Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 539

Chapter 536

Huntley's expression stiffened, and he got to his feet slowly before narrowing his eyes at Juliana.

“Ms. Juliana, there are some things you should never joke about, for they'll bring you to ruin.”

Juliana swung her feet, and in turn, the swing she was on swayed with her movements.

“How do you know I was joking? Since you've found out that I've fallen for Zeke, you should know that anything's possible. It's not that weird for me to have had sex with him.”

To that, Huntley chuckled softly and said, “If you really had slept with him, you two wouldn't have subjected yourself to the mercy of fate like this, given how your temperaments are. Now that news of Ms. Gourd's pregnancy has spread throughout Hallsbay, it just proves that Zeke doesn't care about you at all. Ms. Juliana, you should stop lying to yourself. That man doesn't belong to you.”

Juliana jumped off the swing and strode toward Huntley. Sneering, she said, “If he doesn't belong to me, who does belong to me, then? You?”

Huntley reached out and wrapped an arm around her waist before flashing her a faint smile. “I could indeed become yours. All of me, from my body to my heart, can be yours.”

As he spoke, he stretched out a slender and defined finger before gently brushing it across Juliana's delicate lips, his movement sensual and ambiguous.

Juliana struggled against his touch for a moment, and when she realized that it didn't deter him, she growled, “Huntley, how dare you touch me! Are you trying to rebel?”

“Don't forget that we're now engaged, Ms. Juliana. It's only natural that I can't resist touching you, for the love I have for you is overflowing. Even if this gets out, people will only say that we're a young couple madly in love.”

Infuriated, Juliana grabbed his collar and gritted out, “Listen here, Huntley. You can take this as an official declaration of war. I'm going to take back everything that belongs to me.”

Huntley chuckled lightly. “Then I hope you can keep your wits about you, Ms. Juliana. Stop feeling sad over a man who's not worth it.”

“Of course.”

Meanwhile, in the guest room of the Shurmer residence, Steven, Waverly, Richard, and Genevieve could be seen surrounding a bed with joy on their faces.

Waverly held onto Shirley's hand and patted the back of her hand twice. Smiling, she said, “My dear child, you sure have a good constitution to be able to get pregnant after only doing it once with Zeke.”

After saying that, she turned to look at Genevieve, who was opposite her, and added, “Now that Shirley is carrying the Shurmer family's child, you can rest assured that we will protect her and not let her suffer any grievances.”

In response, Genevieve smiled, and with a hint of worry on her face, she sighed. “I'm sure the Shurmer family will treat Shirley well, and even if she's not your daughter-in-law, you will still spoil her as if she's one of your own. However, Zeke will be the one who will live with her for the rest of her life. If he doesn't marry her...”
