Chapter 104 How Long Can She Stay

Samantha curled her lips into a smirk. “Why do I feel like you were going against your grandma?” Armand’s eyes twitched, and his expression was still cold. “Aunt Samantha, you’re overthinking. I changed my room that night. Coincidentally, I bumped into Genevieve.” Samantha chuckled. “Yes. I guess I’m overthinking. Genevieve is beautiful and smart. But then…” Holding a cigarette between her fingers, she picked up her coffee on the table and asked, “How long can she stay by your side?” Armand replied, “As long as Grandma likes her, she can stay as long as she wants.” “Even if Mom likes her, I’m afraid you might not be able to keep her, anyway.” Samantha looked like she had seen through everything. She shot him a meaningful glance and continued, “She can’t stop what’s going to happen to her.” Armand sensed the meaning behind his words. His eyes twitched again in response. Right then, Mandy, the young housekeeper, walked to the living room. Bowing, she said, “Mdm. Marilyn is not feeling well. She requested you to go and check on her.” Samantha smiled as she put out her unfinished cigarette on the ashtray. “Great. We’ve just finished talking too. I’m going upstairs to take some rest now.” Having said that, she stood up and headed upstairs. Armand was still sitting on the couch with his head hung low. Holding a cup of coffee in his hand, he exuded a cold temperament around him. Mandy stood there and waited for a long time. Ten minutes later, she started sweating profusely. Left with no choice, she mustered up her courage and said, “Mdm. Marilyn says she has something to tell you. Please go upstairs and—” “All right,” Armand replied emotionlessly, putting his cup of coffee on the table. Meanwhile, Genevieve held Harriet’s arm while walking in the garden. The pale, silver moonlight shone on the stone pavements, illuminating the path. As they walked, they could hear the faint rhythmic chirping of insects that sounded from a distance away. Harriet glanced at the moon as she started slowing down her pace. “Vivi, I have an old story to share with you. Do you want to listen to it?” It seemed like Genevieve had predicted what she wanted to say. Her gaze darkened in an instant. “Grandma, if you want to share it with me, I’ll listen to you,” she replied softly. Then, they walked toward the bench beside the pavement and sat on it together. Harriet told her a story about a pair of lovers who fell in love but were accidentally separated. Fourteen years ago, Armand met theContent © NôvelDrama.Org.

second daughter of the Wood family, Marilyn, in a hospital. He fell in love with her at first sight. Marilyn was quite famous in the music industry during that period. Hence, many young, wealthy men tried to pursue her even though she was still a minor. Both Marilyn’s and Armand’s families were equally prominent and influential. Moreover, Armand was outstanding and capable even though he was still young. Not to mention that Marilyn had feelings for him too. Therefore, they got into a relationship soon after. After they dated each other, Armand treated Marilyn so well as if she was a treasure. No matter which country Marilyn went to organize her concert or attend training, Armand would always go and visit her every four days despite how busy he was. He had never missed any of her recitals. Furthermore, he would always sit on the most conspicuous seat in the first row of the auditorium. After Marilyn finished her performance, he would go on the stage and hand her a bouquet personally every time. Unfortunately, Armand took over more and more businesses soon after, so he became busier. Besides, Central Group had just been established in Jadeborough during that time. Hence, he had to spend most of his time at work. Because of that, he could not meet Marilyn frequently. Although they had to spend a lot of time away from each other, Armand was always caring toward Marilyn. He asked someone to custom-make their wedding rings, and he planned to propose to her after returning to the country. Sadly, before Armand could finish settling his work overseas, he heard the bad news that the plane his father boarded had crashed. When that happened, the entire Faulkner family broke into utter chaos. Armand quickly returned to the country to settle his father’s funeral and post-death matters with his brothers. He planned to visit the Wood family to discuss his engagement with Marilyn first. They would then hold the wedding after Armand’s father’s funeral. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the Wood family, he noticed that his third brother, Samuel, was also there. The Wood family accepted the marriage between Samuel and Marilyn. Genevieve could not come back to her senses even after Harriet finished her story. Some days ago, Genevieve forced Patrick to tell her the story between Armand and Marilyn. However, the man hardly followed Armand around, so he did not know much about the latter’s story. Hence, Genevieve only knew that Marilyn was Armand’s first love, and they had ended up on bad terms before engagement. I didn’t expect the truth of the story to be like this.
