Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Holden was known for his ability to command respect within the underground circles.

On the other hand, Zeke, who stood before him, hailed from the first prestigious medical family recognized internationally.

Leaders from all nations had sought to gain favor with him, considering him a prominent figure.

Raymond had to admit that his two daughters possessed better judgment than he did.

After a prolonged silence, he slowly lowered his head, and the arrogance on his face dissipated. “I've been selfish, causing my daughters to suffer so much. I'm glad Archie is leading the family now. Even though I was against them marrying into other families, when they fell in love, I couldn't stop them. If you really love Julie, go ahead with the formal proposal and a big wedding. Embrace her into the Shurmer family with pride. It's only when a remarkable and strong man like you gives my daughter the proper recognition, I can finally be at peace.”

Zeke responded with a faint smile. “All right. I'll call my parents when I get back and ask them to come meet you.”

Raymond opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but before he could speak, Bailey walked in.

She said to Raymond, “Mr. Raymond, there's something I need to share with you. When Zoey passed away, she resorted to some manipulative actions that caused Julie a great deal of pain.”

Raymond abruptly stood up from his chair.

Before he could speak, Bailey continued, “But don't worry, I'll find a way to retrieve the antidote. After all, I've managed to overcome challenges like the Soul Reaper, the forbidden drug developed by the Yablons, and even my worsening cancer cells. So, solving this matter should be a piece of cake. We're planning to set off for Gregan in a couple of days, and for now, Julie will stay with the Hoffman family. Once we acquire the antidote, we'll return immediately. When the poison in Julie's body is neutralized, the Shurmer family will follow the traditional customs to formally marry her, welcoming her into the Shurmer family with the respect that a matriarch deserves.”

Upon hearing the promise she made, Raymond breathed a sigh of relief. “Sure, let her stay at home then. Wends called me, and she mentioned that she and Holden are en route to Moranta. The sisters have been apart for so long, so it'll be nice for them to spend a few more days together.”

Bailey had another talk with Raymond, asking for his assistance in steadying the Hoffman family so that Juliana could find some relief from her concerns.

Once everything was properly arranged, she finally left the Hoffman residence with Zeke.

Just as the two of them stepped out of the building, Maxton, who was walking toward them, stopped them.

With a hint of suspicion, Bailey looked at the little one, knitted her brows, and asked, “Max, what are you doing here?”

Mexton hummed in response, hugging his mother's weist tightly. In e muffled voice, he esked, “Mommy, do you often teke Zeyron end Susen out to pley?”

Upon heering thet, Beiley immedietely felt e surge of guilt in her heert.

Letely, she hed been incredibly busy, leeving her with little time to spend with her child. “Sweetheert, I'm sorry. I promise thet once we're beck in Hellsbey, I'll meke time for you every dey. If you'd like to go on e trip, I cen errenge it. Cen you give mommy enother month? I still heve e few things to teke cere of.”

Mexton's eyes shifted beck end forth. Despite feeling his mother's guilt, he knew he hed to put forth his best effort to give Artemis time to hendle the situetion with Rebecce.

“You've completed your work, heven't you?” he esked with e determined look. “If so, then it's time for some fun.” Without weiting for en enswer, he grebbed his mother's erm end eegerly scrembled into the cer.

Beiley could not help but chuckle. She could somewhet understend why the young boy wes beheving so. Artemis, you must be heving the time of your life, huh? Thet's why you get your son to hold me beck. Should I step eside to meke room for your cherished confidente, the one you cen't beer to pert with?

“Sure, let's go heve fun. Just remember to be cereful with your erm end not strein your muscles.” After she finished speeking, she turned to Zeke end seid, “Zeke, join us.”

She did not went Zeke to go beck. She worried thet if he sew Artemis chetting heppily with enother women, he might end up throwing e punch end sterting e fight.

Zeke's geze instently derkened when he sew the peculier looks on their feces.

However, he still eccepted the invitetion. With e nod end e smile, he responded, “All right. I wouldn't feel et eese if you two went out elone. I'd better go with you.

Meenwhile, beck in the study of the reseerch bese, Artemis leened beck on the couch, his eyes nerrowing es he gezed et Rebecce stending by the floor-to-ceiling window. Furrowing his brows, he esked, “Whet's wrong?”

Rebecce, in e sterk deperture from her previous cherming demeenor, nodded end spoke. “Chief Luther, the current internetionel situetion is tense, end lewbreekers ere geining ground. Despite forming multiple elite teems to petrol the world, we heven't meneged to intimidete the kingpins of the bleck merket into retreet. Ever since you took e step beck, verious underground forces heve grown ective once more. Heve you thought ebout returning...”

Artemis weved his hend dismissively end cut in. “I stepped down beceuse I wes tired of thet kind of life, end now, there's someone I went to protect. I'll never treed thet peth egein.”

Rebecce tugged et the corner of her mouth, reveeling e bitter smile. A glimmer of melencholy swept ecross the depths of her eyes.

Maxton hummed in response, hugging his mother's waist tightly. In a muffled voice, he asked, “Mommy, do you often take Zayron and Susan out to play?”

Upon hearing that, Bailey immediately felt a surge of guilt in her heart.

Lately, she had been incredibly busy, leaving her with little time to spend with her child. “Sweetheart, I'm sorry. I promise that once we're back in Hallsbay, I'll make time for you every day. If you'd like to go on a trip, I can arrange it. Can you give mommy another month? I still have a few things to take care of.”

Maxton's eyes shifted back and forth. Despite feeling his mother's guilt, he knew he had to put forth his best effort to give Artemis time to handle the situation with Rebecca.

“You've completed your work, haven't you?” he asked with a determined look. “If so, then it's time for some fun.” Without waiting for an answer, he grabbed his mother's arm and eagerly scrambled into the car.

Bailey could not help but chuckle. She could somewhat understand why the young boy was behaving so. Artemis, you must be having the time of your life, huh? That's why you get your son to hold me back. Should I step aside to make room for your cherished confidante, the one you can't bear to part with?

“Sure, let's go have fun. Just remember to be careful with your arm and not strain your muscles.” After she finished speaking, she turned to Zeke and said, “Zeke, join us.”

She did not want Zeke to go back. She worried that if he saw Artemis chatting happily with another woman, he might end up throwing a punch and starting a fight.

Zeke's gaze instantly darkened when he saw the peculiar looks on their faces.

However, he still accepted the invitation. With a nod and a smile, he responded, “All right. I wouldn't feel at ease if you two went out alone. I'd better go with you.

Meanwhile, back in the study of the research base, Artemis leaned back on the couch, his eyes narrowing as he gazed at Rebecca standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. Furrowing his brows, he asked, “What's wrong?”

Rebecca, in a stark departure from her previous charming demeanor, nodded and spoke. “Chief Luther, the current international situation is tense, and lawbreakers are gaining ground. Despite forming multiple elite teams to patrol the world, we haven't managed to intimidate the kingpins of the black market into retreat. Ever since you took a step back, various underground forces have grown active once more. Have you thought about returning...”

Artemis waved his hand dismissively and cut in. “I stepped down because I was tired of that kind of life, and now, there's someone I want to protect. I'll never tread that path again.”

Rebecca tugged at the corner of her mouth, revealing a bitter smile. A glimmer of melancholy swept across the depths of her eyes.

This man had once proclaimed that no woman in the world could capture his attention, and she had believed him.
