Flawless and Flirtatious (Genevieve and Armand)

Chapter 156 Overthink

The manager glanced at her finger and said, “Please wait for a moment. I’ll go get some lubricating oil.”

So I couldn’t remove the ring because I didn’t use lubricating oil?

Thinking that the ring would be removed soon, Genevieve felt a bit better. When the manager returned

with the tools, Genevieve immediately sat upright on the couch.

The manager applied the lubricating oil on Genevieve’s ring finger and the gap between the ring and her

finger. He tried for a while, and the friction made Genevieve’s finger red, but he still could not take off the

ring.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Faulkner. This wedding ring fits your finger too well,” said the manager helplessly.

Genevieve wanted to deny her identity as Armand’s wife, but she could not speak and it was

inconvenient for her to type on her phone at that moment. She could only glower at the wedding ring.

The ring indeed fits my finger. I don’t feel pain when wearing it, but I can’t take it out!

Returning after signing for the jewelry, Armand saw that Genevieve’s ring finger was red. Something

flashed across his eyes, and he asked casually, “Are we going to check out another jewelry store or buy

some clothes?”

Genevieve looked daggers at Armand and stormed off.

She visited every jewelry store on the current floor because she was unhappy, picking every piece of

jewelry once she had her eyes on them.

Armand followed quietly and paid all those with his card.

There were many people in the shopping mall. A lot of guests who were looking at the jewelry were

surprised when they saw Genevieve splurging on the jewelry. Some recognized Armand and secretly

took pictures of Armand and Genevieve before posting them online.

Soon, the pictures online sparked frenzied comments from the netizens.

One commenter wrote: I thought people with high status live a different life from us. Looks like they also

have to accompany their wife to go shopping after getting married.

Another wrote: Look at someone else’s husband! He’s handsome, he accompanies his wife shopping,

and he pays for them for his wife with his card! My husband looks as if he’s dying when he follows me to

go shopping!

Someone wondered: Who exactly is Mrs. Faulkner? I really want to know.

And a commenter replied: I heard she’s Mr. Faulkner’s first love from the Wood family. Could it be her?

The netizens had a heated discussion online to find out the identity of Armand’s wife. At that moment, as

if intentionally, Genevieve went to the floor that sold handbags and picked from one store to another after

finishing buying the jewelry.

She knew men detested wasting their time shopping with women. They would find a place to sit and play

with their phones instead of accompanying their partners.

Once Armand grew impatient, Genevieve thought she could argue confidently with him. It would be best

if he signed the divorce agreement and threw it at her, telling her to leave.

But Armand followed behind her and remained calm all the time. He did not show a hint of impatient. It

was Genevieve, however, who hissed in pain when her heels bled after she walked in high heels for a

long time.

Armand went to the nearest shoe store and bought her a pair of slippers.

When he returned, he kneeled in front of Genevieve on one knee and put on a band-aid on her bleeding

heels.

“Don’t go out tomorrow.” Armand slightly bent down and put on the slippers on her fair feet. “I’ll ask

Steven to get brochures from every brand in the mall. Just get them to send the items to the hotel directly

if you have your eyes on anything.”

Armand did not scold Genevieve for walking in high heels for a long time. Instead, he was worried that

she was tired from shopping and did not want her to go out again.

Lowering her head and looking at the top of Armand’s head, Genevieve felt bitterness slowly fill her

mouth.

She had never figured out why Armand was sometimes so indifferent and sometimes so nice to her.

It was until moments earlier that she found out the reason. Whenever Armand was nice to her, it was

because of Marilyn.

The first time she went to the Faulkner residence, her legs were scalded severely due to Marilyn’s

scheme. Armand had asked Steven to send her a lot of gifts. He had even gone to Regality Gardens to

accompany and coax her.

The second time, Genevieve was almost strangled to death in the shooting club by Marilyn’s men.

Armand had rushed to Springwyn. Not only did he take care of her gently, but he even went out shopping

with her.

Genevieve had wanted to ask Armand about the scars on his back only out of concern back then. Yet he

had said impatiently, “You should go on with your own life. You don’t need to put your focus on me

constantly.”

Genevieve thought Armand was gentle to her because he loved her.

Yet little did she know that she had been overthinking the entire time.

Genevieve guessed that Armand refused to divorce her and let her go because she was not from a

prominent family and hence she wouldn’t dare to make a move on Marilyn. Plus, Harriet favored her.

It was tough to find another woman again who fit those conditions.
