Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 1054

Chapter 1054 She Is Pregnant

Bailey glared at him.

That's not the reason I want to meet those embroiderers. Karina previously mentioned her cousin to me, so I want to find out more about her in advance. Because of Rainie, I've already offended Karina several times. It's hard to guarantee that that woman won't try to sabotage me secretly. I don't want to meet with unexpected failure. Prevention is always better than cure.

“I can embroider my own wedding dress, and if that doesn't work out, I can always buy one. It's not really about this. Stop asking so many questions. Just answer mine. When are those embroiderers coming to Hallsbay?”

After some thought, Zeke replied, “This was arranged by Mother. Maybe you should ask her.”

Bailey snorted twice.

Right now, Zeke is in charge of the entire Shurmer family. How could he not know about something related to my marriage? He's encouraging me to seek out Waverly simply to strengthen our mother-daughter bond. For this, he's indeed making every effort.

“Never mind. You carry on with your work, I'll go to... her.”

“Okay.”

After leaving the study, Bailey went straight downstairs.

The living room was empty, but the small kitchen was filled with tantalizing aromas.

She was a bit curious and headed straight for the kitchen.

“Ah, there you are, Bay. I was just about to have Sammy call you down.”

Waverly's voice echoed from the kitchen. The next moment, she emerged, carrying a plate of greasy smoked Eisbein.

“You're too thin. You need to eat some nourishing food. I'm just idling at home anyway, so starting today, I'll be responsible for your daily meals.”

After she finished speaking, she beckoned Bailey to the dining room.

With a faint smile, Bailey's eyes softened, the coldness and aloofness fading slightly.

This is my mother, my biological mother. Even though she caused me much pain, she ultimately expressed her remorse. For the mere fact that she gave me life, I shouldn't bear a grudge against her for a lifetime.

“Although I'm thin, I am in good health. Over the years, I've undergone a fair bit of training, so I have a solid foundation. If you have nothing else to do, why not spend some effort on Julie's health? She suffered a miscarriage and was later afflicted by toxins, leaving her frail. If you wish to become a grandmother sooner, you should take better care of her.”

The smile on Waverly's face faltered, and she nearly dropped the plate she was holding.

A surge of scalding sensation snapped her back from her somewhat drifting thoughts.

She quickly placed the plate on the table, her expression full of guilt. “It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so obsessed with being the perfect housewife, I wouldn't have hurt Julie. Don't worry. I've accepted her as my daughter-in-law. I will take good care of her. Her health needs attention, and so does yours.”

Seeing that her persuasion was ineffective, Bailey did not say anything further. She strolled over and sat down at the dining table.

“When are the embroiderers you've invited coming to Hallsbay?”

Waverly thought she was concerned about the wedding dress and quickly said, “They have arrived, but they have had a long journey, so I got Sammy to let them rest in the hotel. If you wish to see them, I can call the hotel manager now and get him to arrange for them to come over.”

Bailey waved her hand and said, “That won't be necessary. It's already dark out. Let's leave it until tomorrow.”

“Okay, okay,” Waverly responded joyfully before handing a fork to Bailey.

“Give it a taste and see if it suits your palate. If you don't like it, I can make something else for you tomorrow.”

Bailey was not picky about food. After accepting the fork, she stuffed a piece of pork shank into her mouth.

The oily and smooth texture spread between her teeth before sliding down the esophagus into the stomach.

Bailey subconsciously furrowed her brows.

Waverly assumed the other woman frowned because it did not suit her taste and quickly said, “If you don't like it, spit it out. Don't force yourself to eat it.”

Seeing the earnest look in her eyes, Bailey could not bear to disappoint her. So, she steeled herself and swallowed the pork shank.

The final result of forcing herself to swallow the food was a tumultuous upheaval in her stomach. Despite her strong will, she found it somewhat unbearable.
