Maureen looked at the little sticky rice ball at the door, her face flushed crimson again.
“N–nothing”
Ethan felt Maureen had been acting strange since last night.
He walked up: “Mommy, my brother and I saw what happened between you and Uncle Alex last night. Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone.”

Maureen: ”
“You saw?”
“Isn’t it just a kiss?”
“It’s fine, just think of it as a dog bite.”
Ethan comforted her.
Maureen felt utterly mortified the kids witnessed such a thing.
This must never happen again.
“Alright sweetie, go check if the dumplings are ready downstairs. Go eat some dumplings.”
“Mm–hmm.”
After Ethan left, Maureen slapped her flushed cheeks hard again.
Just then, a call came through.
Maureen picked up her phone and saw it was Heather.
“Come back to the family home with Geoff tonight for the holiday. I’ll send someone to pick you up.”
In the past, during holidays big and small, Maureen had to accompany Geoffrey back to the Sutton family’s old mansion.
On New Year’s Day, it was even more necessary to go back.

But this time, she didn’t want to go.
“I’m busy, I don’t have time. If Geoffrey wants to go, you can take him.”
Maureen hung up the phone directly.

On the other end. Heather looked at the hung–up phone, furious: “She’s getting more and more unruly. If it weren’t for Geofl’s amnesia, where would she get the chance to act so wild!”
A secretary nearby asked softly: “Then are we still picking up the eldest son?”
“Yes, Maureen doesn’t want to come, but Geoff must come. He is the eldest son of the Sutton family:”
Heather actually didn’t want Geoffrey to appear at tonight’s event either, since he was blind now and had amnesia, which would inevitably be embarrassing.
But Nicholas had specifically asked to see Geoffrey.
Nicholas hadn’t been involved in the company for years, but he still had many trusted aides in the company, not something Alex and she could contend with.
“But what if the eldest son doesn’t want to come?”
The secretary asked again.
“Then tie him up and bring him back. Can’t you handle one blind man?”
Heather said angrily.
The secretary immediately shut his mouth.
Small Town.
Maureen told Geoffrey about Heather calling to ask him to come back.
“Mommy, didn’t you say Uncle Alex was an orphan?”
Maureen choked up, patting his head. “He was abandoned.”
“Oh, so his mom wants him back now?”
“Something like that.”

Ethan turned to Geoffrey. “Mr. Geoffrey, since that’s the case, shouldn’t you hurry back to your
mom”
Stop trying to steal our mom.
He spoke with childlike innocence, voicing what everyone wished to say.
Geoffrey remained unruffled, replying to Ethan, “Only children go running to their mothers.”
Ethan instantly pouted, ready to retort.
Seeing their bicker escalate, Maureen quickly intervened.
“Alright, Ethan and Jacob, go change clothes. We’re heading out soon.”
“Geoffrey, you should change too and go home with your mother.‘
Geoffrey froze.
Abandoned again so soon?
“I’m not leaving.”

Ethan and Jacob had reached the staircase when Ethan huffed, “How shameless! Hmph!”
Geoffrey ignored the child, grabbing Maureen’s hand unabashedly. “Is this because last night-”
Before he finished, Maureen clamped her hand over his mouth.
Caregivers were still nearby.
The caregiver understood and immediately brought the dumplings to Zoe’s room.
Maureen slowly removed her hand: “Please don’t talk nonsense.”
“What I meant to say is, is it because last night I hit the child?”
Geoffrey added, “What are you thinking?”
