My Husband Is a Gary Stu

“You're opening a store locally?” inquired Genevieve with a raised eyebrow.

“The store I opened in Feston last year is doing pretty good. The one I'm going to open in Jadeborough this year will be located in a mall owned by Specter Corporation. Do offer me a discount on the rent,” replied Johanna.

“Which unit do you want? I can have my brother gift it to you.”

“That's not a good idea. I'm not the only one who owns this brand, and I can't have the others pocketing the extra money because of the free rent,” responded Johanna, pouting.

Amused, Genevieve chuckled as she poked Johanna's cheek playfully.

Amanda rushed over to hug Genevieve's leg as soon as she heard that her mother was going out, begging the woman to take her.

However, Genevieve dared not take the children with her because Steven was not around.

Before Genevieve left, Amanda quickly called Armand and complained, “Daddy, Mommy's going out with Aunt Jojo, but she's not taking us with her. Poor us...”

Genevieve snorted at the little girl with her arms akimbo. “Poor you? Am I torturing you or something? Didn't I just take you out yesterday?”

At that point, Amanda felt even more aggrieved. “Did you hear that, Daddy? Mommy just scolded me.”

The girl had turned on the loudspeaker, so she and her mother could hear Armand's deep chuckle. “Forget about Mommy. I'll send a cook over so he can make you the best beef burger and your favorite strawberry cake. What do you say to that?”

“Hurray! I love you, Daddy!” shouted Amanda happily, her frown immediately turned upside down.

Genevieve then snatched the phone from her daughter and complained, “I only texted you because I didn't want to disturb you, yet you have the time to comfort your daughter on the phone. Furthermore, how can you afford a private cook when you've given me all your assets?”

“I can't, but Mr. Sutton can. The cook will bill him,” answered Armand shamelessly.

“So you're comforting our daughter with my brother's money. You're despicable!” sneered Genevieve.

“Where are you going with Johanna?” inquired Armand. “Maybe I can join you guys later for a free meal.”

“We're not sure yet. I'll send you our location later.” Genevieve blew the man a kiss over the phone when she saw that Johanna was ready to go and hung up.

Johanna then gave Genevieve a disgusted look. “Do you guys have to be so lovey-dovey? Armand just left this morning.”

“Are you jealous?”

“Why should I be? It's not like I'm still single.” Johanna rolled her eyes while grabbing her handbag before walking out with the woman.

The girl had turned on the loudspeaker, so she and her mother could hear Armand's deep chuckle. “Forget about Mommy. I'll send a cook over so he can make you the best beef burger and your favorite strawberry cake. What do you say to that?”

“You ond Timothy getting remorried?” osked Genevieve ofter they got into the cor.

“Nope.” Johonno fostened her seotbelt before continuing, “If we get remorried, he'll hove o shore of my weolth ond our doughter's. There's no woy I'll let thot hoppen.”

“It's not like you're filthy rich,” mocked Genevieve. “You just wont to string Timothy olong.”

“If not him, then who?” joked Johonno with o chuckle.

Johonno took o foncy to o bronded women's clothing store on the fourth floor ot Porogon Moll, so she informed Cooper ond hod him moke the necessory orrongements.

The borbecue ploce wos just beside the moll, so the two went stroight to it ofter checking out the store.
