Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"What are you talking about?" Abigail glared at Minerva. "The old man gave it to you, just accept it." "But I..." "But what? Even if this belonged to my sister, she's still your mother-in-law. If she was here and saw that Maddox is married and even has a kid, she would also give you this necklace." As she said that, Abigail looked as though she had recalled something and smiled faintly, "My father is probably doing this on behalf of Aurora which means... he has acknowledged you as his granddaughter-in-law." Otherwise, he would not have given Minerva such a precious gift.

The diamond was bought at a high price in an auction. Jarold hired a designer to fashion it into a necklace and even gave it a name.

The Cosmic Heart.

The necklace was a symbolism of Jarold's heart for his wife.

She was the only one for Jarold in the entire universe.

When Abigail first heard it she roasted him for giving the necklace a sci-fi nthat didn't match its aesthetic.

But later... After her mother passed away, Jarold never remarried. Although many women tried to get close to him, he had never spared them a glance before.

He only had his wife in his heart.

Abigail snorted in her heart as she thought about how her mother had good taste in man. However, Jarold didn't know how to be a good father.

Minerva was surprised to hear Abigail's words. It took her a long tto snap out of the shock.

Did Jarold give her the necklace as an acknowledgment? Not only did he not becupset when he heard Maddox and her were leaving the country, he even gave her a necklace before they left? As expected, it was because of his pride.

Minerva smiled softly and kept the box.

It seemed that Beanie had indeed helped her out when he stayed here a few days. He probably praised and talked good things about her to Jarold.

"Well, now that you know what it is, keep it safe. It's getting late. I'll go back to the hotel first." Abigail said.

Then Abigail turned and walked out while waving to the others. "You don't have to seeoff. I can go back by myself." But Baldrick stopped her before she could walk far.

"Miss Abigail, the master hopes... you can bring your luggage back to the Collins family." Abigail had never married after so many years. She was always by herself so it was completely normal for her to move back home.

Abigail however, stopped, flung her bag to one side, and said coldly, "Why should I move back to Collins family? Baldrick, I respect you and let you talk tocasually, but if he really wantsto cback home, he should be the one to talk to me, instead of asking you to do it for him." Baldrick did not expect that Abigail would suddenly lose her temper. He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Miss Abigail, I am also..." "Baldrick, I know you're doing this for his sake, but I'm also human. Sthings aren't so easy to let go of. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." After that, Abigail took her bag and walked away.

Baldrick sighed helplessly and shook his head, then walked up to Maddox.

"Mr. Sebastian, will all of you be staying the night?" "No," Maddox shook his head lightly. "Well go back now." Then, he put his arm around Minerva's waist. "Well go and get Beanie and then go home." Beanie? Baldrick was stunned for a moment and then said, "Young Master Beanie askedto pass the message that he will be staying with Master Collins tonight and that he'll only head back tomorrow." Minerva blinked her eyes and thought that her son must really like being here, seeing how he wanted to stay here more and more frequently. Jarold also seemed to be treating Beanie rather nicely as well which was probably why Beanie was willing to stay here.

She didn't say much and just nodded.

When everyone was leaving, Beanie looked out from the window on the third floor and watched as his parents' car left. Looking at Beanie, Jarold couldn't help but sigh. "Beanie, chere." Hearing Jarold's voice, Beanie quickly turned around and ran over to his great-grandfather's side.

"Great-grandpa!" "Beanie, you really want to go back, but you chose to stay here for me, don't you?" The longing in Beanie's eyes as he stared at his parents' car was gone in an instant. He looked at Jarold with an innocent expression and said, "Great-grandpa, what are you saying? I want to stay here because I want to and because you treatwell and Mommy also toldthat you're lonely so that's why I want to stay with you." Hearing this, the corners of Jarold's eyes turned moist.

"You have a good mummy, but... I don't want to force you. If you want to go back, or don't want to stay withanymore, I won't stop you." This was his great grandson, not his puppet.

In the past, he wanted to control Maddox and felt that he could help Maddox make better choices. But now, looking at such a young child like Beanie who already knew how to take care of Jarold's feelings and knew how much his Mommy sacrificed for him, Jarold had cto realize one thing.

Love was a selfless sacrifice, not a selfish desire to control.

At that time, his control over Abigail

cfrom his fatherly love. He had lost his wife and nobody was there to guide her, so he thought he should give her the best of everything. He also thought the reason she hated and defied him was that she hadn't understood his well-intentions as a father. However, he neglected his daughter's feelings.

So what if they were the best? Everyone was different. What was best was what a person truly desired.

Just like a wanderer in a desert. If someone were to give him gold and treasure, would he want it? No, what he needed was water.

However, back then, Jarold didn't understand what his daughters wanted. Instead, he forcefully made them addept what he thought was best for them. In the end, things took a turn for the worse, and they left him. After so many years, they were still not willing to cback. Looking at Beanie, Jarold truly regretted what he had done. "Great-grandpa, you didn't force me. I willingly stayed." He was lying.

This little guy was being very considerate.

"Little fool, do you think your great-grandpa is too old to see things clearly? Is there any child in the world who is willing to leave his parents?" Moreover, Beanie was brought up by his mother alone, so he probably couldn't live without her.

"How about this, you just follow your parents back, I'll stay here alone." X
