Chapter 562
Placing the things outside the bathroom door, Bruce made a few knocks and left.
After putting on the dress, Genevieve walked over to the dining room. She was still a little embarrassed to sec Bruce, “I’ll transfer you the money for the couch later.”
“It’s fine. A stained couch can still be used. It’s a small matter. Don’t worry about it, Ms. Rachford.” Bruce refilled the bowls with some hot stew.
“I’ll make you a hot drink after lunch,” he added.
Murmuring in reply, she took a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into her mouth. It tasted heavenly, and it was not too greasy.
It was so delicious that she could not help but exclaim, “Bruce, how are your cooking skills so good? This is as delicious as the ones made by the chefs out there. What am I going to do if I become picky because of you! I’m going to starve to death if I can’t eat the food sold outside.”

“We’ll see,” Genevieve responded vaguely while munching on her food.
Bruce’s braised pork was so delicious that Genevieve almost finished the entire plate.
Right then, she remembered her conversation with Jane that morning. “I have a friend whose health isn’t in a good condition,” she stated. “I want her to live happily, but she’s fallen for someone she isn’t allowed to love. I don’t know whether I should help her or make her give
Bruce asked, “Is it a family problem?”
Genevieve sighed. “It’s more complicated than that. The person she likes is somewhat related to her. It’s against the morals of the world for them to be together.”
That was why Genevieve was feeling so conflicted at the office in the morning. She did not dare to give Jane advice, nor did she dare to help the latter.
With everything Genevieve had told him, Bruce could pretty much figure out who it was.
His pupils narrowed. Clearly, he was surprised.
Ever since he brought Jane back to Jadeborough, she would always get Steven or Cooper’s help when something came up. Sometimes, he would get Jane to join him for a meal with Cooper. Never did he expect Jane to secretly harbor feelings for Cooper.
However, Jane had been unwell since young and had been resting at home most of the time. She rareiy got the chance to talk to somcone of the opposite gender. Hence, Bruce could understand why Jane had fallen for Cooper.
Quickly recollecting himself, Bruce asked, “Do many people know about their relationship?”
Genevieve shook her head. “It’s just Steven and me. The other person who knows is already…”
She continued eating and said no more.
Bruce swept a glance at her face and smiled subtly. “Who’s going to condemn them if there are only two people who know about their relationship? You? Steven? It’ll be too late for regrets if a person doesn’t cherish the one they love right now.”
That last sentence was meant for himself.
Back then, Bruce suppressed his feelings and told Genevieve a lie because he did not want to see her leaving with another man again. In the end, it became a tragedy for both of them.
What he regretted the most were the things he said to Genevieve that night outside the building.
Genevieve sensed Bruce’s dejected tone and dark expression. Immediately, she recalled the scene where his ex-girlfriend came looking for him at the film festival in Baykeep.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, she lost all her appetite to cat. “I’m full,” she said with displeasure.
Seeing her suddenly put down her utensils made Bruce realize something was off. “Genev, I think you’ve misunderstood something. I—”
Genevieve cut him off, “Address me as Ms. Rachford. Don’t use my name. Whatever you’re thinking has nothing to do with me. I’m very full now. Thank you for the meal.” With that, she pushed the chair and went to the living room to get her bag and her keys.
Before Bruce could even run after her, he heard the door slamming shut.
He frowned, feeling frustrated. At the same time, he scolded himself inwardly. Ugh. I should‘ve just focused on talking about the situation. Why did I have to bring myself into the conversation?
However, the fact that Genevieve left in anger showed she cared about him.
Even so, he did not know whether he should be feeling happy or jealous.
He was right beside Genevieve, yet he could only meet her with another person’s identity. Perhaps the person she likes is the owner of this face.
