"Oh Beanie, I'm not young anymore. Didn't Master Collins ask you to follow your parents back to Hidalgo? How come you're staying all of a sudden? Was this... your own idea?" Beanie shook his head. "This was Mommy's idea. I won't be going back to Hidalgo with them. Mr. Baldrick, are you not willing to bring me home?"

Baldrick came to his senses and quickly shook his head. "No such thing. Master Collins would be so happy to hear that you're staying, but..."

He was still a little worried.

However, Beanie had already grabbed his hand and was walking him towards the airport terminal exit.

When they got into the car, Baldrick had just remembered that Geoffrey and Lolita had gone looking for Beanie earlier. Just as he was about to call them, his mobile phone rang. Baldrick answered the phone.

"Mr. Jules."

"Baldrick, where did you go? I went to Sebastian and he said that we'll understand once we come back to you. What is the situation? Where is the

kid?"

Baldrick simply told Geoffrey what had happened, and then said, "Mr. Jules, I have to go. I have to send Beanie to Master Collins now. You should head home too. Stay safe on the road." Then, he hung up the phone.

"Wait, no, can you take me with you..."

Beep...

Before Geoffrey could finish his words, Baldrick had already hung up the phone. "Did he have to hang up so quickly? I was hoping to see what the kid looked like."

Hearing this, Lolita tilted her head and said, "He looks exactly like President Collins."

"Exactly like him?" All of a sudden Geoffrey felt chills because he was imagining a six year old child with Sebastian's face. He began to think that the kid couldn't be that cute anymore. Sebastian's face was always so cold and irritated. How would a child look exactly like him?

He didn't dare to imagine it.

"Yes, he's adorable!"

However, at this time, Lolita added.

Geoffrey was petrified. He turned his head and stared at her, "Okay, let's stop talking about it. I feel scared just imagining a kid looking just like Sebastian. What would the kid be like? I wanted to meet him so badly before but now I feel... afraid."

Was the kid going to look at him with a cold glare just like Sebastian did?

"What are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense." She glared at him as if she was unhappy with the way he spoke about Beanie.

"Am I wrong? Don't you replace Sebastian's face scary at all? Since the kid looks exactly like him, I could only imagine how scary it is."

She genuinely thought that Beanie was adorable. Even though he looked just like Maddox, the boy was very outgoing, unlike his father. When she saw Beanie, she was surprised by how intricate his features

were.

"Are you judging President Collins? How does he look scary? Most women dream about men like him, unlike you..."

Geoffrey was offended by her words. "Lolita, you better choose your words carefully. Do you know what you just meant? Are you saying that I'm not as good looking as Sebastian? I'm way better looking than he is, okay?"

Hearing that, she gave him a faint look, looked into his eyes, and said in a cold tone, "Do you dare say that in front of President Collins!"

He kept quiet.

"If you dare to say that to his face then I'll be convinced that you're way more good looking than him."

"Do you think I'm afraid to do it? Sebastian is about to board his flight and I can't go through the security check, how am I supposed to tell him?" He replied.

As soon as she finished speaking, she handed him her phone and said, "That's alright, you can call him."

He was speechless all of a sudden.

He looked at her smooth and fair fingers that were holding the phone He couldn't help but lift the corners of his lips and sneered, "Lolita, are you trying to go against me? Did you forget who was going to treat you to a feast?"

As soon as he mentioned the feast, Lolita's expression changed instantly and she also quickly took back her mobile phone.

"Who said President Collins looked good? It's not just a little; you're way more good looking than him, okay? You're the most handsome man on this planet."

Her flattery sounded so fake; it sounded almost like sarcasm.

However, as soon as Geoffrey turned his head, he saw her staring at him with a serious expression. Although she exaggerated, was she honestly praising him?

Did she mean it? He kept his thoughts to himself.

He knew that the reason she compromised was all because of the feast he had promised. There was a flash of helplessness in his eyes, and he couldn't help but reach out his index finger and flicked her forehead.

"Alright, you foodie! Stop the insincere praises! You're exaggerating."

"Ouch!"

She was just looking at him with a serious gaze As a result, she got her forehead flicked. Her hand went instinctively to her forehead where it hurt. When she noticed that he had walked away, she quickened her pace behind him. "Who said those were insincere praises? I was telling the truth. I couldn't be more serious about it."

Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh and made fun of her, "If I was to treat you to a feast right now, would you say more of those exaggerated compliments?"

She immediately nodded solemnly and said, "For sure!"

He was speechless.

He felt that his throat was choking on something, and he didn't manage to say a word. How much did she love food, he thought to himself.

The main issue was that despite eating a lot, she was still so skinny; she looked malnourished.

"Let's go then. I'll be a generous person and bring you to a high quality restaurant."

Hearing this, Lolita almost drooled, but for the sake of her image, she held back. She followed him to the car and slid into the passenger's seat. Then, she stared at Geoffrey with a straight face after she put on her seatbelt.

"I will work hard to make more money and I'll treat you back!"

Seeing her serious look, he curled up his lips playfully and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you to treat me back when you're rich."

"Yes, yes!"

At the Collins family manor.

A lonely old man stood by the window, holding a cane. His back looked lonely and bleak. Although be was looking out of the window, the scenery outside the window did not attract his gaze. His eyes were looking far away, and no one knew What he was looking at.

"They should be on the plane by now?" After a long time, the old man muttered in a grief-stricken tone.

Perhaps because he had been standing for too long, the old man's legs did not have as much energy compared to earlier. He couldn't take it anymore and had to lean against the table, hobbling forward with the help of his cane.

After he sat down, the maid immediately went forward and poured him a cup of tea.

"Master Collins, don't feel so sad about it. Drink some tea and soothe your throat."

Jarold looked at the tea that the maid had placed in front of him. Usually, this was his favorite tea, but that day, he didn't have the slightest desire to drink it. In fact, he felt a little angry. "Take the tea away."

The maid did not understand what he meant. "Master Collins?"

Jarold turned his head, and the maid immediately came to her senses. "Yes!"
