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?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing 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.”
At the same time, Holden pushed open the door to the study in Tarragon.
He closed the door behind him, and after making sure there weren't any bugs listening, he said, “I've already
checked the corpses stolen from the funeral home. They are indeed suicide attackers from Tarragon. However, we
still need to check where they were dispatched to after their training, so we won't have the results any time soon.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmArtemis leaned against the couch as he kept his eyes on his phone's screen.
It showed a photo of Bailey.
He was starting to miss her.
“Okay. Make sure you get to the bottom of this. My intuition's telling me the person behind this is someone we
know.”
Artemis kept silent for a moment before adding, “Did you find any evidence that your sister was set up? It's almost
time, so you'd better hurry up.”
Holden furrowed his brows and replied in a low voice, “I've been busy with the arrangements for Micah's rescue
these days, so I haven't spent much time on that.”
“Leave the rescue to me. You should investigate the witnesses who received orders from Yvette to hurt your sister
and make sure you capture them. Otherwise, you'll never be able to get the justice your sister deserves.”
Meanwhile, Yvette was communicating with Sofie through a special method of contact in the guest room.
“I've already recalled the forces Father gave me to Hallsbay. What should we do next? Should I dispatch all of them
to assassinate Bailey?”
