Chapter 183
When Anthony and Genevieve arrived at the penthouse, he had no intention of leaving.
Genevieve glanced at him several times, but Anthony pretended not to notice.
“Let’s go upstairs,” he said.
Genevieve chuckled and nodded, leading him upstairs.
Goldie was already at home.
When Genevieve entered, Goldie rushed to the door, wagging its tail vigorously.
As soon as Genevievė saw it, she happily tossed aside the gift and picked it up. “Goldie, have you eaten?”
Goldie stuck out its tongue, excitedly looking at her. Although it couldn’t understand her words, it tried its best to please her.
Anthony, standing behind them, frowned at the scene.
The design of that place was unexpectedly simple, with touches of delicacy and warmth in the details, but the overall style appeared to be more masculine.
Anthony’s heart sank. “You live here?”
“Yes,” Genevieve replied casually.
Anthony pursed his lips. “Move in with me.”
They stayed at Clearfield Mansion together after getting married. It held many of their memories. She should be
familiar with it.
It was best for them to live at Clearfield Mansion together.
Genevieve couldn’t help but laugh. She walked over with Goldie in her arms leisurely. “Mr. Hoffman, please remember that I’m not divorced yet, and you have a fiancée. Surely you know what’ll happen if I live with you, right? Besides, I don’t want to see your family anymore. It’s best to prevent situations like last time from happening again.”
Bumping into Quincey early in the morning was the worst thing that could have happened to Genevieve.

Genevieve walked over, standing close to Anthony. Goldie jumped between them, occasionally brushing against Anthony’s clothes.
Genevieve tilted her head and smiled sweetly, her eyes seemingly only on Anthony. “Mr. Hoffman, our relationship is best kept secret. The moment it’s exposed, the contract will be immediately terminated.”
Anthony was agitated by her remarks.
She did it to protect herself, and it must remain a secret.
Genevieve did not want to be involved with him any further.
The best result was her reaching her goal and then calling it quits.
Meanwhile, Anthony’s expression darkened slightly.
The next moment, Genevieve suddenly embraced him, with Goldie squirming uncomfortably in between.
Genevieve’s warm and delicate body momentarily stiffened him. His eyes narrowed slightly as he lowered his gaze. “Mr. Hoffman, is that okay?” Genevieve asked coquettishly while looking up at him. Her lips were alluring. Her delicate smile and faint dimples made his heart flutter.
Anthony paused and narrowed his eyes.
He reached out to wrap his arm around her waist. His demeanor was forceful, and he didn’t restrain himself. He lowered his head and kissed her lips, savoring the sweetness.
The beast within him was about to break free from its cage.
Their breaths intertwined, and Anthony’s cold, refreshing scent drew Genevieve closer. Her body was becoming weaker, and she was nearly out of breath.
Suddenly, she came to her senses and pushed him away abruptly, her eyes filled with a seductive charm. “Do you agree or not?”
Anthony’s eyes darkened, and he responded subconsciously, “I agree.”
He was yearning for her.
With his other hand, he picked up the troublesome dog from her hands and casually put it onto the nearby
couch.
Goldie barked and attempted to jump back into Genevieve’s arms.

Anthony, who was used to having control, refused to be the one being controlled.

He wanted to continue their kiss, but Genevieve had already taken a step back, regaining her composure and coolness. “It’s getting late. Shouldn’t you head back now?”
Anthony furrowed his brows.
Genevieve smiled, her lips luscious and enticing. “You’re my lover. You have to listen to me.”
Anthony looked at her for a few seconds, casually lifting the corners of his lips in a smile.
Then, he sat down on the nearby couch, reverting to his previous demeanor.
However, there was a hint of refinement and laziness in his expression. “Genevieve, are you teasing me? Since we’re in this kind of relationship, why are you still playing hard to g
get?”
In the end, he was still a businessman who refused to suffer losses.
Anthony stared at her directly.
Genevieve walked over to the opposite side and lazily sat on the couch. “Anthony, you might be interested in me, but I’m not interested in you anymore. You have to give me time to rekindle my interest in you, okay?”
Anthony looked down and remembered what Daniel had said about their past.
Indeed, those were not pleasant recollections for Genevieve.
It was apparent that he was way more into her than she was into him now.
*He raised his head to look at her. He remained calm, his voice low and husky, with a hint of indulgence in his
eyes. “Okay. Being a couple is better than just being lovers. Genevieve, I hope you will become interested in me
as soon as possible.”
Being a lover put him at a disadvantage.
He yearned for her, but at the same time, he wished he was the only man she had.
Even though he could see through her deliberate teasing, he was still willing to take the bait.
Genevieve raised an eyebrow, knowing he understood her meaning.
She had faith in Anthony’s character.

She stood up and walked to the kitchen. “I’m hungry. Do as you wish.”
Her implication was that she wanted him to leave.

Anthony watched her back. He didn’t want to leave, but now he had no choice, as the dog’s fur had brushed against him.
He was allergic to dogs.
Anthony stood up and cast a thoughtful glance at her back, his gaze tinged with curiosity and warmth. “Genevieve, contact me if you need anything.”
Originally, he wanted to tell her that she could call him whenever she wanted, but he restrained himself.
Genevieve ran out of the kitchen, smiling gently as she hugged him. “Take care on your way. Goodbye.”
It was a typical farewell, and there was nothing he could complain about.
Genevieve’s actions were neither heartfelt nor perfunctory, but they were flawlessly executed.
Anthony smiled and turned to leave.
He reached for the beads on his wrist, feeling a sense of fulfillment.
As he departed, he noticed that the unease in his heart had subsided. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
He couldn’t help but wonder why he had divorced her in the first place.
He began to think that his pre–amnesia self was foolish.
When Genevieve watched his car leave, she recalled seeing small red spots on his neck.
‘So it’s true that he is allergic to dog fur,‘ she commented inwardly.
Genevieve hugged Goldie and clicked her tongue. “Goldie, you have the most beautiful fur in the world. That man doesn’t know how to appreciate you.”
Goldie happily wagged its tail as if it were agreeing with her.
Sitting on the couch, Genevieve took out her phone and messaged Jasper. [Who’s TuringTech Innovations‘
owner now?]

She was worried that Anthony had already acquired TuringTech Innovations.

Jasper replied: (Ms. Lawrence, TuringTech Innovations has been acquired by a mysterious individual. It appears that the purchase contract was signed before Johnson’s incident. Both Ms. Sanders and Mr. Hoffman were looking for the buyer a while ago.]
‘Good. If I can’t have it, then nobody else should either!‘ Genevieve remarked mentally.
