Chapter 1096
At a five-star hotel in Marsingfill, Genevieve, who was feeling sleepy, received a video call from Armand.
She lay in her bed, half-raising her hands as she held her phone, struggling to open her eyes. On the other end of
the video call, Armand said nothing. It would seem that he was in his study as he looked at Genevieve with a hint of
amusement in his eyes.
After a long time, Genevieve was finally able to open her eyes and take a look at the time on her phone.
It was seven thirty in the morning at Lostaria.
At the thought of her disheveled hair and her groggy state, Genevieve immediately put down her phone and asked,
“It's one in the morning back home. Aren't you going to sleep, Mando?”
“I can't sleep. I miss you,” Armand uttered in a low voice. “Raise your phone. I want to look at you.”
He had been busy tending to his own matters back home, and it was the same for Genevieve in Lostaria. The two of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthem would occasionally text each other, and they seldom video called each other.
Thus, it had been some time since Armand last saw Genevieve.
“No. Let me wash up first,” Genevieve mumbled. She had stayed up late into the night to investigate. Hence, she
knew she looked like a mess.
After getting into the bathroom, Genevieve placed her phone on the counter. As she squeezed out some toothpaste
to brush her teeth, she asked, “How are the kids?”
“They're doing okay. Lucian's at the school playing with his friends. The nanny will take Asel out for a spin today.
Mandy misses you, and she keeps asking if she can call you.”
Genevieve missed them sorely as well. However, she was afraid that she might not have the heart to hang up the
call with them.
Genevieve washed her face and put on some light makeup before heading to the balcony outside her room to take
a seat. She'd only raised her phone and looked into the camera to chat with Armand then.
Armand stared at her for some time before he smiled and said, “Mrs. Faulkner looks pretty every single day.”
“Of course,” Genevieve replied with a smirk.
Then, she propped her chin and looked at the man on the screen. “Have you found out anything?”
Armand made an affirmative hum and said, “I went to Old Mr. Quinn's place yesterday and found the housekeeper
who was looking after the house. Her mother still has two photos of Ms. Quinn.”
Then, he picked up a photo on his desk and showed Genevieve.
After the camera focused on the photo, Genevieve noticed that the young couple in the photo was Silas and Mia,
and they appeared to be in a church.
Although neither of them was wearing wedding attire, there was a priest standing in between them, and it would
seem like they were holding a wedding ceremony.
Genevieve thought her mother was beautiful even through the camera. Mia kept her head low as she watched Silas
put a ring on her finger; her face beaming with a sweet smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe other photo was the newlywed couple kissing after exchanging their rings.
“Thirty years ago, photography was not as common. I've asked someone to investigate the year the film used was
produced and sold, and soon, I managed to track down who took these photos for Silas,” Armand explained.
Back then, Silas was already a famous man in Lostaria. After the photographer developed the photographs, not
only did Silas pay the man handsomely, but he also gave stern warnings to the photographer.
The photographer immediately disposed of everything and left Lostaria.
Other than the priest, the photographer was the only one who knew about Silas and Mia getting married in the
church. When Mia got back to the country, the priest had already passed away from sickness, and the
photographer was not in Lostaria.
Zephyr's mother might not even know about this. Hence, it was natural that Zephyr couldn't find out more about it.
After getting the photo from the housekeeper, Armand spent much effort digging around to uncover the well-kept
secret.
Genevieve's mind was in turmoil after seeing the photos and listening to Armand. “Zephyr is a few years older than
I am. Does that mean Silas was already married back then?”
