Super Mommy and Her Triplets

And it was surely a despicable and shameless bad deed.

Sure enough, a sly, calculating glimmer flashed across Artemis' eyes.

“I revealed this secret to Tucker.”

“Haha...” Bailey laughed as she threw herself into his arms.

While reaching out to pinch his handsome face, she praised, “You really live up to the reputation of the scheming man I know. It seems like a fire is about to start in the backyard of Mr. Philip's house.”

“Indeed, I've put a lot of effort into pleasing Zeke. In the future, you need to watch your words and avoid offending him again.”

Bailey lay in his arms, looking up at him. “What does this have to do with Zeke?”

Artemis leaned his head forward until his forehead touched hers, smiling as he said, “When the backyard of Mr. Philip's house caught fire, it led to a feud between brothers, each ready to fight the other. In the end, who do you think will benefit?”

Bailey rolled his eyes playfully, grinning as she said, “Juliana, haha. Are you helping your future sister-in-law here?”

The smile on Artemis's face froze.

Sister-in-law?

It was surprising that Bailey could even voice it out.

The apprentice has become my sister-in-law, this transition happens too quickly. Doesn't she need time to adjust?

Bailey burst into hearty laughter once again, slowly reaching out to encircle his neck. Leaning into his ear, she whispered, “Artemis, let me perform surgery on you, to reconnect your severed vas deferens. I still want to have a few more children with you.”

Time was peaceful, and there was a promising future ahead. It seemed the only thing she could do now was... to have a baby.

Hehe!

Artemis's gaze deepened, a hint of emotion flickering in his eyes.

He wanted to have another child with her.

Previously, she had given birth to a bunch of babies without his knowledge. He never really had the chance to experience taking care of a pregnant woman, or the joy of becoming a father for the first time.

Perhaps having another child could make up for this regret, and also let him see her struggles.

Seeing him silent, Bailey knew he was moved. Her eyes curved like crescent moons, and she tilted her head back, fiercely grinding her lips against his thin ones a few times.

“Alright then, it's settled.”

Inside the study at the winery.

Tucker suddenly sprang up from the sofa, angrily demanding, “Are you sure you're not mistaken? That old man and that old hag woman really had an illegitimate child outside?”

The personal bodyguard steeled himself and repeated it once again.

With a swift motion, Tucker picked up the wine glass from the table and fiercely smashed it onto the ground.

“No wonder that old man confidently said that Sofie would not betray us. Even if she did, Tarragon would still belong to the Hoffman family.”

“So, he fathered a b*stard with that wild woman, and the kid's already fifteen. What a d*mn irony. This means that old man never intended to hand over Tarragon to me. He's been planning to groom that illegitimate child.”

The personal bodyguard stood still with his head bowed, trembling all over in fear, not daring to even breathe.

After venting his frustrations by smashing all the precious antiques in the room, Tucker finally managed to calm his emotions.

An illegitimate child, huh?

Do you want him to take my place?

That all depends on whether he's got the luck or not.

“Go find out. I don't care how you do it, but you must locate that illegitimate child for me. I'll prepare a bottle of poison, and I'll make sure he's poisoned to the point of no return.”

“Yes.”

After watching his personal bodyguard leave, Tucker began to smirk at the mess around him.

D*mn old man, I've been helping you, doing all the dirty work, and this is how you treat me?

You're planning to support that b*stard, aren't you?

Fine then, I'll make sure he is completely destroyed. Let's see who you can rely on in the end.

At the same moment.

Inside the study of the Hoffman residence.

Juliana pushed the door open and walked in, asking as she did, “Dad, you called me over. What do you need?”

Raymond put down the newspaper in his hand, took off the glasses from his nose, and said in a soft voice, “I have installed a jamming device in this study, it's more convenient to discuss matters here.”

“Find some time to meet with Zeke and have a serious talk. Let him know your stance. Tell him to let go as soon as possible and leave Moranta quickly.”

Juliana lifted the corner of her mouth, revealing a bitter smile.

“Daddy, do you still not trust me? Do you think that after everything we've been through, I would run away with Zeke while Huntley is still bedridden?”

Raymond furrowed his brows, speaking in a deep voice, “That's not what I meant. If Zeke stays in Moranta for a long time, the family elders will always have their eyes on you, and your hands will be bound.”

Really?

She was indeed overthinking it.

“I'm sorry, Daddy. I misunderstood you.”

Raymond waved his hand and sighed. “I know this is too cruel for you, but there's no other way at the moment.”

“If Zeke doesn't leave, those old geezers at home will always be watching you. You can forget about having the freedom to do what you want.”

Juliana nodded slightly, saying in a soft voice, “I'll call Zeke right away, and tell him to leave...”

Before she could finish, Raymond interrupted her, “Some things are better said face to face.”

“I've arranged for someone to quietly take you to Zeke's place. You should sit down and have a good talk with him.”

Juliana pursed her lips.

She wasn't ready to face that man yet.

Initially, she drugged him, stole his seed, and secretly carried his child.

Even now, thinking about that episode made her feel shy, let alone face him.

“Daddy, aren't you afraid I might run away with him?”
