No Mercy No Forgiveness (Maureen) novel Chapter 277

Chapter277

Geoffrey hadn’t expected such intensity: “Reenie, sparing the rod spoils the child. You can’t coddle Ethan just because he’s sickly.”

“Out in the real world, nobody’ll baby him!”

“People will just bully him more for being weak.”

Maureen realized her parenting approach was indeed flawed after hearing Geoffrey’s words.

She’d always been stricter with Jacob and more lenient with Ethan.

Maureen lowered her lashes, suddenly feeling inadequate–and wondering if the boys truly needed their father’s guidance…

As this thought crossed her mind, her calf abruptly cramped.

“Quick, help me sit down.”

Geoffrey immediately supported her onto the seat: “What’s wrong?”

“My leg’s cramping. It hurts.”

Maureen said.

“Let’s go to the hospital.”

Geoffrey moved to lift her.

Maureen shook her head: “No need, it’ll pass soon.”

Geoffrey scooped her up single–handedly while gripping her thigh.

Maureen tried to pull away, but the cramp left her helpless.

Geoffrey tightened his hold, voice dropping: “Stay still. I can’t see anything–no improper thoughts here.”

“But if you squirm, I might touch where I shouldn’t.”

Where he shouldn’t…

Maureen watched his hand resting on her thigh. Any higher and…

Maureen’s face flushed crimson instantly, freezing in place.

Her eyes darted nervously around the room.

The former storage space now gleamed in cool tones under Geoffrey’s renovation, appearing unexpectedly spacious.

His bedroom remained meticulously organized as ever–even pens stood aligned at the rightmost edge of the holder.

Gradually, her gaze drifted toward Geoffrey’s hands, tracing the scars etched across them.

“How did you get those glass cuts?”

The question escaped her lips before she could stop it.

Geoffrey tightened his embrace, breathing heavily against her hair as he inhaled her scent–their first closeness in years. “Can’t recall.”

Nobody would be that stupid to tell her.

If she learns my memories mostly returned, she’ll kick me out again.

Maureen sighed. “Pity. Did you forget your past work too?”

“What work?” Geoffrey feigned ignorance.

“Never mind.”

She recalled his piano playing that day, murmuring, “At least you remember music. Muscle memory, perhaps?”

Unnoticed by her, Geoffrey had closed the distance between them completely.

His tall nose bridge nearly touched her flushed earlobe.

“My leg’s fine now, thanks.”

When Maureen saw Geoffrey remain silent and her cramp subsided, she turned to leave–only for her lips to brush his cheek.

Geoffrey’s Adam’s apple bobbed as his blood seemed to freeze.

Maureen pulled back immediately, but a strong arm yanked her back into his embrace, his thin

Time stood still inside the room.

Geoffrey’s handsome face filled Maureen’s vision before she registered being lowered onto the

bed.

A faint fragrance enveloped her–she hadn’t expected his bed to smell so nice.

“Geoffrey, you-” Her protest died.

His mouth silenced hers.

Maureen’s mind went blank.

The air grew thin.

Temperatures diverged sharply between indoors and out.

As Maureen drifted in a haze, knocks echoed from the door.

“Mommy…”

“Mommy…”

Her children’s voices snapped her to reality.

She realized Geoffrey had stripped off half her clothes.

Grabbing the quilt, she rolled away.

Geoffrey felt the emptiness in his arms as knocking and shouts echoed at the door. Any trace of gentleness vanished from his voice. “Get lost!” he roared toward the entrance.

The two little ones nearly jumped out of their skins at the sudden shout.

Jacob, ever the braver, gripped Ethan’s hand. “Uncle Geoffrey, we’re looking for Mommy.”

After Grandma Yun fell asleep, the boys had discovered Maureen wasn’t in her room. Then they’d heard strange noises–like Mommy’s voice–coming from Geoffrey’s room.

Maureen couldn’t believe she’d somehow ended up in Geoffrey’s bed. Desperate to hide the situation, she urgently pinched his hand, praying he’d understand.

Geoffrey addressed the children. “She’s not here. Probably in the bathroom.”
