Maureen was stunned for a second. She couldn’t decide whether to nod or refuse, and felt too awkward to do either.

“It’s okay, I’m used to it…”

Before she could finish, Geoffrey pulled her into his arms. “Some things and people, you can’t indulge.”

Her face pressed against his chest, she could clearly hear his heartbeat.

Her breath hitched slightly, but she didn’t push Geoffrey away.

“I’m really fine.”

Geoffrey, pleased that she didn’t reject him, leaned down to kiss her.

But before the kiss could land, Ethan’s untimely voice came from the second floor.

“Alex, Mommy, what are you doing?”

Maureen and Geoffrey immediately pulled apart, both looking awkward.

“Ethan, why’d you come out?”

Maureen’s face burned.

Ethan was no naive child–he knew that scumbag dad was trying to hit on Mom again.

If Mom got fooled by him once more…


Ethan walked downstairs. “It’s boring upstairs. Uncle Geoffrey, wanna play outside with me?”

“But it’s so late…” Maureen hadn’t finished speaking when Geoffrey cut in, “Fine.”

As a man, how could he not sense Ethan’s hostility?

Geoffrey couldn’t stand the little brat, but he was Maureen’s flesh and blood. Keeping Maureen meant keeping him.

Otherwise, he’d have tossed both kids into the river as fish food long ago.
