Chapter 627


    Chapter 627 You Should Not Hug Me Like This


    “Don''t know.” After two long months, Genevieve, who finally had her craving satisfied, was enjoying the meal prepared by Bruce.


    She looked up and nced at Bruce. “What about you?”


    “I want to apany you.” Bruce, with his dark eyes, stared at Genevieve unabashedly.


    Genevieve almost choked on her food, and her face flushed red because of the intense coughing.


    She retrieved two tissues to wipe her mouth and replied, “We''re not in a rtionship, and I don''t need you to apany me. Whatever


    resources that you need, just let me know, and I will do my best to secure them for you.”


    Bruce answered, “If you refuse mypany, then it''s not right for me to ept anything from you.” He continued, “Ms. Rachford, you can


    treat me as a dispensable tool just like Charlotte.”


    Shocked, she red at Bruce. “A-Are you crazy?”


    “No, I''m not. I just want to be there for you, yet at the same time, I do not want to pressure you.” Bruce put up a straight face. “The moment I


    be useless to you, then I''ll leave.”


    Every second mattered, and all Bruce wanted was to be by her side, be it for a day or an hour.


    Genevieve fell silent as she finished up the breakfast. Then, she went back to her room to change.


    When she came out of the room, Bruce passed her handbag to her.


    From the moment they finished breakfast until they left, they did not utter a single word to each other. Only after exiting the building did


    Genevieve notice the enormous pile of snow covering the area, presumably from the heavy snowstormst night.


    While on her way back, she recalled that Bruce was the one drivingst night too.


    And the keys were not in her handbag.


    Genevieve stood in the snow for a few seconds before abruptly pulling out her phone and sending a message to Bruce: I left my car keys.


    Please drive my car over here.


    Bruce did not reply, but after three minutes, her car pulled out of the garage.


    Genevieve opened the door to the passenger seat and got in. However, instead of getting seated, she unhurriedly approached Bruce and kissed


    him on the lips.


    With his hand around her waist, Bruce looked up and kissed her back.


    After a passionate kiss, Genevieve got on her seat and said with sparkling lips, “Let''s go somewhere remote and fun.”


    “Sure.” Bruce shed a faint smile.


    After thirty minutes, they arrived at an outdoor ice-skating rink.


    Because of the heavy snowst night, the roads and the trees were covered in snow, blending into the scenic view surrounding the ice-skating


    rink.


    The ce was far from the city, and given that it was Christmas, only a few were at the ice-skating rink.


    After scanning the surroundings, Genevieve impatiently looked toward Bruce. “I did say to bring us somewhere remote. But why did you


    choose this ce? I know how to ski, but not how to ice-skate.”


    “Don''t worry about it. I''ll teach you.” Bruce held onto her hand and walked toward the counter.


    After getting the skates, Bruce casually squatted down beside Genevieve and helped her put them on. After that, he helped her up. “Try taking


    two steps.”


    Genevieve did as he asked but nearly fell to the ground. Quickly, she hugged Bruce as though her life depended on it.


    “We''re in public, so you should not hug me like this, don''t you think so?” Bruce slyly remarked.


    Genevieve looked up and shot him a stare.


    With Bruce''s undivided attention as her trainer, Genevieve could pick up the techniques swiftly. In less than ten minutes, she was able to skate


    freely.


    Narrowing her eyes, she could feel the breeze brushing across her cheeks.


    Realizing that Bruce was not paying attention to her, Genevieve furrowed her brows as a n hatched in her mind. She crept closer to Bruce''s


    back and wanted to catch him off guard.


    However, before she could ce her hands on his back, Bruce instinctively turned around and carried her up. The next second, they were


    skating across the rink in a fluid and swift motion.


    Shocked, Genevieve, with her eyes staring furiously at Bruce, clutched tightly at his shoulders.


    “You noticed me much earlier but pretended not to. Did you do that on purpose?”


    “What are you talking about?” Bruce was acting dumb, but he failed to conceal the cheeky smile on his face.


    In response, Genevieve rolled her eyes at him.


    After a few hours, Genevieve got bored and asked Bruce to bring her to the nearest mall. Bruce then got her a basket of coins for the machines


    at the arcade center.


    Without restraint, Genevieve, like a kid, excitedly slotted the coins in the machines. But after a long afternoon, she failed to get any doll from


    the w machines.

    “I want to call the police!” Genevieve frustratedly said, “I want to report that this arcade center is a sham! How can they install such a loose


    w?”


    Bruce chuckled slightly. “Ms. Rachford, if you give me a kiss, I''ll get you the doll you want.”
