Super Mommy and Her Triplets

---

In a bedroom in the Shurmer residence, Zeke stood by the bed and glared at Shirley, who was leaning against the headboard.

He had never felt such disgust toward her because of the relationship the Shurmers had with the Gourds in the past.

He would give her the cold shoulder as he was not interested in her. In other words, he had never harbored any romantic feelings for her.

Yet, ever since he found out that Shirley took the place of the woman he had a one-night stand with and wiped off Juliana's existence with the intention of marrying into the Shurmer family, his patience with her had worn thin.

The revelation that she had stolen his sperm from the bank and used it to impregnate herself only served to intensify his disgust toward her.

“I told you I'll not acknowledge this child and accept the baby. You are the one who insists on keeping it, so why do you come after me? You must be aware that I've had the butler tamper with the path in the garden and cause you to fall. So you should know I wanted to get rid of that fetus in your belly more than once. You insist on keeping the baby, so what do you expect from me? Don't expect me to love this child either. If you're smart enough, you should take the initiative to abort the child to avoid harming yourself and the baby.”

Shirley's eyes turned bloodshot, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She widened her eyes, shot daggers at him, and said in between sobs, “How could you do this? You're the child's father! If you don't believe it, we can do amniocentesis and run a paternity test.”

Despite her mother's repeated warnings about the potential harm to her unborn child, Shirley was determined to run a paternity test to prove to Zeke that he was indeed the biological father to her child.

Although the method of obtaining the sperm might not have been entirely ethical, the baby was still biologically his as it had been conceived using his sperm and her ovum and then implanted into her body through in vitro fertilization. There's no way he can deny it.

Upon hearing that, Zeke let out a cold snort.

He knew the woman was kept in the dark and had no idea where the devil's spawn in her womb actually came from since her mother had hidden the truth from her. So what? Since the moment she pretended to be the woman I slept with and implanted my sperm into her body, any sympathy I might have for her had flown out of the window.

Zeke said, “Do you not understand what I said? Look, I've told you this many times already. It's not about whether he's my son or not. I just don't want him. Period. That's why I asked the butler to figure out ways to get rid of him. I thought I made it pretty clear. It doesn't matter if he's mine biologically or not. If I wanted to accept him, I would, even if he wasn't mine. But I don't, so there's no use trying to put pressure on me.”

Plop...plop...plop...

Tears that were rolling in Shirley's eyes gushed out uncontrollably. I've done everything I could, but why is he still doing this to me?

“It doesn't matter if you refuse to acknowledge it. The child is growing inside me, and when he's born, he'll be your eldest son. Blood is thicker than water. I don't believe you'll have the heart to strangle him to death when he comes to this world. Everyone knows that I'm carrying your child and we're getting married. I still want the Mrs. Shurmer title, even though our relationship is just in name,” Shirley uttered.

Zeke responded with a faint grin. I might consider recognizing her as Mrs. Shurmer if she's carrying my child. I'd also be more than willing to maintain an impersonal relationship with her for the rest of my life after the birth of our child. But that child in her womb is not a Shurmer.

Upon hearing Shirley's cries, Waverly burst into the room. “You b*stard! I ask you to come and comfort Shirley, not to provoke her!”

Zeke narrowed his eyes and glanced at her before responding indifferently, “Lionel was stabbed right in the heart, and he might not survive the attack. Shouldn't you be visiting him since you're his only family member?”

Waverly was struck dumb. “N-Nell was injured?”

Zeke's frown tightened. “Did you not know about it?”

After that, he scoffed and added, “I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You don't even care about your daughter since you're more concerned about the child in her womb, let alone the life and death of your nephew. I have nothing to say, except good luck to you all.”

With that, he glanced at Shirley's belly before turning around and walking toward the door.

At that moment, the housekeeper's voice came from behind the door. “Mrs. Shurmer, Mr. Zeke, Ms. Jefferson is here.”

Zeke knitted his brows. What is she doing here? Does she not know danger lurks everywhere right now?

Frustration kicked in, and Waverly could not help but recall what Zoey had said.

Zoey revealed to Waverly that Bailey had been trying to set up a match between Zeke and Juliana, and that was why Bailey had been defaming Shirley and urging Zeke to get rid of the baby.

Waverly bought her story.

It was logical for Bailey to assist Juliana since the latter was her protégé. But does she not know Shirley is already carrying a child of the Shurmer family? Knowing that Zeke is on her side, what exactly is her intention? How could she instigate her brother to abort the child her future sister-in-law is carrying? How could she sacrifice Shirley and her unborn child to pave the way for her protégé?
