Chapter122

July 9th, what could that day be?

“What day?” he asked.

He didn’t bother remembering dates other than important holidays or routine business matters.

Maureen’s throat tightened, and bitterness spread through her.

“Nothing, I was just asking offhand.”

Geoffrey was finding it harder and harder to fathom what she was thinking.

He also felt that she seemed to be drifting further and further away from him…

Under the moonlight.

Maureen looked up at the face she’d adored for half her life, her voice tight: “Mr. Sutton, didn’t we have an agreement?”

Geoffrey’s hand froze against her cheek, meeting her glistening eyes.

It seemed she might break into tears any second.

For some reason, bitterness welled in Geoffrey’s chest. He withdrew his hand, threw off the blanket, and strode out of the hospital room.

Wayne called Geoffrey back.

“Mr. Sutton, today is Ms. Ramirez’s birthday.”

Thankfully, he’d done some homework when Maureen married Geoffrey.

Otherwise, he’d never have known.

Geoffrey truly hadn’t remembered–hadn’t even crossed his mind.

No wonder Maureen had reacted that way last night.

Wayne noticed Geoffrey hadn’t responded and asked, “Mr. Sutton, shall we prepare a gift?”
