Chapter 713
With one being the former husband of her good friend, and the other her own friend, it felt a bit wrong in
Genevieve's esteem for them to behave so flirtatiously without a care in the world.
Genevieve turned back to regard Johanna who was simply enjoying her pasta; the latter's fine mood
was seemingly unaffected by anyone else in the slightest.
While drinking her water, Johanna noticed Genevieve looking at herself. Glancing at the pair who were
behaving immodestly across the way, she seemed to have caught up. “If you don't want to look at
them, shall we go and eat somewhere else?
Genevieve was momentarily stumped. “That's your ex-husband.”
“It is you put it, ex-husband. So, it's none of my business.” Johanna stuffed another mouthful of pasta
into her own mouth. “Why should I care about him seeking someone new? He's got a good eye this
time, choosing a mega-rich and pretty little thing like her.”
Genevieve did not know how to respond to seeing how at ease she was, as though she had completely
severed whatever emotional ties she had with Timothy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHaving known each other for so many years, Genevieve knew how deeply she had loved Timothy.
For over five years, Johanna and Timothy walked side by side, experiencing both the good times and
the bad. Both had matured exponentially since then and only managed to finally come together after
undergoing so many trials and tribulations.
That was why Genevieve would not believe that Johanna had already moved past that relationship.
Then, Charlotte approached Genevieve. “I think I may have some issues with my clothing, Genevieve.
Do you mind coming with me to the restroom to help me sort this out?”
“Sure.” A smiling Genevieve then stood up and left with Charlotte.
Previously, Genevieve was only motivated by her own desire to prevent Charlotte from siding with
Sylvie. After getting to know her better, she had come to genuinely want Charlotte as a friend.
Wealthy, smart, and of good character, she was also well connected in many circles.
After leaving the rooftop garden, Charlotte promptly explained to Genevieve, “I've only realized that
Timothy is Johanna's ex- husband after he told me so. To tell you the truth, I wouldn't have come out
for lunch with Timothy if not for my father's insistence. With Mr. Jensen unwell, Timothy has been put in
charge of Forlisle Group. My father was worried about Timothy being taken by another woman and
thus kept urging me to call him and talk to him more often...”
With that, Charlotte evoked a look of despair.
Forlisle Group is practically a gold mine. If the Bensons and Jensens were to be linked through marital
ties, Mr. Benson would be able to make inroads into the healthcare industry and expand his own
business portfolio. Not just Mr. Benson, I bet that there are many other directors with daughters who
have also set their sights on Timothy.
In light of the perks involved, it got Genevieve smiling. “When I saw you and Timothy behaving lovey-
dovey and all, I was for a moment puzzled as to why you would be interested in him.”
Charlotte fancies men who possess the qualities of being dashing, doting, and docile in her boyfriends.
Being similar to her in more ways than one, it would be mutual torment for Timothy and Charlotte to
date each other.

“Lovey-dovey my ass!” replied a furious and cussing Charlotte. “He purposely exploited me to try to
make Johanna jealous and used my father to threaten me when I refused. Just eating the grilled
mushroom he fed makes me want to puke! Had I not wanted something from him, I would have
smashed the plate on top of his head the second he tried!”
Upon hearing Charlotte's complaints, Genevieve could not contain her own amusement.
As Timothy had not laid his eyes on Johanna once since he stepped in, his nonchalance almost had
Genevieve convinced that he did not care about her.
To think that it was all an act.
Back at the rooftop garden, Johanna was already done with her minced-meat pasta. Summoning the
waiter over, she then proceeded to place an order for an iced coffee.
Much to her surprise, while she was fiddling with her phone, a cup of hot chocolate was placed on her
table instead.
“I've asked for an iced coffee...” Thinking that the waiter might have made a mistake, Johanna looked
up to address him, only to realize that it was Timothy who was standing beside her.
Timothy pulled up the chair next to her and sat down. “It'd be better to drink something warm this time
of the year.”
