Chapter223

Yet now, he pitifully finished carrot–laden congee and actually washed the bowl.

A man born with a silver spoon–washing dishes?

Maureen was composing in her room when Zoe came downstairs and saw the kitchen filled with bubbles.

Zoe was stunned, her eyes shimmering with tears as they reflected Geoffrey’s dignified figure.

He was rolling up his sleeves to wash dishes, the sink frothing with soap suds.

The only time Zoe had ever interacted with Geoffrey was five years ago, over a phone call.

During that call, she’d begged him to treat Maureen well.

But Geoffrey had been icily indifferent. His words still echoed in her mind.

He’d said: “What kind of life Maureen lives is none of my business!?”

“She deserves every bit of it!”

Recalling the past, Zoe felt no pity for Geoffrey whatsoever.

By his own words–he deserved this.

With shadows on her lungs, Zoe’s health had been fluctuating lately. Knowing her days were numbered, she just wanted to make the most of her last days with Maureen.


Hobbling into the kitchen, she said coldly:

“Mr. Sutton, if you feel wronged here, you should leave.

A modest home like ours isn’t suited for you.”

Hearing the aged voice, Geoffrey recognized Zoe–Maureen’s mother, his mother–in–law.

“If Reenie can live here, so can I.”
