Chapter 935
Something finally clicked for Armand after he helped himself to some pasta. Afterward, he turned to regard Genevieve. “You obviously made this pasta, so why did you ask me to choose from amongst the rest of the dishes?”
“Pasta is considered a dish on its own too. How could you try to put that on me when you couldn't get it right yourself?” replied Genevieve adamantly.
That rendered Armand speechless.
Feeling that the pasta she had prepared herself was a tad undercooked and hard to stomach, Genevieve decided that she was done with it after a few mouthfuls. She then scooped the remainder of what she had left into Armand's plate and helped herself to more servings of pork loin to satiate her belly.
After Armand cleaned up the table after their meal, Genevieve went to brush her teeth and also rinsed off an apple while she was at it.
Since the building employed a centralized cooling system, the temperature in the room could not be adjusted. Out of concern that the lightly dressed woman might catch a cold, Armand retrieved a blanket from a cabinet which he subsequently used to cover Genevieve's legs.
Once she was done paring the apple, Genevieve sliced off a piece of it and fed it to the man.
Armand held her close and stroked her hair. “What made you decide to drop by?”
Chewing the apple in her mouth, Genevieve mumbled. “The weather is too hot outside, so I couldn't take the kids out to play. If they stayed in, they'll surely come to demand that I take sides should they end up fighting. I've no interest in getting mixed up in all that, and that's why I thought that I might as well send you some lunch.”
“With that being the case, I suppose that I really should thank you for keeping me in your thoughts,” replied Armand light- heartedly.
Genevieve fed him another piece of apple, then asked in confoundment, “What's going on with Sally? Didn't she say she’d be my bodyguard? Why has she been replaced by two male bodyguards today?”
“When she went to the airport that day, was she...” Genevieve sprung up from Armand's embrace. “Expressly there to see you?”
“Something came up unexpectedly for her, so she won't be able to serve as your bodyguard anymore,” Armand stated.
“How did you know that? Did she inform you of this herself?” Genevieve's diminutive face grew solemn while she regarded him in wariness. “Is there something going on between the two of you?”
“Stop being jealous,” Armand laughed. “You know that I only have eyes for you.”
Genevieve leaned over, pressed her ear against his chest, and listened to the man's stellar heartbeat.
