ask anything."
Her attitude was as poor as always. Jarold was extremely sullen, but he didn''t dare to say anything harsh to her. His lips moved, and he nced at
Minerva who was sitting beside her.
Minerva was tidying up the tes and utensils when she sensed Jarold''s gaze on her. She asked, "Grandfather, Baldrick, you guys haven''t had
dinner, right?"
Baldrick rubbed his hands. After that, he smiled while nodding his head.
Jarold wanted to say something. but he caught sight of Abigail. In the end, he snorted.
Sure enough, before Abigail could say anything, Minervamented, "Great, we are going to have dinner now. Grandpa and Baldrick, do you guys
want to join us?"
Jarold knitted his brows, and just as he was still thinking about how to respond, Baldrick nodded obediently, "Alright. Thank you so much, Madam
Minerva."
His manner of addressing her caused Jarold''s brows to furrow even more.
"What was going on with Baldrick? I have not agreed to let Minerva be together with Sebastian, yet he has already taken the initiative to call her
Madam Minerva?”
Thinking up to this point, Jarold red at Baldrick and his gaze was as sharp as a knife.
Baldrick felt that Jarold was staring at him sharply, but he was not afraid. He cracked a smile at Minerva.
ording to his understanding of Jarold, he certainly wouldn''t dare to say something to him face to face at this time, so it seemed to be nothing
wrong for him to call her in that way.
"Madam Minerva is already pregnant. It would be too cruel if we break them up again,” Baldrick thought to himself.
Vera followed Minerva to clean up. Looking at the two who were sitting in the living room, she lowered her voice and talked to her.
"Will they get into a fight when they''re eating?" Vera asked.
Minerva took a lock at the living room and could not help but pout her lips. "l don''t think so. Even if they start a fight, it won''t affect both of us.”
Vera pointed out, "What are you talking about!"
"Don''t worry. Didn''t you see that Maddox''s grandfather always listens to Auntie Stark? He doesn''t even dare to say anything harsh to her. They won''t
quarrel with each other.”
Upon hearing Minerva''s words, Vera observed him carefully and realized that it was indeed just as she had described.
Seeing this, Vera finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, she was worried about Minerva
"Maddox''s grandfather doesn''t seem
to like you vafy much. Does he
always make things difficult for you?
Are you {faving a hard time here NN
alone? Minerva... I feel that I should
leave the affairs of mypany
aside and live with you rightnow.
You can tell me if anything-happens
or if you''re sad.”
After Vera finished speaking, she
was about tory. She was very
close with Minerva. She thought
about Miaerfva, who had no one <
close to fer, when she went abroad.
Furthermore, thinking of the fact
that Maddox had forgotten about
her, and how his grandfather had
tried every means to stop’her, she
felt very bad for her. Content
belongs to
Minerva was astounded. She shook her head and answered gently, "Speaking of this, I don''t have many chances to meet with him."
Back then in thepany, Jarold
suddenly care to look for her and
asked Batdrick to give her the check,
trying to''ask her to leave Maddox"
However, at that time, she hadC
pretended to be crazy, and itdidn''t
seem to be anything to be afraid of.
Moreover, Minerva felt that Jarold did not seem to be very difficult to deal with.
