Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

All these years, Jarold had been eating all by himself.

Even though Baldrick was there, they were both old men. It's still a sad sight to see two old men keeping each other company.

Jarold wasn't always that lonely, he used to live with his wife and daughters. If it wasn't because he was so strong-willed, he would never have been able to go through so many years by himself. Now his younger daughter had returned as well.

Although his older daughter was no longer around, her child had cwith a family of three. No, a family of four now.

Moreover, Minerva brought Quill with her.

Including him and Baldrick, eight people were eating in total.

How lively it was.

Jarold's eyes were filled with joy. In addition, Beanie was sitting right next to him, making Jarold even more delighted. Recently, Beanie was able to help Minerva leave quite a good impression. Jarold never liked Minerva. And because of his pride, his impression of her dropped even further.

However, after Beanie's recent 'brainwashing', Jarold's current level of impression toward this granddaughter-in- law could be said to have reached more than seventy percent.

However, as he was a proud man, he couldn't show how satisfied he was with this granddaughter-in-law.

However, he was able to greet Quill and exchanged a good conversation.

They were all men of high status in a company after all, so they had something to talk about.

It didn't take long for Jarold to have a good impression of him. He felt that Quill was a reliable person.

During the meal, Beanie mentioned a lot of good things about Minerva.

On the other hand, Abigail was eating absentmindedly. Looking at the people at the big table, her thoughts drifted into a distant memory.

She was still very young then, and her sister was the one who doted on her the most.

Their mother met with shealth problems after giving birth to her and was bedridden for years.

No matter how much expensive medicine she used, she eventually still passed on.

After the passing of their mother, Aurora was the one who treated Abigail the best.

Her older sister took care of her like a mother. Because Jarold had been distraught about their mother's passing, he wasn't doing very well himself. In addition, he had been mentally and physically exhausted during that time. Thus, he was unable to settle a lot of things in the company.

Therefore, after settling their mother's funeral, Jarold had to continue to deal with many unsolved issues in the company. As a result, he had neglected his two daughters.

At first, the sisters could understand what their father was going through. But gradually, their relationship with him faded as tpassed.

For children, the most important thing was their parents' companionship.

Whenever they went back home, the first thing they would always hear was that their father was busy with work, and they needn't wait for him.

At first, they still managed to see each other a few times. Later, he barely had tfor them.

Jarold's work was getting busier. He was so busy that he didn't have tto spend with his daughters, but he also didn't look for another partner either.

Thinking of this, Abigail sneered in her heart.

The only good thing about her old father was his loyalty. When her mother passed away, he had already achieved a very high status. Many women around him wanted to throw themselves at him, but Jarold didn't even give them a single look.

He remained a widow for the rest of his life for the sake of his wife. He did not remarry, nor did he flirt with any other women.

It was a pity that he was too authoritative.

Back then, he had forced Aurora to get engaged to the son of his business partner and led them to flee away from home.

Abigail thought if only he hadn't forced the two of them, her sister wouldn't die...

"Auntie Stark..." A childish voice pulled her out of her thoughts. Abigail raised her head and looked into a pair of innocent and curious eyes. "Auntie Stark, why are you crying?" Crying? Everyone could not help but look in Abigail's direction.

Abigail was also startled. She touched her cheek and her hand got wet.

She... cried unknowingly??? This was beyond Abigail's comprehension. She had only got lost in her thoughts, and sunk deeper into it, and then her memories started coming back out of control. She didn't realize... She actually cried? This was... a gaffe. After all, there were so many people here, and they were mostly her juniors.

With those thoughts, she immediately got up and forced a smile. "I think it's because I ate something too spicy. I'll deal with it." After that, she turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

The atmosphere becslightly awkward because of Abigail's tears. Although she still had a smile on her face, everyone seemed to have lost their interest after she left.

Minerva was even a little worried. She thought for a while and finally put down her fork and spoon. She stood up and said, "I'll go and take a look." Nobody stopped her. Maddox said in a low voice, "If anything, call me." "Alright."

Minerva got up and followed Abigail.

The house was massive, in the end, Minerva only managed to find find the washroom with the help of a servant. What she didn't know was that after she left, Maddox opened his mouth to speak to Jarold, who was sitting across from him. "Grandfather, I have something to tell you." After Minerva arrived at the washroom, she thanked the servant. The servant responded respectfully before she left.

She thought that she would have to shel

spend stlooking for Abigail when she went in. However, she om didn't expect to see her leaning against the against the sink as soon as she entered. There were still undried tear steaks on her face. She did not seem to be in a hurry to go out, so she did not tidy up after coming in.

When Abigail heard footsteps, she glanced at the source of the sound. When she saw Minerva, she smiled slightly and said, "You're here." Minerva stopped in her tracks and looked at Abigail in confusion.

After all, she was Maddox's aunt and she wasn't close with her. Her heart ached when she saw her smiling at her while she wiped away her tears. "Actually you didn't have to come. I'm fine by myself." Just when Minerva didn't know what to do, Abigail spoke.

Minerva twitched her lips. Then, she walked to her side and handed her a pack of tissues.

"Take it, Auntie Stark." Abigail looked at the pack of tissue for a long tbefore taking it. She wiped away the tears on her face, sniffled, and said, "Actually I'm just a little emotional after thinking about the past. I'm not sad." The tears cout unconsciously. If Beanie hadn't said anything, she wouldn't have realized it.

"What happened in the past..."

"Yes, that nasty old man... It's all because of that old man. If he hadn't forced Aurora andback then, we e wouldn Nhave run away from home. If we hadn't run away from home, maybe... Aurora would still be alive. She would be... your mother-in-law." Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming* these rich women will persue you.
