My Flirtacious Husband (Genevieve and Armand) novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697 Kneeling In The Rain

The security guard was stunned for a moment. However, he quickly guessed that Sylvie was probably doing that to gain Herbert's sympathy. His disdain toward her intensified, and he ignored her.

Even as the rain grew heavier, Sylvie did not move. She continued kneeling there with her back tall and straight.

Soon after that, a black car drove up. Seeing the familiar license plate, the security guard opened the gates immediately while keeping a wary eye on Sylvie, ready to prevent her from rushing inside.

Before the car drove in, Zayne looked out the car window as he sat in the rear passenger seat and saw Sylvie kneeling in front of the gates.

She was drenched to the skin, and her wet hair stuck to her face and shoulders.

He sat forward subconsciously, thinking of telling the driver to stop the car. But when he remembered how she had deceived Herbert, he bit back the words on the tip of his tongue.

Meanwhile, the housekeeper was in the midst of preparing dinner.

Although Herbert's condition had taken a turn for the better after a night's rest, he was still in rather low spirits.

Since his three sons were busy working, his grandchildren accompanied him.

Racked with guilt as he was the one who had brought Genevieve and the others, Yuvan had not stepped away from Herbert's side since the day before.

When Zayne went upstairs, he saw Yuvan playing chess with Herbert.

“Grandpa.”

“Oh, you're here!” As soon as Herbert saw Zayne walking in, he forgot all about playing chess and quickly beckoned to the latter. “I'm fine. All of you don't have to stay home and accompany me.”

Zayne shrugged his shoulders and smiled. “I don't have much to do at school anyway, so I thought I'd come and have dinner and play chess with you.”

“I think you're just here to have fun,” Yuvan responded jokingly.

“Yeah, you're right,” Zayne admitted readily. He gestured with his hands as he continued, “I just finished memorizing two books that were this thick not too long ago. They were even thicker than a brick!”

Then, he added with a downcast expression, “If I'd known studying law would be so tiring, I'd have gone to join the military.”

Herbert was amused by his grandson's grumbling. “Were they Mr. Sasnett's notes?”

I have many grandsons, but apart from two who joined the military, the others have ventured into various fields. Now, Zayne has the chance to enter the judiciary, and he has Kevin's assistance. Once Zayne gains a firm foothold in those circles, the Zeigler family will be able to prosper for many more years to come.
