Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1004

The maid left the room along with the tea.

The room turned silent. Jarold stared at the print of the table cloth and let out a heavy sigh.

A few days ago, when his great-grandson was still here, this room was filled with their combined laughter. It was lively, but now that Beanie had left, this place felt empty again.

Just like in the past countless lonely days he had lived in.

Oh Jarold, you're an old man now. You have lived through the past alone and this is just how it used to be, so why aren't you used to it? He wondered to himself.

Once a person experienced warmth, it was hard to go back to being in the cold.

He let out a few sighs continuously. The two maids standing by the entrance looked at each other helplessly but didn't say a word. They were afraid that if Master Collins heard them speak, he would get upset and punish them.

After all, they all knew they had to take care of his emotions at a time like this.

After some time, he felt that his back was aching.

"Alas, it's true that we get more useless when we're old."

He wanted to stand up, but at this moment, a childish voice suddenly came into the room.

"Great-Grandpa!"

Jarold's body trembled. He felt as though he was hallucinating. Otherwise, how could he have heard Beanie's voice?

This must be a hallucination!

He got up from the chair as footsteps approached him from behind.

Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!

Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!

The sound of footsteps came closer and soon arrived behind him. Then, the footsteps stopped and he could hear the child being out of breath. "Great-Grandpa! I'm back!"

Jarold was stunned. Only after being in daze for a few seconds, did he turn his head.

At a glance, he saw Beanie standing in front of him.

At that moment, Jarold couldn't believe his eyes. Beanie should have been on the flight with his parents. How could he be standing in front of him?

They looked at each other for a few seconds before Jarold suddenly ignored Beanie and walked towards the entrance.

"Baldrick! Baldrick!"

He was hallucinating. He wanted to get Baldrick to call the doctor.

Beanie had originally thought that Jarold would be very happy to see him, but he didn't expect that Jarold would ignore him. His little head tilted slightly. Could his great grandfather be angry that he was back again?

Thinking of this, Beanie quickly chased up to him.

"Great-Grandpa, are you angry with me? But I want to stay and accompany you."

Bang!

The little guy's head bumped into Jarold's leg. He stopped in his tracks. At the same time, Baldrick, whose name had just been called, walked in and said with a smile, "Master Collins." "What... What's going on?" Jarold's voice trembled slightly. "Did you send them off well?"

"Yes." Baldrick nodded. "They are on the flight right now."

Hearing this, Jarold let out a sigh of relief. "That's good."

However, at the same time, the light in his eyes also dimmed. Baldrick had already sent Beanie and his parents off at the airport, so it was truly a hallucination when he saw the child coming back. Not to mention that Beanie had bumped into his leg earlier. Jarold thought that it was his own imagination too.

"Master Collins." Baldrick coughed

lightly. He seemed to have

something to say but stopped. After a while, ke finally said, "Madam Minerva decided to let Beanie stay to accompany you. Therefore,

brought him back here. I hope that you don't mind me doing this."

Jarold's eyes widened, as though he didn't dare to believe it.

He tried to understand Baldrick's words and he murmured to himself.

"What did you say? What happened just now... wasn't my hallucination?"

Did Beanie really come back?! He didn't get on the plane?

At first, Baldrick was wondering why Master Collins ignored Beanie, but he never expected this to be the reason. He couldn't help laughing out, "Master Collins, how could this be your hallucination? Beanie is standing right behind you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Beanie's slightly sad voice came from behind him.

"Great-Grandpa, do you not like me?"

Jarold was dumbfounded.

"How is that possible?"

How could he dislike his precious great-grandson? This would never happen in a million years!

He quickly turned around and leaned over, wanting to pick Beanie up. He hurriedly explained, "Beanie, don't get me wrong. How could I not like you? It's just that I thought that you were on the plane just now and didn't know that you'd come back!"

Beanie's expression was still gloomy and unhappy. He said, "But when you saw me just now, you didn't seem happy at all."

"I'm happy! I'm really happy! I can't be more happy about this! It's just that... How come you didn't get on the plane? Didn't we agree that you're going back to Hidalgo with your parents? What happened?"

Beanie opened his mouth and

revealed a clean set of teeth.

"Mommy said that you're all alone by

himself here and wants me to stay

here to accompany you, Great-

Grandpa. Mommy and Daddy are

going to replace a way and they will come and bring us back to Hidalgo!"

It was Minerva's idea again.

Jarold's heart was filled with bitterness. He didn't expect his granddaughter-in-law to know how to care for an old man like him. It was just that, the more she acted like this, the more he would recall what he had done to her previously in the past. He felt even more ashamed of himself.

"Did your Daddy and Mommy discuss this?"

Beanie nodded solemnly and reached out to pinch Jarold's face. "When the time comes, will you go back to Hidalgo with us?

"Go back together?"

Jarold was a little excited. For him to be able to return to the country with his descendants, and to be able to live lively together as a family, it was more than he could ever dream of. However, if he did follow them back to Hidalgo, what would happen to Collins Corporation?

What should he do about the company then? He wanted to pass it on all to Maddox but it seemed like he might not want it.

Should he give the company to his daughter, Abigail?

She would probably roll her eyes at him and say, "Give it to whoever you want. Do you think I want your crappy company?"

As soon as he thought of this, Jarold felt a headache coming.

What a pain to think about!

"Let's talk about this later. Since you're staying, how about we go out for the day?"

Beanie tilted his head and nodded. "Okay!"

After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, Minerva was not feeling well.

It was probably because she was pregnant, but when she got off the plane, her face looked pale. Moreover, she didn't eat anything during the flight.

Although Maddox had taken good care of her during the flight, she still felt uncomfortable.

After getting off the plane and resting on the lounge's reclining chair, she finally felt her body and mind relax gradually.

"Minerva, how are you feeling? Better?"

Vera squatted in front of her, holding a glass of warm water in her hand. "Drink some water."
