Chapter 227 Bitterness
“That uncle of mine acts as though he’s worried that I won’t find out what he’s up to.” Armand smirked and lit another cigarette.
The white smoke made it difficult to read the expression in his eyes.
The silence in the living room lasted for a while. Coldy, he piped up, “Do whatever my uncle wants and spread the news. Let everyone in Xedells know what happened.”
Steven looked at him in surprise. He was about to say something when he heard Armand say, “The doctor said that Genevieve was pregnant with twins. Their bodies were already formed.”
Armand looked down as he spoke. The crimson red blood between Genevieve’s legs came to his mind.
He shivered involuntarily and dropped the cigarette onto the coffee table.
Taking a deep breath, he picked up the cigarette and threw it into the ashtray. His voice was hoarse when he said, “Steven, I will be thirty-three in a few months. This is the first time I have kids, but I lost them within the ten minutes I learned of their existence. I have to do something for them.”
If it hadn’t been for the Faulkner family and if he had never made that promise to Samuel and said that he wouldn’t hurt Marilyn or the baby she was pregnant with, he would have already killed Marilyn.
Steven saw the murderous rage hidden in Armand’s eyes and knew how heavy the burden on his shoulders was.
“Understood. I will take care of it.”
It didn’t take long before the doorbell rang again. It was from the receptionist.
As the delivery man couldn’t enter and deliver their food, the receptionist had to deliver everything in person.
Steven placed the food on the table and left with the receptionist since he was done talking to Armand.
Armand went into the bedroom. He had wanted to wake Genevieve up to get her to have lunch. But when he saw her curl up on the bed and sleeping soundly with a frown on her face, he reached out and caressed her face.
As if she could sense him in her dreams, her relaxed body tensed up as she gripped the blanket.
Armand felt terrible when he saw how pale she was. In the end, he did not wake her up and left the room after closing the door.
