Chapter 201 Genevieve almost didn’t recognize Goldie.
She took two steps back in shock. When she saw it clearly, her expression Instantly changed. “Goldie, where's your fur?” The chubby dog before her could hardly be considered a dog.
There was no hair on its body-not even on its head.
The glossy, golden coat it took pride in had been shaved clean.
Its sorrowful eyes were even adorned with two drops of tears.
Its plump little body twitched every now and then as it lay whimpering at her feet.
It wasn’t cute anymore but somewhat pitiful.
Genevieve was still stunned when Anthony walked in with a bag of things.
He stood tall and straight, looking quite intimidating and dignified. However, his expression was somewhat genial and tentative.
“You're up? Did you enjoy your breakfast?” he asked.
It was rare for Anthony to speak to her in such a gentle tone.
Genevieve looked at him for a while, still visibly upset.
“I told you to leave yesterday, but you didn’t. And you even bullied my dog?” she asked, her voice clear, cold, and hostile.
Anthony paused, then approached her casually with a warm smile as if nothing had happened.
He said, “Genevieve, things said during a fight shouldn't be taken seriously. You can’t just writeoff. | admit that the Anthony in the past has let you down, but | swear that won't ever happen again. I'm here. You can hit or scoldall you want, but please don’t break up with me.” 1/6 Emergency calls only u onlyOM Chapter 201 He grasped her wrist as though she were a priceless gem.
Anthony had swallowed his pride. He had never bent over backward for a woman before.
Genevieve was about to yank her hand out and slap him, but his phone suddenly rang.
He took it out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGenevieve's gaze swept over the non his phone.
It was Andrea.
09:30 In a flash, she changed her mind.
Of course, Anthony wouldn't answer his fiancée’s call in front of her.
He hung up the phone and put it aside. He noticed that Genevieve didn’t withdraw her hand. Her expression had eased as well.
Feeling somewhat relieved, he walked over and hugged her. She didn’t push him away.
“Genevieve, I'll treat you well. Could you put the past behind you?” he uttered.
Genevieve's eyes welled with tears. She looked up and held them in.
The next second, she wrapped her stiff arms around his waist and rubbed her chin against his shoulder. Trying to sound lighthearted, she said, “I'll trust you, just this once.” Her eyes were blurry with tears.
Her words were not sincere.
She had been hurt so deeply. She wasn’t going to make the smistake again.
‘Anthony, you brought this on yourself, she thought.
Anthony hugged her tighter, feeling incredibly happy.
Yesterday's gloom was swept away.
2/6 Emergency calls only Chapter 201 OM D 100% 09:311 He even felt a little excited.
He knew that she had been acting on impulse.
She wasn’t entirely without feelings for him.
As they hugged, Goldie appeared even more aggrieved.
It sat on the ground and looked at its owner in tears, indignant and disdainful at her perceived betrayal.
Anthony’s phone rang again.
He frowned slightly, irritation flashing across his eyes.
It was Andrea again.
Subconsciously, he glanced at Genevieve.
However, Genevieve was expressionless as she settled back on the dining chair and set Goldie on her lap. She stroked its nonexistent coat repeatedly.
Goldie was even more aggrieved, trembling in Genevieve’s arms.
The phone kept ringing.
Genevieve glanced at him, her eyes clear and warm, and said sweetly, “It's okay. Answer it. | won't make a sound. It might be something urgent.” Upon noticing Anthony’s somewhat darkened face, Genevieve stood up. “How about | step outside for a while?” Even though that was her home, she had to leave. For that, she cursed him out in her mind.
He should be the one leaving.
Regardless, on the surface, she appeared considerate and gracious, gentle and tolerant, arousing pity.
Anthony was upset as he looked at her.
It was unclear whether he was feeling guilty or frustrated.
Emergency calls only Chapter 201 He took a deep breath. He wanted to ask if it truly didn’t bother her. ‘Isn’t she angry? he thought.
However, they had just made up. He didn’t dare to say anything that might ruin it.
He gently touched her long hair, his gaze inscrutable.
“No, there's no need for that,” he said.
They had confirmed their relationship. It was simply a forbidden love affair.
No one else would know about them.
Of course, they couldn't tell anyone about the relationship.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGenevieve's reaction didn’t suggest that she wanted to make it public either.
Furthermore, she hadn't divorced.
It would be bad for her if word got around.
Anthony sat beside her, giving her a fried egg while accepting the call.
Andrea’s anxious voice cthrough. “Anthony, | heard that something happened to Lauraine, Is that true? Is she okay now? Have you found a suitable bone marrow donor?” Genevieve felt bad when she looked into Goldie’s tearful eyes. She decided to buy more dog food for it later.
When the twas right, she would avenge Goldie.
Though she seemed to be doing her own thing, she had heard everything.
After the barrage of questions, Andrea slowed when Anthony didn’t answer. “Anthony, did Genevieve refuse to help? | heard from my mom. She’s changed completely. It's like she’s lost her mind. If she says something ridiculous, don’t believe her. She's quite cunning...” Andrea had purposefully started her call by asking about Lauraine.
Eventually, she brought up Genevieve again.
Emergency calls onlyOM- Chapter 201 D 100% 09:31 ‘If she’s going to play the part of the saint, she should go all out. She changed the topic halfway through. Does she think Anthony is an idiot?’ Genevieve thought.
She glanced at Anthony.
Upon noticing her gaze, Anthony's cold face softened slightly. He reached out to hold her hand and gently pinched her palm twice.
It was like he was trying to soothe her.
Genevieve couldn't help but smile. Despite what Anthony had assumed, she wasn’t angry.
She could only withdraw her hand and start to eat the chowder.
Anthony interrupted Andrea’s chatter with a cold voice. “Do you know Genevieve well? Are you familiar with her?” Andrea stopped abruptly.
The silence lasted for a few seconds.
Even Genevieve could sense her apprehension.
Andrea paused and said cautiously, “I'm not familiar with her, of course. That's what | heard from Lauraine and the others. Has she visited you now that you're back?” Anthony breathed deeply and looked at Genevieve next to him. She’d nearly finished the chowder. She was that unconcerned.
‘She's not bothered at all!” Anthony thought, feeling a little annoyed. His patience with Andrea dwindled further until it was almost gone.
He loosened his collar and said impatiently, “That doesn’t concern you, Andrea. Keep your family in line, especially your mother. If you continue to use the Hoffman family nto act high and mighty, | won't hold back.” He hung up-right after that.
