Chapter 495 Why Lock The Door


    Armand pushed the shopping cart past her without a hint of expression as he muttered, “No,


    thank you.”


    Genevieve picked out a few boxes of fruits and caught up to him.


    When she put the fruits into the shopping cart, she asked Armand, “Mando, what do you n to cook


    for dinner?”


    “I''m going to order takeout.”


    “No, takeout food is not healthy. Besides, we are already at the supermarket.” Genevieve dragged him


    to the poultry section and said, “You could make pasta or steak.”


    Armand was a tall man, and he had garnered the attention of the people at the supermarket.


    Someone recognized Genevieve who was standing beside him and asked, “Are you that actress,


    Sylvie sen?”


    Genevieve''s face sank. However, she still replied politely, “No, I''m not.”


    Upon a closer look, the person realized that the woman before him was actually prettier than Sylvie.


    He then apologized to Genevieve and scurried off.


    Genevieve''s good mood soured because of the incident. She hurriedly dragged Armand out of the


    supermarket after they were done buying groceries.


    After they were back in the mansion, Genevieve went into the kitchen, followed by Armand.


    Armand took out the groceries from the bags.


    Genevieve dealt with the bag that had the fruits in them. Then, she washed the apples and the box of


    blueberries and served them on a te. She stored the rest in the fridge.


    Armand was tall and handsome, and he was quite meticulous in cooking. Genevieve could not help but


    enjoy the sight of him cooking.


    He did not pay heed to her fervent stares as he continued to cook in a calm andposed manner.


    Armand cooked the steak and cut them up before serving them on a te.


    He could not drink alcohol because of his wound. Hence, Genevieve took out some juice from the


    fridge and poured two sses.


    The ck pepper gravy perfectlyplemented the juicy steak.


    Genevieve appeared to be happy as she enjoyed the steak. “Mando, your cooking skills are still tip-top.


    This steak is better than the ones I''ve had in famous restaurants.”


    “Could you be quieter now that you''ve had some food?” Armand said as he peered at her.


    “All right. I''ll shut up.”


    Genevieve did not say anything further as she was thankful that he had cooked her the meal, never


    mind that she had waited four years for that very meal.


    Mando is truly a qualified house husband.


    After they were done with dinner, Genevieve cleaned up the dishes and took them to the kitchen.


    They had a dishwasher. So, all she had to do was to load the dishes into the dishwasher and wipe the


    stains off the stove.


    After she was done cleaning the kitchen, Genevieve headed upstairs. She noticed that a few


    organizing boxes were left outside Armand''s bedroom.


    Genevieve peered inside and noticed that they were all her items. She could not help but knock on


    Armand''s door.


    When he opened the door, Genevieve pointed at the organizing boxes on the floor and said, “Why did


    you clear out my stuff?”


    “There are other rooms on the second floor. Feel free to choose one of them,” Armand stated inly.


    “I''m here to take care of you,” Genevieve argued. “If I don''t stay in the same room as you, how would I


    know when you don''t feel well in the middle of the night?”


    “My back is hurt, but I''m not crippled. I don''t need you to be at my beck and call.”


    Before Genevieve could protest, the door was mmed shut in her face.


    What a heartless man! Why is he ignoring such a beauty like me? I''m practically hurling myself at him!


    Genevieve contacted the housekeeper of Swallow Garden to ask the whereabouts of the spare keys


    for the rooms upstairs.


    ording to the housekeeper, the spare keys were in one of the drawers in the living room. There

    were a number of spare keys, but none of them were for Armand''s bedroom.


    When it was eleven o''clock, Genevieve tiptoed out of the adjacent bedroom and sneakily tried to peer


    through Armand''s door crack.


    She noticed that the lights were off and reckoned that Armand was already asleep.


    Then, she sneakily tried to turn the doorknob. As expected, the door was locked.


    Why is he locking the da*ned door? It''s not like there are thieves here!


    Genevievemented to herself and stood right outside his bedroom for some time before heading back


    to her room.


    She hurled herself onto the bed and cupped her chin as she stared at the wall that stood between her


    room and Armand''s room. Genevieve wished she could use a sledgehammer to smash the wall down


    so that she could enter his room.


    Just when Genevieve was about to fall asleep, she happened to nce at her balcony.


    She sprung out of her bed immediately.


    In the master bedroom, Armand leaned against his headboard as he clutched onto a few pieces of


    paper that had turned brownish.


    He spared a few minutes to parse through the papers. There was no discernible expression on his


    face. Then, he folded the papers ording to their original creases.


    Armand opened the book lying on his nightstand and slit the sheets of paper in between the book.


    Just a while after Armandy down, he was roused awake by the sound of the sliding door of his


    balcony.
