    Chapter 156 Overthink


    The manager nced 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


    shed 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 frenziedments from theizens.


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


    also have to apany their wife to go shopping after getting married.


    Another wrote: Look at someone else’s husband! He’s handsome, he apanies 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 amenter replied: I heard she’s Mr. Faulkner’s first love from the Wood family. Could it be her?


    Theizens 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 ce to sit and


    y with their phones instead of apanying 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


    apany 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.
