No Mercy No Forgiveness (Maureen) novel Chapter 226

Chapter226

Fresh snow blanketed the road, knee–deep drifts piled everywhere after the heavy snowfall.

“Reenie, I remember how you loved snow most when you were little,” Zoc murmured.

Maureen linked arms with her. “Mhm, because snow meant Christmas Holidays were coming. Holidays meant new clothes and good food.”

Zoe didn’t tell Maureen she’d always hated Christmas Season. One holiday long ago, Maureen had been taken back to the Ramirez Family and never returned.

Her misty eyes gazed into the distance as she released a heavy sigh.

“Reenie, I want to see you settled with someone before I go.”

Maureen froze mid–step, clutching her tightly. “Don’t say that! You’re not going anywhere. Never…”

Her voice cracked, the lie tasting bitter as Gareth’s words echoed in her mind.

The doctor said the elderly woman might not survive through this Christmas Season.

Zoe gently patted Maureen’s hand, letting the false comfort linger.

“I know. I still need to see Roy and Ethan grow up.

But first, I want to see my Reenie find someone who truly loves her.”

Zoe looked back toward home. “Geoffrey isn’t your right person. He’s like this now because he lost his memory and can’t see.

If he recovers his memory and sight, he’ll become just like before.”

“I know.”

Maureen nodded. “I won’t soften.”

“Mhm.”

Zoe gripped her hand tightly. “That Gareth boy is good. I can tell he likes you. If possible-”

Chapter226

Maureen cut her off, shaking her head.

“Mrs. Ingram. I don’t want to be with anyone now. Gareth’s wonderful, but I know I don’t love him.”

“I won’t marry someone I don’t love. That wouldn’t be fair to him either.”

Zoe choked up, unable to offer any more comfort.

Her Reenie was perfect in every way–except being too straightforward. Once she set her mind on something or someone, she never wavered. Never learned to be selfish just once.

They hadn’t walked far before Zoe felt tired. Maureen supported her as they headed back.

Neither noticed the elegantly dressed woman standing in the distant corner.

A young male assistant followed behind her.

He bent forward. “Madam, shall I ask Ms. Ramirez to come out?”

Noelle slowly shook her head. “No need.”

A daughter who called a nanny “Mom,” achieved nothing noteworthy, and had hearing impairment? She didn’t want such a child anyway.

Maureen had no idea her biological mother had specifically come to Small Town today and seen her living in that shabby brick house.

Noelle hadn’t contacted her either–she’d only sought Maureen out because of the eight billion dollars Attorney Thomas held.

Days earlier, Noelle had received a call from Andrea overseas, saying Maureen wasn’t dead and had returned to Karaville to collaborate with Corporate Giant.

So Noelle came back to the country. She’d thought Maureen would be different now, but instead found her divorcing Geoffrey in court, looking so down and out.
