No Mercy No Forgiveness (Maureen) novel Chapter 234

Chapter234

Hearing it now, she felt an unprecedented sadness and didn’t know how to comfort Ethan.

Just as she was struggling, Ethan grabbed Gareth’s hand beside him: “Mommy, can you let Uncle Gareth be my dad?”

Maureen instantly went from sadness to embarrassment.

“Ethan, we can’t do this…”

Before she could finish, Gareth picked up Ethan and went along with it: “Reenie, I finally got the chance to spend time with him today, don’t make him sad.”

Ethan, seeing that Uncle Gareth was playing along, immediately cried out: “Wuwuwu Daddy, I missed you so much, now Ethan finally has a dad too…”

“Sorry, Dad came back late.”

Gareth replied gently.

Maureen walked alongside, hearing this and feeling especially sad.

It was all her fault that the two children had never experienced a bit of fatherly love since they were little.

Steven hugged Gareth, calling him “Dad” while saying: “Dad, hold Mommy’s hand quick, so neither Mommy nor I will get lost.”

Gareth was slightly stunned, then glanced at Maureen–her face had flushed crimson.

Afraid Maureen might refuse, he immediately seized the chance and grabbed her hand.

The three walked through the snow, looking every bit like a family.

Maureen’s palm grew clammy as Gareth held her hand.

Only when they reached the restaurant did he finally release it.

Ethan deliberately gave them privacy, asking the waiter to show him the restroom.

Once he left, Maureen immediately apologized:

“I’m really sorry. Ethan’s never known a father’s love, so he acts this way.”

After all, Gareth was unmarried–being called “Dad” might upset anyone.

But Gareth simply shrugged.

“I actually like it.”

Maureen sighed in relief.

After discussing Ethan, Gareth’s thoughts drifted to yesterday: “Why didn’t you tell me Geoffrey moved in?”

Instantly regretting his tone, he added silently–what right did he have to ask?

Maureen answered plainly, explaining how she’d threatened Geoffrey with fabricated infidelity to force a divorce, and how Heather had blackmailed her.

“Infidelity with whom?”

Gareth seized the key point.

Maureen’s ears flushed crimson.

“I never named anyone… but Geoffrey assumed it was you.”

Her hands clenched before her, nails digging into her palms.

Gareth couldn’t help but smile. He picked up a glass of water and took a sip, his eyes sparkling.

“That’s perfect. Today I can truly live up to that title.”

Maureen felt too embarrassed to continue the topic. She stood up: “Why hasn’t Ethan come back from the bathroom yet?

I’ll

go

look for him.”

Ethan had been hiding by the door. Seeing they’d stopped talking, he pretended to have just returned from the restroom.

“Daddy, Mommy, I’m back!”

With the child around, the atmosphere became much livelier.

After dinner. Ethan insisted Maureen and Gareth take him to the arcade.

The arcade was filled with young couples and parents with children.

As soon as Ethan arrived, he spotted a couples‘ contest with a giant teddy bear as the prize.

“Mommy, Daddy, I want that!”

Maureen looked over and saw it was a prize competition.

She handed Ethan to Gareth to hold, then said: “Okay, Mommy will go ask.”

“Mm–hmm.”

Ethan nodded eagerly.

Maureen walked over and asked the staff: “Excuse me, do you sell the giant teddy bear?”

“Sorry miss, this is for the contest only. Not for sale.”

Maureen pulled out a card and handed it over: “Ten thousand dollars. Will that work?”

The staff immediately took the card.

“I’ll go ask the boss.

Meanwhile, Ethan was completely stunned.

His mommy was so clever–she actually knew how to use money?

No way, he couldn’t let her win.

Ethan looked up at Gareth: “Uncle Gareth, do you want to win Mommy’s heart?”

Gareth understood instantly.
