Chapter 165 Childlike Genevieve
Once the man was done, Genevieve dove into the pool, swimming as effortlessly as a fish in the ocean.
At times when she stuck her head out of the water, she saw Armand sitting in the rest area, speaking to
Steven while Patrick was beside them.
Genevieve waved at Patrick, asking him to get into the pool, but Patrick shook his head in refusal.
Some new hotel guests had arrived at the pool with a child clad in swimsuits, unaware that the outdoor
pool had been booked out.
A member of the hotel staff stopped them from entering. “My apologies, madam, the outdoor pool is
booked out for the day. We have an indoor pool on the twelfth floor—you may bring your child to play
there.”
“I paid to stay at this hotel, and you won’t even let my daughter swim?” the woman grumbled.
Politely, the staff member explained, “Madam, the outdoor pool has a charge as well; it just happens to
be booked out today. The gentleman who booked this pool has also booked out the indoor pool on the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttwelfth floor to let all other guests swim for free. You may go there if you wish.”
Hearing that the other pool was free of charge today, the woman relented and started to leave, but her
daughter refused to move.
The girl stared intently at the pool. “Mommy, this pool is huge! I wanna play in it.”
“But this pool is booked out. I can’t do anything about that…”
After doing two laps, Genevieve came up for air and noticed the staff member speaking to the woman.
The little girl holding onto the woman was dressed in a cute swimsuit, looking longingly in her direction
as though she badly wanted to play in the pool.
Pondering for a moment, Genevieve got out of the pool. Typing out her words, she showed the staff
member her screen that read: It’s okay. Let her in.
Genevieve waved at the girl, who immediately ran toward her.
These rich people are obnoxious! How can they book out the entire pool and bar others from entering?
Disgruntled at first, the woman perked up after she heard Genevieve’s offer. “So sorry for the bother. My
daughter just insists on playing here!”
Genevieve smiled at the woman and led the girl to the pool. After jumping in together, they raced each
other, enjoying themselves thoroughly.
Not long after, more guests brought their children to the pool. The children were adamant about staying
there after they saw Genevieve and the girl playing with water guns in the pool. They stood in their
places. Even the parents who were dragging them away were rendered helpless.
Genevieve decided to let the children in and instructed the staff member to allow entry to all children
after that.
Soon, the pool that was initially booked exclusively for Genevieve was filled with children. The children
splashed around with water guns in their hands, their laughter ringing throughout the space.
Too occupied with his matters, Armand failed to notice what was going on until he raised his head and
was met with a pool packed with children.
One of the children was chasing another around with a water gun and accidentally splashed a stream of
water onto Armand’s pants.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’m sorry, Sir!” After apologizing loudly, the child pulled a face at him and ran out of sight.
Feeling his temples throbbing, Armand reached for some tissues and dabbed at the water on his pants
while looking over at the pool.
He saw Genevieve playing with children of various ages, dodging attacks from their water guns and
splashing water back at them.
Genevieve threw her head back and laughed when the children were drenched, her expression bright
and childlike.
Putting a hand on his waist, Armand narrowed his eyes slightly and gazed at Genevieve.
A year ago, the car that was bringing Genevieve to her wedding crashed into his, and she hurriedly got
out of the car to apologize. As the car could no longer function, she bundled up her wedding gown and
set out to the church on foot. The wind caught in her hair as she looked back for a moment, and the
smile under her veil was bright and hopeful as if she was on top of the world.
Tonight he saw her smile again, even brighter than before, with a hint of childlike innocence as though
she had never grown up.
