Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14

As the man spoke, he entered the room.

The man was extremely handsome. He looked about twenty-six to twenty-seven years old. His voice was like a rushing river, soothing and calming to the ears.

All of his features were beautifully outlined, which gave him an attractive face. He looked like the finest painting by a skilled artist.

His name was Edmund Chivers, Yoel's eldest son, and Artemis' younger cousin.

Bailey narrowed her eyes at the man. There was a dark and unfathomable look in her eyes.

I didn't know he's... related to Artemis. Then again, he's a Chivers. Artemis' maternal side of the family also shares the same surname. It shouldn't be a surprise that he's part of their family.

However, Bailey had known the man for seven years. The fact that she only found out that he was the heir to the Chiverses was like a mocking slap to her face.

The Chiverses... The family that's no less than the Luthers! No wonder he has always seemed so unstoppable. He has such powerful families supporting his back.

“Daddy Eddy...”

Zayron slid out of Bailey's embrace. Just as his feet hit the floor, his weakened body went limp.

He was about to crash to the floor when an arm caught his tiny body.

In the next second, he was swooped up into the arms of the handsome man.

“Careful. If you ruin your pretty face in a fall, you won't be able to find a wife in the future.”

Upon hearing the soothing voice from the top of his head, Zayron burst into tears. “Daddy Eddy!” he cried out.

Everyone except Bailey was dumbstruck.

Zayron's innocent cry was like a bomb that exploded within the small space, sending out waves after waves of destruction.

“Daddy Eddy” was a title that implied too many things.

Could it be...

Widening her eyes, Rhonda gaped at Bailey in disbelief.

What is going on? What on earth is going on? Bailey didn't just sleep with Artemis, but with Edmund too? Edmund, who's known to be reserved? Not only did she birth Artemis a son, but she gave birth to Edmund's heir as well? How is that possible? How the hell is that possible?

Most women would not be able to get close to either one of the two outstanding young men in their entire lifetimes, yet Bailey had gotten both of them.

How could Rhonda not be envious and filled with hatred for Bailey?

Retracting his stretched-out leg, Artemis stared at Edmund cradling the child in his arms lovingly. A pang of jealousy rose to his chest.

Edmund's luck seems to be better than mine. Not only does he have a son, but he also has a wonderful woman...

“Oh, you're a family!”

Gwendolyn was the first to break the silence in the room. At the mere thought of the child in Edmund's arms being her grandson, Gwendolyn was overfilled with joy.

Just a moment ago, she was defending the young woman. It was to her greatest pleasure to find out that the young woman was the mother of her grandson.

Edmund had always been polite and would always set clear boundaries between males and females. If it was in the past, Gwendolyn would never have believed that Edmund had an illegitimate child behind their backs, no matter what.

However, as the scene in front of her continued to play, she was in awe of the heartwarming interaction between Edmund and the child. What other possibility could there be except Edmund being the father of the boy?

With a smile on his face, Edmund stroked Zayron on the back and cooed, “I've come here the moment I found out that you guys are in trouble. Shh, don't cry. It's okay. I'm here. I won't let you get into trouble.”

Meanwhile, Rhonda could only hear the buzzing inside her ears. A wave of dizziness washed over her.

H-How could this be? Bailey had already hit a dead end. All that was left was her eternal suffering. There wouldn't be a way for her to recover from it.

Yet now, all of a sudden, she became adorned by the Chivers family.

In other words, not only did Rhonda's plan fail her miserably, but Rhonda had unknowingly given Bailey the ticket to the Chivers family.

Hah! How ironic! Bailey's son turned out to be Edmund's child. Isn't that the greatest irony of the century?

Rhonda had thought that stealing Bailey's son and taking the latter's place in the Luther family would completely crush Bailey. That way, Bailey would forever be beneath Rhonda.

Never would she have imagined Bailey to become Edmund's woman instead and even gave birth to a son for the Chivers family.

The Chiverses were a family that was on par with the Luther family.

That b*tch! How is she so lucky? All of her children are heirs to the wealthiest family in the country! I hate her! I hate her so much!

She despised Bailey so much she wished she could skin the latter alive.

Still cradling Zayron in his arms, Edmund went over to take Bailey by her hand and nodded at Felicity. “Aunt Felicity, if there's nothing else, I'll be taking Bay and the kid away now.”

Before Felicity could answer, Artemis cut in, “Hold up.”

Raising an eyebrow, Edmund turned to look at Artemis. As their gazes met, the tension in the room rose.

The two young men stared each other down in a silent battle. Two full minutes passed before Edmund broke the tension with a smile. “Yes, Artemis? Do you have something to say?”
