My Flirtacious Husband

Chapter 105 No Time For You
Genevieve placed both hands on her knees and stared at the plants opposite the stone pavements without blinking. Armand’s exquisite but icy-cold face appeared on her mind.
She did not know how to describe the emotions surging within her. Sadness overwhelmed her, leaving an uncomfortable feeling in her heart.
It turns out that he’s not born cold-hearted. I didn’t know that he used to love someone with all his heart.
After some time, Genevieve pursed her dry lips and asked Harriet, “Didn’t Ms. Marilyn love Mando a lot? She could’ve rejected Mr. Samuel when he went to see her.”
“Love?” Harriet chuckled. A tinge of mockery flashed across her sharp eyes. “When I found out that Samuel had gone to the Wood family to propose to Marilyn, I asked Marilyn to come over and gave her a chance to reconsider her decision. After all, I was worried that she was not thinking straight. However, she insisted on marrying Samuel as she felt happy being together with him.”
After a brief pause, she continued, “She abandoned her relationship with Armand without hesitation even though they had dated each other for more than ten years. Moreover, she decided to marry another man in such a short time. Do you think that’s love? That’s not all. After Samuel passed away in the accident, she came and told me that she was immature, so she had made the wrong decision back then. She even claimed that she still had feelings for Armand. That’s ridiculous, isn’t that? If it weren’t for the child in her belly, I would never want to see her anymore. But then…”

Harriet did not finish her sentence. However, Genevieve could understand everything behind the former’s heavy sigh.
She hugged Harriet’s arm and leaned her head on the latter’s shoulder. “My grandma passed away at an early age. I’m always upset about that. Now that I’ve seen you, I feel that she has come back. Grandma, you’re smart. Although there are many things I don’t talk about, you can still find out the truths on your own. However, I really like you a lot, Grandma. I want to fulfill my filial duties toward you. From now on, you’ll always be my grandma as long as you accept me,” she said softly.
“I like you too.” Lifting a hand, Harriet caressed Genevieve’s long, dark hair lovingly. “I don’t wish for Armand to have any connections with Marilyn. Sadly, Armand is the grandchild I pamper the most. He’s in his thirties now, so I really hope that he can find someone he loves and build a family.”
She paused upon saying that. A moment later, she added, “I hope you can try working things out with Armand. If you guys can’t get along well, I won’t force you to stay with him.”
“Grandma…” Tears welled up Genevieve’s eyes in an instant.
Harriet took off her emerald bracelet and put it on Genevieve. Putting on a warm smile, she caressed the young lady’s hand slowly. “It’s okay if you guys don’t work out. It really is.”
Genevieve did not know what to say. She leaned her head on Harriet’s shoulder affectionately.
They continued chatting in the garden for some time. Suddenly, Genevieve realized that it was already late. She tried to coax and persuade Harriet they would talk again next time. Then, she supported her and returned to the house.
After sending Harriet back to her room, Genevieve asked the housekeeper about the location of Armand’s room. Just as she was about to open his room door, someone opened the door from inside. The next moment, Marilyn walked out of the room.
Not only were her eyes puffy, but they were red too. It seemed like she had just finished crying.
Marilyn did not expect to run into Genevieve at the doorway. Her expression changed as she asked, “Why are you here?”
