Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 796

The soup was so delicious! Geoffrey did not expect Minerva to have such skills. He would definitely come over more often for free meals in the future. Geoffrey thought to himself.

After finishing a bowl, Geoffrey looked at Minerva happily with the bowl in his hands.

"May I have another bowl?" He asked.

Minerva glanced at him and saw the look of endless anticipation on his face. He looked as if he was enjoying the fish soup so much that he was intoxicated. Hence, she couldn't help but laugh. Someone loving their food was a kind of affirmation for all chefs.

Although Minerva wasn't a chef, she was the one who cooked dinner for today. It was a very special kind of approval and praise for her when Geoffrey liked the food she cooked so much. Of course, she was happy. She stood up and took his bowl without a second thought.

"Okay, I'll serve you another bowl," She said.

However, Maddox, who had been sitting quietly all this while, finally could not bear it any longer and opened his mouth to speak.

"Geoffrey, don't you have hands?" He said coldly.

The abrupt voice stunned the two of them. Geoffrey and Maddox looked at each other and he saw the strong warning in Maddox's dark eyes.

He stayed silent for a while before he withdrew his gaze and got up. "I'll do it myself!"

Then, he took the bowl from Minerva. He stood up and filled his bowl with fish soup, feeling very annoyed.

Humph, Sebastian must be jealous that Minerva had served him fish soup personally, but didn't do so for him.

Minerva only realized that Maddox had not started eating even after he sat down.

Was the food not to his liking? Minerva wasn't sure what he was thinking at the moment. Thus, she could only take a bowl and serve him some soup as well.

"How about... you have a bowl offish soup first?"

Then, Geoffrey snuck a glance at Maddox.

Maddox looked at the bowl of fish soup in front of him and secretly compared it with Geoffrey's. It seemed that the amount of fish soup was a little more than Geoffrey's, which made him feel a little better. He looked up and cast a cold glance at Minerva.

Only now did she know what to do.

In fact, it was not that he wanted Minerva to serve him fish soup. It was just that she gave Geoffrey the soup and left him alone, which made him annoyed.

Then, Minerva saw that Maddox finally started to eat as he brought the fish soup to his lips. When he took a sip and put down the bowl, she asked quickly, "How is it?"

Since Geoffrey liked it so much, which meant that her fish soup was not bad, wasn't it?

However, Maddox was silent.

Seeing that she was looking at him eagerly with enthusiasm, her pale face and expectant eyes anticipated his praise.

"Of course it's good. Sebastian, your assistant's cooking skills aren't bad. I think...we can come here often to eat in the future." Geoffrey said.

Upon hearing this, Maddox's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his voice also became harsh.

"It's not bad," Maddox said.

Minerva's eyes, which had been filled with expectation earlier, turned dull in an instant and Geoffrey's smile froze on his lips. After a while, he leaned back and said, "You're so demanding. Do you think everyone is as high-end as the cooks employed by your family? Don't be too picky when you're eating at someone else's home."

"It's okay..." Minerva quickly tried to defuse the situation. She explained, "I think he's right. I'm not a proper cook, so I can't possibly cook all that well. Let's eat."

After saying that, Minerva picked up her bowl and began to eat.

In fact, Maddox's answer was within her expectations. She didn't expect Maddox to praise her, otherwise, he wouldn't be called Maddox.

This was fine.

The scene of her lowered head made Maddox narrow his eyes. Was it his illusion?

He felt that Minerva seemed to be disappointed.

What was she disappointed at? Because he didn't praise her?

But Geoffrey had already praised her a lot. Did she still need his affirmation?

On the other hand, Geoffrey was scolding Maddox in his heart.

The three of them had dinner with different thoughts in mind.

After dinner, Minerva took all the dishes into the kitchen, and Geoffrey took the opportunity to scold Maddox.

"Sebastian, is this how you pursue a girl?"

Upon hearing this, Maddox frowned. "What did you say?" he said.

"Am I wrong? She cooked dinner for you, so will it hurt if you praised her?" Geoffrey said.

Geoffrey leaned over and lowered his voice. "Don't blame me for not telling you. You won't be able to pursue a girl like this."

Then, Maddox finally glanced at him.

This glance made Geoffrey tremble with fear. He cleared his throat lightly and looked away. "Pretend I said nothing. I feel sad for your assistant. She prepared a meal for you but didn't get any affirmation. She is a girl, she might get upset."

Maddox kept silent.

The phone suddenly rang and Maddox looked at the caller ID.

"Crap, I forgot about Monica when I came here. Since Master Collins is calling you, he's not going to get you in trouble, right?" Geoffrey hurriedly explained after taking a look at the caller

ID.

Nevertheless, Maddox answered the call calmly.

"Grandpa."

"You brat, I told you to take good care of Monica. Where are you?" Master Collins said

Maddox pursed his thin lips and suddenly glanced at Geoffrey. He explained in a low voice, "Geoffrey got into trouble. He's asked me to take care of it for him."

A huge weight seemed to collapse onto Geoffrey's shoulders.

F*ck, who did he provoke?

"What? Geoffrey, this brat... He's never been good for anything. Don't worry about him anymore. Come back right now. I have something important to discuss with you." An important matter...

Maddox squinted his shapely eyes and looked towards the kitchen subconsciously. Then, he said coldly, "I'm afraid I can't. Grandfather, I have something else to do right now." "Didn't I say to leave Geoffrey alone? Come back quickly. This is very important," He said.

"There seems to be some more trouble brewing. I'll hang up first." After Maddox finished speaking, he immediately hung up Jarold's call, not giving him any chance to retort. Then, Geoffrey widened his eyes. "An important matter? Don't tell me it's about your marriage with Monica?" he said.

Maddox didn't respond.

His expression was unhappy, and his thin lips stayed pursed tightly.

Geoffrey looked towards the kitchen. "Let me tell you, there's no way you can run away from this... Master Collins will definitely betroth you and Monica to each other. It'll be very difficult for you to resist." he said.

"I don't need others to make decisions for me," Maddox said coldly.

No one could do that. Even if Jarold was his grandfather, so what?

"But he's your grandfather. Forget it... I think this is a serious matter. Why don't... we go back? Running away is not a good choice." Geoffrey replied.

At this moment, Minerva walked out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit that she cut. She bent down and placed it in front of them.

However, Geoffrey said, "Minerva, it's getting late. We have to go."

Upon hearing this, Minerva was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head to look at the watch on her wrist.

It was indeed not early as it was already seven o'clock. She didn't expect time to pass so fast. She nodded and said. "Okay, I'll see the both of you off."
