Chapter 165
Maureen had never imagined that Geoffrey, known to outsiders as the cold–faced CEO, could show such a shameless side.
She’d always assumed he simply didn’t care.
Geoffrey watched the woman beside him, contemplating how being with her long–term might just be worth it.
As dawn broke, she finally fell asleep.
The Sutton Family’s Thanksgiving celebration buzzed with its usual festive energy.
Relatives gathered as they did every year.
But unlike previous celebrations, Maureen had been brought back by Geoffrey this time.
Those privy to the situation already had fresh gossip material.
Whispers circulated about how Maureen might embarrass herself this year, or how she’d try to win others over.
“Can’t fathom why Geoffrey would want that kind of woman back. Good riddance when she left.”
“Exactly. Probably latched onto him again herself.”
་་
Outside, the festivities were in full swing.
Inside the bedroom:
Maureen woke with the sun high in the sky.
Rising, she spotted the evening gown laid out and extravagant jewelry placed nearby.
Her gaze flickered away instantly. She changed into her own clothes and headed downstairs.
Geoffrey waited in the foyer, his dark eyes registering surprise at her choice of attire.
