Chapter303

Fortunately, the bed was spacious enough for her to sleep on the edge.

“Mmm.”

Curling up in the corner, Maureen drifted back into deep slumber.

The next morning, her alarm jolted her awake. She opened her eyes to find herself inexplicably nestled in Geoffrey’s arms.

Dawn had broken. Remembering she needed to help Alex prepare for the Engagement Party, Maureen didn’t dwell on it. She quickly freshened up and got ready.

Karaville’s older generation had many traditions for engagement celebrations, demanding a hands- on approach.

Though Maureen held no particular affection for the Sutton family, Alex had always treated her kindly. She wanted to ensure everything went smoothly.

Geoffrey had been awake for some time. Not wanting to embarrass her, he waited until she was downstairs before getting up.

As Maureen reached the foyer, Elizabeth approached with a honeyed smile: “I forgot to ask last night–should I call you sister or sister–in–law?”

Elizabeth’s eyes radiated arrogance: “After all, my stepmother is your birth mother.”

Maureen shot back without hesitation: “If you want to become the Sutton family’s second young mistress, you should call me sister–in–law.”

Elizabeth’s throat tightened.

Ever since witnessing Alex escort Maureen home last night, some primal instinct had made her detest the woman.


“I’d rather call you little sister, since I’m not married into the Sutton family yet.

Elizabeth stepped closer: “Little sister, I’ll need you to accompany me shopping for engagement items today.”

Were it not for Alex, Maureen wouldn’t have spared her a glance.
