"Fine, it's because you seem like a boring guy so I want to help you out!" Geoffrey confessed. "I'm really good at wooing girls and since we're bros now, I can teach you a few tricks!" He shamelessly leaned over again and hooked his arm around Sam's shoulder, acting as if they had been friends for life.
Sam was not used to a man hooking his arm around him like this, but Geoffrey was really enthusiastic. He could only push him away and stand up. "No need," he replied back.
"What do you mean 'no need'? Unless you've already managed to woo her? Con, I'm serious. I may look playful on the outside but you can definitely trust me. I guarantee that my skills will work." Sam walked towards the balcony and Geoffrey quickly followed behind him.
By the tthey were about to have lunch, Sam had been pestered by Geoffrey with so many words that he looked miserable.
An extra person was added to the meal when Maddox cback from work.
He walked into the house and saw Geoffrey. He took off his jacket and looked at him with a calm face. "Why are you here?" Geoffrey was immediately riled up by his words. He jumped up and asked, "Am I not allowed to visit?" Maddox didn't reply. He pursed his lips and hung his jacket on the shelf next to him. Geoffrey walked over and started to complain, "I can't even begin with you! If Minny hadn't informed me, were you not planning to even tellthat you're leaving? And by the tI found out about it, you will already be back in Hidalgo? Sebastian, I thought we were brothers!" "Are you aware of how naggy you are right now?" Maddox replied.
Geoffrey replied with an upset face, "Are you saying I sound like a mom?" Maddox nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good that you're aware of it." Geoffrey looked furious.
At that stime, Minerva had woken up from her nap. Geoffrey saw her and complained to her saying, "Minny, you're here just in time. You have to helpwith this. This brat Sebastian just said that I'm naggy like a mom. How could someone say this to their brother?" She looked at him with a strange expression on her face and pressed her lips together.

"Minny, how could you say that too! You have to remember that I put in a whole lot of effort to help you two get together and now that you are actually together, you're not supposed to treatlike this." She blinked her eyes and thought about it carefully. Geoffrey had indeed helped them a lot and if it wasn't for him, she would not have been able to reunite with Maddox so easily. Let alone the development of their relationship after that. Thinking of this, Minerva looked at Maddox and said, "Let's give him a break. He had been dragged into blind dates by his family for the past week. He had a rough time." He nodded, "Alright, we'll listen to Mrs. Yardley." Geoffrey felt as if he was being a very bright light bulb at that moment.
Just then, the kitchen door opened and Vera walked out with a pot of soup in her hands. "It's tfor lunch," she said.
Sam walked over quickly and said, "Lethelp." He grabbed the pot of soup from her and served it on the table. Vera then turned around and went back to fetch the other dishes. Everyone helped set the table and soon, the dishes prepared by Vera were all laid on the table. The house was filled with a delicious aroma and Geoffrey felt that he had gone to heaven. After taking a few bites, he could not but feel amazed.
"Wow! Minny, this cooking is better than yours!" Minerva glared at him and explained, "Vera has great cooking skills, and I only cook during my spare time. I'm not even close to her standard." "I see." Geoffrey looked at Vera and said, "Whoever gets to marry her one day will definitely be a lucky man!" He glanced at Sam as he finished his sentence.
Sam was startled.
He lowered his head to eat without saying a word, but the tips of his ears were red, exposing his thoughts. Looking at him like that, Geoffrey sighed silently in his heart. How could someone blush like that over a joke? How would he ever succeed in pursuing a woman? However, Vera understood the hidden meaning behind Geoffrey's words. She suddenly stood up and said in an awkward tone, "I'll go check if the stove is switched off." Then, she turned around and went straight into the kitchen.
Everyone kept quiet.
Geoffrey swallowed a mouthful of food and glanced at Minerva who was sitting opposite of him. "Minny, did I offend her with what I just said?" He asked.
She glanced at him and shrugged her shoulders, showing that she was not sure. She wanted to get a bite from the plate of ribs on the table, but it was too far away from her. If she wanted to grab it, she might have to stand up to get it.
However, she felt too lazy. After a few moments in a dilemma, she finally gave up and scooped the dish that was in front of her.
She did not expect Maddox to pick up a piece of pork rib and put it on her plate. She looked up at him in surprise. She did not expect him to notice her internal struggle.
As the two showed off their public display of affection for each other, Geoffrey, who was beside them, felt extremely miserable. He didn't expect to have to suffer through that during a meal, but it appeared that there was someone else feeling even worse than him, which was Sam, who was sitting next to him.
Geoffrey was just trying to set them up earlier, and he didn't expect what he said to upset Vera.
Sam should be feeling dejected at that moment.
Geoffrey quietly moved closer to his side and whispered, "Bro, I really didn't do that on purpose. I would never hurt you as a brother." Hearing that, Sam did not even raise his eyes.
"I know," he replied indifferently.
"That's good," Geoffrey was relieved and patted his own chest. "Don't worry. As long as I am here, I will definitely help you." Sam kept quiet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter a moment of silence, he glanced sideways at the person beside him.
"There's no need for that. I'm afraid that the more you try to help, the worse the situation will become." Just like the situation earlier.
The smile on Geoffrey's lips
vanished instantly. He couldn't believe his ears that Sam actually told him that the more he wanted to help, the worse things would be! He felt as if his heart had been stabbed with a sharp blade. When Vera returned back to the table, Geoffrey was careful with his words because he knew that Sam would hate him if he upset her again.
After they finished the meal, Geoffrey didn't stay to enjoy the fruits for dessert. His grandfather had been calling him non-stop and instructed him to go home.
After Geoffrey left, Sam let out a sigh of relief.
That afternoon, Baldrick sent Beanie home.
Over the past few days, Beanie had been spending twith his om great-grandfather Jarold. When Minerva saw Beanie, she gave him a tight hug because she missed him a lot.
Looking at them, Baldrick said slowly, "Master Collins said that for the next few days until you and Mr. Sebastian return to Hidalgo, he wants Beanie to be with you two." Minerva was astonished for a moment. She raised her head and looked into Baldrick's eyes, "This was Grandpa's idea?" Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men!
