NovelOnlineChapter 399 What Has Gotten Into Jack “I was just asking.” Jack shrugged. “If you’re not related to the
Faulkner family by blood, you’ll make a good match with the beautiful Ms. Jane.” Jane pursed her lips.
“Please mind your words. Mando is my cousin, and I, too, have a… fiancé.” Unsure of whether she was
imagining things, Genevieve detected a hint of reluctance when Jane mentioned the word “fiancé.”
Jack, who didn’t make any further comments, handed Genevieve the menu. After throwing up on the
plane, Genevieve was indeed hungry. Hence, she ordered some spaghetti with crabs on the side.
Unexpectedly, Armand instructed the waiter, “Other than soups, give us one of everything.” Having
placed his order, Armand threw Jack an indiscernible smirk. “Mr. Valentine, I hope you don’t mind me
ordering even though you’re buying.” “Not at all.” Jack cracked a faint smile. Picking up the pistachios
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton the table, Jack cracked them one by one before placing the nuts on Genevieve’s plate. At the same
time, he asked, “Mr. Faulkner, since you grew up in Xedells, you must know the place very well. Can
you recommend me a romantic place to go?” Armand snapped, “You can find out for yourself by driving
around the city.” “I don’t have enough time for that since Xedells is huge.” Jack chuckled. “I would like
to take Genev sightseeing in the city in the afternoon before retiring early in the evening with her.”
Almost choking on the water in her mouth, Genevieve slammed the table with her hand. Upon realizing
that she had startled the surrounding patrons, Genevieve took a deep breath and suppressed her
anger. “I feel like staying in the hotel for the afternoon.”
Jack broke into a smile. “Sure. We’ll be staying at Camphor Hotel owned by Faulkner Group. I heard
that there’s a huge indoor pool there. We can go swimming together in the afternoon.” Holding the cup
by her lips, Genevieve felt the urge to smash it onto the ground. What has gotten into Jack? Soon, all
the dishes they ordered were served. As their table ran out of space, the rest of the dishes were placed
on a separate table behind them. The four of them proceeded to eat in silence. After putting some
clams onto a plate, Jack placed them in front of Genevieve. “Genev, you should eat more. You’re just
too thin. I can barely feel anything on your waist.” The moment he heard the comment, Armand
clenched his jaw, and hairline cracks appeared in his cup. As for Genevieve, she continued to eat as if
she was oblivious to Jack’s remark.
By the time they were done, the dishes on the table looked as if they were untouched due to their sheer
volume. Thus, Jane instructed the waiter to pack up the leftovers. When it was time to leave, Jack
walked up to Genevieve’s side and held her jacket for her. With her lips pursed, she grudgingly allowed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhim to put her jacket on for her. Her skin tingled when she, without looking up, felt the heat of
someone’s gaze at her. Outside the restaurant, Jane suddenly invited Genevieve, “Ms. Rachford, since
you’ll be bored staying in the hotel, how about I take you to go shopping?” “Sure. I didn’t bring any
clothes on my way here,” Genevieve readily agreed as she felt the urge to stay as far away from Jack
as possible. Just before Jack could squeeze a word in, Genevieve preempted him, “Girls can shop for
a very long time.”
“I’ll get the driver to send you, then,” Jack compromised as he handed her a black card. “If you see any
jewelry or clothes you like, go ahead and splurge.” After receiving the card and grunting in
acknowledgment, Genevieve hurried into the car with Jane in tow. Turning her head around upon
closing the door behind her, Genevieve heaved a sigh of relief as she watched the two men disappear
from view. “Thank you.” She expressed her gratitude to Jane. “You left with me just like that. Aren’t you
worried that I will hurt you?” Jane’s eyes glowed. “I’m Xavier’s fiancée after all.” Genevieve broke into a
faint smile. “If you were on his side, you wouldn’t be having lunch with Mando.”
