By admin No Mercy, No Forgiveness Novel Ch 98
And I, for you, have kept my purity.
Andrea’s words had struck a nerve with Geoffrey, especially since she and Gareth already had a child.
Geoffrey stepped outside just in time to see Maureen talking with Lary.
Watching Larry walk away, Geoffrey strode toward Maureen with long, purposeful steps.
“Done with work?
Ready to head home?”
Maureen’s question was ordinary, but it carried a different weight in Geoffrey’s ears.
His stomach burned like fire, yet he kept his composure. “Mm.”
He studied Maureen intently. “Since when do you talk to Larry?”
Larry was the quiet type, rarely speaking even among friends.
Apart from his wife, Geoffrey had never seen him converse with another woman.
“He called me over first. We barely talked.”

Geoffrey asked nothing more.
Ile ushered her into the car and slid in beside her.
Maureen felt puzzled. He’d drunk so much–spiked drinks at that–how was he still so clear–headed?
Only Geoffrey knew how desperately he was holding back.
Irritably loosening his tie, he leaned against the seat, catching faint traces of Maureen’s scent drifting from her side.
Maureen gradually noticed something was off with him, realizing the drug’s aftereffects were kicking in. Spotting a sharp curve ahead, she deliberately collapsed onto Geoffrey, throwing her whole body against him.
The impact drew a muffled groan from Geoffrey.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
Maureen apologized while slowly getting up.
As the driver accelerated slightly, she pretended to lose her balance and tumbled against him again.
Geoffrey narrowed his eyes, watching the woman sprawled across his lap, his throat dry and scratchy. “Not intentional this time either?”
Maureen feigned surprise, hastily sitting up, her cheeks flushing crimson without warning.
Knowing she couldn’t rush things now, she explained, “My hand’s scraped raw, remember?

I accidentally pressed it just now, so…”
She trailed off and quickly looked away. “Sorry.”
Geoffrey noted her flustered expression, fighting the urge to dismiss
the driver.
But he held back.
No need to hurry–he hadn’t uncovered her motives yet.
After waiting four or five years already…….
They finally arrived at Pearl.
Geoffrey quickly got out and strode ahead.
Maureen watched his still–composed figure, reluctantly impressed. Despite his physical strain, he remained unmoved by her advances.
But she didn’t believe he could hold out all night.
Maureen quickened her pace, and after entering, she grabbed Geoffrey’s sleeve from behind.
“Geoffrey.”
Geoffrey turned to look at her.
Maureen slowly placed her hands on his arms, rose on tiptoe to kiss him, but the next second, the man gently pushed her away.
“Remember what you said to me after you came back?

Please respect yourself.”
With that, he hurried upstairs.
Soon after, Maureen heard the sound of water dripping in Geoffrey’s bathroom.
Maureen went upstairs, wanting to enter, but found his room door was locked.
She stood dazedly at the door, unable to move her feet.
Thinking of the message from Steven’s doctor, who said it’s best to conceive this year.
Otherwise, Steven’s condition won’t be optimistic.
But Geoffrey seemed to have found something, and now he always kept her at a distance; even if she wanted to, she couldn’t do anything.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious Maureen became.
Unable to vent her emotions, Maureen walked into a bar and ordered several drinks. Only when drunk could she briefly forget her troubles.
Meanwhile, Geoffrey had spent over an hour under a cold shower before the effects of the medication subsided slightly.
He stepped out in his bathrobe only to find Maureen absent.
His bodyguards informed him she’d gone out alone to a bar.
Inside the bar,
Chapter98
Maureen drank alone when a tall figure suddenly blocked the light before her.
Blinking hazily, she looked up into Geoffrey’s chiseled face.
“You came?”
Her words carried the sharp tang of alcohol.
Geoffrey frowned. “Since when do you drink?”
She used to get tipsy after one glass, yet now multiple empty cups
littered the counter.
Maureen hadn’t expected his question.
After a pause, she shrugged airily. “Around two years into our marriage, I suppose.”
Back when Geoffrey’s absence left her no choice but to drown her
sorrows.
Geoffrey’s throat tightened.
Only now did he realize how little he truly knew her.
He snatched her glass and flung it aside.
“Come on. Home.”
Home…
Maureen’s vision blurred with unshed tears.

The evening breeze felt chilly against her skin.
She staggered to her feet, ready to head out.
But before she could take more than a few steps, strong arms swept her off her feet. Suspended in air, she instinctively clutched Geoffrey’s forearm.
“Put me down. I can walk.”
Maureen’s heart raced with unease.
Ignoring her protest, Geoffrey strode forward with long strides, commanding: “No more drinking from now on.”
Nestled against his chest, Maureen neither heard clearly nor questioned nor replied.
