Chapter 512 Resentment Holding Johanna’s hand, she kept murmuring till her voice had gone hoarse.
Timothy stepped into the ward again at six in the evening, looking refreshed after a shave. He stated,
“I’ll hire two caretakers to take care of Jojo. Please drop by to visit her whenever you are free. She’ll be
fine.” “Okay!” Seeing that Timothy had pulled himself together, Genevieve heaved a sigh of relief and
left with Jack. Knowing that Genevieve had not taken much during lunch, Jack took her to Golden
Restaurant after they left the hospital. Upon arriving, he requested a private room.
“I know you like to have meals here.” He handed her the menu. Genevieve only ordered two dishes at
random as she did not have much appetite. “Jack, I can’t go back to Dartan with you at the moment. I
need to wait for Jojo to regain her consciousness first.” She cut to the crap after the waiter left with their
orders. Since Sylvie had the gut to strike at Johanna, she could not leave without first settling the
score. Jack hummed approvingly. “It’s been years since I was last back in Chanaea. I can grab the
opportunity for a short break too.” After sounding Genevieve out and seeing how she treated Armand
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtindifferently in the cafe earlier, he was convinced that the drug he injected into her body previously was
working.
Thus, there was nothing he needed to worry about. Not to mention, Genevieve had lost the bet. Jack
accompanied Genevieve back to Regality Gardens after dinner. Shortly after, his car pulled to a halt in
the basement car park. Still seated in his car, he turned to look at Genevieve. “Genev, are you still not
willing to let me go up?” After much hesitation, she pursed her lips. “Let’s go.” Undeniably, she had
been rejecting him for quite some time. Even if she still refused to let him enter her residence, she
would still have to talk herself into getting used to him by her side after she was back in Dartan. Even
so, she could not fathom the inexplicit resentment amid the emptiness in her heart. Why am I still
feeling so, although the man who loves me is right in front of me? The following morning, Amanda
called Genevieve again. Initially, Genevieve felt down in the dumps because of what had befallen
Johanna. The moment she heard her daughter’s mellifluous voice, however, her heart melted. She
even switched it into a video call. The little girl’s dainty face came into sight at once. She gazed at
Genevieve with a glint of mischief in her eyes. Undoubtedly, she was a pretty little girl bearing a
resemblance to Genevieve. Sprawling out on the carpet and wiggling her two chubby legs, Amanda
kept her eyes glued to her mother as the woman made some coffee in the kitchen.
“Mommy, isn’t Daddy awake yet?” She loved chatting with Armand because he not only had an
attractive voice but also sounded gentle. Even so, she dared not contact him for the past few days,
assuming he was with her mother. Genevieve, who was pouring coffee at that moment, stiffened briefly
before she cast her eyes down. With that, she explained gently, “Mandy, I can’t get along with your
daddy. I’ll be marrying Mr. Valentine instead. I can assure you he’ll be a great father.” “Huh? Why can’t
you get along with him?” Amanda asked quizzically, widening her eyes. Didn’t Mommy fly back to
Dartan previously to prepare a birthday present for Daddy? She even took one of my drawings as she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwanted to give it to him! How’s it possible that Daddy and Mommy suddenly can’t get along?
Genevieve explained candidly, “Erm… I guess I’ve lost my feelings toward him. Mandy, our emotions
are complicated and indescribable with words. There’s no point forcing ourselves to do something we
don’t like. For instance, you don’t like to eat carrots, and I never force you on that either.” Hearing that,
Amanda dropped her head gloomily, unable to comprehend what was going on. Didn’t Mommy talk
about Daddy blissfully when we had a phone conversation previously?
How could things change so abruptly? Right that instant, Jack stepped into the kitchen in beige casual
wear. “Morning.” He wrapped his arms around Genevieve from behind her and kissed her. When Jack
realized Genevieve was having a video call with Amanda, the glint in his eyes turned softer. He greeted
Amanda, “Mandy, have you taken your dinner properly lately?” Noticing Genevieve and Jack in casual
wear, Amanda realized the latter had spent the night there. In an instant, her gloominess intensified.
