Initially, Jarold hadn't intended to mention it. However, he did not expect that Baldrick would speak out his thoughts with just a few words. He felt extremely awkward at that moment and then chided him harshly.
"Baldrick!" He yelled.
However, Baldrick was not afraid of him at all. He put on a smile and continued saying, "Old Master is very thin- skinned, so I will speak on his behalf." "Baldrick! What nonsense are you spouting?" Jarold asked. He was so furious that his wrinkled face had turned red. He was both angry and anxious as he explained, "Obviously, it was you who askedto cover. What are you talking about now?" "Yes, yes, yes," Baldrick replied as he nodded. "I'm the one who asked Old Master to cover. That's right." Jarold had been in a daze ever since he woke up early in the morning, and kept asking if what happened the previous night was true. Why did he feel like it was so unreal? Baldrick could empathize with how it felt to have a great-grandson all of a sudden. Moreover, Jarold had been staying alone for far too long. He suddenly had a family and a great-grandson. The feeling of shock and jubilance was not something that an ordinary person could understand.
Baldrick had told him many times that it was real. However, Jarold still looked as if he didn't believe what he said. After that, Baldrick suggested that he cover personally to confirm it. At that moment, Jarold felt that it was a good idea, and he had agreed as well.
However, he didn't expect that Baldrick would betray him as soon as he arrived. "How can I admit that I wanted to cover? Will Minerva laugh atif I do so?" He pondered to himself.
After all, he had done a lot of things before. If he accepted his great-grandson at that moment, it seemed like he was eating his words.
Minerva didn't mind his attitude. For her, his attitude at the moment was good enough. At least, he didn't ask Baldrick to write a check and put it in an envelope to persuade her to leave like he did the first tthey met. Jarold told her that he didn't want to accept her. However, she could feel his desire to see Beanie from his eyes. Thinking of that, her mood had improved a little. She smiled faintly and explained, "Then both of you cat the wrong time. Beanie and Maddox have gone out, they are not at home." Hearing that, Jarold's face darkened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was here to see Beanie. However, he didn't expect that the child wasn't here at that moment. Jarold suddenly felt extremely disappointed.
Baldrick asked, "What did they go out for?" Minerva only realized that they were not at hafter she woke up. Therefore, she had no idea why they went out. Hence, after Baldrick asked her this question, she shifted her gaze to Vera who was staying by her side.
Following her gaze, the gazes of those three people in the room fell on Vera's face.
Vera suddenly had a feeling of being pinned with high hopes. She was also a little nervous. After that, she took a deep breath and then said, "Well... Young Master Yardley was going out, and I dared not ask him what he was going to do. Besides, with my identity, it's not appropriate forto ask him." After that, the corner of her mouth also twitched.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Jarold's and Baldrick's eyes. In the next second, Jarold snorted coldly and said, "Since my great-grandson isn't here, then let's go back!" After saying that, he turned around and walked out. Baldrick could only smile apologetically at Minerva and said, "I'm sorry, Madam Minerva. I'll accompany Old Master to leave first." She nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, be careful on the road." Jarold, who was walking before Baldrick, paused when he heard that. Then, he turned around to look at her. A trace of anger flashed through his eyes.
She could feel his stare. She looked back at him in confusion and asked using her eyes.
"Did I say something wrong just now?" She pondered to herself.
Unfortunately, he did not give her an answer. Instead, he turned around angrily and left.
Soon, the door slammed shut.
She turned her head to look at Vera, who was beside her. She bit her lower lip and asked, "Why do I feel... that he got angry when he slammed the door?" "You're not the only one. The way he looked at you just now was already very terrifying," Vera replied. Speaking of this, she couldn't help but stretch her neck and asked with a frightened look, "Is Young Master Yardley's grandpa going to vent his anger on you just because Beanie is not at home?" "I don't think so..." However, this old man was really arrogant. Minerva didn't dare to speak casually. She didn't dare to ask him to stay longer when he wanted to leave. She was afraid that she would accidentally provoke him when she spoke. At that time, she would lose out on what she intended to do initially.
Outside the door, Jarold entered the elevator. He was really furious at that moment. Hence, Baldrick didn't say anything.
After a long while, he finally couldn't hold it any longer and called Baldrick.
He looked up as if he had just cto his senses. "What's wrong, Old Master Collins?" These words made Jarold furious. "Didn't you notice that? That girl called'grandpa'. She didn't even know how to say sgood words!" "This..." Baldrick replied. He looked as if he had realized something and he replied, "Old Master always seems to be in a bad mood in front of Madam Minerva. If I was her, I wouldn't dare to speak casually as well." Jarold remained silent at that moment.
"What do you think, Old Master?" Baldrick then asked.
Jarold narrowed his eyes and asked in an unpleasant way, "Are you asking to be nicer to that girl?" Baldrick touched his nose and said with a smile, "I think it's a good suggestion."
Hearing that, Jarold raised an eyebrow, indicating that he was becoming upset. Baldrick hastened his talking to king speed and said, "Not to mention that Madam Minerva has already given birth to Young Master Beanie, she's been pregnant for several months now. You won't forbid them from being together, right?" There was silence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJarold was speechless hearing that.
Baldrick grabbed the opportunity to keep persuading him. He said, "Since you can't oppose it, then you and Madam Minerva will be a family in the future. If the family relationship is Ε not good, it will definitely affect other people's mood. If the family is always harmonious, Young Master Yardley, Madam Minerva and her two children will be filial to you in the future. You'll have your grandchildren and great- grandchildren who can keep you company during the festive seasons.
It was true that Baldrick's words made a lot of sense, and these words had hit the bottom of Jarold's heart.
His gaze beccomplicated as he looked at Baldrick. However, his facial expression was still the sas before. Baldrick could not tell whether he agreed with his words or not.
Hesized Jarold up carefully before gritting his teeth and persuading him.
"And I heard from Miss Abigail that Madam Minerva had signs of miscarriage this time. Last time, when Madam Minerva was kidnapped by our people, Miss Dormer had taken her away, and Madam Minerva almost fell down the stairs..." Baldrick said.
Talking about that, a frightened expression appeared on Jarold's face.
Baldrick thought to himself, "It's working." Then, he continued om speaking, "I heard that pregnant women have to always keep calm so that the baby can develop well.
Madam Minerva is already having signs of a miscarriage. If the old master doesn't treat her well and she becomes too emotional, isn't it... not good for the baby in her belly?" After listening to Baldrick's advice, Jarold couldn't help but curl his lips. "Alright, stop talking about it. I got it," he said.
However, asking him to be nicer to her? Wasn't he going to eat his words?
