Chapter 917
Genevieve gazed at Herbert's full head of gray hair and craggy face. She could tell just how much he had lived in suffering all these years upon learning that his daughter was gone.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she went up to him and gave him a hug. “Granddad,” she addressed him formally.
Herbert sighed as he patted her on the back.
Though Herbert was Genevieve's new-found kin, Armand was jealous of him for hugging his wife for too long. He approached them surreptitiously and gently separated Genevieve from Herbert's embrace.
“Don't get too worked up, Granddad. Your health is our utmost priority.” Armand took two pieces of tissues and wiped Genevieve's tears away.
Herbert's mind went black for several seconds. He was taken aback by Armand's unexpected change of the term of endearment for him.
However, he was quick to realize Armand's hidden agenda. Hence, he pulled a long face and left him with some sour remarks. “You call me your granddad, but deep down, you're calculating how long I've been hugging my granddaughter. We've just found each other. What's wrong if I wanted to have a moment with her?” The older, the wise indeed.
Armand collected himself and replied calmly, “She gets teary easily. I was afraid that her tears would wet your shirt.”
Genevieve secretly pinched Armand's waist and escaped from his arms. “Granddad, he always bullies me. That's why I cry a lot. You should stand up for me and teach him a lesson.”
She tugged Herbert's arm and acted all cute.
“How dare you bully my Genev!” Herbert glared at Armand immediately.
Armand peered at Genevieve helplessly, whereas the latter arched her brow smugly and mouthed a victorious line at him. I've got my strong backing now. What are you going to do about it?
