Genevieve’s words shattered his hope.
Louis sat down across from her. His aura was gentle yet dejected, and he looked tired.
It was the best few days for him too.
He stared at her and said gently, “Gen, I know this method is a bit extreme, but I can’t think of a better way to keep you here.”
“I don’t understand.” Genevieve couldn’t wrap her head around it and wondered, ‘How did we get to this point?”
“I want you to stay and be with me forever. I can give you everything I have as long as you stay.” Louis‘ voice was hoarse and calm, laced with a pleading tone.
Genevieve was stunned for a few seconds, staring at him. “The price is that I can only be with you, right? I even have to stay away from my family?”
She thought, ‘This is ridiculous! This kind of captivity isn’t love. He’s treating me like his property.”
Louis looked at her. “You can see them after a few years once everything settles down.”
He continued silently, ‘Just not now when you can still take back your feelings toward me at any moment.’
“A few years later?” Genevieve couldn’t help but chuckle.
She looked at him coldly. “Louis, is there even a point for us to be together like this?”
Louis‘ eyes darkened, and he said with absolution, “Of course, there is.”
He thought, ‘All these years, I only have feelings for Genevieve, so how is it pointless?”
Genevieve stood. “You won’t let me go back, right?”
Louis was silent.
Genevieve gritted her teeth. “Okay, but how long are you keeping me here?”
I
She looked up at the shining ceiling and uttered, “In a few days, I can jump from above.”

In a flash, Louis‘ head snapped to her, his gaze dark.
His heart raced, and his face paled.

After a long while, he stood up, walked over, held her hand cautiously, and compromised. “Okay, if you behave, I
won’t lock you here.”
She wasn’t some fancy bird he could keep locked up.
Genevieve was relieved at his promise and thought, ‘At least I got something.”
“You can call your parents but can’t leave,” he said. “Gen, the dispute between the Lawrence Group and Anthony has reached a climax, and everyone is eyeing it covetously. It’s a very unwise choice if the Lawrence family splits their attention to deal with me at such a time,” he analyzed, lining up the pros and cons for her to consider.
He knew Genevieve wouldn’t harm the Lawrence family’s interest.
She hated Anthony, while Lawrence Group was butting heads with the Hoffman family head–on in business. because their daughter fell into the sea.
The business world was no different than a battlefield.
If the Lawrence family knew Genevieve was in Louis‘ grasp, they would risk everything to save her.
Without a doubt, Anthony would take the opportunity to start something and wouldn’t show mercy.
Hence, the minute Louis finished speaking, the expression on Genevieve’s face stiffened, and her heart sank.
Louis‘ love was despicable.
He took out his phone and handed it to Genevieve.
She could contact her family but not leave, let alone give them useful clues.
Genevieve glimpsed at the phone, suppressing the surge of emotion in her chest.
After a few seconds of silence, she lowered her eyes and said quietly, “Okay, I’m not calling anymore.”
Her heart sank.
Darrell and Samantha would only be more anxious if she called but couldn’t go back.

Louis gave her a relieved glance.
He looked at her cautiously and sald, “Then can things go back to how they were before?”
Anticipation filled his eyes.
He wished she could love him as much as he loved her.

Genevieve looked at him quietly before smiling and saying, “Sure. As long as you don’t confine me.”
The melancholy in Louis‘ gentle eyes disappeared.
After that, they left the house together.
The servants breathed a sigh of relief.
As before, Genevieve clung to his arm in the car and rested her head gently on his shoulder.
Louis couldn’t help but smile.
The result was unexpectedly smooth.
His definition of freedom was either he or his people needed to be by her side at all times, but Genevieve didn’t
care about that.
She was glad just to be able to leave the house.
A few days later, Louis was having a meeting, while Genevieve waited in her office.
She occasionally ate snacks and desserts and chatted with Amelia to kill time.
She didn’t complain that it was boring.
However, the sight of her sitting alone was distressing to Louis.
Louis would feel uncomfortable whenever he finished a meeting and saw her sitting alone quietly.
The innocent and cheery Genevieve in his heart wasn’t like that.
Although she was smiling, the smile didn’t reach her eyes.
They had been working hard to get things back to how they were a few days ago.

However, when Genevieve returned to her room at the manor at night alone, she couldn’t keep her smile up. The
expression on her face was glacial.
She knew she would never find the man who taught her to feed pigeons in the park.
Meanwhile, at the Fallon Group, Louis finished his meeting and opened the door. Genevieve stood and asked with a smile, “Would you like some coffee?”
Recently, she learned how to make coffee from Amelia.
Louis paused as he sat there, taking her hand in his gently.
She didn’t refuse.
“I’ll ask someone to go shopping with you, so you can buy whatever you want,” he said.
Genevieve raised her eyebrow, her eyes lit up. “I’m using your card.”
Louis said with a gentle gaze, “Okay.”
He was more than happy to.
Before Amelia left, Louis called her into the office and said something.
As to what he said, Genevieve had no idea.
However, she took every victory she could for each phase from leaving the manor to stepping out of the office building.
Amelia was very thoughtful and considerate of her employer’s wife’s feelings.
Only splurging could prove a man’s dedication to his woman.
Thus, Amelia took Genevieve to a luxury goods store.
In the VIP room of the luxury goods store, a dozen shop assistants carefully held invaluable bags on display, letting their noble guests choose.
Genevieve glanced around and noticed one of the platinum bags, which caught her fancy.
After she glanced at the bag a few more times, a young lady in front scolded, “What are you looking at? Do you think you can afford it just by looking at it a few more times?”

Amelia panicked and quickly looked at Genevieve.
Genevieve smiled and didn’t respond. Instead, she asked Amelia to call Louis.
As soon as the call connected, Genevieve reached for the phone.

Her voice was soft as if acting cute. “It’s just a bag. It didn’t cross my mind to buy it, but this is the only color of the limited–edition series I’m missing, and it only costs a few tens of millions of dollars. I’m eligible for it but afraid that my mother will find out if I use my name.”
