My Flirtacious Husband (Genevieve and Armand) -
Chapter 373 Have You Ever Loved Me
Armand pointed at the chair on the other side of the table and waited until Marilyn sat down before he played a video for her.
It was the surveillance footage of the conversation she had with Genevieve the other day outside the building.
Armand paused the video at the part where Genevieve turned around to finish the conversation.
He looked up and right at Marilyn and asked placidly, "What did Genev say after she said about how long our relationship lasted? Why did she tell you to remember it well?" Genevieve had provoked Marilyn with her words and had spoken quickly, especially in the last part.
Armand had had a professional lip reader look at the video, but even then, the latter could only decipher the first and last parts. Everything in between was unknown.
Marilyn clenched her fists when she learned that was why Armand went to her.
It didn't take long before Marilyn looked up and right into his eyes. "She said that whenever she thought about our past relationship together, she would feel nauseated. It's the same feeling she had when she looked at your face. She also told me that she never loved you. The only reason she was with you was to exact her revenge against me, and she wanted me to remember that well."
Armand narrowed his eyes. "Despite her speed, there is no way she can say that much within that time frame."
Marilyn snorted. "If she truly loved you, would you really care about what she said back then? Armand..." She leaned in and worked hard to see through the man's exterior and replace the truth. "We've been together for years. H-Have you ever loved me?"
Armand played with the lighter in his hand and remained silent.
Marilyn stared at him for a while before she leaned back into her seat. Her lips curved into a self-mocking grin after that. "Of course not. You've never loved me. You've never asked me about me being with Samuel and have never been angry about that."
When they first started dating, Marilyn was proud and delighted because she didn't just attract a powerful in-law for her family; she also managed to get someone as amazing as Armand to fall for her. Unfortunately, she soon realized that Armand was boring.
He would never turn her down and would give her everything she wanted. He even attended every single one of her concerts when she was on tour.
Yet, it was undeniable that the way he looked at her was passionless.
One day, as she was performing at a concert, she shifted her view to Armand and caught him being absent-minded while watching her performance. It looked as though he was reminiscing about something. Armand's boring nature and the fact that Marilyn couldn't feel his love for her prompted her to turn to Samuel instead.
It wasn't until she saw the video Cooper gave her did she recall everything she went through when she was dating Armand. She thought about the way his eyes shone without love, and everything made sense at that moment.
She wasn't the one who was there for him fourteen years ago.
Hence, it was only natural that he wasn't in love with her.
The more Marilyn thought about it, the more upset she got. Her eyes turned bloodshot, and her gaze showed that she was burning with rage when she glared at Armand. "Do you realize how cruel you are, Armand? Why did you mess with me when you don't love me? I met you at the hospital and dated you for so long. Yet, you never loved me. I only dated Samuel to get you jealous, but what did you do in return? You weren't mad and watched as I married your brother!"
At the mention of the hospital, Armand was reminded of the time when he was blind.
It was a dark and daunting time for him.
Or at least it was until a girl moved into the ward next door. She would practice her violin on the balcony every day. Her performance wasn't perfect in any sense, but it was like a ray of light and it drove away the darkness in his heart.
Things had since changed. He now had a lot more burdens and someone to take care of. He no longer felt sad when he recalled that past.
Marilyn's accusation couldn't do anything to him. He remained as calm when he challenged, "Marilyn, think about it. What have you ever done for me when we were dating? And what did you get from me during that period? It's been years, and if it hadn't been for me and my brother, your useless brother would've caused Wood Group to go bankrupt ages ago. Marilyn... I've never owed you anything." Armand checked the watch on his wrist and realized that it was getting late. I have to go home and cook dinner.
He didn't bother continuing that conversation with Marilyn and stood up.
Marilyn watched as he left the room. Out of nowhere, she said, "You should go home and ask Genevieve what she was talking about in that video. If she refuses to tell you...”
Marilyn trailed off and sneered, "Well, let's just say that you're one unlucky sap."
