Chapter302

Maureen, still groggy, remained oblivious.

Exhaustion weighed her down, eyelids heavy as lead. Unable to stay upright, she leaned against Geoffrey.

Without hesitation, Geoffrey swept her up into his arms.

Resting against his broad back, Maureen surrendered to sleep. In her dreams, fire seemed to lick at her skin, a deep discomfort spreading through her limbs.

Alex watched Maureen drift off, his patience thinning. “Big brother,” he cut straight to the chase, “it’s time you returned what belongs to its rightful owner.”

“The one she loves… it was never you.”

A cold smile touched Geoffrey’s lips. “Her feelings matter little. I am her lawful husband. Blame yourself for pretending to be me in the first place.”

Turning to leave, he shot Alex a final warning: “Employ these underhanded tricks again, and I won’t hold back.”

As Geoffrey carried Maureen away, the warmth drained from Alex’s eyes.

He turned to head back, only to find Elizabeth standing silently a short distance behind him.

Alex’s expression shifted instantly. “Elizabeth? How long have you been there?”

Elizabeth tilted her head, puzzled. “I just arrived. Is something wrong?”

Alex didn’t press further, his voice flat. “Nothing. I’ll see you home.”


Before he could react, Elizabeth suddenly wrapped her arms around him from the front.

“Alex, we’re about to get engaged, let me sleep with you tonight.”

Alex gently pulled her hand away: “Elizabeth, I want to save the best for our wedding day.”

Elizabeth didn’t expect such a conservative man existed. Her hand dropped stiffly, but she felt happy inside: “Okay.”
