NovelEnglishAfter dinner, Genevieve and Jack went back to the hotel.
As it was Christmas Eve, Jack sent someone to buy a Christmas tree and other decorations. Then, he
put the Christmas tree in the corner and hung up the LED lights.
At night, Jack was reluctant to leave, so Genevieve forced him to leave.
While Genevieve was washing up in the bathroom, Johanna called. She then talked to Johanna for a
while and told her that she would be going back to Jadeborough the next afternoon.
The moment she left the bathroom, someone rang a doorbell.
It was the hotel staff. He had a red apple and a glass of beverage on his tray, and he said, “Mr.
Valentine asked me to send you this.”
“Okay, thanks.” Genevieve took over the things and closed the door.
The drink was a coconut drink, and it smelled good.
Coincidentally, Genevieve was hungry. After finishing the drink, she placed the empty glass on top of
the bar.

dopamine rush as if she had drunk coffee.
However, the feeling was not too strong, so Genevieve did not pay much attention to it.
Just as she was about to tuck herself in, someone rang the doorbell again.
Genevieve was annoyed, but her legs moved on their own, bringing her to the door to open it.
In the next second, Jack was greeted with the sight of Genevieve in her nightgown, her hair cascading
down her shoulders.
Perhaps because she had taken a shower, her eyes seemed watery, and she looked even gentler than
usual.
Jack’s eyes darkened. He smiled and asked, “Genev, are you going to sleep soon?”
“Yes, I’m a little tired.” Genevieve’s voice was soft and pleasing to the ear, making the listener’s heart
melt.
She then blinked and looked at the man. “Is anything the matter?”
“I can’t sleep.” Jack caressed her cheek.
Genevieve did not move away. Instead, she let him continue as her expression relaxed.
It was then Jack noticed that something was wrong with Genevieve.
Usually, Genevieve would either stiffen up or discreetly move away from his touch. Yet, she was
strangely docile and gentle at that moment.
As Jack stared at her, he tentatively asked, “Genev, can I come in?”
“Sure.” Genevieve opened the door for him.
Upon entering the room, Jack instantly spotted the empty glass on the bar and a red apple.
Genevieve followed his gaze and softly said, “The coconut drink you sent tasted great, but I’m too full
for the apple, so I left it there.”
Jack did not send her anything.
However, he could guess that something had been added to her drink, judging from how meek
Genevieve had become.
Jack then leaned back against the couch before beckoning Genevieve over. Then, like a teased kitten,
she ran over to him.
He brushed his fingers against her soft lips as the look in his eyes darkened. “I’ll stay here tonight,
okay?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGenevieve nodded without hesitation. “Okay.”
“Good girl.” Jack let out a low chuckle. He then wrapped his arms around Genevieve’s waist before
sitting up on the couch. At the same time, he made Genevieve sit on his lap before leaning toward her
to kiss the corner of her lips.
Her tender lips and faint fragrance nearly made him go mad.
Meanwhile, Genevieve had her eyes lowered as she obediently let him kiss her.
At ten at night, Armand, who had been working the whole day, returned to Camphor Hotel.
Just as he came back to his room and took off his jacket, Cooper called.
Cooper was swift. On his second day in Dartan, he had already found out certain things about Jack
from various sources.
Cooper said to Armand, “Jack grew up in Dartan. I’ve found numerous photos of him as a child in
Dartan, but I can’t find anything about his parents. The place where Jack used to live is now a tall
building, and I can’t find any of his neighbors…”
Hearing that, Armand narrowed his eyes.
He never thought that Jack was actually capable of concealing the matters concerning his parents so
well.
