Upon receiving her answer, Amanda covered her mouth in laughter. “Mister, you should explain
yourself to Monumy and reconcile with her. After that, you’ll be able to see me! 1, too, love you and
hope to meet with you soon.”
Unfortunately, Armand dicin’know how to break the news to Amanda that he had recently been spurned
by Genevieve despite confessing his feelings.
Just when he was holding his phone and tom by conflicting emotions, Steven arrived with someone
else following hini.
Cognizant that Steven had business with him, Armand had no choice but to end the call.
– What is it?” he asked Steven
“It’s about Ms. Rachford.” Just as he spoke, Steven pointed to the middle-aged woman behind him.
She was thin and had a pale look on her face,

ago,”
“Mm-um. I remember her.”
Genevieve didn’t know how to cook. Hence, to avoid her ordering takeout all the time, Armand had
instructed Steven to arrange for a housekeeper to take care of her.
Steven reported grimly, “Melissa said that Ms. Rachford was pregnant very early on.”
“What?” Armand’s pupils constricted.
Even though a long time had passed since Armand was Melissa’s boss, she still felt nervous in the
presence of someone of his stature.
Nodding, she concurred in a meek tone, “It’s true as I found Ms. Rachford’s pregnancy test report.”
She handed a document that was visibly crumpled to Armand.
After receiving it, Armand skimmed through the date the pregnancy was diagnosed, and upon a quick
calculation, realized that Genevieve was already pregnant in October that year.
He remembered that there had been a blackout after they returned home from a movie that day.
While both of them were in the bathroom, Genevieve had told him that there was no need for protection
since she was barren.
As’aresult, the two children could very well be his.
With that possibility flashing through his mind, Armand’s hand trembled while holding the report.

Sweeping his gaze to Melissa, he questioned her, “Why did you wait till now to inform me instead of
doing so when you first picked up the report?”
Feeling a chill downlier spine, Melissa rubbed her hands in remorse, “Back then, I wanted to see Mr.
Sullivan and tell him about it. I lowever, someone stopped me on the way there and asked if I know
about Ms. Richfond’s pregnancy. I was so terrifice that I just nodded. Subscquently, they kave me a
sum of money and ordered me to leave Jacleborough… Mr. Faulkner, I didn’t hide it from you on
purpose. 1-1 was just scared for my life,” Melissa explained in tcars. “Those people were really scary.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs the men hadn’t been aware that she had the pregnancy test report in hand, they hadn’t demanded it
from her.
After taking the money, she had hurriedly fled Jadeborough.
Nevertheless, the matter continued to weigh on her shoulders, unsettling her for the last four
years.
When she was diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer and wasn’t given long to live, she decided to
return to Jadeborough and contact Steven so that she could clear her conscience.
From Melissa’s words, Armand knew that Jack had learned of Genevieve’s pregnancy early on and
was probably the one who sent the men to intimidate the housekeeper into silence.
Evidently, Jack wanted to hide the matter from him.
After giving Armand a look, Steven suddenly remarked, “On the day I brought Ms. Rachford to Swallow
Garden, not only had I given her the flash drive but also told her about the past. She cried really hard
after hearing that, which makes me think that she still loves you.”
All this while, he didn’t understand why Genevieve had returned after so many years. It wasn’t until he
recalled how she bawled the other day that he suddenly understood.
If she didn’t love Armand, why would she come back to Jadeborough and return to his side?
“You’re right. She does love me a lot.” Staring at the pregnancy test report, Armand felt an excruciating
pain in his heart.
“However, I never knew that and allowed her to leave four years ago.”
