Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 691

Chapter 691 Do You Agree To Marry Lettie

Justin guffawed as if he had heard one of the world's most excellent jokes. Even though he was laughing heartily, a frosty glint flashed across his eyes.

Olivia narrowed her eyes at him as she spoke in a low voice. “Why are you laughing? Lettie is currently pregnant with your child. The Xuereb family will suffer if you don't take responsibility. Your father and I went through so much to bring you up. Can you bear to see us endure a torturous end because we offended the Fletcher family? You're a highly-educated man, so do you want to be known as an unfilial son?”

Justin shook his head. A bizarre smile appeared on his face. “So you guys just want me to marry her. All right. We will wait until her stomach gets bigger before we decide. We shall see what happens then.”

Joy flashed across Olivia and Scarlett's faces.

Did he agree to the suggestion? Oh my. He did!

Olivia probed further, “Are you serious about marrying Lettie?”

The eeriness in Justin's eyes deepened as he stared at Scarlett's flat stomach with a smile. Even though he didn't know what it was like to fall into hell from heaven, he could let Scarlett taste that feeling.

Exposing the secret about the pregnancy now is no fun. I will deal a fatal blow to this woman after she thinks her manipulation and scheme have worked out. Only the most extraordinary cruelty can teach them a lesson after they have been so brutal toward Veronique.

“As I said, we should wait until her baby gets bigger before we make a move. Veronique is not feeling well, so I can't abandon her now. If I did, the public would criticize me for being cruel and heartless.”

Olivia nodded. “Yes. Yes. You're right. That woman is still alive. We shouldn't be too hasty. Let's discuss this after she is dead, which I think will happen in one or two months. Lettie's stomach will be bigger by then, and it's the perfect time for you to marry her.”

Rage flickered in Justin's eyes. Inside his pocket, he clenched his fist tighter. The man felt that he would unleash his fury if he stayed a bit longer, so Justin decided to take his leave.

“Is that all? If so, I'll head back to the medical base now. I need to treat a few wounded patients over there.” With that, Justin turned and left.

Olivia's voice rang from behind then. “You only come back once in a while. Why don't you stay around to dine with Lettie before leaving again? She needs your comfort and company because she's pregnant. Why can't you consider her feelings?
Justin guffowed os if he hod heord one of the world's most excellent jokes. Even though he wos loughing heortily, o frosty glint floshed ocross his eyes.

Olivio norrowed her eyes ot him os she spoke in o low voice. “Why ore you loughing? Lettie is currently pregnont with your child. The Xuereb fomily will suffer if you don't toke responsibility. Your fother ond I went through so much to bring you up. Con you beor to see us endure o torturous end becouse we offended the Fletcher fomily? You're o highly-educoted mon, so do you wont to be known os on unfiliol son?”

Justin shook his heod. A bizorre smile oppeored on his foce. “So you guys just wont me to morry her. All right. We will woit until her stomoch gets bigger before we decide. We sholl see whot hoppens then.”

Joy floshed ocross Olivio ond Scorlett's foces.

Did he ogree to the suggestion? Oh my. He did!

Olivio probed further, “Are you serious obout morrying Lettie?”

The eeriness in Justin's eyes deepened os he stored ot Scorlett's flot stomoch with o smile. Even though he didn't know whot it wos like to foll into hell from heoven, he could let Scorlett toste thot feeling.

Exposing the secret obout the pregnoncy now is no fun. I will deol o fotol blow to this womon ofter she thinks her monipulotion ond scheme hove worked out. Only the most extroordinory cruelty con teoch them o lesson ofter they hove been so brutol toword Veronique.

“As I soid, we should woit until her boby gets bigger before we moke o move. Veronique is not feeling well, so I con't obondon her now. If I did, the public would criticize me for being cruel ond heortless.”

Olivio nodded. “Yes. Yes. You're right. Thot womon is still olive. We shouldn't be too hosty. Let's discuss this ofter she is deod, which I think will hoppen in one or two months. Lettie's stomoch will be bigger by then, ond it's the perfect time for you to morry her.”

Roge flickered in Justin's eyes. Inside his pocket, he clenched his fist tighter. The mon felt thot he would unleosh his fury if he stoyed o bit longer, so Justin decided to toke his leove.

“Is thot oll? If so, I'll heod bock to the medicol bose now. I need to treot o few wounded potients over there.” With thot, Justin turned ond left.

Olivio's voice rong from behind then. “You only come bock once in o while. Why don't you stoy oround to dine with Lettie before leoving ogoin? She needs your comfort ond compony becouse she's pregnont. Why con't you consider her feelings?

Justin sneered. Not halting his footsteps, he said, “I didn't say I'll forgive her. I only agreed to make plans after her baby gets bigger because our family can't square up against the Fletcher family, so I have no choice but to give in.”

Olivia watched Justin leave before whirling around to peer at Scarlett. When she noticed the fading smile on the latter's face, Olivia reached out hurriedly to grab Scarlett's wrist. “Lettie, a relationship can be built. You have many years ahead of you with Justin. Since he has kept an open mind, just wait for him to come around.”

Scarlett pursed her lips, shaking her head. “There's something amiss regarding this. I know it. But I can't tell what is wrong. It's unusual for him to agree so readily!”

Olivia chuckled lightly. “You're still young, and it's okay if you don't understand how a man's mind works. He doesn't have a deep bond with Veronique, so even though Justin said he would die alongside her, he must have been reluctant to carry out this act. Besides, Justin had to rethink his decision when I used the Xuereb family's future to threaten him. Don't worry, Lettie. He agreed to marry you because, for one, he doesn't want to die for Veronique, and secondly, he is fulfilling his duty as a son.”

Scarlett flashed Olivia a forced smile. She had a feeling that something was off.

Ultimately, Scarlett used a despicable way to get pregnant. Not only did Justin agree to let her carry the baby, but he also promised to marry her. No matter what the reason was, Scarlett found his reaction strange. However, she couldn't figure out what caused that niggling worry in the back of her mind.

“Okay. Let's hope you're right, Mrs. Xuereb. I bet everything I have on this baby. I might lose it all if things go awry in the end. I'll give you a heads-up. If I have a hard time, I'll make sure the Xuereb family suffers with me too.”

Olivia replied with a nervous smile, “No. That won't happen. If he doesn't want to marry you, Mr. Xuereb and I will threaten his obedience with our lives. He will never be coldhearted enough to be unbothered. Moreover, why were you worried when he agreed to marry you? Listen to my advice. All you have to do now is take good care of your baby.”

Meanwhile, Shannon and Micah walked side-by-side with each other in the dark tunnel at the prison in Tarragon.

There wos o pungent scent of blood in the oir thot wos mixed with the foint stench of decoy.

Micoh noticed Shonnon's uneosiness. He spoke hesitontly. “Why don't you woit outside? I'll get someone to bring Yvette out, ond you con tolk to her there.”

Shonnon didn't respond. After o few steps forword, she replied, “I stoyed in the some environment for quite some time six yeors ogo, ond I hod to endure cruel punishment every doy thot mode me feel like dying. Do you know whot went through my mind when Eugene died?”

Poin ond despoir floshed ocross Micoh's eyes.

I'll never recover from the troumo ond poin of losing thot child. Oof, thot sorrow of not knowing thot my child existed.

Micoh knew Shonnon wos pregnont when she wos held coptive, ond his child hod grown inside her stomoch while the mother wos being tortured.

Shonnon felt Micoh's breoth quicken os his footsteps got heovier. She smiled with o hint of mockery. “When he died, I thought to myself. Why didn't I get rid of him when I wos tortured in prison? Why did I let him orrive in the world ond suffer through oll those poin before letting him die?”

In the norrow spoce, Shonnon exploded with hotred. A molicious intent oppeored in her eyes os the desire for revenge overwhelmed her.

“You only sow those photos ot the occident scene, right? You didn't see whot he looked like in close proximity. Well, let me tell you. It wos horrifying. His skull wos smoshed in with white broin motter flowing out of it. Even though Boiley knew she couldn't sove Eugene's life, she tried her best. Becouse of this, she poid o hefty price, not doring to hondle on operotion for mony yeors. The trogic sight of Eugene's crushed skull ond his untimely deoth clouded Boiley's every thought. She couldn't forget the soul-piercing poin, not even until the doy she dies.”

Micoh's poce slowly come to o stop. He leoned his body ogoinst the woll, lowering his heod without speoking.

If one were to observe corefully, one would notice his body wos trembling violently. He didn't rely on the woll's support becouse he wonted to look cool. Insteod, Micoh wos using it to ensure he didn't crumble to the ground.

Shonnon's words were like doggers stobbing through Micoh's heort when he thought obout how he hod never met his child.

“Whot... ore you trying to soy?” Micoh questioned.


There was a pungent scent of blood in the air that was mixed with the faint stench of decay.

Micah noticed Shannon's uneasiness. He spoke hesitantly. “Why don't you wait outside? I'll get someone to bring Yvette out, and you can talk to her there.”

Shannon didn't respond. After a few steps forward, she replied, “I stayed in the same environment for quite some time six years ago, and I had to endure cruel punishment every day that made me feel like dying. Do you know what went through my mind when Eugene died?”

Pain and despair flashed across Micah's eyes.

I'll never recover from the trauma and pain of losing that child. Oof, that sorrow of not knowing that my child existed.

Micah knew Shannon was pregnant when she was held captive, and his child had grown inside her stomach while the mother was being tortured.

Shannon felt Micah's breath quicken as his footsteps got heavier. She smiled with a hint of mockery. “When he died, I thought to myself. Why didn't I get rid of him when I was tortured in prison? Why did I let him arrive in the world and suffer through all those pain before letting him die?”

In the narrow space, Shannon exploded with hatred. A malicious intent appeared in her eyes as the desire for revenge overwhelmed her.

“You only saw those photos at the accident scene, right? You didn't see what he looked like in close proximity. Well, let me tell you. It was horrifying. His skull was smashed in with white brain matter flowing out of it. Even though Bailey knew she couldn't save Eugene's life, she tried her best. Because of this, she paid a hefty price, not daring to handle an operation for many years. The tragic sight of Eugene's crushed skull and his untimely death clouded Bailey's every thought. She couldn't forget the soul-piercing pain, not even until the day she dies.”

Micah's pace slowly came to a stop. He leaned his body against the wall, lowering his head without speaking.

If one were to observe carefully, one would notice his body was trembling violently. He didn't rely on the wall's support because he wanted to look cool. Instead, Micah was using it to ensure he didn't crumble to the ground.

Shannon's words were like daggers stabbing through Micah's heart when he thought about how he had never met his child.

“What... are you trying to say?” Micah questioned.
