Chapter 68 Are You Interested In Men
“Steven! Steven!” Patrick dashed into the room.
He embraced and planted a big kiss on Steven’s face. “How did you know that I liked that Pagani,
Steven? You even got it for me! You are really kind! I’m so glad to be your brother in this life!”
Steven wiped Patrick’s saliva off his face and stated emotionlessly, “That vehicle is not yours. It belongs
to Mrs. Faulkner.”
“Huh?” Patrick’s face fell.
“The fact that I can even feed you is already good enough. How can I afford to buy you a car, let alone a
limited-edition car?” Steven rolled his eyes and handed Genevieve the key to the Pagani.
“Mrs. Faulkner, this is the new car that Mr. Faulkner ordered for you. In the future, you can drive this car
to work.”
“Thanks.” Genevieve felt rather helpless as she took the key.
She had asked Armand to get just any car for her.
However, he had gotten her a limited-edition Pagani. It would be really hard to keep low profile while
driving such a car.
“Forget it, then. In the future, I will also work for Central Group, and I’ll be able to drive this car then!”
After a brief moment of sadness, Patrick rapidly regained his vitality.
He took the violin case from behind him and handed it to Genevieve. “I have a gift for you as well,
Genev!”
When Genevieve opened the violin case, she saw a beautiful brown violin inside. Its body was made
from wood of the best quality, and even the strings were pricey.
When she looked at the side of the instrument and saw the name of the person who made it, she turned
and looked at Patrick in shock.
“This is a hand-crafted violin by Master Emeti?”
“It is!” Patrick raised his eyebrows and said proudly, “I googled him. This gentleman was a skilled luthier,
and this instrument was one of his favorites throughout his life!”
Genevieve was surprised because she knew how pricey violins crafted by this luthier were. “How did you

obtain it?”
“It doesn’t matter how I got it. It’s a gift for you!” Patrick felt guilty for a moment as he recalled the
process of acquiring the violin.
He flashed another cheeky grin. “So, what do you think, Genev? I’ve been nice to you, haven’t I?”
From the moment Patrick raced into the room, Armand exhibited little interest in their conversation. As
soon as he saw Patrick pull out a violin and deliver it to Genevieve, he turned his attention to her.
Suddenly, Armand asked, “Can you play the violin?”
“Children from affluent families should be skilled in the arts.” Genevieve’s lips twitched when she heard
the hint of surprise in his tone. “Did you think I can’t do anything as well?”
“Yeah.”
Armand’s answer left Genevieve speechless.
He was having his coffee while sitting on the couch. As he observed Genevieve conversing with Patrick
while deftly tuning the strings, he didn’t know why, but his normally icy eyes warmed.
“Steven, transfer a million to Patrick’s card,” he ordered Steven abruptly.
“Whoa, Armand. You’re filthy rich!” Patrick got excited for a moment and quickly waved his hand. “You
don’t have to send me money. This is my gift to Genev for joining the company.”
“That amount is nothing to me,” Armand said casually. “Since she’s my wife, I can buy her anything she
wants.”
Patrick was dumbfounded by his dominant personality. He could not help but state cheekily, “Armand,
you are indeed a bossy CEO. That’s cool! But why let your interests be restricted to only women,
Armand? Hello, look at me over here?”
When Armand heard what he said, he frowned and looked at him with a darkened expressChapter 68 He
Is Defending Her
“Come on. It was only a joke!” Patrick chuckled happily, but when he noticed Armand’s gloomy
expression, he stopped laughing.
Genevieve, who was tuning the strings, raised her head and looked at the aloof man on the couch, then
at Patrick, who was beside him.
Her gaze became perplexed as she remembered her conversation with Timothy at the hospital.
Patrick noticed how she looked at him and got goosebumps. “Wow, Genev. Why are you staring at me
that way?”
“What’s the matter?” Genevieve gazed at him innocently. “I just thought you were handsome and gave
you a couple more glances.”
Patrick did not believe her nonsense and emphasized, “I was just kidding with Armand. I’m straight and
not stupid. I like a girl with a full bust and a curvy bottom!”
He lowered his head, looked at Genevieve’s chest, and shook his head.
The moment Genevieve noticed that, her expression turned cold. “You gave me a look and shook your
head. What is it? Is my figure so bad?”
“Genev, you have a nice figure. It’s just… your chest,” Patrick said while stroking his chin.
Except for Genevieve and two young housekeepers, the living room was full of men.
Genevieve didn’t expect Patrick to say that in front of everyone. Thick-skinned or not, she could not
contain her anger and was about to explode.
Armand, who was sitting on the couch, spoke coldly. “You are so talkative. Go do a hundred push-ups
before you eat!”
“Huh?” As soon as Patrick heard this, his smile disappeared. “Armand, I was joking around with Genev.”
Even though he was a strong man, this would not be an easy feat for him.
“Two hundred!”
“I—” Patrick was so angry that he was about to spew profanities.
“What are you still waiting for?” Steven, who was standing by with a serious face, gave Patrick a kick. “Is
that not enough for you?”
“Okay, I’ll do it!” Patrick was afraid that Armand would raise the number to three hundred push-ups, so he
did not dare to say anything.
Genevieve sneaked a look at the man on the couch as she watched Patrick do push-ups in the living
room.
She was aware that Patrick had been Armand’s capable assistant for quite some time, much like Steven.
Despite that, Armand was punishing Patrick harshly because of her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was defending her.
This realization prompted Genevieve to purse her lips as an indescribable emotion rose in her heart.
She recalled when she and Cooper lived under the same roof for almost twenty years. Other than the
first two years Cooper entered the Rachford residence, he had taken good care of her for all those years.
Toward the end, he merely seemed gentle but stopped defending her.
All of a sudden, she recalled the wedding. Although Cooper’s voice was gentle when he looked at her
and said, “I do,” his eyes were cold.
It turned out that the facts were right in front of her, but she did not see them because she was entirely
focused on him.
Armand noticed that Genevieve was lost in her thoughts, and he seemed to guess what she was thinking
about as well. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked a little upset but didn’t say anything.
Soon, Maria entered the living room. “Ms. Rachford, Mr. Armand, dinner is ready.”
Maria still called Genevieve “Ms. Rachford” after moving to Swallow Garden so that Genevieve knew she
wasn’t alone and that Maria was there with her.
It didn’t matter to Armand what Maria called Genevieve. He replied with a light hum and went to the
dining room.
Maria called Genevieve again, “Ms. Rachford?”
Genevieve came to her senses right away and looked at Maria. “What?”
“You were preoccupied just now and didn’t answer me.” Maria’s face was full of worry. “Is everything all
right?”
“I’m fine.” Genevieve nodded.
She had suddenly recalled her past with Cooper, and she did not realize she had fallen into a daze as
she thought about it and right in front of Armand, too.
She looked over at the man who was already at the dining table and felt guilty inexplicably.
My face doesn’t show what I’m thinking. He shouldn’t know why I was lost in thought, right?
After Patrick finished his two hundred push-ups, Genevieve and the others had finished their dinner and
were having some fruits in the living room.
After eating, Patrick ran to the living room.
He poured himself a cup of coffee. “I’m stupid. I didn’t think Armand was such a protective husband. I’ll
never make fun of Genev again.”ion. “Do you have a death wish?”
