Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 1063

Chapter 1063 The Embroidery Competition

Bailey was on a video call with Artemis inside the study.

She told him everything about the mess Sylvester had made without leaving out a single detail.

After listening to her words, Artemis reassured her, “I'll deal with him when I return. That j*rk should consider himself lucky that I married a smart wife. Otherwise, there would be no future between him and Rainie.”

Bailey couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Who praises their wife like that?

“Do you also trust my judgment? Do you believe that Rainie was set up by someone?” she asked.

After some thought, Artemis calmly replied, “No one knows the truth. I'm just grateful you've given them a chance to reconcile. And they do need such an opportunity. Now that you've provided it, that's enough. As for the outcome, let's leave it to fate. We just need to do our best.”

Bailey smiled lightly and said, “You know me best. You're right. Let's just do our best. One is practically your brother, while the other is my friend. As the people closest to their situation, we ought to do something to live up to their trust.”

“There you go, don't overthink it. Let things take their natural course. You've done your best. Don't overwork yourself. Take good care of yourself.”

“Yeah, I got it. What's the situation on your end? Have you sorted things out yet?”

Artemis fell into silence, seemingly weighing his words carefully.

A full two to three minutes passed before he finally spoke. “Faceless is indeed collaborating with Black Puma, providing them numerous favors. Interpol just can't seem to track them down.”

He continued, “As for Maerlus' son, I'm not sure where he is right now, but he has definitely been kidnapped. Faceless is an expert in disguise, so I daren't act rashly in this matter.”

Bailey mulled over his words and suggested, “Then don't make any moves. Wait until I figure out what happened to the Hollett family a month ago. After resolving Rainie's situation, we can head to Zaewora. I must settle this score with Faceless myself. You can't help much, and I don't want you to suffer any unexpected setbacks.”

“All right. I'll start the investigation discreetly. Once you arrive, you can wrap things up. Don't rush to deal with your current affairs. There's no hurry on my end,” replied Artemis.

Instinctively, Bailey placed a hand on her lower abdomen.

Artemis was still unaware of her pregnancy. He'll be overjoyed if I tell him about it, won't he?

Still, if she were to tell him about this, knowing his temperament, he would probably rush back immediately on a private jet.

If he did so, then all the investigative work of the past two days would be in vain.

All she wanted was to quickly resolve everything so she could peacefully plan her wedding at home.

“Artemis, if I ever hide something from you, it would only be a well-intentioned concealment. You wouldn't blame me, would you?” she asked.

Artemis narrowed his gaze at her for a moment, then chuckled lightly. “How can I keep track of everything you've kept from me? And when have I ever held it against you? As long as it doesn't harm your life, I won't blame you. But if you're gambling with your life, I won't forgive you.”

“Hehe, don't worry. I won't do that. You need to take care of yourself over there, and you're not allowed to interact with any women, especially that Rebecca from Interpol.”

Artemis wanted to say something else, but his phone rang, interrupting his speech.

He stood up and walked to the balcony to answer the call. When he returned, he said to Bailey, “I've found out where Maerlus' son is. I'm going to check on that lead. I'm hanging up on the video call now. I'll call you back later.”

“All right, be careful. Don't act recklessly, and don't fall into their trap.”

“Hmm.” Artemis was about to close his laptop when a thought struck him, causing him to freeze abruptly.

He added, “I have sent for the inheritors of the Yrinasion embroidery technique. They should have already arrived in Hallsbay. When the time comes, see whether you prefer the Strassonian embroidery technique or the Yrinasion embroidery technique. Regardless of which one you choose, I will support you.”
