Chapter 244 A Little Too Late
While the two of them were dating, Armand took Marilyn on trips around the world, attended all of her
concerts, and even gave her all the presents she wanted.
Even so, the feelings he had for her were completely gone without him even realizing it.
Thinking that marrying Marilyn would solve the issue of him not loving her deeply enough, he had Steven
prepare a ring for his proposal.
Unfortunately, all that awaited him was the news of Samuel heading over to the Wood residence for her
hand in marriage.
Although Armand had liked her and dated her for thirteen years, he felt no anger from her betrayal
whatsoever. If anything, he actually felt relieved as if a boulder had just been lifted off his chest.
Timothy chuckled. “You don’t know if you like Genevieve? As if you’d have her hotel changed if you didn’t

mad right now if you don’t like her!”
Armand looked up at him. “Am I mad?”
Timothy nodded. “Yes, you are. I felt the rage emanating from your body when you saw that video of
them having lunch together. You looked like you wanted to snap Cooper’s neck! Just admit it, Armand.
Even I can clearly see that you like Genevieve. Come on, it’s perfectly normal for a guy to have feelings
for a girl! Besides, Genevieve might’ve ended up committing suicide if it weren’t for you!”
Armand simply kept quiet and sipped on his coffee.
Is that so? Maybe it started when she came knocking on my car window to apologize after our cars
crashed. Her bright smile and pretty eyes brought my dead heart back to life. Or, maybe it happened
later on when I kept having dreams of her beautiful eyes. That’s probably why I stepped in after finding
out about Cooper’s plans.
“Still, your feelings might’ve come a little too late, Armand.”
The smile on Timothy’s face faded as he continued, “I asked Genevieve to get admitted into the hospital
when she came over the other day. She said she’d drop by with you later that night, and her eyes were
filled with joy when she mentioned you. Her behavior hasn’t changed since the miscarriage, but
something seems to have disappeared from her eyes.”
Armand felt like his coffee had turned a lot more bitter after hearing Timothy’s words.
“I saw Genevieve at the hospital yesterday. She went to the gynecology department. I later asked the
doctor what happened, and she told me that Genevieve had a tubal ligation done,” Timothy continued
after a brief pause.
Armand’s hands were trembling so much that he lost his grip on the cup, causing the coffee to spill all
over his pants and shoes.
An icy-cold sensation spread through his body, and it suffocated him so much that he could barely

The atmosphere in his office instantly fell into a dead silence.
Unable to stand the depressing energy in the air, Timothy tried to break the silence by speaking up. “See,
Armand? This is what happens when you don’t pay attention to her. Had she not gotten pregnant and
suffered a miscarriage—”
Armand cut him off by slamming his tightly-clenched fist into the coffee table, breaking it into pieces on
the spot.
It happened so quickly and suddenly that Timothy was left frozen in shock.
As the things on the table fell to the floor, Armand muttered angrily through clenched teeth, “Get out!”
Fearing that the next punch would land on his face, Timothy quickly got up and left while mumbling to
himself, “Geez, why lash out at me? I’m not the one who caused her miscarriage! All I did was tell the
truth!”
The glass table had left a nasty cut on Armand’s hand, but he didn’t seem to feel any pain as he sat
there staring blankly into space.
