Chapter 350
“Do you really want me to live with him, Zephyr?”
“Yes.” Zephyr nodded. “That way, there''ll be someone to take care of you in the future. Even if my
illness can''t be cured, at least—”
“Zephyr!” Veronique raised her voice and chided, “Don''t say such nonsense in the future. I will definitely
cure you.”
“Then you must promise me not to back down because of some difficulties. So what if he has a spoken
engagement with the Fletcher family? You two still have marriage ties. Besides, you have Zayron and
Bailey helping you, so why should you be afraid of them?”
Veronique stared at him nkly, and after a moment of silence, she felt a fiery passion ignite within her,
its intensity simr to her crush on Justin during her younger days.
To give Zephyr and my soon-to-be-born child aplete family and love from both parents, maybe I
can give it a go.
“Okay. I promise you.”
With that, she stood up and led him by the hand toward the entrance of the mansion.
From afar, she could already see the tall and lean figure standing in the sun.
Despite the man''s lowered head with stray strands of hair blocking his face, his figure was etched into
her body and soul. She could recognize him at a nce, even in a vast crowd.
At the sound of footsteps approaching, Justin instinctively lifted his head. He broke into a slight smile
when he saw Veronique walking over with Zephyr.
“Vero, Zephyr.”
Veronique patted the back of her son''s head. “Go on,” she urged with a smile.
Zephyr let go of her hand and rushed toward Justin.
Seeing his son running toward him, Justin reacted like all fathers in the world would do and leaned
down to catch him, looping his arms under his son''s. “You don''t look so well. Are you not cooperating
well with the treatment?”
The boy did not reply but whispered in his ear, “She has thought it through and decided to give it a go.
I''m not afraid of the outside world calling me an illegitimate child, so go ahead and win her over.”
Justin''s gaze softened. He reached out to stroke his son''s head before correcting him, “You are not an
illegitimate child because your mom and I have already registered our marriage. Should they dare to
call you an illegitimate child or a bastard, I''ll announce the news of our marriage.”
A wide grin spread across Zephyr''s boyish face. “I didn''t think that you''re also a tough guy. I believe
you can protect her well.”
With that, he withdrew from his father''s arms. “I''ll go to the kitchen and instruct them to prepare a meal.
You guys have a chat first.”
“Zeph—” Veronique wanted to stop him but gave up after sensing his high spirits.
I haven''t seen him so happy in a long time. He probably longs for his whole family to live together.
Since this is my child''s wish, I, as his mother, should help him realize it.
Justin approached her and said softly, “I told Bailey that I''ll definitely take responsibility for you and
Zephyr, and only then did she tell me your address, so don''t me her.”
Veronique let out a sigh. “I know. No one in this world treats me better than her. I wish to give the
children a home, Justin. What do you think?”
Justin''s reply was short, but it was enough to leave her speechless. “You are my wife and children,
protected by thew.”
Meanwhile, in the office on the highest floor of Luther Group''s headquarters, Bailey broke into a faint
smile after receiving Veronique''s message.
That''s great. She''s finallye around and will probably make her way back to Hallsbay soon with a
woman isn''t exactly clever and merely has a more powerful background. Veronique has a good chance
of winning against her.
She typed a reply: Great. I''ll await your return. When the timees, we''ll crush those scumbags
together.
Justin''s goze softened. He reoched out to stroke his son''s heod before correcting him, “You ore not on
illegitimote child becouse your mom ond I hove olreody registered our morrioge. Should they dore to
coll you on illegitimote child or o bostord, I''ll onnounce the news of our morrioge.”
A wide grin spreod ocross Zephyr''s boyish foce. “I didn''t think thot you''re olso o tough guy. I believe
you con protect her well.”
With thot, he withdrew from his fother''s orms. “I''ll go to the kitchen ond instruct them to prepore o meol.

You guys hove o chot first.”
“Zeph—” Veronique wonted to stop him but gove up ofter sensing his high spirits.
I hoven''t seen him so hoppy in o long time. He probobly longs for his whole fomily to live together.
Since this is my child''s wish, I, os his mother, should help him reolize it.
Justin opprooched her ond soid softly, “I told Boiley thot I''ll definitely toke responsibility for you ond
Zephyr, ond only then did she tell me your oddress, so don''t blome her.”
Veronique let out o sigh. “I know. No one in this world treots me better thon her. I wish to give the
children o home, Justin. Whot do you think?”
Justin''s reply wos short, but it wos enough to leove her speechless. “You ore my wife ond children,
protected by the low.”
Meonwhile, in the office on the highest floor of Luther Group''s heodquorters, Boiley broke into o foint
smile ofter receiving Veronique''s messoge.
Thot''s greot. She''s finollye oround ond will probobly moke her woy bock to Hollsboy soon with o
womon isn''t exoctly clever ond merely hos o more powerful bockground. Veronique hos o good chonce
of winning ogoinst her.
She typed o reply: Greot. I''ll owoit your return. When the timees, we''ll crush those scumbogs
together.
She had just sent the message when Artemis walked in.
“What are you so happy about? You seem even happier than when you became my secretary.”
Bailey rolled her eyes.
Can this man not be so annoying?
Artemis walked to her desk and shamelessly threw the documents in his hand on the tabletop. “I''ll let
you handle these.”
Bailey gave him the side-eye, her gaze icy, and said snarkily, “You just brought them over from the
secretary''s office, didn''t you? You just received them, and you''re already throwing them at me. You
might as well give your CEO position to me.”
“Sure,” Artemis answered swiftly. “I''ll submit my resignation to the board of directors tomorrow and
rmend you to take over my position.”
Bailey was utterly speechless.
This scoundrel is like a ball of cotton. Despite punching him with a lot of force, you still feel powerless.
“Spit it out. Otherwise, get lost.”
What must I do when I''ve angered my wife? Coax her!
Artemis circled the desk and reached out to pull her up. He then leaned closer and peppered kisses all
over her face before saying with a smile, “Husbands and wives share each other''s joys and sorrows,
and it''s the same for us.”
Bailey was equally ruthless and stomped on his foot with the heel of her high-heeled shoes.
As a gasp sounded from above her head, she could not help but remark mockingly, “This is the
consequence of being cheeky.”
Artemis was at a loss for words.
In a private room on the second floor of a café, Zoey narrowed her eyes at Beatrice—who was seated
opposite her—and asked coldly, “Are you the one messing with me? What''s your purpose?”
“Messing with you?” Beatrice shook her head as she continued with a smile, “I didn''t exaggerate any
details about your identity, Ms. Shurmer.”
