No Mercy, No Forgiveness

Chapter234

Hearing it now, she felt an unprecedented sadness and didn’t know how to comfort Ethan.

Just as she was struggling, Ethan grabbed Gareth’s hand beside him: “Mommy, can you let Uncle Gareth be my

dad?”

Maureen instantly went from sadness to embarrassment.

“Ethan, we can't do this...”

Before she could finish, Gareth picked up Ethan and went along with it: “Reenie, | finally got the chance to spend

twith him today, don’t make him sad.”

Ethan, seeing that Uncle Gareth was playing along, immediately cried out: “Wuwuwu Daddy, | missed you so

much, now Ethan finally has a dad too...”

“Sorry, Dad cback late.”

Gareth replied gently.

Maureen walked alongside, hearing this and feeling especially sad.

It was all her fault that the two children had never experienced a bit of fatherly love since they were little.

Steven hugged Gareth, calling him “Dad” while saying: “Dad, hold Mommy's hand quick, so neither Mommy nor |

will get lost.”

Gareth was slightly stunned, then glanced at Maureen-her face had flushed crimson.

Afraid Maureen might refuse, he immediately seized the chance and grabbed her hand.

The three walked through the snow, looking every bit like a family.

Maureen's palm grew clammy as Gareth held her hand.

Only when they reached the restaurant did he finally release it.

Ethan deliberately gave them privacy, asking the waiter to show him the restroom.

Once he left, Maureen immediately apologized:

“I'm really sorry. Ethan's never known a father’s love, so he acts this way.”

After all, Gareth was unmarried-being called “Dad” might upset anyone.

But Gareth simply shrugged.

“I actually like it.”

Maureen sighed in relief.

After discussing Ethan, Gareth’s thoughts drifted to yesterday: “Why didn’t you tellGeoffrey moved in?”

Instantly regretting his tone, he added silently-what right did he have to ask?

Maureen answered plainly, explaining how she'd threatened Geoffrey with fabricated infidelity to force a divorce,

and how Heather had blackmailed her.

“Infidelity with whom?”

Gareth seized the key point.

Maureen's ears flushed crimson.

“I never named anyone... but Geoffrey assumed it was you.”

Her hands clenched before her, nails digging into her palms.

Gareth couldn't help but smile. He picked up a glass of water and took a sip, his eyes sparkling.

“That's perfect. Today | can truly live up to that title.”

Maureen felt too embarrassed to continue the topic. She stood up: “Why hasn't Ethan cback from the

bathroom yet?

rn

go

look for him.”

Ethan had been hiding by the door. Seeing they'd stopped talking, he pretended to have just returned from the

restroom.

“Daddy, Mommy, I'm back!”

With the child around, the atmosphere becmuch livelier.

After dinner. Ethan insisted Maureen and Gareth take him to the arcade.

The arcade was filled with young couples and parents with children.

As soon as Ethan arrived, he spotted a couples’ contest with a giant teddy bear as the prize.

“Mommy, Daddy, | want that!”

Maureen looked over and saw it was a prize competition.

She handed Ethan to Gareth to hold, then said: “Okay, Mommy will go ask.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Ethan nodded eagerly.

Maureen walked over and asked the staff: “Excuse me, do you sell the giant teddy bear?”

“Sorry miss, this is for the contest only. Not for sale.”

Maureen pulled out a card and handed it over: “Ten thousand dollars. Will that work?”

The staff immediately took the card.

“I'll go ask the boss.

Meanwhile, Ethan was completely stunned.

His mommy was so clever-she actually knew how to use money?

No way, he couldn't let her win.

Ethan looked up at Gareth: “Uncle Gareth, do you want to win Mommy's heart?”

Gareth understood instantly.

Holding Ethan with one arm, he pulled out his phone and made a call.

“Acquire the underground arcade in Small Town at top speed. Remember to route the owner's calls directly to

me.”

Shortly after hanging up, an employee emerged from the back office, scratching his head while redialing.

The call connected straight to Gareth.

Gareth remained expressionless: “Not selling even for a hundred million. Tell her she must win it in the

competition.”

Minutes later, Maureen walked back helplessly, giving Ethan an apologetic look.

“Ethan, you can find giant teddy bears online everywhere. I'll buy you one there, okay?”

Ethan immediately started sniffling.

“Mommy, you don’t loveanymore. Other mommies and daddies help their kids win prizes, but you... | just

know | can’t be your real child. Only big brother is your real son, hoo...”

Maureen:

You two look exactly identical-how can you spout such nonsense?

Maureen knew Ethan loved to act spoiled, but he rarely threw unreasonable tantrums.

boo-

He was sick and in pain, finally found a doll he adored, yet couldn't get it-no wonder he felt wronged.

“Ethan, don’t cry. Let Mommy figure something out, okay?”
