My Flirtacious Husband (Genevieve and Armand) novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 A Familiar Face
The woman beside her seemed to be her housekeeper as she was helping her carry her bag.
The elevator had already arrived. Genevieve initially planned to go downstairs earlier to buy some food but deliberately slowed down her pace upon seeing the pregnant lady.
After entering the elevator, she held the open door button for the woman and her housekeeper.
Soon, the woman entered the elevator with her housekeeper, then lifted her head to smile at Genevieve. “Thank you.”
When she got a closer look at the latter, her eyes opened wide as though she was in shock.
Genevieve was stunned for a moment but quickly recognized the woman and said, “Ms. Wood?” Her voice carried a touch of hesitation and surprise.
“Genevieve Rachford, I remember you.” Marilyn Wood’s eyes flickered slightly as her gaze swept across Genevieve’s flawless face.
Despite knowing that she was as pretty as the latter, the difference in their age still caused envy to well up in her heart.
She’s young and pretty… How can men not fall for her?
“Ms. Wood, you’re so famous in the music sphere and have so many students under your tutelage,” Genevieve said, her lips curving into a smile. “I never expected you to remember me as I only attended three of your classes.”
Marilyn stood beside her after entering the elevator. “Out of all of my students in the same batch, only you have the best pitch. That’s why you left a deep impression on me,” she responded.
Hearing the compliment from her former teacher, Genevieve beamed with delight. “Really?”
The elevator slowly moved downward.
Suddenly, Genevieve glanced at Marilyn’s baby bump and voiced, “Ms. Wood, I didn’t know you were married. Are you residing in Jadeborough now?”
The latter was wearing a V-neck dress that exposed her skin slightly. As Genevieve retracted her gaze, she saw a pendant near her collarbone.
It was from Tiffany’s “Perfect Lover” collection.
She remembered that the necklace was not only a limited edition but also a collector’s edition. Even for the top VIPs at Tiffany’s, it was hard to come by.
Yet, she managed to bump into two people who both owned the same necklace in succession.
Genevieve’s words seemed to have hit a nerve in Marilyn. Emotions raged within the latter’s eyes as she raised her hands to touch her baby bump.
Using all her might, she suppressed her emotions and replied with a smile, “Yes, I’ve been staying in Jadeborough for quite a while. I knew what happened to your family too.”
Hearing that, Genevieve lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.
Marilyn turned and looked at her with a gentle expression. “Genevieve, it must be tough for you to live in Jadeborough without your family. Out of all of my students, you’re the most talented one. I can help you enroll in Hillview Music Academy. People there can make you a rising star in the music sphere.”
When Genevieve offered no response, she continued, “You don’t have to worry. I can pay for all of your expenses.”
“Ms. Wood, thank you for your kindness. However, I would like to stay here.” Genevieve was not interested in pursuing music. What she wanted to do at the moment was avenge her parents.
Although her marriage to Armand happened because of their collaboration, they were legally married. Therefore, he was considered her family.
While Marilyn’s smile faltered slightly, her tone remained gentle. “Are you staying here to settle some affairs? I can help you.”
Her repeated gestures of goodwill weirded out Genevieve.
Ms. Wood has many students. I’ve only attended a few of her classes, and I’m not particularly exceptional. It’s very weird that she still remembers me after years and even wants to help me…
Coincidentally, the elevator arrived at the first floor.
Patrick was waiting outside the elevator with a food jar in his hand. As soon as the elevator doors opened, he spotted Genevieve first and asked, “Genev, what are you doing here?”
“To buy some candies,” she replied as she walked out of the elevator. “How about you? Why are you here so early?”
“Steven’s worried that you might be bored by yourself, so he asked me to send the food over to you as soon as Maria made dinner.” Raising his eyebrows, he added, “I can leave if you don’t want my company.”
Genevieve smiled slightly. “I don’t mind if you do. But do you dare to leave?”
Patrick was rendered speechless.
She then turned to look at Marilyn, who was walking out of the elevator, and offered courteously, “Ms. Wood, I’ll be making a move first. How about I treat you to a meal some other time?”
“Yes, sure.” Marilyn nodded with a gentle smile.
Only then did Patrick realize that Genevieve knew the two women who stepped out of the elevator after her. This woman in a dress is called Ms. Wood? She has a bump on her belly and is very beautiful.
While following Genevieve to the vending machine, he gave two backward glances.
“I think I’ve met Ms. Wood somewhere before…” he muttered. “Is she your high school teacher?”
“No.” Genevieve shook her head. “I used to study in Dartan. Coincidentally, she was doing a tour there, so I attended a few of her violin classes. Ms. Wood is a famous and talented figure in the music sphere, so she’s often featured in magazines. It’s no surprise if you’ve seen her somewhere before.”
Patrick felt that he had seen Marilyn somewhere before in real life, not in magazines.
Alas, he could not put his finger on it, despite his efforts in racking his brain.
Nevertheless, he did not bother about it for long, asking cheekily, “Wow, I thought you knew nothing! I never thought that you could play the violin. Why don’t you give me a performance?”
