Chapter 202
Andrea didn’t dare to call back.
Genevieve finished the chowder then.
Goldie glared at Anthony with resentment from Genevieve’s lap. Tears flowed from its eyes, wetting its face.
Anthony looked at Genevieve and chuckled. “Are you not even a little angry?” he asked.
Genevieve paused for a while and looked at him, somewhat confused.
“Angry? Because she said I’ve lost my mind? You already gave her a hard time for that, didn’t you? Well done. I’m not angry now,” she explained dryly.
In truth, she was thinking, “Why should I be angry? It’d be weirder if Andrea said something nice about me.”
The thing that surprised her was Anthony’s tepid attitude toward Andrea.
He seemed to have no feelings for her. That would make things easier.
‘Well done? Did she only pay attention to what Andrea has said about her?‘ Anthony thought.
He pursed his lips and grinned. His mood had lifted.
Somewhat resigned, he looked at Genevieve and said in a husky and listless voice, “Genevieve, you’re so…“”
“Infuriating but lovable” was what he meant to say, but he didn’t.
Upon seeing his reaction, Genevieve had a startling realization.
She should be angry right then.
That was how vixens would act.
She had to deviate from her personal values.
She immediately latched onto his arm and huffed, “I’m angry!”

Anthony lowered his gaze and looked at her, amused. In a deep and pleasant voice, he asked softly, “Why are you
angry?”
Genevieve bit her lip and looked at him piteously with slightly reddened eyes. “Don’t answer her calls in front of me from now on. If she scolds me, you have to tell her off. You weren’t harsh enough!”
Anthony stared at her, his eyes brightening.
“She actually got upset?‘ he thought.
With a slight smile, he suddenly drew her onto his lap from his side, obviously pleased by her words.
“All right, I will,” he said.
He put his arms around her soft waist and patted her on the back, seemingly trying to comfort or apologize.
In truth, Genevieve’s heart
Alle tingly.
When he indulged her, her vanity and confidence were easily satiated.
With his affection, it felt as though she could do anything.
But then, she recalled being his wife and watching him and the homewrecker flirt.
When she anxiously called him in the past, did they mock her as they did then?
She had become that pretentious and seemingly innocent woman. Surprisingly, she could feel the pleasure brought about by that dubious victory.
Genevieve’s heart instantly sank.
She sneered self–deprecatingly.
She would never be distracted by such fleeting victories.
Anthony changed lovers frequently. It would be strange for her to believe in his sincerity.
She had to focus on the goal and disregard everything else.

Genevieve gently raised her head. She couldn’t help but ask, “Will you actually get married?”
Anthony was about to answer when she lowered her head and nuzzled against his heart. An electric sensation flowed through him.
“Forget it. I don’t want to know. I’m afraid I’ll be heartbroken,” she said, wondering if her acting was good.
She had never acted before, so she wasn’t sure if he could see right through her.
‘I have to get Emilio to give me some lessons. I need professional guidance!‘ she thought.
Nevertheless, Anthony gently raised her chin, his eyes deep and inscrutable.
He suppressed the surge of emotions in his chest, lowered his head, and kissed her.
His breaths were laced with caution.
‘We’ll get a better ending, right?” he thought.
Genevieve was slightly stunned as she looked at his well–defined jawline.
It was indescribably sexy to her.
She soon cooperated, looking dazed and restrained.
‘He can’t perform anyway. A kiss or two won’t hurt,‘ she thought.
Their breaths intertwined. The gentle kiss lasted for a long while.
Every second seemed to be stretched infinitely.
It was such a romantic and quiet morning.
However, Goldie jumped down from Genevieve’s lap discontentedly and started barking at them.
It sounded miserable and resentful, disrupting the tender moment.
Genevieve thought, ‘What a good dog! I’ll feed you an extra portion! That’s a must!‘

Having his kiss cut short, Anthony frowned and glared at Goldie.
He wanted to be angry, but he also felt that being angry at a dog was a waste of energy–especially when he was
in front of Genevieve.
He bent down and picked up Goldie, who was yowling.
Genevieve was shocked. While she was considering if she should snatch Goldie back, Anthony stroked the dog’s head and said gently, “You’re so beautiful, Goldie. Come on, call me ‘Dad.“”
Goldie shook its head, unwilling. It wanted to jump down, but Anthony held its weak body tightly in his arms. It couldn’t escape.
Pleased, Anthony glanced at Genevieve.
He said, “I know you don’t want to part with it. I can’t take allergy medication every time I come here. That’s too much trouble. Now, I will treat it as my own son. From now on, let me clean and shave it. We can all live together peacefully.”
In trying to figure out how to keep the dog and take care of his allergy, Anthony had come up with the worst idea.
The corners of Genevieve’s mouth twitched. She thought, ‘My poor Goldie! He’s such a jerk for bullying a dog!‘
Goldie’s dislike for him was apparent. It leveled its teary eyes at Genevieve while being forced to accept Anthony’s caress.
Genevieve felt bad for Goldie and took it back from Anthony.
She looked at the trembling Goldie, petting it as she said, “Good pup, I’ll dress you up in the prettiest clothes.”
At that, she stood up and left.
She was afraid she would curse him out if she stayed any longer.
Fortunately, Jasper had bought a lot of clothes for Goldie. They would come in useful then.
After donning a custom–made, dazzling dark grey coat and a Burberry scarf, the air Goldie gave off was entirely
different.

Goldie shook its body and moved to its eating spot, ready for its meal.
It was still quite upset, baring its teeth while glaring at Anthony, wanting to bite him.
Regardless, it didn’t dare to do so.
All it could do was eat and whine to Genevieve while shooting Anthony the occasional glare.
Genevieve’s heart melted.
Anthony had a simple meal. When he saw how clingy Goldie was to Genevieve, he was peeved.
It was time to go to work.
Anthony had already postponed an early meeting that morning.
He stood up with the phone in his hand and said, “I’m going to the office. Shall I give you a ride?”
Of course, Genevieve refused.
They would draw attention if they traveled together.
That she wouldn’t do.
“You can go first. I’m going shopping with Selene later,” she said.
Anthony paused and frowned. “Mr. Lawrence is being so lenient with his CEO these days?”
Genevieve chuckled and retorted gently, “If a business fails while its CEO is away, there must be a problem with
the organization.”
When they weren’t showing each other affection, they were combative and wouldn’t give in.
Genevieve was the type to conceal her ruthlessness beneath an unassuming facade..
Anthony couldn’t argue with that. After glancing at her, he left.
Genevieve finally relaxed.

She was exhausted after acting all day and night.
Fortunately, Anthony was impotent. It would be dangerous otherwise.
