My Flirtacious Husband (Genevieve and Armand) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 Would Not Have Picked It Up Otherwise
Armand narrowed his eyes and returned to the bedroom to take something. He then walked into the pantry. Standing behind Genevieve, he dangled the necklace right under her nose.
Genevieve took a glance at the open locket. Slightly annoyed, she frowned. “Just treasure it yourself. Why’re you showing it to me?”
Armand reached out and took the photo out of the locket. He then flipped the photo.
On another side of the photo, Genevieve could see a young man with a gentle smile and features somewhat similar to Armand’s.
“He’s my brother, Samuel.” Armand pointed at the man who was in the photo. “This necklace also belongs to him.”
Genevieve’s mind went blank for a moment. She looked at the photo and then turned to Armand.
“Samuel and Marilyn bought this couple’s necklace after they got married.” Armand lifted his hand and rubbed Genevieve’s soft chin. “Samuel passed this necklace to me before he passed away. He wanted to put the photo of him with Marilyn in it and keep it with me at the same time. After the photo studio had sectioned the photo according to the measurement inside the locket, I asked the person in charge to put it in.”
“In that case, this necklace should be handed over to Marilyn. Why is it with you?” Confused, Genevieve narrowed her eyes. “And you’re wearing it every day…”
She could still remember how Armand’s face darkened long ago when she had merely touched the necklace.
Could it be… A bold idea crossed Genevieve’s mind. The way she looked at Armand slowly changed.
Armand comprehended the expression in Genevieve’s eyes. He fleered and slightly increased the force in his hand, which was pinching her chin. “Don’t overthink things. If I were not wearing this necklace, you wouldn’t have picked it up at the hotel that day.”
If she did not pick up the necklace, their paths would never have cross.
Therefore, the necklace was like a lucky charm.
Genevieve felt rather perplexed. Baffled, she asked, “It’s not my necklace, so what does it have to do with me?”
Armand did not answer her question directly. Instead, he deepened his voice and said, “When I saw the messages that you posted in the gossip group, I knew that you didn’t take my explanation on that night to heart. Now I’ve explained about the necklace. If you don’t feel like seeing it, I’ll ditch it into the drawer later. I had entrusted Steven to find out what you like, and he told me that you like Lostaria Musical Group, so I made him buy the tickets for me so that I could bring you to the musical.”
Armand noticed that Genevieve had been zoning out during the musical and appeared in a bad mood after they returned. Instead of getting irritated, he patiently explained everything to her.
He would be fine with her having any fit of the sulks and could tolerate her indefinitely.
Genevieve previously rejoiced that Armand did not know about the gossip, so she felt rather guilty to hear him. “You’ve seen it all?”
“Yes. I’ve finished looking through your colleagues’ recordings and the trending topics about it.” Armand moved his hand to her earlobe and fondled it affectionately.
Armand’s calluses were dry and warm. Genevieve felt inexplicably comfortable with an itchy sensation from him caressing her earlobe.
Therefore, without shaking his hand away, she mumbled, “I was bored during the group meeting at that time, so I simply browsed through Twitter and goofed around in the gossip group. I didn’t expect to have pressed the screen mirroring button…”
“Did you have to send the photo once they asked you to do so?” Armand raised his eyebrows. “Should I be grateful that my face isn’t in the photo that you took?”
Genevieve thought about it for a moment. Luckily I didn’t. Otherwise, you’d have become the main character on the cover of countless illicit websites.
“It’s because I think your body figure’s not bad, so I send the photo to make them jealous.” Genevieve poked at Armand through his shirt. “I’ve never seen you go to a gym, so how is your figure so excellent?”
Armand caught a glimpse of an exposed region of Genevieve’s skin at her neckline when he lowered his head. With his eyes darkened, he held the back of her neck and pulled her into his arms.
“Only my body figure’s good?” Armand asked in a deep voice, “Nothing else?”
His husky voice stimulated Genevieve to the point that her ears were tingling. She suddenly recalled a message that one of the girls had sent to the gossip group on Twitter after the girl saw the photo.
“Well?” Armand bent over to a very close distance from Genevieve.
While Genevieve warned herself to not invite trouble and wanted to push Armand away, she seemed to hear herself gulping. Being honest with herself, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
