“Yes.”
“You're lying.” He lowered his gaze to look at her. “Genevieve, when you lie, you avert your gaze and bite your lip in reflex.”
He proceeded to confess, “I, too, was lying that night. Over the last four years, I have been waiting for you to return, and nary a moment passed by without me longing for you.”
He just hadn't had the courage to express it to her.
After he swallowed, Armand continued in a raspy voice, “I was worried that you would have to go soon, and I just couldn't bear to watch you leave with another man.”
Due to his love for her, Armand respected Genevieve and refrained from trying to win her back aggressively.
“Genevieve, you love me too, don't you?” Closing the distance between them, he asked, “Or else, why would you have put in so much effort to prepare such a special birthday gift for me? On that fateful day, you told me that you would stay by my side for the rest of my life so that I would never be lonely again. On top of that, I recently found out that you were the girl I met in the hospital back then.”
Raising his hand, Armand stroked Genevieve's flawless, fair cheeks. “Genevieve, let's not delude each other anymore.”
Armand's confession shook Genevieve to the core.
However, the minute change in her expression quickly disappeared as she swiftly regained her calm.
Peeling Armand's hand away, she took two steps back and raised her gaze to stare at him. “Armand, I might have loved you before, but not anymore.”
She, too, was puzzled by the sudden change of heart.
“Given how much you interact with others, you should be good at reading people.” Genevieve asserted, “I'm sure you're able to tell whether I'm lying or not.”
Armand had noticed the calm look in her eyes. In fact, they were so calm that he was terrified.
The last time she told him that she was seeking revenge, he could still sense her feelings for him behind the repressed rage in her eyes. But now, her eyes were devoid of emotions.
All of a sudden, he was filled with remorse.
This is strange. After being with Jack for four years, I'm still not used to intimacy with him. In fact, I was still resisting his kisses just a moment ago. And yet, I let Armand hug me...
