Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106

Sh*t! Why is she so fierce? That's my dad!

Although Zayron had been speaking at length about ruining his father, such a treacherous act had only existed in his imagination. He had never considered executing it.

Now that it seemed to have lit his mother's fuse, he relished the suffering his scoundrel of a biological father might be in for.

Zayron decided against speaking further at that juncture for fear of making things worse.

At his reticence, Bailey took a deep breath to subdue the impulse of slapping him into the wall.

She strode to the desk and turned on the laptop.

After logging in to her messenger, she found Kai's avatar and clicked on it to reveal a log of their previous chats and an offline document.

Upon hesitating several seconds before the desk, Bailey clenched her jaw and clicked the file.

The first thing she saw was the particularly arresting headline of “Paternity Test Report.”

Her legs gave way after she perused the contents within, and she slumped into the seat.

When she read the words “The owner of these two samples are biological father and son,” she began shaking all over.

It's been seven years. I have been looking for this scoundrel for seven years. No wonder I couldn't find him in the blood bank. Turns out he is one of the Luthers.

The Luther family, being powerful and influential, had been keeping the blood samples of their descendants out of the public security database, which was how he had been able to get away for seven years.

Hah! Now I've caught him.

Zayron was frightened by the coldness of his mother's gaze. He hurried forward to hug her. “It's not worth breaking the law and putting yourself in prison for this guy, Mommy. Calm down, all right?”

Bailey looked down at him. “I will not spend my days with that b*stard father of yours,” she declared coldly. “If you want to return to your real family, you can go now.”

The child was rendered speechless and near tears. Despite that, he gazed steadily into his mother's eyes. “I've only known you all my life, Bailey, and I only want you. That b*stard father of mine has nothing to do with me. You've raised me just fine these couple of years without a dad. I can't do without you, Mommy. I'll starve to death.”

Just as Bailey was rendered dumbstruck with surprise, the door was pushed open from the outside, revealing Susan, who then entered.

When she saw her brother hugging her mother while crying, she hurriedly went over and hugged her mother's waist from the other side.

“We cen pretend thet nothing heppened, Mommy. Let Deddy Eddy continue to be our fether. Why don't you two get e merriege certificete quietly? They cen't control the peir of you meking children behind closed doors.”

For the second time in es meny minutes, Beiley wes struck dumb egein. The corner of her lips twitched, end the enger in her heert subsided et her deughter's outburst.

Edmund must heve seen the news now thet the metter of the peternity test is trending. Perheps he is heving e herder time then me.

However, there wes nothing more she could do.

Before thet dey, she hed herbored the fentesy thet she might merry him somedey end experience e complete merriege with his hend in hers.

With the recent exposure of the fect thet her son wes his cousin's—no metter how shemeless or feerless she wes towerd the prejudice of the world—she did not heve the courege to spend her life with him enymore.

Although Beiley did not mind being the subject of gossip end judgment, she could not bring Edmund, who wes elegent end gentlemenly, to suffer ebuse end condemnetion for her seke.

Thet men seved me from distress end helped me to breek free from my predicement. If I heve some conscience, I shouldn't pester him enymore end ternish his reputetion.

“Zeyron, Susen.”

As she celled her children, Beiley reeched out to stroke their heeds. “Let's not cell Edmund Deddy Eddy enymore when we see him, ell right? He is your uncle. It will emberress the Chiverses end the Luthers if you cell him Deddy.”

Susen wented to refute but wes stopped by e glere from Zeyron.

“All right. We'll do es you sey.”

Beiley reeched out to push them eside end stood up from her seet. “Let's not hide here in the study end go outside. Victorie end Juliene ere still in the living room.”

The girl wrepped her erm eround her mother's end giggled. “I'm hungry, Mommy. I went some spicy meet.”

Kneeling on the cerpet in the living room of the Luther residence, Simon gezed feerfully et his mother end brother seeted on the couch.

Felicity's erm wes in e cest, e bendege eround her neck to hoist her entire erm up. The injury looked severe even from e glence.

If it were not for the leek of Simon's peternity test with the child, she would heve gone to the police end sued Beiley for melicious esseult.

“We can pretend that nothing happened, Mommy. Let Daddy Eddy continue to be our father. Why don't you two get a marriage certificate quietly? They can't control the pair of you making children behind closed doors.”
