NovelOnlineChapter 374 It Is Nice To Be Childless
Armand paused for a moment before he walked right out. He paid a personal visit to the warden and
asked the man to give Marilyn a private cell. He also asked him to perform a full body check-up on her
every month and donated one hundred million to the prison on the spot. He also gave the warden thirty
million. The warden was so happy that he was smiling ear-to-ear when he took the money.
He repeatedly promised to get everything done well. When Armand was on his way back, his gaze
became less bright as he wondered about what Marilyn had said. What did Genevieve tell her that day
outside the building? That was when a delivery man called Armand to give him an update. “Hello, Mr.
Faulkner. The groceries you ordered have been delivered to the receptionist at your condominium.”
Armand’s thought returned to the task he had at hand. He murmured an affirmative reply. Armand had
been worried that he would be back late and wouldn’t be able to get anything fresh. That was why he
had ordered the groceries for dinner online about three hours ago. Arriving back in the city, he had

He had called the florist in advance as well, and the florist dared not dawdle. She had asked him when
he would be there, then told her people to go to the garden and pick the flowers. An enormous bouquet
of green roses was wrapped beautifully before being placed in the car. The pleasant floral aroma filled
the air in seconds. Steven snuck a peek through the rearview mirror and chuckled. “These are Mrs.
Faulkner’s favorites.” Steven had been witnessing everything from the side after Armand survived that
car accident.
The former realized that the latter had changed quite a bit after the accident, and Genevieve had
become much nicer to him. It seemed that the huge rift between them was slowly closing up, and that
was something Steven was happy to see. As Armand stared at the roses, he suddenly thought of
something. “By the way, why did you also get us an ear of wheat when I sent you out to buy some beef
this morning?” “Oh, that,” replied Steven. He rubbed his nose when they were at a traffic light and
seemed a little awkward. “Thing is, when I went to buy the beef, the stall owner’s son had just come
back. He told me that his son had just got married. His son bought some wheat and placed it at home,
hoping to be blessed with a child soon. Before I left the place, his son gave me an ear of wheat
because there were too many.
. Unfortunately, I don’t even have a girlfriend, so I thought I’d give it to you and Mrs. Faulkner. Who
knows? Maybe she’ll get pregnant soon.” Armand’s gaze darkened after he heard that. The silence
lasted until the traffic light turned green, and Steven began driving again. Armand piped up, “She is not
well enough to have babies. It’s quite nice to be childless, actually.” Hearing Armand’s words made
Steven realize that there might be something going on between Armand and Genevieve. However, he
didn’t say anything. He couldn’t help sighing deeply when he thought about the past. Armand soon
made it back to the condominium with that bouquet of flowers. There, he found Genevieve in a sweater

“Why are you sitting here in the living room? You didn’t even turn on the heater,” said Armand as he
turned the heater on. Seeing that Genevieve did not respond, he entered the living room with those
roses and crouched down before her. “I had a lot to do today, so I was late.
” After that, he presented the roses and said, “These are for you.” Only when Genevieve heard his
voice vaguely did she come back to her senses. She looked at the man before her and the roses in his
hands. Her eyes glowed a little, and she accepted the flowers. Armand assumed that Genevieve was
only upset because he was home late. He removed his cufflinks and placed them on the coffee table
before rushing to make dinner.
The front desk had delivered the groceries some time ago, and Genevieve had left them all on the
kitchen counter. The beef was fresh. Genevieve stared at the roses in her hands, then at the tall man
busying away in the kitchen. Her eyes grew watery for a moment. Quickly, she pulled herself together,
grabbed the document on the couch, and walked toward Armand. When she was close enough, she
placed them on the kitchen counter. Armand was busy chopping some mushrooms when he saw
Genevieve setting the document down. He shot a quick look at it, only to see the terrifying words right
in front of him.
