“And… I’m not sure if Geoffrey’s kindness to her stems only from gratitude.”

Katherine understood: “Andrea’s been playing both sides all these years, surely because of Geoffrey.”

“She’s his first love too. Men never forget their first love. Just let it go. Once you’re pregnant, we’ll leave. Who cares if Geoffrey’s being deceived?”

Katherine secretly hoped Geoffrey would discover the truth at his proudest moment–realizing he’d been played for a fool by a woman, drowning in regret.

“Mm.”

After their talk, Maureen washed up and prepared to leave, only to find the Maybach parked at her doorstep.

Inside the car, Geoffrey sat in the back seat.

Last night, he’d sat in the car all night without getting a single call from Maureen.

Seeing Maureen walk out, he rolled down the window, exhaustion written across his face.

“Get in.”

Maureen thought he’d just returned to confront her, so she stayed put.

“Say what you need to say right here.”

Weariness shadowed Geoffrey’s features. “Two weeks left. We’ll keep trying.”

A flicker of surprise crossed Maureen’s eyes before she got in.

Geoffrey didn’t mention last night’s incident with Andrea. Maureen didn’t ask why he’d only just returned.

The driver started the engine.

“We’re heading to the old estate today.”
