After a few minutes, another text came from Genevieve: Come on. It's not something difficult. I don't think calling the front desk is the best. Don't tell me you're afraid of me. You can't do this to me after I sprained my ankle to save you today.
Over in Genevieve's room, she was reclined in bed with her injured leg sticking out. She had just sprayed her ankle and was looking at her phone.
Seeing that Armand did not reply after some time, she pouted and sent the pictures she took on the old street that morning to Lucian with a message that read: Look, is your daddy handsome?
A reply came instantly. The boy was usually camera-shy and lofty, but when he saw that photo Genevieve sent, he immediately gave her a call.
“So he's the person who broke the record?” Lucian's voice came from the phone.
“What record?” Genevieve was confused.
“The game record,” he replied begrudgingly. “I tried that game a lot of times, but the fastest I could finish it was in thirteen seconds. How did he even do it in ten?”
“Oh, so you're playing this game too?” Genevieve asked, surprised. “Well, he's your daddy. What do you expect?”
“But I invented the game. Even I can't finish it in ten seconds!” Lucian sounded even more upset.
“You created that game? How did you even know how to program a game?” Genevieve was in for another surprise.
“It was easy as a pie. Everybody knows how to do it,” the boy replied confidently.
“Yeah, tell me about it. It's so easy even the game creator can't finish his own game fast enough. You need to work harder to break your daddy's record, Son,” Genevieve said snarkily.
A short pause followed. “I want to call him.”
“No.” Genevieve did not want them to talk to each other too much. After all, given Armand's keenness, he might notice something. “Have you forgotten what I told you when I left?”
“Then when can we go back?” Lucian asked.
Genevieve thought about the uncertain situation and sighed. “Not anytime soon. I'll call you when I can pick you guys up.”
While she was speaking, Genevieve heard Amanda's voice in the background.
It seemed that the girl had realized that her brother was talking to Genevieve. She wanted to be part of the conversation as well, but the call ended abruptly.
Genevieve looked at her phone and shook her head. She wondered if the children in other families were the same because, in hers, Lucian loved to bully Amanda.
