Chapter91

Watching her retreating figure, Geoffrey hurled the gift box into the trash.

Maureen felt the scorching heat radiating from his body.

Geoffrey pressed his forehead against hers. “No.”

As Maureen shoved him, her hand accidentally brushed against something, making her jerk away.

Geoffrey groaned in discomfort.
