Watching her retreating figure, Geoffrey hurled the gift box into the trash.

His empty stomach growled with pain, worsened by his cold.

He couldn’t exin why he’d thought of Maureen’s words during her amnesia act when a client gifted that luxury bracelet.

–“Let me make this clear: I love makeup, dazzling outfits, and precious jewels.”

What a fool he’d been!

Geoffrey sank onto the sofa, face stormy.

Maureen refused to indulge him tonight. She retreated alone to her room, preparing for bed.

Her doctor insisted on calm moods and early nights to prevent rpse.

Just yesterday, her hearing had faltered again.

Geoffrey waited roughly half an hour on the couch, listening until Maureen’s room fell silent. She truly didn’t care anymore.

Inside her room, Maureen swallowed her pills and drifted into sleep.

But before long, the locked door was opened with a key, and a tall figure stepped inside.

The man pulled back the quilt, hisrge hand dragging Maureen into his embrace, clutching her tight.

Breathing in Maureen’s familiar sweet scent, Geoffrey felt his physical difort ease slightly.

Maureen stirred awake, opening her eyes. In the pitch–dark room, she couldn’t make out the man and pushed against him.

Geoffrey only held her tighter.

“Don’t move. Let me hold you.”

His voice was low and raspy, clearly his cold had gotten worse.

“Let me go.”

Maureen felt the scorching heat radiating from his body.

Geoffrey pressed his forehead against hers. “No.”

As Maureen shoved him, her hand identally brushed against something, making her jerk away.

Geoffrey groaned in difort.

“I told you, stop squirming.”

His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.

Listening to his strong heartbeat, Maureen shrank inward, but the man’s long arm swiftly encircled her again.

wouldn’te.

He’d never been a gentleman. His palm began roaming freely.

Maureen instinctively recoiled. “What are you doing?”

“Don’t you want this?”

Geoffrey asked, “Aren’t you full of resentment?

Now’s your shot.”

Heat radiated from his entire body.

“I don’t need this kind of chance.”

Maureen shrank further inward until there was nowhere left to retreat.

“Toote.”

Geoffrey’s clothes had somehow vanished, torn away by his own

hands.

When he embraced her again, she felt everything–all of him.

Geoffrey gave her no room to resist, iming her lips in a dominant and fiery kiss.

Maureen trembled beneath him. She needed to conceive Geoffrey’s child quickly–to save Steven.

Seeing her subtle resistance, Geoffrey felt sourness bubbling up inside. “What? Is it me you refuse? Would Gareth be better?”

Crack!

His words were met with Maureen’s sharp p across his face.

The blownded heavily.

Even Maureen froze at her own action.

Geoffrey’s cheek burned. His brow furrowed slightly, yet he persisted

withoutment.

Maureen’s fingers dug into his shoulders involuntarily.

No inexperienced youth, Geoffrey sensed her difort instantly. His Adam’s apple bobbed.

Geoffrey didn’t stop, sneering: “Seems James doesn’t love you that much. How long has he been neglecting you?”

This really pissed Maureen off. She snapped back to reality and raised her hand to hit him again, but Geoffrey caught her wrist.

“Hit a nerve?”

Maureen didn’t bother exining. All these years, she and Gareth had just been regr friends.

“Guess you’re so desperate now because Andrea doesn’t love you either?”

Anyone can start a fight.

Geoffrey scoffed, “I’m nothing like you.”

He’d never touched Andrea.

Maureenughed, “What’s the difference? We’re both pathetic. You think you’re better than me?”

“I always thought you were devoted. Turns out you’re just like everyone else.”

“Does Andrea know what you’ve done?”

Geoffrey didn’t get angry. He didn’t answer, just pinned Maureen tight against his chest.

Maureen sank her teeth into his shoulder.

Geoffrey hissed in pain but didn’t let go, bending down to kiss her.

For years, he’d dreamed of this moment countless times.

Maureen froze, realizing anger wouldn’t help now–better seize the chance.

She stopped resisting.

In the pitch–ck darkness, Geoffrey couldn’t make out Maureen’s expression, yet he sensed a shift in her demeanor, sparking obvious confusion.

His voice came out hoarse: “You seem to be… ying along?”

Maureen’s pupils contracted.

The next second, Geoffrey stopped and flicked on the bedsidemp.

Maureen instinctively shielded herself.

His Adam’s apple bobbed.

“It’s not like I haven’t seen it before.”

He paused, then added, “Does Gareth know your body’s so responsive?

Hmm?”

Maureen froze, flushed with anger and embarrassment, staring at him in disbelief.

Had he been toying with her this whole time?

Geoffrey snapped back to his senses, nced at Maureen a few times, said nothing more, and headed to the bathroom for a long cold shower.

Later, he returned and pulled Maureen close again, sinking into a heavy sleep.

Maureeny wide awake, her mind racing not just from tonight’s events but Geoffrey’s words.
