Chapter 78: Impostor
At the cinema, Genevieve sat beside Stefan, chewing her popcorn as they saw a RomCom which she had chosen for them.
The cinema wasn’t very full since it was still a weekday, and they had chosen the seat at the middle of the hall.
Although Stefan’s gaze was fixed on the screen but his mind somewhere else. He wasn’t following the story. Not really. Instead, his thoughts circled around the woman beside him— Genevieve and the relationship between her and Abigail.
It had to be the same Abigail, right? It couldn’t possibly be a coincidence. How could Jamal have been so lucky to just so easily end up meeting the girl he had done all he could do to find five years ago, if fate wasn’t involved? How come the two ladies he had ever loved were so closely related? And why did he need to do a DNA test? Was Genevieve not who she was claiming to be? Who then was she?
He glanced at her from the corner of his eye. She was sitting still, watching the romantic comedy unfold on the screen. Soft laughter rose from the audience as the main character tripped over her own feet and landed in the arms of her lover and Genevieve laughed too, but he noticed she was rubbing her arms slowly, like she was cold.
Stefan frowned. He looked down at his own jacket, then back at her. She didn’t have to be Dawn for him to be nice to her, right? He thought as he shrugged off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders without a word.
Genevieve turned to him, surprised. "Oh... you don’t have to."
Stefan raised a brow, and then she shook her head.
"Thank you."
Stefan simply nodded and turned back to the screen.
After a few moments, she spoke again, her voice light. "Are you enjoying the movie?" She asked, turning to look at him.
