No Mercy No Forgiveness (Maureen) novel Chapter 278

Chapter278

Ethan was absolutely furious.

He didn’t lower his voice, and Maureen heard it before reaching her room.

She looked over.

Knowing they couldn’t hide, Jacob and Ethan stepped out.

Ethan blurted out: “Mommy, how come you’re coming out of Uncle Geoffrey’s room?”

He was jealous–Mommy hadn’t kissed his cheeks in ages, yet she went to see that jerk.

“I… I…” Maureen stared into their wide eyes, scrambling for an excuse.

Just then, Geoffrey’s door swung open.

He emerged with a scowl: “We’re discussing important matters. Care to join?”

The two little ones wanted to ask what business happened at this hour.

Suddenly–CRASH!

A loud noise came from outside, like something falling from height.

Zoe shuffled out, rubbing her eyes: “Why aren’t you all asleep? What’s happening?”

Maureen flushed crimson, stammering: “We heard the noise too… came to check.”

“Let’s see then. Heavy snow probably broke something.”

Outside, they found a roadside tree’s trunk snapped clean through, its massive form blocking the road.

Jacob came up with a great idea to punish Geoffrey: “Grandma, the snow is so heavy, it broke a tree branch outside and blocked the road.”

“What if someone drives tomorrow, Alex? Aren’t you very strong?”

“Could you help move the branch away and do a good deed?”

“Good people get good rewards.”

Ethan also chimed in: “Yes, yes, uncle, you’re the best, surely you don’t want to see someone slip while driving, right?”

He thought to himself, once we’re out, freeze to death, freeze to death….

Geoffrey, already frustrated because the two little ones had ruined his plans, said directly: “I can, but I can’t see, you have to help me.”

Jacob and Ethan agreed in unison.

Maureen wanted to stand in for the two children, but then remembered what Geoffrey had said today.

She put thick clothes on the two children.

She also brought gloves for Geoffrey.

Then, she and Zoe watched as the two little ones directed Geoffrey to move and throw away the branches and shovel away the extra snow.

Zoe looked at the father and two sons not far away, thinking how Geoffrey was nothing like before these days, and couldn’t help saying: “Reenie, if he keeps being like this, you can be with him.”

“Ding–dong-!”

The European–style pendulum clock inside chimed.

Zoe turned, her weary eyes glancing over as she murmured, “Midnight already. I’m off to rest.”

“Alright.”

Maureen watched the elderly woman leave, her hand resting on her rounded belly. The earlier conversation left her unsettled.

Just days ago, Zoe had despised Geoffrey. How could her attitude shift so abruptly?

And now suggesting Maureen reconcile with Geoffrey?

Maureen’s gaze drifted toward Geoffrey playing with the children in the distance. She shook her head firmly.

No. She couldn’t repeat the past.

Geoffrey led the two children back indoors after clearing frozen branches and heavy snow from the path. Maureen immediately lit the fireplace to warm them.

“Get cleaned up with a hot bath, then straight to bed,” she said

Both children nodded.

They’d merely directed Geoffrey’s work outdoors, escaping the worst cold.

Geoffrey’s elegant hands, however, were bright red from the cold–though his expression remained unchanged. Here, he’d likely done more manual labor than in his entire life.

Recalling tonight’s events. Maureen avoided looking at him. Once the children warmed up, she hurried them to bathe and fetched fresh clothes.

Perhaps the prolonged cold had finally extinguished the fire in Geoffrey’s heart.

New Year’s Day.

Early in the morning, Maureen got up to prepare delicious food for the kids and then decorate the house.

In previous years living abroad, she always celebrated Christmas, but now she could finally celebrate New Year’s Day.
