Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 24

Bailey was in a dangerous position.

“Answer me. Are you the designer that Luther Group invited over?”

Bailey coughed lightly and replied, “I am. You made an appointment with me before, but you were busy

with your schedule. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I declined your invitation. I'm sorry.”

Artemis lifted the corners of his thin lips to form a wry smile as a bitter sensation surfaced in his heart.

He remembered how compliant she was when Edmund was holding her hand.

However, when it was Artemis' turn to invite her, she rejected him immediately and ended the call soon

after.

Why can she accept Edmund but not me? Her cold and indifferent attitude when she's around me is

hard to watch. Does being with me make her feel that uncomfortable?

“Do you like Edmund?”

Bailey frowned when she heard that weird question. After remaining silent for a few seconds, she gave

him an ambiguous answer by saying, “My son calls him 'Daddy.‘”

So... whether she likes Edmund or not depends on her son?

Artemis seemed to have discerned an underlying meaning from her words. Does that mean the boy

doesn't share Edmund's blood?

Bailey tried pushing the man's shoulder, but as soon as her palm felt the scorching warmth of his skin,

she reflexively pulled her hand back.

It's so hot! Is this man on fire?

Her touch which didn't even last for a second immediately evoked the strong desire within Artemis that

he had been struggling to contain. He clasped her wrist and pressed her palm against his chest.

Upon a few moments of silent tug-of-war, Bailey failed to break free from his grasp. Thus, she gave up

and looked coldly at the man. “Mr. Luther, don't you think our posture is too suggestive? Although we're

adults who can be responsible for our actions, you shouldn't forget about your identity. As long as

Rhonda still lives in the Luther residence, I am your sister-in-law, and you are nothing more than my

brother-in-law. Your rude and unruly behavior is unacceptable. Are you seriously trampling on morality

to challenge what is legally forbidden?”

The words “sister-in-law” and “brother-in-law” made Artemis' face darken and he glared at her fiercely.

He then gritted his teeth and said, “Your sister drugged me just now and ran away. It seems normal for

you, the elder sister, to clean up after her.”

Bailey was left speechless.

Does he mean that he's going to... have sex with me? How shameless!

“Let me go. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude.”

“Oh?” Artemis arched an eyebrow and lifted her chin. Her fair skin was smooth to the touch as his

fingertips caressed it. The wonderful and refreshing sensation flowed deep down into his heart, tugging

at his heart strings, initiating a melodious hum.

It felt so good that he was almost losing control over himself.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

The woman had the capability of triggering Artemis to the point of utter restlessness.

“What do you mean by 'rude?' Could you please demonstrate?” he asked.

“You pervert.” Bailey was seething with anger as she bent her knee, attempting to hit his groin

mercilessly.

Men were the most vulnerable under such circumstances. He would surely be taught an unforgettable

lesson if he suffered a fatal blow.

She might be fast, but alas, she wasn't fast enough. The man seemed to have predicted her intention

as he grabbed her knee and tugged on it as soon as she lifted her leg.

“Ah!”

As she was unable to stand on one leg, she lost balance and fell backward.

The next second, the room seemed to be spinning, and as she anticipated the imminent pain, her back

touched something soft instead.

She collapsed onto the couch that was made of elastic materials and bounced slightly when her body

came into contact with it. That tiny movement seemed to serve as a silent invitation, inadvertently

seducing the man.

When she realized the situation she was in, she tried using her arms to prop herself up and roll off the

couch, but the man was always one step ahead of her.

As a result, her arms were restrained by him and placed over the top of her head.

He was strong. Though she tried her very best to struggle, she still couldn't move even a muscle.

“Since you took the initiative, don't mind if I help myself.”

Bailey was fuming.

Since when did I take the initiative? You were the one that pinned me down!

Bailey chuckled out of rage and scolded, “You shameless jerk! You've always acted aloof and

indifferent, right? Why aren't you putting up that front now? Uninterested in woman, my foot! You

f*cking showed your true nature when you see a woman. You're such an animal!”

Artemis remained silent.

Surprisingly, he didn't get mad when she rebuked him. Instead, he began chuckling.

His low and pleasant laughter echoed in the room, bringing with it an enticing charm as if it were the

sweetest melody in the whole world.

So this is her true temperament, huh? She's like a wild rose with thorns or a cat with sharp claws. She's

so rebellious, unruly, and wild. Countless women in this world want to get their hands on me, but not

her. She is already lying beneath me, and yet she seems disgusted. It's as if I'm a loathsome person,

and she can't wait to escape from me. Edmund sure has good taste. He fell in love with such a candid

and untamed woman. But I'm interested in her, too. What should I do? I can't do anything to my

cousin's woman, but I'm not the kind to give up on what I want. There's no way I'm handing over the

prey that I have my eyes on.

“You're precisely right, Ms. Jefferson. If I don't live up to your expectations of me by behaving like an

animal, I'd disappoint you, right?”

Bailey was so furious that she was tongue-tied and her chest heaved violently.

Oh my god. How shameless can this man be? Both Artemis and Edmund are grandsons of the Chivers

family, so why is the latter so gentle and polite when the former is a despicable b*stard?

“You're seducing me.” Artemis looked down at her rapidly heaving chest. His gaze turned gloomy as if

brewing an intense storm.

Bailey followed his line of sight, looked down, and almost choked on her own saliva.

She was wearing a low-neck top, and after what had happened, her breasts were almost exposed.

“Are you really that eager to sleep with me?”

Artemis raised his eyebrows and caressed her rosy lips. The meaning behind his question was self-

evident.

Bailey snorted and said one word at a time, “I don't wish to be tainted by a swine.”

Artemis was at a loss for words upon hearing her harsh remark.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Someone seemed to be calling Artemis' name.

Bailey felt as though a bomb was set off in her mind when she heard the person's voice.

Alarmed, she quickly said, “Get up. Don't turn this into a big deal, or it will be embarrassing for both of

us. Mr. Luther, the mere fact that you had sex with Rhonda is enough to cause me revulsion.”

Artemis' face fell. The thought of Rhonda and Maxton caused a tinge of resignation in his heart.
