No Mercy No Forgiveness (Maureen) novel Chapter 304

Chapter304

Before leaving, Maureen looked at Noelle indifferently: “If I could choose, I wouldn’t want to be your daughter either.”

Having said that, she quickly walked away.

Noelle watched her retreating figure and silently clenched her fist.

At this moment, Elizabeth stepped forward: “Mom, what were you talking about?”

Noelle snapped out of it. The coldness in her eyes that was for Maureen was gone, replaced only by gentleness: “Nothing.”

“Mom, you don’t seem to like Maureen?”

Elizabeth was a bit curious. In this world, shouldn’t every biological mother love her daughter?

Her own mother, Barbara, though busy with affairs abroad, had said she would definitely come back for the engagement day.

She also mentioned that shares in the Zheng family business would be transferred to her in the future.

“Don’t bring her up. If it weren’t for her, I’d still be a famous dancer instead of having my career end like this,”

Noelle said coldly.

Elizabeth seemed to understand and didn’t press further.

Maureen arrived first. Stepping out of the car, she spotted Alex standing nearby.

His tall frame looked unnaturally pale, eyes as deep and gentle as Geoffrey’s.

“Finished all your shopping?

Did she give you any trouble?”

Maureen stood awkwardly, shaking her head. “No. Elizabeth and her mother are in the car

behind.”

Since Elizabeth was Alex’s fiancee, Maureen naturally wouldn’t speak ill of her in front of him.

Hearing Elizabeth hadn’t returned with them, Alex moved closer to Maureen.

He lowered his voice: “Reenie, if you regret it now… you can still tell me.”

His meaning was clear–if Maureen chose to be with him, he’d immediately break off his engagement to Elizabeth.

Maureen’s heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, she shook her head. “I don’t regret it.

“You and Elizabeth are good together, she’s quite outstanding…”

Maureen hadn’t finished speaking when Alex’s tall frame wavered slightly, collapsing toward her.

Maureen was startled, hastily steadying him.

“What’s wrong?”

Alex’s eyes were red at the corners, eyelids heavy: “My old problem’s flaring up. Can you hold me a bit longer?”

“Okay.”

Without overthinking, Maureen set down her bag and supported him with both hands.

Leaning against her shoulder, Alex caught her familiar scent and relaxed slightly.

“Remember?

Back when I carried you home, you said you’d marry me once you grew up.”

Maureen felt like a thorn pierced her heart.

She knew giving him hope now would only hurt him, so she kept her distance:

“I was young and foolish then.”

Alex swallowed the bitterness churning inside: “Yeah, I get it. Won’t take it seriously anymore.”

Hunched over, he rested quietly against Maureen’s slender shoulder, lips pressed tight.

Suddenly, he spotted someone taking photos behind a nearby tree and pulled Maureen into an embrace.

To outsiders, it looked like they were holding each other close.

Maureen helped Alex back to his place before returning home.

The moment she stepped into the living room, a chill enveloped her.

On such a freezing day, the heater hadn’t even been turned on.

Pulling her coat tighter, she entered to find Geoffrey sitting alone on the sofa, his handsome face icy cold.

Since his memory loss, she’d rarely seen him like this.

“Why isn’t the heater on? Aren’t you cold?”

Maureen asked.

Geoffrey turned toward her voice. “Full of fire. How could I be cold?”

His sarcastic tone deepened her confusion. “What do you mean?

Full of what fire?”

He hadn’t expected Maureen to still play dumb at this point.

Did she truly think him blind?

Without wasting words, he flung a stack of photos at her.

Pictures scattered across the floor–each showing Maureen and Alex locked in intimate embraces.

Though sightless, Geoffrey could hear perfectly. The photos? Meant for Maureen’s eyes alone.

Staring at the images, Maureen froze momentarily before fury ignited in her eyes.
