Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 997

Sam looked at her with a tender gaze, which looked even more intense under the shine of the lights. His gaze was filled with his deep feelings towards her. Vera had never noticed it in the past but after he confessed his feelings towards her, she finally realized it.

She was startled and she took a few steps back.

Then, she turned around.

"Get out," she said.

"Fine, I'll go out since you hate it so much to be in the same space as me."

She didn't know that the moment she turned her back to him, the light in his eyes turned dim. He turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

Bang!

The kitchen door was closed and the surroundings turned peaceful. She turned back around slowly.

She looked at the door in a daze for a while then withdrew her somewhat helpless eyes.

Sam was great but when it came to love, things could not be forced, like how she couldn't force things with Quill either.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and let out a long sigh. Then, she started preparing the vegetables.

After Minerva pulled Geoffrey out of the kitchen, he bombarded her with endless questions like a curious child, "Minny, you and Sebastian had a kid together? What does he look like? Is he in the house? Can I meet him? I can't believe it!"

He sounded so excited as if he was the father of her child. She couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows and asked, "Why are you being so excited?"

He realized that he was acting too thrilled. He rubbed his head in embarrassment with a laugh and said, "I'm just happy for my good friend, Sebastian. Moreover, I knew that you two had a past but I didn't know that you had a child together. How old is he?"

"He's five years old," she replied. She later corrected herself, "After this new year, he will be six years old."

After hearing the child's age, Geoffrey turned silent.

It took him a long time to replace his voice again, his throat was dry.

"Six years old? Wow, that is unbelievable! Wait a minute..." He fumbled through the thoughts in his head, then continued with a surprised face, "Before this you told me that you and Sebastian were just about to plan for marriage, then he got into an accident. It hadn't been that long since you told me that. How could you have a child that's six years old?"

He started to visualize their story in his head and shocked himself. "Unless... the child is not Sebastian's?" He asked as he stared at her with his eyes wide open.

She was speechless.

She was amazed at his wild imagination.

She really wanted to ask him how he managed to come to that conclusion.

However, before she could open her mouth to explain, another voice rang through the room.

"Young Master Beanie is the child that Young Master Yardley and Mrs. Yardley had together in the past. Sir, there are things that you shouldn't make assumptions about."

She looked over and realized that Sam had walked out from the kitchen. Wasn't he supposed to help Vera? She wondered.

Geoffrey made eye contact with Sam then immediately narrowed his eyes into slits and looked at him from head to toe. Previously, he was still trying to figure out his identity, but after he opened his mouth to speak, he found his answer.

"So, you're Sebastian's subordinate."

Sebastian.

Sam knew that Maddox had changed his name to Sebastian after he moved here. He knew that Geoffrey was talking about him.

Sam didn't reply. Geoffrey retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "I really want to meet Sebastian's child. Should he call me Uncle Geoffrey then? Where is he, Minny?"

She answered, "Beanie isn't here right now. He is with his great-grandfather at the moment. If you want to meet him, you can visit him at the Collins family manor."

Hearing that, Geoffrey instantly gave in and immediately waved his hand to disregard that thought.

"Forget about it then, I'll meet him

when I get the chance. If I go visit the Collins family, Master Collins is going to give me a lecture and he might even report my whereabouts to my grandfather. If that happens, he's going to ground me again. You guys are leaving in three days and if my freedom gets restricted again, I

won't be able to spend time with you guys!"

Speaking of that, he was reminded about how he suffered for the past week and started ranting about it again.

Minerva had already heard his story on the phone and when she saw that he was about to repeat his sad tale, she gave him a smile and said, "I'm going to take a nap in my room." Then, she left him alone and went back to her bedroom.

Geoffrey looked at her walking away in disbelief.

"Is something wrong? Does Minny replace me that annoying?" He thought to himself after he was left all alone.

Since Minerva had left, he turned to look at Sam who was also in the living room. Sam felt the hairs stand behind his neck when Geoffrey looked at him.

"What is it?" Sam raised his eyebrows.

Geoffrey walked towards him and put his arm on his shoulders. "Brother, you're under Sebastian, right? Are you free right now? Let's have a chat." Sam's eyebrows twitched, and the corner of his mouth twitched too.

Then, he listened to Geoffrey ranting about his life and he could barely keep a straight face as he listened to him.

Geoffrey said that they were going to have a chat but in reality, he just went on about his own life.

Sam was a great listener and since he had nothing else to do at that moment, he just sat and listened to Geoffrey the entire time without interrupting him.

When Geoffrey finished his story, he felt at ease. He realized that Sam was still sitting in front of him, and he was moved by him. Then, he turned and gave him a big hug.

"Brother, you're such a good friend! You stayed and listened to me! What is your name? We can be best friends!"

After that, Geoffrey reached out his arm and patted his own chest as he hinted Sam to mimic him.

Sam glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. His mouth twitched slightly as he said, "Sam Sorrento." "Sam Sorrento? What a great name! My name is Geoffrey Jules! From now on, we are best friends!" Sam was speechless.

"So are you a couple with that girl earlier? Wait no that's not right. You two are probably not a couple but you were trying to protect her. Do you like her?"

Sam pursed his lips and asked with some displeasure, "Is it your hobby to gossip about other people's personal matters?"

"Come on, don't say that! It's not gossiping, it's called caring," Geoffrey replied with a straight face.

Sam was at a loss for words.

"Since we are best friends now, isn't it normal for me to care about what you're going through?"

Sam turned his head and pushed his hand away. "What do you want?" He asked.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid that

I'll try to steal your girl? Let me tell

you, I, Geoffrey Jules, would never hit on a friend's girl. Moreover, a best friend! It's also important for me to understand your situation!

Sam gave him a look of incredulity.

The

way that at this man spoke made him sound like a womanizer... and why did he seem so proud about it? How was it that Young Master

Yardley was good friends withe).ne

someone like this? Minerva seemed to treat him kindly too.
