Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374

Edmund's hand, which had been holding the cup, jolted slightly.

As he lowered his head, a trace of bitterness flashed across his eyes.

“Grandpa, is providing an heir for the family that important? Do I really have to deliver an heir for the Chivers family?”

Glen was bewildered upon hearing that.

As he finally made sense of Edmund's words, his face grew solemn. “It's not that we desperately want an heir, but at the very least, it's better if there's a woman who can keep you company and take care of you. Otherwise, how are you going to live the rest of your life? Eddy, some people are destined to come into your life for a brief moment, so you don't have to be so obsessed with them.”

A bitter smile played around Edmund's lips. In a hoarse voice, he replied, “But I have already fallen for her. Grandpa, you used to be deeply in love with Grandma too. There was a time when you even wanted to end your life for Grandma. You should understand the torture of being in love with someone.”

As he spoke, he suddenly rose to his feet and walked up to Glen. He dropped to his knees abruptly.

“Grandpa, I'm afraid I'll have to become the first unfilial child of the Chivers family.”

As a clever man, Glen understood what he meant.

However, there was nothing he could say at that point.

“Forget it. Get up first. Some things are destined by fate, and no one can change them. If God really wants the Chivers family to be heirless, there is nothing we can do anyway, right?”

Edmund lowered his head. After remaining silent for a while, he slowly got up. “The Chivers family still has other members. I'll pick one of my uncles' children in a few years and adopt him. Grandpa, don't worry. I won't let the Chivers family lineage end like this.”

Glen waved his hand.

His grandson had been in such distress. As the elder of the family, he couldn't bring himself to force his grandson.

“Your own path is still up to you. No matter what decision you make. I'll support you.”

Edmund was moved and had no idea what to say at that moment.

Edmund's hand, which had been holding the cup, jolted slightly.

Meanwhile, Zoey had locked herself in the bedroom of the Shurmer residence since the press conference, and no one could talk her out of it.

Looking at her dejected daughter in bed, Waverly couldn't help but say with a sigh, “I once thought you two were really destined to encounter each other. Otherwise, God wouldn't have sent you to save him at the most critical moment. But after learning that he has a connection with that girl from the Jefferson family and has three kids with her, I feel nothing but sorry for you. Zozo, he, perhaps, is not the right one for you. Y-You have to let him go.”

Zoey, who was in a daze, became agitated after hearing what her mother said. In a hoarse voice, she yelled, “Mom, are you refusing to take my side too? Are you telling me to return to Lostaria gloomily and become the laughingstock of the entire upper-class society?”

Waverly narrowed her eyes as she looked at her daughter. A moment of silence later, she responded in a deep voice, “Then what do you want to do? Artemis has publicly announced the identity of the three children and also mentioned that he would not marry anyone but Bailey. There are no secular taboos between them. Do you still think you can separate them after everything?”

Zoey merely pursed her lips without saying anything.

Her mother sounded like she was defending Bailey.

She has started to defend Bailey even though she's, up to this point, still unaware of who Bailey is. If she found out, that would be... No, I will never allow this to happen. That b*tch has stolen my man. I can't just sit back and watch her steal my identity as the heiress of the Shurmer family too.

“Mom, I...”

Waverly sat by the bed and held her daughter's wrist without giving her a chance to speak. She then urged, “Zozo, you're the lady and daughter of a prestigious family. Over the past few years, countless good-looking and talented men have come to the Shurmer residence to propose to you. Why are you ruining your life for a man who doesn't even like you?”

Meonwhile, Zoey hod locked herself in the bedroom of the Shurmer residence since the press conference, ond no one could tolk her out of it.
