After Geoffrey entered, he quickly squeezed his way to the kitchen. He was surprised and delighted at the stime.
"Wow, we're having fish soup today? That's great!" He exclaimed.
Maddox stood silently at the door and did not enter.
He stared at him. If looks could kill, Geoffrey would have dropped dead at that moment. How was it that he did not feel that Geoffrey deserved a beating in the past? It seemed that he was really looking for trouble.
Suddenly a thought cinto Maddox's mind and he took out his phone.
"Minerva!" Geoffrey snuck into the kitchen while Maddox was still outside. He whispered to her, "Why is Sebastian here?" She answered, "He cwithwhen he got off work. He said he is here to retrieve the clothes he left yesterday." Oh? Geoffrey could not help but raise his eyebrows. He asked, "Yesterday's clothes? He said he wanted to get them himself?" "Yes," she nodded.
"Do you believe him?" He leaned over, narrowed his eyes and asked.

Of course, she would not tell him about the incident of her undergarment hanging on Maddox's jacket. Such an embarrassing event should be kept a secret between both Maddox and her.
Geoffrey misunderstood and laughed out loud immediately after hearing what she said, "Expensive? The heir of the Collins Corporation actually used the word expensive? Minerva, I have to say, you are too simple-minded!" Seeing that she continued to stare at him, Geoffrey continued, "I think he's trying to find an excuse to cover for a meal. This is a new side of Sebastian fortoo." It was clear that he wanted to be with her, thus he cup with all sorts of excuses.
Compared to Geoffrey, Sebastian was too proud and arrogant. Thankfully it was Minerva; if it had been other women, they probably would've stayed away.
However, with Maddox's looks, let alone his arrogance, as long as he did not refuse her, which woman would stay away? If that was the case, then there was no need to compare himself to Maddox. He would never be able to compete with him.
"What are you guys doing?" A cold voice ringed through the kitchen.
Minerva and Geoffrey turned at the stand saw Maddox leaning against the door of the kitchen. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and stared at them coldly.
Geoffrey realized that he was standing too close to Minerva, and it annoyed Sebastian very much. The look in his eyes made it seem as though he was going to be sent to the brink of death.
"Haha, nothing much. I was just asking Minerva how she cooked the meals. Why are you so nervous?" He winked at Maddox purposely. Seeing him act like this in front of the woman he liked, Geoffrey wanted to provoke him all the more and strip him bare of his hard shell.
In his eyes, Maddox had always been a cold and poised person who could be careless about anyone. Perhaps this was his guilty-pleasure. He wanted to see Maddox lose his mind for the sake of a woman. Just thinking about it... made him feel excited! As he thought about it, the smugness in his eyes becmore and more obvious. However, at that moment, his phone rang. He took a look at the caller ID, his face fell.
Grandpa? F*ck! Why did he call him at this time? He glanced at Minerva and answered the call, "Grandpa?" "Geoffrey, get your a*s back here right now," Oscar said.
"Grandpa, what have I done wrong today? Why are you so fierce toas soon as I answered the phone?" He answered.
He recalled back to what he did in the past carefully. He couldn't find any mistake he made. Why did his grandfather like that? "How dare you say you didn't do anything wrong? Where are you now? Are you out of your mind again? You b*stard, when can you be more mature and not letworry so much?" Oscar said. Geoffrey was confused because he hadn't a clue about what had happened. However, Oscar, on the other end of the line, was going off at him without giving him a chance to explain. "B*stard, if you don't show up in front ofwithin half an hour, don't blme for cancelling all your bank cards!" He threatened Geoffrey.
"Grandpa, why all of a sudden..." Pa! He had already hung up the phone, and there was a dead tone on the other line.
Geoffrey stood still, holding his phone. He was still in a daze.
Maddox, who witnessed the scene, had a faint smile on his face. His eyes darkened and he sneered, "Judging from your expression, it seems that you have something to settle." Geoffrey, who had a confused look on his face suddenly cto his senses when he met Maddox's gaze.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had planned it! F*ck! This b*stard actually betrayed his friend for a woman? "What's wrong?" Minerva looked at him curiously, "Who was the person who called you?" Geoffrey cback to his senses. He put on a false smile and said, "Um... My grandfather calledto tellthat he had something urgent to discuss with me. Thus...I'm afraid that I won't be able to stay for dinner." After that, his face showed a painful and regretful expression, "Can I chere tomorrow to have a free meal?" Minerva remained quiet.
She nodded and said, "Of course." Geoffrey revealed a smile, "It's a deal. I'll cagain tomorrow! Today... Humph, forget it!" With that, he looked at Maddox proudly.
It didn't matter if Maddox won that night, he would still be back the next day to have a free meal. There's plenty of tanyway He'd find a chance to break through his personality one day! After saying goodbye to Minerva, Geoffrey prepared to leave. Maddox was about to close the door on him, when Geoffrey pressed his hand on the door panel. "Sebastian, you're so childish. You actually called my grandfather to complain," he said.
Maddox raised his brows, "Childish? I'm afraid I am no match for your shamelessness," he replied.
Hearing this, Geoffrey gritted his teeth and said, "Am I shameless? It's hard to say who is more brazen It's obvious that you wanted to stay for dinner; but you used your jacket as an excuse to stay." Maddox's brows furrowed when he heard that. He narrowed his eyes and looked at him with a warning glare. Geoffrey knew he had successfully gotten on his nerves but he continued to push it.
"Is your suit expensive? The heir of the Collins family actually said that his suit jacket is very expensive. Why don't I see you being so diligent and En. frugal when you customize your suit?" Anyta chance arose, Geoffrey would seize it and try his best to mock Maddox. Since he couldn't stay for dinner, thus he would be sarcastic to him as a revenge..
"Are you done?" He didn't expect Maddox's mood to return to normal and he would calm down so soon. He looked at Geoffrey who was standing outside the door and said coldly, "Get lost if you're done." With a bang, the door slammed shut.
Geoffrey, who was standing close to the door, had his nose hit hard. He was so furious that he screamed loudly outside the door! X
