    Chapter 996 Give Me A Kiss


    In the next second, Genevieve frowned and shot daggers at Armand. “What makes you think you''re my boyfriend? Did I agree to it?”


    “You sat down and ate the breakfast I made. I took that to mean you approved of my cooking skills and agreed to be my girlfriend.” The man


    chuckled. “Oh yes. I marinated some pork loins earlier, which should be ready by noon. I''ll make you baked pork chop for lunchter.”


    After a slight pause, he sighed. “Oh wait, I forgot I''m still not your boyfriend. Let me get rid of all the food now.”


    With that said, he pushed his chair away and stood up, ready to clear the dishes on the table.


    Genevieve, who had yet to satisfy her hunger, immediately grabbed the man''s wrist upon seeing his action. “Why are you so petty? I''ll pay for


    the dishes; is that fine?”


    “I''m sorry,” Armand rejected heartlessly. “Only my girlfriend gets to eat my cooking.”


    “Fine, I''ll agree to it!” Genevieve hastily uttered. In truth, she had already agreed to it sincest night. The reason she was annoyed was that


    he had seen her in a nightdress just now.


    We''ve only met a few times, after all. How can he suddenly appear at my house? Who wouldn''t be surprised if they were in such a situation?


    Armand sat down at the dining table.


    ncing at the hand grabbing onto him, he was intrigued by how attractive and slender it was. But at the same time, he felt his heart ache at


    the sight of the faint scar on the wrist.


    He had asked the doctor to perform a scar removal surgery on Genevieve. However, the scar could only be reduced and notpletely


    removed.


    An indescribable pain pricked his heart, and in response, he grabbed Genevieve''s wrist and nted a kiss on that scar.


    Genevieve felt a slight itch as a result of his action.


    Perhaps because Armand was too tender with his kiss, but she was not repulsed by it and merely retracted her hand a little instinctively.


    In response, the man grabbed her tightly and stopped her from withdrawing her hand further. With his other hand, he fished out a sandalwood


    rosary bracelet from his pocket. The beads on it were tiny and had prayers carved on them.


    Genevieve detected a light scent of sandalwood—it was like a soothing breeze, so fresh and invigorating it could leave one feeling at ease.


    The bracelet twirled around Genevieve''s wrist thrice, fitting her just perfectly.


    “Is this a gift?” There was a tinge of disdain in Genevieve''s eyes as she nced at the rosary bracelet on her wrist. “But I prefer a bangle or an


    emerald bracelet.”


    I have several drawers of jewelry in my walk-in closet. If I leave them there to collect dust, then what''s the point in buying them in the first


    ce?


    Armand grunted a response and gently brushed the rosary with his fingers. “I polished every bead myself. The prayers on them were hand


    carved by me too.”


    He was a free thinker.


    However, if religion could protect his loved one, he would unconditionally ce his faith in the gods he never believed existed.


    These beads are so tiny. I wonder how this guy managed to carve prayers on them? Genevieve could not imagine it at all.


    “Wear it from now on, and don''t remove it,” Armand uttered. “You can wear your other pieces of jewelry on the other wrist. These beads are


    made with high-quality sandalwood. Smell it when you''re tired as it''ll also make you feel rxed.”


    Genevieve could attest to that since the light sandalwood scent had calmed her down earlier even when she did not bring the bracelet close to


    her nose.


    Without hesitation, she epted the gift.


    “Since I gave you a gift, shouldn''t you also give me something in return?” Armand asked.


    “How about I buy you a wristwatch?” Genevieve responded.


    The man did not see the need for another watch. In truth, she had given him a wristwatch a few years ago, and he had been wearing it since.


    Armand lowered his head and fixed his gaze on her. “Give me a kiss.”


    At the thought of that sudden kiss he nted on herst night, Genevieve immediately ced her fingers on his lips and shoved him away. “I


    want to eat the steak now. It won''t be nice once it turns cold.”


    Armandughed silently.


    While Genevieve returned to her room to put on makeup after breakfast, the man washed the tes and took another look at the pork loins in

    the oven before removing his apron and leaving it on the kitchen counter.


    Shortly after, Genevieve walked out with her hands on her ear, seemingly struggling to put on her earrings.


    At the sight of that, Armand approached her, took the pearl earring from her grip, and gently put it on for her.


    He also grabbed the bag from her shoulder and put it on his.


    At the doorway, Armand opened the shoe cab, and after asking what Genevieve wanted to wear, he pulled out the ck pointed high heels


    from the second rack and got down on his knees to put them on for her.


    Throughout the entire process, the man was so skilled and natural it made Genevieve feel as though they were a couple who had been married


    for a long time. It was almost like such behavior was a daily routine to them.
