Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"I don't think I'll stay for dinner, and about Master Collins, I'll keep him company, just like I have all these years. Madam Minerva, you don't have to worry about it." For sreason, she felt heartbroken for Jarold when she heard Baldrick's words.

She felt saddened for Jarold who was already well advanced in years, living alone abroad with no family or relatives with him.

She felt heavy in her heart but she didn't say anything else.

After sending Baldrick off, Minerva returned to her room. She opened her laptop and went online to check on information about Collins Corporation.

She did not know much about the Collins family and at that moment, she was curious to find out more about them.

Perhaps, if the situation allowed, she and Maddox could invite Jarold to live with them once they had settled in Hidalgo.

After all, he was already an elderly man. It wasn't easy for him to finally have family members around him, and now he had to go back to living by himself.

The feeling of losing what you had just gained was unbearable.

She was focused on the research. When Beanie cout of his shower, she was still engrossed with her laptop Beanie's body was still damp from the shower. He hugged her neck and asked, "Mommy, what are you looking at?" Upon hearing his childish voice, Minerva grabbed the pair of hands around her neck and said softly, "I'm just doing sresearch. You're done with your shower?" He nodded obediently.

Then, he looked at the content on her laptop and said with a smirk, "Isn't this Great-Grandpa?" "That's right." She looked through the information on the Collins family and there were many articles about Jarold as an entrepreneur. There were also video interviews done with him. She looked through all of them and realized that he was very calm in all his interviews and he would answer all the questions clearly.

However, towards the end of a video interview, a snide reporter asked Jarold if his success was contributed by the help of his family members.

The reason she asked him that question was because they thought it was a smart way to get him to talk about his family. Although nobody in the public truly knew the story behind him and his family, and the reason why his children left him, everyone knew it happened. It was likely that the interviewer did not know about his past when she brought up that question.

She couldn't ask for answers directly so she tried to play it smart with other questions.

When Jarold was asked that question, his expression changed from being confident to solemn. The change in his emotions were obvious to the viewers.

He looked at the reporter who asked the question and said in a cold voice, "Are you sure you prepared for this interview? How could you ask this question?" At that time, it was a live broadcast. The inexperienced reporter thought that a successful entrepreneur like Jarold would not get upset while he was live but he unexpectedly did. She was caught off guard and didn't know how to react.

Fortunately, the experienced reporters went forward to smoothly cover up for her, but in the end, the interview still ended on bad terms.

The comments on the video were varied.

"Was there something wrong with the reporter's brain? What kind of question was that? How could she ask him this question? Let alone a reporter, even normal citizens like us knew about the entrepreneur's relationship with his family members." "It's so obvious that the reporter asked that question on purpose. Was she trying to be smart? Who does she think she is? Why did she think Jarold Collins would make an exception for her?" "Hey, you guys with the comments above, what's wrong with asking that question? I think that she had already put it in the nicest way possible! Or do you expect her to ask him why his family didn't like being with him?" "Are you serious about your comment? Why should he even answer your questions about his private life? Moreover, you actually feel proud about having these questions asked? It doesn't matter if she put it in a nice way or not, the hurt would have felt all the sto him!" Looking at these comments, Minerva shook her head helplessly.

The netizens had nothing better to do that they would argue over a video.

She let out a sigh. All of a sudden, Beanie said, "Mommy, that reporter is terrible. She knew that it was a sensitive question for Great-Grandpa but she still brought it up." Minerva carried him up to her lap.

She reached out her hand to turn the video off as she said, "I think that she had crossed the line too. She shouldn't rub salt onto one's wound. Nevertheless, it's also understandable if she had done it to increase her views or to boost her career." He snorted, "She bullied Great-Grandpa! I don't want to understand her!" She smiled and gently rubbed his forehead with her warm palm, "Therefore, Beanie, no matter what you do in the future, just try your best. You should never build your success on someone else's pain for the sake of your career, like what she did." He nodded heavily.

"Yes, Mommy, I'll remember that." "Good boy!" Then, the both of them continued looking through videos as Beanie leaned in front of the laptop, enjoying the moment.

After a long while, he turned back to look at Minerva.

"Mommy, why did Great-Grandpa sendback here today?" Hearing his question, she thought of what Baldrick had said to her earlier.

She hesitated to tell the truth to Beanie. After thinking for a while, she euphemistically asked, "Beanie, do you want to go back to Hidalgo withand Daddy?" He blinked his eyes. The child's eyes were bright and clear like spring water.

"Yes, I do!"

He nodded honestly, but a thought flashed through his mind. He tilted his head slightly and said, "But I don't want Great Grandpa to be all alone and I want to spend more twith him." Sure enough, it was what she had expected.

Minerva knew that her precious son was the most compassionate child on earth but because he was too understanding, he would always put other people first and neglect his own desires. Just like how Beanie expressed that although he wanted to return hwith his parents, but because he felt sorry for his great-grandfather, he had to give up on the idea to stay with him. If that was the case, it would mean that he had given up on his own preferences and desires.

How could djr bear to let her son sacrifice so much at such a young age? It seemed like she had to find a chance to talk to Maddox about her idea earlier.

"How about this? I will have a talk with Daddy and we'll see if we can bring your great-grandfather together with us back to Hidalgo. Then, you'll be able to see us everyday and also spend twith your Great-Grandpa." He blinked his eyes again. "Can we do that? Is Great- Grandpa going to follow us back to Hidalgo?" "That's where we need your help, Beanie," she smiled as slyness flashed through her beautiful gaze.

He looked at her innocently. "Why do I feel like I just fell into Mommy's trap?" He thought to himself.

She leaned forward to press her cheek against his with affection and said in a low voice, "I have

something to discuss with you. I want you to stay with your Great Grandpa for now. Your daddy and will e go back to Hidalgo first and once we have settled the affairs there, then we will cand get you and Great-Grandpa. What do you think?" X
