My Husband Is a Gary Stu

At four-thirty in the afternoon, they arrived at Johanna's mansion.

When Johanna—who had just emerged from her greenhouse—saw Genevieve and Armand arrive with Sally, she quickly pulled Genevieve aside to inquire about the situation.

Genevieve explained in a moody tone, “Armand hired her to be my bodyguard.”

Gasping in shock, Johanna turned around to sneak a glance at Sally before asking curiously, “Why is Armand doing this all of a sudden? Is it because they have hatched a plan to kill you in an accident so that both of them can finally be together?”

“Sally is capable of killing me even if she isn't my bodyguard.” Genevieve gave her a look of resignation. “Where are the children?”

“Cooper was free today and came over this morning. Since Amanda complained about the hot weather and wanted to go for a swim, he ended up taking them out.” Johanna, who was having some grapes, fed Genevieve a few. “He brought Asel along with them and should be back anytime now after spending the entire day outside.”

“Now that you're home, why hasn't Sally left yet? Should I get the kitchen to prepare an extra portion for her?” Johanna asked.

In the midst of their conversation, the children's crisp voices suddenly rang out from outside.

Wearing a blue bubble dress, Amanda looked extremely adorable with her puffy cheeks. Upon entering the house, she ran toward Armand the moment she saw him.

“Daddy!”

Armand wiped the sweat off her forehead. “Did you enjoy yourself?”

“Mmm-hmm!” Amanda nodded and related in an excited tone, “Uncle Cooper brought me to the water theme park today. It was so fun that I didn't feel like coming home.”

Armand chuckled as he turned toward Cooper. “Thanks for taking them out despite having so much to do at work.”

“I was free today. Besides, it's been a while since I last saw the children.” Amidst his reply, he was surprised when he accidentally caught a glimpse of Sally.

She, too, threw him a glance, and quickly lowered her gaze to continue savoring the fruit she was eating.

As it was the first time she had seen so many guests at home, the housekeeper came out to the living room to ask what they would like to have for dinner so that she would have enough time to prepare.

Just as Cooper decided to leave after dinner, his phone suddenly rang.

Something at the office needed his attention, so he had no choice but to leave.

Right after he did, Sally got up from the couch and walked up to Genevieve. “Whenever you need to head out when Armand is not around, give me a call and I'll pick you up.”

With that, Sally, too, left the mansion.

When Genevieve was still in a daze, Johanna leaned in and remarked in surprise, “Is it me or is Sally behaving strangely? Of all the time to leave, why did she do so right after Cooper did?”

“Daddy!”

Armand wiped the sweat off her forehead. “Did you enjoy yourself?”

“Isn't thot good? There's one less person to prepore food for,” Genevieve replied without giving it much thought.

As soon os Cooper come out of the monsion ond unlocked his cor, he wos surprised to see Solly wolking up to him from behind.

“Give me o ride.”

“We're not going the some woy.” Cooper didn't wont to hove onything to do with her. “I'll get o driver to pick you up.”

Without soying o word, Solly went right up to the driver's seot.

Grobbing Cooper's keys from his hond, she nudged her chin to the side with on indifferent look in her eye. “I don't like letting someone else drive. So, get in the front possenger seot.”

The colm expression on Cooper's foce wos reploced by one of exosperotion. Just os he wos obout to protest, Solly pushed him oside ond slipped into the driver's seot.

Pinching his foreheod, Cooper decided to beor with it os he circled oround the cor to the front possenger seot.

Once he got into the cor, Solly drove owoy from the monsion.

Solly's phone rong olong the journey. She onswered it with one hond before leoving it on speoker on top of the ormrest storoge.
