Female Novel
Chapter 106
Sh*t! Why is she so fierce? That's my dad!
Although Zayron had been speaking at length about ruining his father, such a treacherous act had onlyexisted in his imagination. He had never considered executing it. novelbin
Now that it seemed to have lit his mother's fuse, he relished the suffering his scoundrel of a biologicalfather might be in for.
Zayron decided against speaking further at that juncture for fear of making things worse.
At his reticence, Bailey took a deep breath to subdue the impulse of slapping him into the wall.
She strode to the desk and turned on the laptop.
After logging in to her messenger, she found Kai's avatar and clicked on it to reveal a log of theirprevious chats and an offline document.
Upon hesitating several seconds before the desk, Bailey clenched her jaw and clicked the file.
The first thing she saw was the particularly arresting headline of “Paternity Test Report.”
Her legs gave way after she perused the contents within, and she slumped into the seat.
When she read the words “The owner of these two samples are biological father and son,” she beganshaking all over.
It's been seven years. I have been looking for this scoundrel for seven years. No wonder I couldn't findhim in the blood bank. Turns out he is one of the Luthers.
The Luther family, being powerful and influential, had been keeping the blood samples of theirdescendants out of the public security database, which was how he had been able to get away forseven years.
Hah! Now I've caught him.
Zayron was frightened by the coldness of his mother's gaze. He hurried forward to hug her. “It's notworth breaking the law and putting yourself in prison for this guy, Mommy. Calm down, all right?”
Bailey looked down at him. “I will not spend my days with that b*stard father of yours,” she declaredcoldly. “If you want to return to your real family, you can go now.”
The child was rendered speechless and near tears. Despite that, he gazed steadily into his mother'seyes. “I've only known you all my life, Bailey, and I only want you. That b*stard father of mine hasnothing to do with me. You've raised me just fine these couple of years without a dad. I can't do withoutyou, Mommy. I'll starve to death.”
Just as Bailey was rendered dumbstruck with surprise, the door was pushed open from the outside,revealing Susan, who then entered.
When she saw her brother hugging her mother while crying, she hurriedly went over and hugged hermother's waist from the other side.
“We can pretend that nothing happened, Mommy. Let Daddy Eddy continue to be our father. Why don'tyou two get a marriage certificate quietly? They can't control the pair of you making children behindclosed doors.”
For the second time in as many minutes, Bailey was struck dumb again. The corner of her lipstwitched, and the anger in her heart subsided at her daughter's outburst.
Edmund must have seen the news now that the matter of the paternity test is trending. Perhaps he ishaving a harder time than me.
However, there was nothing more she could do.
Before that day, she had harbored the fantasy that she might marry him someday and experience acomplete marriage with his hand in hers.
With the recent exposure of the fact that her son was his cousin's—no matter how shameless orfearless she was toward the prejudice of the world—she did not have the courage to spend her life with
him anymore.
Although Bailey did not mind being the subject of gossip and judgment, she could not bring Edmund,who was elegant and gentlemanly, to suffer abuse and condemnation for her sake.
That man saved me from distress and helped me to break free from my predicament. If I have someconscience, I shouldn't pester him anymore and tarnish his reputation.
“Zayron, Susan.”
As she called her children, Bailey reached out to stroke their heads. “Let's not call Edmund DaddyEddy anymore when we see him, all right? He is your uncle. It will embarrass the Chiverses and theLuthers if you call him Daddy.”
Susan wanted to refute but was stopped by a glare from Zayron.
“All right. We'll do as you say.”
Bailey reached out to push them aside and stood up from her seat. “Let's not hide here in the study andgo outside. Victoria and Juliana are still in the living room.”
The girl wrapped her arm around her mother's and giggled. “I'm hungry, Mommy. I want some spicymeat.”
Kneeling on the carpet in the living room of the Luther residence, Simon gazed fearfully at his motherand brother seated on the couch.
Felicity's arm was in a cast, a bandage around her neck to hoist her entire arm up. The injury lookedsevere even from a glance.
If it were not for the leak of Simon's paternity test with the child, she would have gone to the police andsued Bailey for malicious assault.
“Tell me, did you touch her seven years ago?”
The one who spoke was Artemis. His voice of calm, and there was no telling if he was angry or happy.
Simon ducked his head. “The aphrodisiac I took that night was not as serious as yours, and I really didnot look for a woman,” he said timidly. “I stayed in the suite alone and slept in a daze all night.However, I had an erotic dream halfway through that I had ravished a woman. But it was just a dream.When I awoke the next day, I was alone in the room.”
The blue veins on Artemis' forehead bulged violently. No wonder this b*stard had been keeping hismouth shut and hiding from me whenever I asked this question all these years. He harmed other girlsand dismissed it as a dream. Preposterous!
“The facts are now laid out before you. She gave birth to a son for you. No, she gave birth to twins. Youalso have a daughter who—”
“F*ck!”
Simon leaped up from the ground before his brother could finish speaking. “Two? How is she sofertile?”
“Kneel,” Artemis growled.
Still terrified of his elder brother, Simon obediently kneeled again after being yelled at.
“A-Artemis, what are you going to do? In other words, what do you want me to do?”
What to do?
Artemis lowered his head slightly to hide the deep suspicion and unwillingness in his eyes. He slowlyclenched his fingers in the pockets of his trousers into fists.
He knew there would be no more hope for him for the rest of his life if he uttered the sentence.
However, as the head of the family, it was his duty to say it.
“She gave birth to two children for you. If she is willing to marry into the Luther family, you will—”
“No. That woman looks cold and nasty. I don't want to marry her. You go ahead if you want to.”
Artemis opened his mouth, quite ready to say yes, but a powerful drive restrained him from losing hissenses.
“You don't have the final say on this matter, nor are you qualified to decide. I will speak to Bailey. If sherefuses to marry you, then let it go. If she wants to—”
“I won't marry her even if she wants to. We're back to the same argument. You marry her if you want.
Since you want to marry her sister, just marry them both.”
“No.” Felicity suddenly stood up from the couch. “Neither of you is allowed to marry her.”
