Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 540

Chapter 537

As Shirley bit her lip hard, tears welled up in her eyes.

Here we go again with seeing me only as a younger sister and being forced to marry me. Did my admiration and my efforts in pursuing him all these years mean nothing to him?

She was utterly heartbroken.

Initially, she thought he would be happy to hear she was carrying his child and would comfort her in his arms as they dreamt of their happy future together.

However, she did not expect that he would immediately tell her to abort the child if possible.

It's his child. Although it is a test tube baby, it is still our child, his flesh and blood. How could he be so cruel and take away his child's life?

“We can slowly build a love relationship. I will never get an abortion. Just give up on that, Zeke. If you refuse to marry me, I will not force you to, but I will keep the baby no matter what.”

Why did you sleep with me that night if you are not fond of me and even despise me? This is all your fault, but the baby and I are the ones who have to bear the consequences. What have I done to deserve this?

Zeke was stumped at the sight of her aggressive demeanor. As he knew he couldn't persuade her, he could only give up on the idea for now.

Once I become part of the Shurmer family, I will fulfill my duty as a wife. I don't mind that you don't love me as long as I can stay by your side and protect our child.”

Zeke was rendered speechless.

Meanwhile, Steven was sitting on the couch in the study and staring warmly at Zoey, who was in front of him.

“Zozo, tell me. How have I treated you all these years?”

Zoey's heart sank as she had a bad feeling.

She was not dumb and knew that Steven was implying something. However, as she could not fathom his intention at that moment, she dared not simply respond.

“You've treated me well, Dad. Everyone is envious of me for having such a great father. You are the person I respect most in this world.”

Steven nodded and suddenly changed the topic, saying frankly, “I see you have reconciled with your biological mother. That's good. She is your biological mother and loves you more than we do.”

Widening her eyes and staring at him in confusion, Zoey replied in a shaking voice, “D-Dad, what do you mean by that? Waverly is my mother, and I belong to the Shurmer family. What do you mean by my biological mo—”
