My Flirtacious Husband (Genevieve and Armand) novel Chapter 396

Jack took out the necklace and put it on for Genevieve. “This present represents my apology to you. Do you like it?”

Since she couldn't take it off and throw it away, she forced a smile and said, “Thank you.”

Delighted that she liked the present, Jack ran his fingers across her cheek. “There's another square-shaped yellow diamond. The transaction was a little complicated. You'll have to give me some time.”

Genevieve remained silent.

“Genev”—Jack gently held her chin and sighed—”we might not be able to register our marriage this year.”

Secretly delighted by the news, Genevieve forced herself to endure his roaming hands.

She had been worried that Jack would drag her to the City Hall once he got his residence permit. Therefore, the news about their marriage being delayed felt as if she had struck the lottery.

Trying hard to keep a straight face, Genevieve grunted in acknowledgment. “It's all right. I'm not in a hurry.”

“But I am. I can't wait to marry you and take you away.” Jack stared at her longingly, with raging passion burning in his eyes.

Kissing the back of Genevieve's slender hand, he promised, “Don't you worry. Our wedding will still be held in February. Once I've put my affairs in order, we will get our marriage registered at once.”

Genevieve's happiness was short-lived. She did not see that coming. “Don't worry about it. You should focus on your affairs.”

When they arrived at Regality Gardens, Genevieve opened the left door and alighted with her bag.

Jack hurried over to carry her. “Genev, let me carry you up.”

“It's fine. I can walk.” Cognizant of Jack's intentions, Genevieve refused to let him do so. “I'm feeling down and hope to have some privacy.”

She managed to make Jack feel guilty with her tone as she spoke. He stepped back and watched her struggle out of the car by herself.

He went into the building first and asked for a wheelchair from the front desk. He even stuffed a couple of bills into the receptionist's hand.

“Good night, Genev.” He gave her a peck on her forehead.
