Chapter 827
Genevieve couldn't help but feel all warm and fuzzy inside. When she saw Amanda hopping down the stairs, she
quickly beckoned the latter over.
“Sweetie, do you think these flowers are pretty?”
“Wow! Those are bi-color roses!” Amanda exclaimed. “They're so beautiful!”
“That goes without saying! Your father planted them himself!” Genevieve said proudly. “Did you know he built a few
greenhouses to plant flowers just for me? Are you envious?”
“Very much so!” Amanda replied with a pout. “Doesn't Daddy love me the most? Why isn't he planting flowers for
me too?”
Genevieve playfully pinched her daughter's nose. “That's because I'm his wife, and his roses are for me only. When
you grow up, there will also be someone who'd do the same for you.”
“I doubt it,” Lucian muttered as he strutted down the stairs, dressed coolly in sports attire. “Given how much of a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcrybaby she is, whoever marries her must have the heart of a lion.”
“I'm not a crybaby!” Amanda whined. “Mommy, why was I born a minute later than Lucian? If I were the older twin,
he wouldn't be able to bully me!”
Lucian pursed his lips. “Even if you were born earlier than me, you'd still be an idiot.”
Unable to put up with the siblings' bickering so early in the morning, Genevieve brought the roses into the dining
room and placed them in a vase.
Steven had long laid out a breakfast spread, and thankfully, the food was still piping hot from having been kept in a
thermal bag.
“Steven, have you had your breakfast?” Genevieve asked as she sat down at the table.
“I've eaten at Golden Restaurant.”
Genevieve was happily savoring a scone when she suddenly recalled something and looked up at Steven. “By the
way, Steven, do you have a girlfriend?”
“No,” the latter replied, his mouth twitching ever so slightly. “I like my life the way it is now.”
Before Genevieve could say anything else, Amanda interrupted in her sweet, saccharine voice, “But isn't it better to
have someone by your side, Mr. Sullivan? It'd be just like my daddy and mommy! Mommy always said Daddy was
lonely until he had us.”
“Only two people truly in love will be happy together,” Steven explained while pouring a glass of warm milk for the
little girl. “Unfortunately, there isn't anyone I love. Besides, I like spending time with you and your brother.”
“I like you too, Mr. Sullivan!” Amanda remarked with a megawatt smile as she gave him a heart-shaped hand
gesture.
Genevieve, on the other hand, couldn't get over how heart-rending the conversation was.
She knew Armand had always regarded Steven as family and vice versa, but she still hoped the latter could find
someone special to be with for the rest of his life.
“That reminds me, Mrs. Faulkner, I've sent you Mindy's information earlier,” Steven added.
“Okay,” she answered as she unlocked her phone and skimmed through the material. “Ah, so she's a top graduate
from an arts college in Petalgrove. No wonder those photos went viral so quickly on Instagram.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“She's indeed very good at packaging herself. While her degree is bona fide, her claims about her various awards
and achievements are nothing but a pack of lies,” Steven scoffed. “That said, she can forget about carving out a
career in the arts from now on.”
“Is Timothy responsible for that?”
Steven nodded. “Asel had a high fever the day before, so Dr. Jensen and Ms. Joule took her to the hospital. As luck
would have it, Mindy was also there. She even ran to the ward to look for Ms. Joule...”
Even though Steven had refrained from going into the details on account of the children, Genevieve knew Mindy
must have gone to provoke Johanna.
“How did she find out, though?” Genevieve asked, a curious frown on her face. “Only a handful of us knew about
Timothy's marriage to Jojo and their subsequent divorce. Furthermore, the one he had a scandal with was
Charlotte.”
“I guess she must have paid good money to hire private investigators.”
After thinking long and hard for a moment, Genevieve turned her attention back to Steven. “Steven, you've known
Timothy for as long as you've been with Armand. Do you think he'd do a thing like that?”
To her surprise, Steven nodded without hesitation.
