After their lips parted, Genevieve punched Armand in frustration. “You're trying to infect me with your cold, aren't you?” she grumbled, her lips swollen.

“You probably got infected already when you fed me the medicine,” Armand said. He stroked Genevieve's cheek and pulled her closer with his other hand. “Why did you come all the way to Baykeep at this hour?”

“I was bored.”

Armand pressed his forehead against hers and chuckled. “You're worried about me, and you miss me,” he pointed out in his deep voice.

With her thoughts exposed, Genevieve moved away from Armand. “I wouldn't have come had I known you'd be such a jerk.”

“I miss you too. I think about you all the time,” he whispered before landing another kiss on her lips.

They cuddled each other affectionately, leaving almost no space between them.

Although Armand's hair was dark and smooth, the hair beside his ears had slightly curled ends, making his sharp features look softer.


Genevieve couldn't help but reach out and tousle his hair.

At the sight of Armand's disheveled hair, she burst into laughter. “Right when I first met you, I noticed that your hair was curly and wanted to mess it up.”

“Go ahead,” Armand said. “I grew my hair on purpose since you said you wanted to see my curly hair.”

Genevieve frowned in confusion. “Did I?”

“Yes. You forgot because you have too many things going on,” Armand said softly. Then he stood up and carried her into the bedroom.

Genevieve immediately tensed up and wriggled out of his arms. “I may have agreed to date you, but that doesn't mean I consent to other things! If you dare to mess around, I'll make you regret it!”

The truth was, Genevieve liked Armand a lot. Not only was she dependent on him, but she was also secretly attracted to his body.

However, she found those thoughts to be inappropriate.

It's only been a while since we started dating. If things progress too quickly, I'll appear unchaste!

Armand couldn't hold back his laughter when he noticed Genevieve's wary yet conflicted expression. She looked way too adorable to him. “I just wanted to carry you to the bedroom. I wasn't thinking of anything else.”

“You men are liars!” Genevieve retorted. This old man is too sly. I don't believe him!

“Okay, fine. Can you just let me take a bath, then?”

“That's the same thing! Do you think I'd be fooled? After you're done bathing, you'll get into my bed.”
