Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1205

Jelly Bean agreed?

Maddox would be crazy to believe such nonsense. He laughed coldly and said, "You're not qualified to be her godfather. If you want to be a father so badly, give birth to one yourself."

Listening to Maddox's words, Geoffrey was instantly upset.

"You just said you owe me a favor. I only have this one request."

"Oh, really?" Maddox's expression was indifferent as if he was talking about something unimportant, "If that's the case, then let's forget about the favor."

Maddox turned around and walked away with Jelly Bean still giggling in his arms after he finished speaking. The child stopped laughing and looked at her father curiously with her big round eyes. Poor Geoffrey didn't see the change in Maddox's expression after he had turned around; tenderness had replaced his original coldness within a split second. He looked at Jelly Bean and said in a low voice, "Little Dummy, you nearly acknowledged a buffoon as your godfather."

Such a buffoon didn't matter.

Wasn't it enough to call him Uncle Geoffrey? Why did he want to be called Godfather? What a terrible address.

Maddox had made up his mind. He wasn't going to let Geoffrey be Jelly Bean's godfather.

After knowing Maddox wasn't going to change his mind, Geoffrey pulled out all the stops at Minerva. She was a little overwhelmed by his persistence.

"If Maddox is unwilling, then there is nothing I can do. Geoffrey... I'm not the only parent Jelly Bean has. Also, don't you think it'll sound better if Jelly Bean calls you Uncle Geoffrey instead?" Geoffrey was taken aback for a second. He tilted his head and doubted. "You think so?"

"Of course." Minerva smiled as she nodded and patted his shoulder. "Uncle Geoffrey sounds great. Think about it. Nowadays, the title 'godfather' is ambiguous. Although we don't think it's wrong, what about others? What will they think then? What if they misunderstand? So, after giving some thought, I think Maddox is right to refuse. No matter what, Jelly Bean is supposed to address you as an uncle. Besides, it's just a title. If you really like Jelly Bean, you will naturally be able to get along with her."

He had to admit, Minerva had successfully persuaded him.

People might really misunderstand if she called him Godfather. It would take ten or twenty years until she grew up, and Geoffrey would have become an old man then. It didn't matter if people gossiped about him, but not Jelly Bean.

She would be a young girl then. What if her reputation would be ruined? With that thought, he instantly gave up on the idea of becoming her godfather. Then, he said with a smile, "Alright, Uncle Geoffrey it is then. Don't worry, Minerva, I will be so nice to Jelly Bean!"

Just like that, the issue was never brought up again.

Minerva suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, did you come back alone this time?"

Geoffrey twitched his lips and said, "Of course not."

"Oh?" Minerva was a little curious. "Is there someone with you?"

Geoffrey nodded and said, "Of course there is. My grandfather insisted on following me, saying he had to attend Jelly Bean's one-month celebration. Why does he insist on coming all the way here? He's old, and he can barely walk, yet he still wants to run around!"

It turned out to be his grandfather. Minerva thought that he had come back with Lolita.

"Why'd you ask, Minerva?"

Minerva smiled thoughtfully. "It's nothing. I suddenly thought of Lolita. How is she doing?"

At that time, Lolita was miserable. However, Minerva wasn't a saint; she could barely get her life straight, so she had no time to think about Lolita.

Minerva sighed as she thought about her.

After all, Lolita also accompanied her for quite a while when she was abroad.

"That woman?" At the mention of Lolita, Geoffrey's expression became strange. He looked like he wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. "She's... doing well. Why wouldn't she be?" "Why do you look a little guilty?" Minerva squinted and scrutinized him.

Geoffrey felt even guiltier under her questioning. "I'm not guilty at all. She is doing quite well. I treat her to feasts every day, and she's moved to tears eating like a king. How could she not be doing well?" Minerva was rendered speechless.

She wanted to roll her eyes at Geoffrey's remarks. "She didn't return to Hidalgo?"

"No." Geoffrey shook his head, and a strange look flashed across his eyes. He didn't think that Lolita

would dare to return to Hidalgo. She had left everything behind and gone abroad to avoid getting married. She didn't have anything with

Pand

up. That

was why she ended up so miserable.

Lolita was so moved by Geoffrey's support that she would talk to him with tears in her eyes every time.

"Geoffrey, don't worry. When I make a lot of money, I'll definitely treat you to a meal!"

Every time Geoffrey saw her like this, he couldn't help but reach out and flick her forehead. He would tease her as she cried out in pain and rubbed her forehead.

"Can you have a little bit of dignity? I only gave you some food, and you're already so moved. If I treat you for another year, would you be so moved that you'll give me all your love?"

Geoffrey didn't know if his flick had dumbed Lolita; even though she was in pain, hearing his words, Lolita nodded tearfully.

Geoffrey's smile froze in an instant.

He was just joking with her. Who would've thought that she would respond like that? So, he was frozen on the spot for quite a while. When he finally came back to his senses, he knocked on Lolita's head again.

"Are you an idiot? You can be bribed

with just a few meals? Give me all your love. Honestly. Are you going to give all your love to every man who treats you to a meal? You are a girl. A girl Do you understand? How can you promise such a thing so casually? You will suffer; do you know that?"

He poked her forehead as he spoke; her fair forehead turned red. Lolita cried even harder. She looked at him and shook her head. "You don't understand. Ever since I came abroad alone... you are... the first person who has treated me so well." love?

"So you can give me all yo

I've only treated you to a few meals. You don't have to be so touched! Besides, you are Minerva's friend. I am just taking care of you on her behalf!"

After hearing Geoffrey's words, Lolita's eyes darkened slightly. However, he didn't think much of it and urged her to eat quickly.

Although he kept treating Lolita to feasts after that, his mood had changed a little. He didn't know if it was because he had made fun of her. But he felt a tinge of satisfaction every time he watched her beam with joy at the sight of food and lowered her head to eat.
