He wouldn’t believe Maureen was dead until he saw it with his own eyes!

In the pitch–black night, Geoffrey stood frozen–faced, silently watching the fresh grave being dug open.

His heart leaped to his throat when a bodyguard finally stepped forward holding a cremation urn.

“Mr. Sutton.”

Geoffrey stood ramrod straight, his expression unreadable in the darkness.

“Take it back.”

During the return journey, Geoffrey remained eerily calm.

Normally transparent with his emotions, today nobody could tell whether he felt joy or sorrow.

Though sleep–deprived for days, he felt no drowsiness leaning against the headrest.

Geoffrey’s narrowed eyes gazed through the car window at Maureen’s childhood city, her face flooding his mind. while her voice seemed to echo:

“Geoff, will you hold me?

I’m so cold…”

“Geoff, would you grieve if I died?”

“Geoff… I always wanted you to be happy…”

His throat tightened inexplicably.

Nobody noticed the reflection of Geoffrey’s chiseled features in the window, his eyes faintly rimmed with red.

In this world, nobody truly needs anyone else.

After Geoffrey brought Maureen’s ashes home, everyone who knew her accepted she was gone.

The same conclusion emerged when they found Gareth.

After brief sighs of pity, everyone resumed their calm lives.

Only Geoffrey was different.

He did nothing but eat, sleep, and work at the company day and night.

Even retrieving Maureen’s belongings from Gareth’s place was left to Sean.
