My Flirtacious Husband novel Chapter 605

“Oh! Hi, Aunt Jane!” Amanda greeted, smiling sweetly. She even took the phone to the next room to look for Lucian.

When Jane saw Lucian's face, she realized he looked exactly the same as Armand when he was young. They had the same cold and impassive faces—although Jane had to admit that Lucian looked cuter.

Right after the call ended, Jane shot Genevieve a question. “Genev, why did you lie to Mando? Why did you tell him they were not his children?”

Genevieve decided to reveal the truth and told her about the complicated relationship between Armand and Jack.

Jane did not speak for some time after finding out about the truth.

“You know,” she finally remarked, “I've never seen Mando love someone like this. He's even willing to give his wealth and status away because of you. When you left him for Jack, I thought you were so cruel for betraying someone who loved you that dearly, but now, I don't know what to feel knowing that you've done so much for Mando.”

Genevieve took a sip of coffee and lowered her eyes. “Cesar might not deserve Charice's love, but that's what happened between them. I don't want Jack to become a merciless killer.”

The last thing Genevieve wanted was for the brothers to turn against one another.

Jane was at a loss for words. She knew just how ruthless Jack was. If Genevieve had not married him, the whole Faulkner family would not have lived till that day—including her—but Genevieve's sacrifice came at a costly price.

She and Armand had separated for more than four years until they eventually became worlds apart.

When Jane looked up again and saw how unaffected Genevieve looked, she was almost brought to tears as she imagined how much Genevieve must have been through to finally come to terms with reality.

“Genev, you have no idea how much Mando loved you. He just didn't tell you. He could have married someone else if he did not love you, but no, he waited for you all that while.”

Love?

Genevieve recalled what he said to her when he came looking for her at Regality Gardens the other day.

Back then, she was utterly unmoved, but when she relived that moment now, the determination and fear in his voice haunted her. Her heart felt like it was being squeezed in a fist, and her breathing became rapid.

“Genev? Are you okay?” Jane asked in concern when she realized there was something wrong with Genevieve.

The two talked for a bit, and Jane asked for photos and videos of the two kids because she adored them.

When night came after working hours, Cooper arrived at the company to pick Jane up.

After getting into the car, Jane asked him to drive her to a textile store located some thirty kilometers away from where they were.

“Seriously?” Cooper asked, glancing at her. “I can just call the shop and ask them to send a few samples over if you want to make some clothes. You know you don't have to go there in person, right?”

Jane shook her head, smiling. “You don't understand. Sometimes, you have to touch them for yourself to know if they're really good.”

Cooper kept quiet. As she said, he was really not an expert in that field.
