Chapter246

Remembering how Geoffrey had once grabbed Ethan, Maureen clutched Jacob tighter and demanded

“Geoffrey, what did you do to my son?”

Cradled in Maureen’s arms, Jacob gradually calmed down, nestling closer against her.

Before Geoffrey could explain, Jacob blurted out: “When I went to pick up a package today, this bad uncle kidnapped me without warning and said he’d be my stepdad.”

Stepdad…

Maureen’s heart lurched.

Geoffrey didn’t deny it: “Reenie, I know he’s yours and Gareth’s child, so I brought him home.”

“We’ll live together from now on.”

After saying that, Geoffrey said to Jacob: “Jacob, if you’re unwilling, when you’re capable, you can kill me.”

“Now your mom is my wife, legally I’m your stepfather.”

Jacob…


Maureen belatedly realized Geoffrey had mistaken the person.

She hurriedly covered Jacob’s mouth, then told Geoffrey: “Ethan can be cared for by Gareth, no need to live with us.”

“Care?”

Geoffrey told Maureen about seeing Jacob alone on the street today.

“As a father, is this how he cares for children?”

In Maureen’s arms, Jacob – mouth covered – heard this, dark eyes swirling with complex emotions.
