Chapter 146 Pity
The housekeeper came upstairs with a bowl of soup. When she saw the state of the mess that the room was in, she hurriedly placed the bowl on the table and walked over.
“Mdm. Marilyn, please be careful. You’ll cause harm to the baby if you behave like this.”
“Tell me. Why did Mando not come to visit me?” Marilyn asked the housekeeper. The hand she used to lean against the makeup table was trembling. “Has he really fallen in love with Genevieve? Mando said that he’ll wait for me. He can’t go against his promise like this…”
She stared at the bump on her belly, a sinister look in her eyes.
If only this child doesn’t exist…
The housekeeper could tell what Marilyn was thinking. She hurriedly kneeled down and used her hands to shield Marilyn’s stomach while persuading, “Mdm. Marilyn, please don’t do something rash! You know how much Mr. Armand cares about the child, and there’s Old Mr. Faulkner…”
This housekeeper wasn’t sent to Marilyn by the Faulkner family but was instead the housekeeper who had been staying by Marilyn’s mother’s side before this. Now that Marilyn was pregnant, she was assigned to Marilyn to take care of her.
When she left, she still remembered what Mrs. Wood had told her.
“Mr. Armand is busy with work, so he can’t keep you company. Didn’t he send Dr. Jensen over?” the housekeeper said while moving closer to Marilyn. “You knew that Mr. Armand had long since made the agreement to hand the shares of Central Group over to this child. He treats the child in your belly as his own. That’s why he cares so much for him. Nothing bad can happen to this child.”
After listening to the housekeeper’s words, Marilyn felt a little better.
She touched her belly with her hands, her eyes turning slightly red as she said, “But I can’t take this. How could he marry Genevieve? I’m his only wife! His one and only wife! S-Summer, tell me…” Marilyn suddenly grabbed the housekeeper’s arm and asked her a question that sounded as if it was directed at herself at the same time. “Is Mando taking revenge on me? For getting married to Samuel? He must be doing this to take revenge on me…”
When the housekeeper saw that Marilyn was overthinking things, she was scared that she would cause harm to the fetus. She was very flustered as she said, “Mdm. Marilyn, please don’t overthink this. Didn’t I tell you previously that Mr. Armand married Genevieve only to make Old Mrs. Faulkner happy? Think about how long you’ve been together with Mr. Armand, and how long she has been together with him!”
“But they’re living together now.” The more Marilyn thought about this, the more she was unable to stand it. “How could he let Genevieve take photos like that?”
When she saw that photo, she almost went insane.
She couldn’t sleep for the whole night, for she had been calling Armand’s phone to demand an explanation from him. However, he had his phone turned off.
Seeing that Marilyn was unable to accept the situation, the housekeeper was so anxious that she didn’t know what to say to her.
At that moment, the phone that Marilyn had thrown onto the bed vibrated.
The housekeeper hurriedly went over to take the phone while saying, “It must be Mr. Armand! He must be worried about you, so he has sent a message to ask about you.”
Without even waiting for the housekeeper to pass her the phone, Marilyn snatched the phone over and turned it on to see what the man had sent to her.
Unfortunately for her, the message wasn’t from Armand. The light in her eyes seemed to have gone out for a moment.
But then, when she opened the message and scanned the words in the photo, her pupils contracted abruptly.
The expression on her face turned from one of surprise into shock.
Finally, a fire of hope was ignited once again in her eyes, and a smile appeared on her lips. “I know why Mando has decided to marry Genevieve now.”
The housekeeper asked, “Did Mr. Armand explain things to you?”
“No, but I know that he only has me and the baby in his heart. He loves me, and me only.” Marilyn caressed her belly, the smile on her face becoming even more jovial and bright.
She even started to pity Genevieve now.
She pitied Genevieve for not knowing anything, for being kept from the truth.
Some time later, when Genevieve woke up, she felt a throbbing pain in the deeper corners of her throat, and her nose was attacked by the smell of disinfectant.
The stinging smell reminded Genevieve of a lot of bad things, so she was instantly woken up.
She looked around herself, only to realize that she was inside a luxury single ward, and beside the bed was a man sitting there.
