Pregnant?

Go abroad?

Perhaps...

When Bailey recalled Juliana's strange behavior before she left Hallsbay, a thought flashed across her mind.

Maybe, that night, Zeke slept with Juliana?

Then again, how did Shirley get pregnant?

Since she dared to go to the Shurmer family and tell them about her pregnancy, she must be very confident that the child she was carrying belonged to Zeke. Otherwise, a paternity test would expose her.

Did Zeke sleep with both of them that night?

If that's the case, it'll be a mess!

“Bailey, it doesn't matter who is carrying Uncle Zeke's child. Right now, the most important thing is to stop Uncle Zeke from marrying the other woman. Let's sort everything out first. What do you think?”

Suddenly, Bailey returned to her senses. Yes, the boy is right.

I'll have to stop Zeke and Shirley from registering their marriage. If Julie is indeed carrying Zeke's child, then the two of them will have missed their chance to be together, won't they?

She took out her phone and dialed Zeke's number.

The phone rang for three seconds before it was being answered. She could hear the cold voice of Zeke's. “Yes, Bay? What can I do for you?”

In that instant, Bailey's heart sank. “Where are you now?”

After a moment of silence, Zeke replied leisurely, “I'm at the bar. Did something happen to you?”

He sounded anxious all of a sudden.

Bailey took a deep breath before she said through gritted teeth, “Are you with Shirley?”

“We received our marriage certificate.” Zeke even joked, “Aren't you going to congratulate me? At last, I have settled my marriage issue.”

“Which bar are you at?”

“The one on the other side.”

“Wait for me. I'm coming to look for you.”

That took Zeke by surprise. “Don't come here. It's very noisy. If there's something urgent, I can come to the Luther residence right now.”

“No, I'll go there and look for you,” said Bailey obstinately.

With that, she hung up the phone and rushed out the door.

Felicity reminded her, “Be careful. Take a coat with you so that you won't catch a cold. Get the driver to send you there. Don't drive on your own.”

“All right.”

Back at the Shurmer residence, it had only been half an hour since Shirley received her marriage certificate. Yet, she was shocked when she saw the trending news on the Internet.

That wh*re, Juliana, is pregnant?

If the news was true, then she must be carrying Zeke's child.

Oh, God.

What if she comes back and looks for Zeke?

The marriage certificate in her hand began to feel like a hot potato.

The certificate felt so heavy and it seemed to be mocking her for her foolishness.

“Juliana, Juliana, you just refuse to disappear. Of all the days, you have to announce your pregnancy on the same day we register our marriage. This is too much!” she mumbled to herself as she scanned through other news.

When Shirley saw that the Hoffman family had announced that Juliana's child belonged to Huntley, she was relieved.

Thank God!

Now that the whole world knew that Juliana was carrying Huntley's child, she could never come running back to the Shurmer family even if she regretted it because no one would believe her. In fact, that could ruin her reputation.

Shirley was Mrs. Shurmer now.
