Genevieve clenched her jaw and gave the awkward hug the boot.

Anthony felt bad.

She hated him so much!

He gritted his teeth, and his eyes darkened with a gloomy, pitch–black hue.

He grasped her hand firmly, and he smiled paranoidly, “Remember this, for when you’re old, my deeds for you will be the only things you recall.”

Those injuries would be gradually replaced.

Genevieve was so mad that she ended up laughing instead, “When I get old, I won’t remember you!”

Anthony smiled and said, “You will.”

Daniel saw that the atmosphere between them had finally eased. Then he asked, “Ms. Lawrence, where do you

live now?”

Genevieve said the name of the penthouse.

Daniel asked the driver to take them there.

With little thought, Genevieve could afford a dwelling here.

Anthony secretly remembered the name.

He was planning to buy one nearby to take care of her.

The car quickly pulled up to the gate of the penthouse.

Genevieve hadn’t gotten off yet.

Anthony saw a not–so–low–key extended Lincoln parked at the door.

Lucas was leaning against it.

Anthony’s eyes instantly became indifferent.

He lowered the window, and the two men’s eyes met.

Lucas nodded slightly and said, “Mr. Hoffman.”

“What are you doing here?”

Anthony was so disgusted with this man.

Lucas saw Genevieve sitting on the other side through him and smiled, “I’m here to pick up Ms. Lawrence.”

Lucas’s tone was calm, but his words hit Anthony like a ton of bricks.

He slammed the window and said flatly, “Let’s go.”

Genevieve was poised to open the door and step out of the car when it restarted.

She was momentarily stunned, exclaiming, “What are you doing? I haven’t even gotten off yet!”

Anthony had been steaming mad all night long! “Pick you up? Are you two living together?” asked him.

Genevieve quickly blinked, looking a bit sketchy, but she shook it off and said, “Yeah, I’m crashing at Professor Simpson’s house.”

Anthony stared at her furiously. ‘I’m so pissed off! She’s single now and free to live with whoever she chooses. It’s not my place to meddle.’ But at this thought, Anthony felt he could go crazy! He wished he had an AK in his hand, which made Lucas unhappy!

“Anthony!” Genevieve was getting a little antsy.

Anthony briefly shut his eyes and reopened them, a trace of helplessness lingering, “I’m starved. Shall we grab at midnight snack?”

He changed the subject and stalled for time.

How could he send her to another man’s house?

“No way!‘ he thought.

Genevieve was on the verge of saying no, but when she saw his tired face, she bit her tongue.

Each matter should be considered separately, and her resentment toward a specific issue was extremely definite and unambiguous.

But she knew Anthony had come for her, so she couldn’t refuse him.

If Anthony could find Jeffrey, she would make good use of it!

Genevieve kept a poker face and said, “After eating just now, I’m not feeling the munchies. What’s your snack craving?”

“What about you?” Anthony’s voice slowed down.

Genevieve paused, “You’re paying, or I’m paying?”

Anthony frowned and said, “My treat?”

“I want to go to that Michelin Haute Cuisine Restaurant opened by the royal chef for the royal family in Yowhayton.”

She had been here so long that she was not particular about food and drink.

Genevieve didn’t want to waste time on any other food if Anthony treated her and she accompanied him.

She’d go for something delicious.

The chef, Jaiden, at that restaurant, was the royal chef of Yowhayton, and reservations were booked up at least a year in advance.

Anthony glanced at her with a complicated expression.

It wasn’t very respectful to ask for the chef at the last minute.

He had meant to say something different, but impulsively, he said, “How about your treat?”

Genevieve immediately said, “Then I’m not hungry.”

Anthony appeared slightly helpless, realizing he had become the butt of the joke.

She didn’t even want to buy a meal for him!

Anthony looked at Daniel and said, “Arrange it.”

Daniel felt he had a big headache but still bit the bullet and made the call.

Fortunately, Jaiden hadn’t slept yet. He knew Anthony before and was willing to do the meal for him.

Otherwise, Anthony would punish Daniel if he couldn’t eat the meal.

Genevieve was deliberately making things difficult on purpose.

She didn’t expect that Anthony could do what he said.

Now, it was too late to regret it, so Genevieve had to go for the meal with Anthony.

The restaurant was closed, but it was open again for them.

They sat by the roadside, taking in the fresh air.

The damp ground still reflected a shallow and delicate pattern of light.

In a light brown cashmere coat, Genevieve exuded elegance and coolness as she sipped coffee and watched wild cats feast on breadcrumbs by the roadside.

Anthony sat opposite her, looking at her facial features with deep attachment.

Many people passed by. Some were couples embracing each other and walking sweetly, while others were groups of men and women dressed in a rock and roll style, heading towards a nightclub.

Anthony sipped coffee and chatted casually, “How long have you known that man?”

Genevieve was interrupted and frowned slightly, “Which man, are you mean your brother?”

“Bill Simpson? Bill always introduced me as his brother, which made me crazy!‘ Anthony thought.

Anthony didn’t know what to say and corrected her immediately.

“He is not my brother. He is my elder, Mr. Simpson!”

When Bill introduced Anthony as his brother, Anthony would add a “Mr. Simpson,” being afraid that others would misunderstand that they were peers.

The main reason was that Bill didn’t want Genevieve to think he was old!

Genevieve answered casually, “Just a few days ago, we met by chance.”

Anthony was slightly relieved.

She wasn’t acquainted with any members of the Simpson family, especially Lucas.

Anthony murmured, “Already living in his house after just knowing him a few days? Do you realize how treacherous people can be? You’re too gullible. You might even help him count the money if he sold you.”

Genevieve’s good mood was ruined.

Anthony thought, ‘Does he have a habit of lecturing people?‘

“We’re not close enough for a lecturing. If you want to do so, find someone else, please.” She retorted directly.

Her indignant look made Anthony’s face darkened with anger.

“Are you crashing on Lucas? Fall in love with him?” He spoke in a casual, dismissive manner.

Genevieve was silently seething and mentally bashing Anthony a thousand times over. She thought, ‘Is his mind filled with messy romantic relationships? I have said countless times that Lucas and I are just ordinary friends, but he continues speculating! Fine, then let him give me up completely.‘

“Yes, I have a crush on him!” She smiled and enumerated Lucas’s virtues, “Professor Simpson is erudite and highly skilled, holding a post–doctoral degree. He’s handsome and affluent, exuding elegance, gentleness, and soft–spoken demeanor. Most importantly, he’s irresistibly charming and handsome, exactly the type I admire.”

“That’s enough.”
