Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 636

Chapter 633 The Mother Of The Child So what if they don’t accept it? I can’t have my son call someone else his dad, can I?

Zeke narrowed his eyes and uttered in a deep voice, “I don't want to listen to your lecture. Since she's pregnant with my child, he has to return with me to the Shurmer residence.”

Bailey arched her brows at his response. With an amused smile, she said, “Only the child? What about the child's mother? Are you not going to accept her?”

Glaring at her, the former retorted, “What do you think? Are you saying I won't be able to take care of another woman?”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk...” Bailey clicked her tongue before saying, “I used to think you were a gentleman who was polite and warm back then. But now, it feels like you're more of a cold and aloof CEO.”

With a darkened face, Zeke answered, “I was being serious with you. Can you stop joking for a moment?”

Hearing that, the woman held back her smile and put on a solemn expression. “Zeke, the Shurmer family has already announced to the public about the arranged marriage with the Gourd family. Everyone knows about it now. I'm sure Julie had also gotten news of it. Now that she can't have you, how do you expect her to gain a foothold if she loses her right to be an heiress, too?”

Silence was the only response from Zeke.

At that, Bailey continued, “She adored you, pursued you, liked and loved you, yet never got a response from you toward the end. She could only return home with a broken heart. Then, she even heard that the eldest daughter of the Gourd family became pregnant, and you would soon get married to her. In such a situation, what else could Julie have done besides doing everything she could as the heiress of the Hoffman family?”

Zeke heaved a sigh. “I'm sorry. I wasn't considerate of her or thought about things from her point of view. You're right. Being the heiress is her greatest card right now. In such a situation, she can only desperately grasp the things that can ensure her safety, and having power means she will have a better life and not feel burdened by this world.”

“It's good that you thought things through, Zeke. Just wait for a while more. Let me handle whatever is happening in Hallsbay first. Then, we can go to the Hoffman family together. Though, you were right to say that the Shurmer family's descendants shouldn't live away from their family. They should return to the Shurmer residence and reclaim their position within it. When the time comes, we can bring Julie along too. You're a responsible man, so I trust you'll make the arrangements for her.”

Zeke's expression finally relaxed as he nodded and said, “Fine. Let's do what you say. We'll visit the Hoffman family when you're done with the matters in Hallsbay.”
