My Husband Is A Gary Stu novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221 Do Not Call Him That

Genevieve’s face was inches away from Armand’s. She found his breath bitingly cold, and she shivered involuntarily in response.

Nonetheless, she did not show signs of backing away. She met Armand’s gaze and retorted, “Why, Mr. Faulkner, aren’t you aware of the messy relationship between Cooper’s father and your Aunt Samantha? Cooper was merely a pawn in Samantha’s hands. She tricked him into killing my parents.”

Armand’s gaze darkened as he demanded, “Does this mean you’re letting him off the hook?”

“Yes. He has also expressed his remorse to me.” Genevieve’s lashes quivered. “Plus, Coop and I—”

Her husband interjected curtly, “Don’t call him that.”

At the same time, he tightened his grip on the back of her head, clearly expressing his displeasure.

Genevieve took a deep breath and instantly dropped the term of endearment. “I grew up with Cooper, and he’s my ex-husband. We have a lot of history together.”

Armand’s displeasure ballooned, and he jeered, “You’re a real saint. You can even forgive the person who killed your father.”

In the past, Genevieve would have fired a scathing reply back at Armand.

Now, she merely blinked and shot him a small smile. “Drive us back to Regality Gardens, Mr. Faulkner. Talking about serious matters in the car exhausts me.”

Armand glanced at her before moving back to his seat and putting on his seatbelt.

The car cruised out of the hospital parking lot. Genevieve noticed some mints in the armrest compartment. She grabbed one and ripped open the wrapper. “Are you returning to the office later?”

“I’m not.” He had asked Steven to push all his morning schedules to the afternoon.

She murmured an acknowledgment while fiddling with the mint wrapper. “How are you going to deal with Grandma’s death? Can I return to work at Central Group’s translation department?”

Armand’s grip tightened slightly on the steering wheel, his gaze turning grim.

Though the Faulkners were a huge bunch, Harriet had always doted on Armand. She continued to favor him even as Armand suspected her knowledge of his horrid behavior. She was one of the few people in the Faulkner residence who had made him feel welcome.
