SUPER MOMMY AND HER TRIPLETS - Season 5 Episode 8

Fortunately, the medical base wasn’t far from the Xuereb residence. It was a twenty-minute drive away, but one could make it in ten if one were to hurry.

Despite her efforts, Scarlett began to grow anxious when she failed to strip Justin’s bathrobe off.

Olivia had informed her that the drug was extremely potent. An ordinary person wouldn’t be able to resist it for more than ten minutes.

However, now that twenty minutes had passed and Justin still maintained his presence of mind, she couldn’t help but admire his willpower while worrying about how the situation was unfolding.

In the end, driven by desperation, she threw herself into his arms and pushed him onto the bed.

Justin had reached the limit of his resistance. He was close to losing his rationality in another minute or two.

His eyes were red as he stared at Scarlett, who was consumed by her obsession.

Raising his hand up high, he swung it down on her neck and knocked her unconscious.

The entire struggle had carried on for more than ten minutes.

Unable to hold himself back any longer, Justin staggered into the bathroom and dipped his head into cold water.

It wasn’t until a few minutes later that a dark figure flashed across the full-length windows of his room,

heralding Veronique’s arrival.

After a quick scan of the surroundings, she found Scarlett lying on the floor.

Thinking of how such a beautiful girl was willing to sacrifice her dignity for love, Veronique let out a sigh.

Even though she, too, had been obsessed with Justin once, it never occurred to her to resort to such unscrupulous measures to force his hand. Getting pregnant with Zephyr was a result of circumstances out of her control.

Why did you have to bet everything on a pipe dream? What’s the use of forcing the matter when his heart clearly doesn’t belong to you?

As the sound of flowing water rang out from the bathroom, she rushed inside without further hesitation.

The moment she opened the door, the condition Justin was in gave her a shock.

F*ck, what a potent drug! But I shouldn’t be surprised. Justin’s mother does know him like the back of her hand. She must have gone all out with the knowledge that ordinary drugs have no effect on him. I can’t believe how ruthless she is. If Justin resisted till the end, wouldn’t she end up killing him? If word gets out that he was killed by his mother…

“Justin, wake up. Wake up!”

She gave his face a couple of slaps.

As he gradually opened his eyes, the sight of her caused him to abruptly turn his body over and pin her on the ground.

The next moment, she was covered by passionate kisses.

“Give yourself to me…” His voice couldn’t be any hoarser.

Veronique pursed his lips and reminded him, “Are you sure? I just suffered a miscarriage, and my uterus still isn’t up to it.”

When she saw the agony he was in, she wanted to use herself as an antidote to ease his desperation.

Unfortunately, her body wasn’t in the condition to do so.

Also, by the time he regains his senses the next day, he will be filled with nothing but regret.

The moment the words “miscarriage” and “uterus” echoed through Justin’s mind, he froze briefly and narrowed his eyes at her. “Veronique?”

Breaking into a smile, Veronique wrapped her hands around his neck. “Yes, it’s me. But I can’t fulfill your request now. Just take the antidote instead.”

With that, she took a bottle out of her pocket. “Open your mouth.”

Turning his head to avoid it, Justin confessed, “Actually, I do have feelings for you. I was looking for an opportunity to bare my soul back then but ended up going to Dellmoor. After I saved Scarlett there, she

and her father took a liking to me. You left without saying goodbye, so I…”

Veronique’s eyes widened as she looked at him in disbelief.

What did he just say? He likes me? He really has feelings for me?

Overwhelmed by elation, she could clearly hear her heart pounding furiously.

“Y-You really like me? When I left without telling you, it wasn’t because I had given up on you. I found out that the Fletcher family had chosen you as their future son-in-law. Coupled with the fact that I got pregnant, I had no choice but to leave.”

Justin gave her a tight hug. “Luckily, I didn’t lose you over the years.”

Tears began welling up in Veronique’s eyes.

Knowing that Justin wasn’t one to utter sweet nothings, she knew he meant every word he said.

“Justin…”

As the effects of the drug began to overwhelm him, he gave his head a forceful shake before taking the bottle from her hand and pouring its content into his mouth.

Given the effectiveness of the antidote, Justin felt the heat in his body swiftly dissipate within a few minutes.

Looking in the direction of the bedroom, Veronique asked, “What are you going to do?”

Justin got to his feet before pulling her into his embrace.

“How did you get in?”

Veronique blinked. “I picked up rock climbing from Bay.”

“So you came in through the window?”

“Yup.” Veronique grinned.

Justin knocked her on her head. “Have you forgotten the condition your body is in?”

“Ouch!” Veronique nuzzled herself coyly against his chest. “Don’t hit me on the head. I’m not someone smart. If you do it a few more times, I’ll be dumber than Zephyr.”

At the mention of his son, Justin suddenly said, “Let him take my surname, Xuereb. We’ll keep his given name as it is. Zephyr Xuereb. How does it sound?”

Veronique nodded. “Excellent. I love the sound of it.”

Thereafter, she pointed to the bedroom and asked, “What are we going to do with her?”

An insidious expression flashed across Justin’s face. “We’ll take her to the study and both of us can get into bed after that.”

Veronique blinked.

“Your mother will probably burst a vessel once she sees us.”

Justin replied coldly, “She has to bear the consequences of setting up her own son. In fact, I have yet to hold her accountable for causing your miscarriage. So what if she’s an elder? It doesn’t negate the wrong that she has done.”

Veronique was bereft of speech.

The end result was just as she had expected. When Olivia led a group of her rich friends to Justin’s room, she almost fainted from anger at the sight of Veronique and Justin sleeping on the same bed.

Christopher’s birthday banquet ended on a sour note.

The next day, the International Racecar Tournament was held in Hallsbay.

Even though Adhira and Dexter didn’t participate due to personal reasons, it did not diminish the prestige of the event at all.

All the organizers did was announce that someone would replace Dexter but didn’t reveal who the mysterious driver was.

The hype surrounding the new driver filled the public with anticipation for the race.

Meanwhile, at the race area parking lot, Bailey and Shannon alighted from the car.

Just as they were about to enter the elevator, they ran into a couple.

Bailey recognized the man, who was none other than Micah.

As for the lady holding his arm tightly, Bailey had no idea who she was.

That fact alone worsened her impression of Micah. Naturally, she wasn’t going to mince her words. “Yo, Mr. Neyman, since when did you have a mistress?”

At the sight of Shannon, Micah attempted to retract his arm from Yvette. His face darkened when he heard Bailey’s words.
