Chapter 497 Work Harder


    “Let go,” Armand chided while grabbing Genevieve''s hand.


    Genevieve lowered her head and bit the back of the man''s hand.


    After Armand let go of her hand, Genevieve removed his pajama top and saw that the gun wound near


    his shoulder de had almost healed.


    However, it had left an ugly scar.


    Genevieve kissed Armand''s wound gently before hugging him from the back.


    When she recalled what she heard in the sh drive''s audio file in the study that day, she felt so upset


    that she almost burst into tears.


    Burying her face in Armand''s neck, the woman asked in a hoarse voice, “Does it hurt a lot? For the


    past few decades, your family members have treated you coldly, and they''ve even tried to assassinate


    you. Did you feel lonely without anyone by your side?”


    Armand merely kept quiet.


    The next moment, Genevieve kissed him deeply, hoping that he would feel her love and longing for him


    in that kiss.


    She did not want to let go of him ever again and wanted to stay in his embrace forever.


    Very quickly, Armand took control of the situation by pulling the woman in front of him and deepening


    the kiss.


    The bedroom was illuminated with warm light emitting from themp on the bedside table.


    Genevievey on the bed with her long ck hair spread out. Although she was drenched in sweat and


    feeling exhausted, she continued staring at the man, reluctant to close her eyes and rest.


    She could see that his eyes were bloodshot with desire and beads of perspiration had formed on his


    forehead. Everything about Armand was mesmerizing to the woman.


    She slid her fingers across the Genevieve Orsi that was tattooed on his chest and felt his skin trembling


    slightly. Genevieve let out a heartyugh.


    Armand looked down at her and asked with his eyes slightly narrowed, “Why are youughing?”


    “I''mughing because you''re so adorable.”


    After she finishedughing, Genevieve put her arms around the man''s neck and pulled him toward her,


    saying, “Mando, I don''t feel like going to the office tomorrow. I''ll have to depend on you. Work harder,


    all right?”


    Armand''s expression darkened when he heard the woman''sment. A momentter, he started


    kissing her passionately.


    The next morning, while Armand was still sleeping with Genevieve in his arms, he heard his phone


    ringing.


    Half awake, he felt for his phone and picked up without looking at who the caller was. “Hello,” he


    answered in a hoarse voice.


    “Hello?”


    A little girl answered uncertainly. Hearing the girl''s sweet voice, Armand was instantly awoken.


    It was only then that he realized that it was Genevieve''s phone that he was holding.


    As the man did not reply, the girl''s curious voice sounded again. “Hello, why are you not speaking?”


    The girl''s voice was so sweet that Armand could feel his heart melting.


    Just by hearing her voice, Armand could already imagine how pretty and adorable the girl was, looking


    just like her mother.


    “Mister, do you not like talking to me?” Amanda asked, feeling slightly upset.


    Armand cleared his throat before answering in a gentle voice, “It''s not that.”


    “Oh,” Amanda replied before asking, “Why do you have my mommy''s phone? Are you together with her


    now?”


    Armand took a nce at the woman, who was still sleeping soundly. After a moment of contemtion,


    he said gently, “Nope. Your mommy left her phone at the officest night.”


    When Amanda heard that, she covered her mouth and giggled.


    Mommy has already told me that she would be moving in with Daddy, but Daddy still came up with


    such a lousy excuse. Daddy is so silly!


    Amanda did not expose his lie and replied, “Oh, so are you my mommy''s boss?”


    “Yup.”


    That was the first time the little girl spoke to her daddy. As such, she did not want to put down the


    phone so quickly and kept finding topics to talk to him about.


    Armand carried on entertaining the girl, but as he was afraid to wake Genevieve up, he got up and


    went to talk in the walk-in closet.


    Amanda said, “Mister, I guess you must be very handsome!”


    Armandughed in amusement before replying, “Why would you say that? You''ve not even seen me


    before.”


    “Because your voice is very pleasant,” Amanda said before continuing, “Besides, you sound so gentle!


    I really like your voice. That''s why I''m sure you''re a very handsome man!”


    While the two of them were chatting, Armand heard a cool voice saying on the other end of the line,


    “Amanda, it''s time to sleep.”


    Armand nced at the time on his watch.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Due to the time difference, it was currently nighttime in Dartan.


    “All right. You should go to bed now,” Armand said softly.


    “OK then,” Amanda said reluctantly as she continued, “Mister, can I talk to you again next time?”


    Armand remained silent for a few seconds before giving his number to the little girl. “Just treat it as if


    you didn''t call your mommy today, okay?” he asked.


    “All right!” Amanda understood exactly what the man meant and added, “This shall be our secret.”


    Armand let out a low chuckle when he heard that.
