Chapter 142

He stood and hauled Maureen’s suitcase toward the door.

Maureen trailed behind him, stunned and bewildered

Only after the suitcase was in the trunk and they’d gotten in the car did Maureen realize Geoffrey planned to drive himself.

“It takes five or six hours to reach Small Town. Shouldn’t we let the driver take us?”

Maureen worried he didn’t know.

“No need.”

Geoffrey disliked having outsiders around when traveling alone with her.

Before leaving, he’d told Wayne not to call unless absolutely necessary.

On the way to Small Town, heavy rain was falling steadily.

Maureen sat in the passenger seat and inadvertently caught sight of Geoffrey’s handsome profile. Her breath hitched, but she quickly averted her gaze to look out the car window.

To be honest, before she had Geoffrey, she always felt he was hard to approach.

But now, she had touched every inch of him.

As the saying goes, no matter how cold and aloof a man is, once there’s physical intimacy between them, the relationship changes.

Geoffrey also noticed her looking at him. At the rest area, he took her hand

“I’m not used to you being so quiet.”

Maureen looked at him and heard him say, “You used to have endless things to say.

Hearing this, Maureen couldn’t help but smile bitterly
